The Championship keeper that has always impressed me is Johansson at Rotherham, probably because he has a lot to do!

Grimes is a decent player, but not dynamic enough for me. If he was brought in as Hamer's replacement and the fans judged him as such, I think his goal scoring output would disappoint many.

The same Matt Grimes that has scored a total of 6 goals in the last 6 Championship seasons? An average of a goal a season does not provide a like for like Hamer replacement!

Need to see it back again but thought Simms was onside at the time, but it did seem an uneccessary risk to take. I remember in our first season after relegation from the PL, Lee Hughes did likewise tapping in a goalbound effort from Chippo which got chalked off for offside, that would have put...

I think Al Hammadi is a much better long term prospect than Langstaff, if we are looking at prospects from League 2.

Watching the EFL highlights show I was a little surprised by the away end spaces on Boxing Day for Bristol City, Norwich & QPR, so the low support at Middlesbrough on New Years Day shouldn't be viewed as particularly poor. I don't imagine too many people are keen on such a long drive after a...

I hope you're right but being 3-0 up with 15 minutes to go last season was also a pretty good opportunity 😧

I think O'Hare's positive influence is such that he does deserve to be the highest earner at the club, but whether that's enough to keep him goodness knows. Knowing that his contract up at the end of the season, I can't see any offer in January higher than £1m. If that is the case in my opinion...

If any English teams want to sign up for this or any other version of it, then it should be made clear that in doing so they will also effectively resign their position in the PL. If the 6 'big' clubs want to do that it won't take long for a new pecking order to grow in English football without...

Lewis O'Brien and John Swift were the rumoured targets, although not sure either would have been an out and out replacement in terms of playing style.

Maybe a league lower but I can see why a move to Derby would be more attractive than one to say Huddersfield or Rotherham.

Disagree on Doyle. I actually thought he knew how far to push it and that the West Brom cup game you refer to was actually an exception. Other than that game I don't remember him ever being sent off for us, which was not too bad in well over 300 games.

Some people really bought into the homesick rumours, and effectively wanted us to give him away so he could have decent access to his child. I suspect a few may have taken that standpoint through previous experience themselves of being forced into being a long distance parent, given the passion...

Haven't been to Leeds for years, but always a good night out. No idea if its still there but loved the Stone Roses Bar, even though it seemed odd to me they would have such a bar in a town with such a well known rivalry with Manchester.

From what I have read there are more people backing him, than having a go at him. Like I pointed out though, I'm not really that interested in criticising him either, just trying to make the point that Eccles in the same position would have been treated mercilessly by many of the same people...

Wasn't it Sheaf who gave the ball away cheaply in the lead up to their goal? I suspect if it had been Eccles instead he would have been royally roasted. Incidentally I don't want Sheaf targetted either, just pointing this out. Against Leeds I would be starting both Sheaf and Eccles.

Be nice if they draw an English club next. If he plays well against an English club in Europe then it will help any sell on value.

He was excellent for us in that promotion year.

Don't tell Boosh!!

Looking at that freezeframe (and in hindsight obviously), the best option would have been to roll it along the ground and under the keeper. I do think keepers like to deploy the old Schmeichel star jump in such circumstances, and rolling the ball has as good a chance as any in that situation...
