Stuart Pearce drove a clapped out Ford Capri when he played at Cov. If my memory serves me correctly, the gate man at the King Richard Street car park (Highfield Rd) tried to turn him away when he turned up for his first game.

That may play a part. But he sometimes wants the ball when it isn't on and he isn't good at finding space to play in, say like Bannon, Hodge and Pritchard. I liked the look of Dele-Bashiru for Watford.

That is now showing through with his increased fitness. His tracking back was much better v Watford. He still isn't super quick but he can now at least more or less stay with them which keeps them under pressure. Earlier in the season he was just lagging behind if a player went past him. The...

Ben Sheaf is an excellent DM. But he has missed Hamers creativity along side him. Last season and this he has suffered because we have tried to play through him from the back and it doesn't suit him. He is too slow ponderous and cautious. This season alone he has made some suicidal passes...

What a wise man

That was the issue for me, he was a sub in both those games. He always looked good coming off the bench when the game was getting stretched and there were a few tired legs. What he couldn't do was impose himself on a game from the start. He wasn't quick enough physically or mentally. That...

It was a sparky game yesterday and he showed a level head, which he didn't last season and got involved in too much needless stuff. To me his ability has never been the issue, it has always been his temperament. Yesterday showed he can do it.

Torp is looking better every week and seems to have better fitness levels and getting his foot in now (his passing and moving the ball quickly was never an issue just a strength). I stand by my early season criticism of him, but looking a different player now. Re Torps first goal a shout out...

At least when Allen receives the ball it looks like he knows what he wants to do with it, turn and move us forward. Rather than Sheaf's ponderous dithering. Sheaf is a good DM but not someone you want to play through from the back.

Form ebbs and flows, it's the reason for a squad.

Hypothesis Anyway you do realise we have only lost one game away at Norwich in the January transfer window and won all our other games don't you?

2 plus 2 equals 6. Apparently Ginger Spice wants the money put into Watford 😉

I have already said what the better decision would have been. But his shot wasn't the quickest way of giving the ball back to Watford at all. His shot meant the ball went dead and had to be retrieved wasting some seconds. The worst would have been to get turned over or lose the ball to Watford...

If it had flew into the net though nobody would be complaining. It still helped wind the clock down. Fans are always the perfect judges from the stands.

Lampard has obviously called Burroughs and Howley back because: 1. They weren't really getting gametime. 2. So he can get a close up look at them in training and assess. 3. Boost the quality of the under 21's

He looks better than when he first joined. £1.6m is Chicken feed.

He should have passed to Bassette so Bassette could run it into the corner flag and wind the clock down.

Not so impressive on the games v minutes though.

The form book suggests a home win, but this is the Championship where the form book means nothing. Exhibit A: Sheffield Utd 0 v 3 Hull

Most fans are clueless around what it takes to get a transfer home. For me it is about getting the right person in at the right price. This window if we get no one in, yes it will be disappointing, but not a disaster. I never expected more than a signing or perhaps plus one loan. But neither...
