In our two competitive games so far we have been alarmingly open in the centre of the pitch which puts pressure on the back line. Whether it is the absence of Sheaf, Eccles, looking below par, our new tactics or the wrong personal we really need to tighten up. We played a Stoke side with no...

Would have if he had more than one foot.

Hamer came for £1 million, left for near £15 million apparently. Rudi around £2 million so about same as when Hamer came at current rates. Gus was a slow burn and got better and better. Lets hope he moves on so we get our 10%. Rudi has played one and a quarter competitive games, yesterday...

Worried that Viks release clause is going to create problems for clubs with FFP.

Absolutely spot on. There is some unfair revisionism going on about O'Hare. He was brilliant for us before his injuries. The most fouled midfielder in the league for a reason. The jury is out whether he can regain his top form after his ACL. MR wanted O'Hare to stay but the lure of massively...

Don't think it is outdated. Football may be less physical than back in the 70s and 80s when some tackles were life threatening and career ending. However, if you do not match the physicality of some teams you get turned over. Kitch, Thomas and Lati are no angels and do try to intimidate the...

Over to Vic and Gus then. Get a move on chaps.

Classic letting your opposite number know you are there. Weak ref most of the match missed the intention there and all the shirt pulls and pushes from Stoke.

We wanted the Forest centre back on loan with a view to buy if we got promoted, but they want to sell due to FFP. BNC, I agree. Players with experience who are not too old or injury prone rarely go out on loan.

I agree we can play better than that and frankly we have to. We beat loads of teams better than Stoke last year. Pre-season performances time and time again prove to be a meaningless indication of the real thing. Stoke were rubbish in pre-season and played us off the park in the first half...

Agree with the observation that with Oxford on Friday we will field a mainly second string team. Bristol will have a longer recovery time (I assume) before their next match so will play a slightly stronger side. Will be interesting to see how the "second choice" players perform. As Eccles...

This was a proper match not a pre season non contact game. Our midfield was very poor and bullied by a team with loads of their first choice players missing. They were ready for our wingers and tactically out though us in the first half. Second half we bossed it but never looked like scoring...

Read somewhere the percentage sell on disappears or reduces after this season.

Is it the crocs?

I'd take that now. Predictions in the Championship are impossible to make as (to use a cliche) every team can beat each other. I have mentioned before, teams that were also rans last season have got better managers and are much better organised. Many matches home and away will be battles and we...

Hit wrong button. Was Kitch's man. Dovin was at fault. Wilson or Collins would have been crucified.

Hit wrong button. Was Kitch's man.

I think we will go up this season unless we have really bad luck with injuries or sell a couple of our best players. However, whilst the relegated sides will be favourites, there are a lot of mid table sides from last year who changed their managers and improved their form. A lot of those teams...

The Swifties take up all the tickets. Biggest draw in the world who hoovers up all the money..

They fuck you up, Coventry City
