Ngandu only a sub, and now behind Howley as a midfielder. Does that mean he is not going to make it?

Three thoughts from abroad For a bloke who cost £750k (I believe) when he was playing for Peterborough Reseves, we have had very good return on our investment in Godden over 3 years I still remain very dubious that Jones will ever make it at this or any level, as I think he is just too...

Time to give up on 3 at the back? 4 with a holding man (Sheaf?) in front. Maybe neither of the full backs are good enough for that.

We are forever 'George and John's Sky Blue Army'

Now remind me when was the last time a youth player gained a regular first team place. The answer is Bayliss, four seasons ago. So no we don't bring players through. We develop potential then flog them before people realise they are not quite good enough - see Thomas, Stevenson, Bayliss...

oops time to get to the optician. That is twice lately I've struggled to see players on the otherside of the paitch

Kanes's sweet little curve ball down to line to Vik that set up his charge into the box and a penalty againt Bristol has never had the acknowledgement it deserved

Salako was my first hought

10th or thereabouts. We have gained 6 points from three late goals - the moves in advance for each being max 20 secs each, so one minute of football in 180 minutes each at the very end of the game. Two came from poor clearances one from a deflection*. It is tiny margins as always that have...

I was expecting a Bakayoko own goal

Football would be a lot better if every club was run in the way Ashley ran Newcastle - i.e within its means and with no silly money. Sadly that ship has sailed, and the reality is that a small number of clubs have finance that places them on a different planet. The owners of Man City etc have...

Minor but pleasing edit....

why no kelly or Godden? Don't tell me Kelly is injured again.

There seems to be a difference of opinion on who hit the sumptuous pass to Vik for the 4th goal - most say Sheaf. But others say Godden had a hand in three goals and as he had no role in the third that I can see, it assumes it was him who hit the pass for the 4th. Hard to see on the pc screen...

To say the least, his personal negotiating position is quite strong right now. He would get a new job in a trice were he to leave. That negotiating position could be useful in January or more likely next summer, when it comes to acquisitions But before we get too excited - just look where...

My predictions are only very occaisionaly correct... So, I suspect we will lose to Luton and scrape a 1-1 draw with Fulham. We might be saved by the woeful Luton defence.

6 points off = 11 now, and that would place us notionally around 13th & 14th. Comparing the like for like games is the best way to look at it imho.

Reminds me of McGoldrick at his best. In the area an absolute bugger for the defenders to get the ball off, and always likely to get a shot away.

Contracts can always be bought out. It is the value that is important. I have long asumed that Robins is on a comparatively good wedge with bonuses on top. Otherwise why put up with the whole SISU / ground rubbish. The higher we go, the less applicable that is, though. These days you don't...
