Just lately we have been parking the bus to considerably good effect. Could we see two teams parking the bus...That will make for an enjoyable evening (not). Has 0-0 written all over it

The one thing I like about the Dom Hyam sale is his personal story. Released by Reading iirc, joing us just as we dropped into League 2 and when we were very definetely on our uppers. Because of injuries to Willis, he had to play in the first games. Rises with us, and is now on the verge...

Was that a full year? Did the financial year coincide with the football year?

Five games and only two goals conceded. You should not get relegated on that form if it continues. Robins was forced into what was obvious to all that today notwithstanding the best back three is Doyle - MacFadz-Panzo. Big leaks of goals have ceased once Hyam went - (dons tin hat)

Sultana is utterly brainless

Wrong way round. Buyer thinks they might pick up a bargain, and our interest is in anew buyer above all else.

Time to max out on our investment. The defence was the problem last year, particularly in the air. If the conversation started at the beginning of the month, is it too optimistic to assume a good quality loan has been sorted out. MacFadz's days are numbered as well.

I have no inside info, but I suspect that the reappointment of MR coincided with two other related things - JS getting more involved after the relegation to L2 - at the expense of her boot boy Fisher. I think she has taken a more strategic view of the Club, obviously encouraged by MR's success...

Not me, I hasten to say...

1. It took SISU 12 years and a load of managers to work out how to run a football club. Just when they have sort of cracked it they move on.... 2. I suspect where we are is optimum SISU - mid-table Championship. The risk - reward in order to pursue Prem status is not in their mindset. I...

16th Side no better than last year, the league will be tougher than last year and the late goals will dry up

Viewed another way From League 1: (8) Wilson, Dabo, Hyam, Rose, MacFadz, Allen, Kelly,Godden (plus O'Hare see below) Converted from loans: (3) O'Hare, Sheaf, Gyokeres, Experienced Championship players out of favour at existing clubs: (5) Moore, Bidwell, Waghorn, Palmer (and Kane) Money: (1)...

Defences have got Big Vik's number in his second season so goals dry up. The continued inclusion of MacF means City leak aerial goals. The club slip close to the relegation zone by Xmas But a surge after Christmas pulls us clear largely due to good defence from Doyle and Panzo and the...

The defence as shown leaked a shitload of goals last season and would do so again, particularly against big bruiser c/f's

If Palmer is a target, it would appear our last three acquisitions have been Kane, Bidwell and Palmer. The theme appears to be players of Championship clubs, deemed as surplus or under-performing by their existing club. This is a change from previously, so when we acquired MacF, Allen, Marosi...

Of the three O'Hare is (I suspect) the most likley to still be here. The other two fill obvious slots and are more rounded players particularly Hamer. We know C O'H has flaws - in front of goal - and that might make other clubs higher up the League less keen on him. More fool them.

I thought Soupy Sam was JH's idea, but that he dispensed with it after Ian Gibson raked a crossfield ball strait to the feet of....Soupy Sam

I go for Tavares because of the pressure he was under - time and because the ball had to be worked across to his right foot - and then the skill in curling it in, at his age and status in the team. It was cold eyed. Shipley was spectacular but it was a bit of hit and hope.

1. Tavares 2. Shipley 3. Kane Would have included Vik's last against Fulham at home.

Grant is League 1 level
