    Team for Wednesday

    I think there's a few of you being a bit naive about this game. The Middlesbrough game on Saturday has to be our main focus this week. It is the start of the season and its natural that players will start to get a little leggy as matches go on, particularly with the extra added on time this...

    Hamer

    Where does this 'questionable attitude' come from? Hamer is a player who always seems to put the effort in so it seems to me a completely unreasonable comment. Should we get rid whatever the offer? £3m for arguments sake?

    Ex Player Watch

    Although past his best Waghorn was evidently a decent pro while with us even though it never worked out for him, so good luck. If I'm honest I can't really see him tearing up League 1, but his experience and professionalism may have a positive effect on some of the younger players in the team to...

    The booing of Doyle

    Yes to be fair it did come across as pantomime booing, rather than really aggressive hatred that can be dished out occasionally.

    Transfer targets

    What about Gardner-Hickman at West Brom? Apparently he's not in favour with Corboran!

    Team for Wednesday

    I would be surprised if any of yesterday's starting XI start tomorrow so I'll go with: Collins Howley Binks Bidwell van Ewijk Kelly Sakamoto Eghosa Burroughs Obikwu Wright Subs bench will be packed with first teamers though!

    Transfer Rumour Ellis Simms

    Sunderland fan I work with told me Simms was a slow starter with them last season, but then combined well with Stewart who Wright looks quite similar to, so I'm looking forward to seeing them play together. They both have the height and stature to really put it to Championship defences.

    The booing of Doyle

    I think it shows a lack of class on our part - did Sunderland fans boo him last season? He was good for us and probably had very little say in his move to Leicester. I'm sure a few on here supporting his booing were the same people slagging off those that gave Maatsen the same treatment last...

    Hamer

    My impression is that him wanting to go back to Holland has been completely blown up on here, with the theory seemingly growing a life of its own as more and more posters give it credence by adding 2+2 in relation to his marriage break up and a newspaper article from a year ago saying he would...

    Championship Predictions

    Southampton to do best of the relegated teams and win the league. The other 2 relegated teams will be in the top 6 too. Its difficult after that really but I would have thought Boro, Sunderland, Norwich, West Brom, Millwall, Swansea, Stoke, Ipswich and ourselves have reasonable shouts at making...

    Hamer

    When he came on at Exeter he immediately looked the best player on the park. I'm sure he's fit enough! If he doesn't play it will be for other reasons.

    Happy birthday Bill Glazier.

    The goalie when I first saw us in 1972. He was a very athletic keeper and made spectacular dives that always looked good in photographs.

    Team to play Leicester

    All reports I've read about Simms is that he is much better with a partner up front. He is a very different player to Gyokores and would not be able to cover the ground that he did as a lone forward while still providing a goal threat. I therefore also believe Godden will start, even if we bring...

    Who can replace him?

    From what I understand it appears he has been offered a much higher salary by someone through his agent, hence rejecting our contract offer. It is not in Hamer & his agent's interest to start a bidding war as the lower the transfer fee the better deal he can probably command, so I don't think...

    Hamer

    What's the consensus if a Championship club like Leeds or Leicester offer say £7m, but a PL club only offer say £5m? Should we sell to the highest bidder even if it results in making one our direct rivals next season much stronger?

    Who can replace him?

    We really don't know who's after him!

    Hamer

    I tend to agree. Unfortunately the PL clubs reportedly interested (Burnley/ Luton) will not want to spend the money we will be looking for. We might have better luck if the likes of Forest or Wolves come in for him though, but at the moment this has all the looks of a protracted saga, and could...

    Who can replace him?

    I was thinking loan rather than permanent signings. 30m for Doyle does indicate how difficult replacing Hamer will be if we end up selling him at a cut price fee.

    If Hamer's available he plays.
