The bigger worry about the goal yesterday than him being in the wrong position was the setup for the freekick. It looked all wrong and that is the keeper's responsibility. Obviously Brighton see a player there and hopefully he will improve, but there will be mistakes along the way, especially...

I guess he'll be offered an extension at some point but maybe it is time for him to move on for his own career. He'll certainly cost good money to replace.

I remember somebody commenting preseason on just how loud Wilson was. Monaco.

Maybe you're right, maybe a bit of both. He hinted that he paid more than he would have liked to anyway.

It wouldn't be doable outside the prem I don't think. Even in America the Cities generally fund the local stadiums but that's illegal over here.

Don't forget that Tesco paid a lot too.

North of the £40m ball park I was thinking yesterday. Maybe the accounts will tell us next year but he was strangely coy about it.

The key will be avoiding major injuries as far as possible. Haji might easily have had a fractured cheek yesterday from that disgraceful elbowing, for example, but if we have enough depth to allow players not to be playing fatigued too often then we're in with a shout. The aim now must be stay...

Grimes got 3 1/2 years so I think off the top of my head that only the new signings take King beyond his 5 year plan. KKH got 4 years. My thinking is that is when he decided that he was in it for longer but who knows really. We do have an issue brewing with a cliff edge of contracts ending at...

Absolutely agree. You could see it in the players' contracts. Until recently we had nobody with a contract beyond the five years, that's beginning to change now and King has probably decided to make a longer game of it.

Maybe it all makes more financial sense in a PL setup. I sense from what King said that they feel this is the season or we're likely gong to be losing a few of these players. Haji will be worth a king's ransom if he has a good World Cup, Rudi will probably want to move on, maybe Milan, Torp and...

I think we all want him to score and get some confidence but there's just no sign of it happening, unfortunately. I feel he needs a fresh start somewhere, maybe in a team that plays a bit more on the break.

Wilson from what I've seen. We've conceded 4 pretty soft goals in two games. That isn't good but our goals will mean it goes under the radar for now. Rushworth might well improve given time but can we afford the likely ups and downs if we're pushing for promotion? I believe all of the best teams...

The injuries weren't connected so I don't think there's anything to worry about there. Anyone can have a run of different knocks just like it's possible to throw a double six twice in a row.

I looked yesterday too, they didn't file their accounts in May as they had in 2024. The financial position had been improving it was said and the £7m was expected to be much smaller. The interesting part of the King interview yesterday was him saying that the prem clubs are all trying to get the...

It'll have been a lot more than £20m that's for sure...

On another day it will matter.

Can't say that here!

Rushworth's fault?

Game's gone flat!
