Massively important to stay in the Championship this year for so many reasons. From purely a team perspective, Fernando made similar points to my thoughts on it. We have young squad, inexperienced at this level, who are fairly evenly matched in terms of current ability. Maybe only Marosi and...

Surely 'It Numpty' must be somehow related to 'Nii Lamptey'

Mr Bump - Keith O'Neill

Or just a massive book on her desk and casually gluing the final few matches to a matchstick stadium.

Huge opportunity missed for a Foxtrots pun!

I said the same in the match thread at the end of the game on Friday. Word gets around a division quickly when one or two teams have had success against a team's chosen formation. I expect a few more teams will now do their homework and try to pin our wing backs back and then press our defence...

He was able to hold his shirt up in the new contract picture, he's fine! :P

That time when I was 9 and got a stomach upset after eating too much alphabet spaghetti.

Didn't have a pre-season and short of match fitness. To avoid getting pelters I do not want Robins sacked :p but i don't know why he doesn't throw Baka or Walker on for that last 20 mins tonight. If Godden gets injured we'll have strikers that haven't played 45 mins league football between them...

Well the Sheaf vs Kelly, Shipley vs Allen debate is for nothing. None of those 4 players is, purely by their inclusion, making a flying fuck of difference to that result. The key tonight was that they pushed our wingbacks backwards, made them defend and so we played with a flat back 5 for much...

A little bit Ben Stevenson so far and glad it's just a loan right now! A little overweight, lacking a proper pre-season and not match fit. Can see there's a footballer in there though. Hope he'll get better with games. He needs to. If he's got the right head on him that'll be a wake up call -...

They would have run rings round Kelly tonight. Kelly is a brilliant lower league player where he can read slow, stupid footballers, anticipate and nip in and win the ball. Against most top half teams in this league, he won't get near them. It'll be the single biggest issue this year across the...

I’ll be surprised if we’re still playing this formation by the end of the season.

Sheaf was miles off the pace in the first half. Rivaled Shipley for how poor he was but it’s a step up for him on last season, in a new team. He’ll get better and he won’t come up against many teams as strong as this.

Shipley needs time to see if he’ll adapt at this level. He’s started 3 of his 4 seasons as a pro behind the curve and developed his strengths to be an effective player in L2 and L1. What he hasn’t done is develop his weaknesses, tackling, speed and consistent passing accuracy, so Champ maybe a...

I didn't make a single comment on Allen or his merits to be in the side or not. My post was about you.

You already said today that if Kelly is fit he starts. But he's on the bench. So is he fit or not?

From the extended pre match MR interview - Kelly is fit and in MRs words 'back in the fold and looks like he's not been out,' Mason has a medial ligament issue in his knee that will keep him our for 6-8 weeks, MR doesn't expect any more ins or outs before the deadline.

Strachan scored an own goal at Wembley in the 1992 Charity Shield despite only playing for 6 minutes!
