Irregular crossings of the channel are a political and security matter, nothing to do with football. Let's keep it that way.

I dont like him but I am puzzled why they sacked the odious Wilder. There is a long way to go but after losing a playoff final stability is key and the board have gambled! Time will tell of that was a sensible calculation.

Not sure how you train footballing IQ

Was reading Peps comments in the media today after the Wolves match. He is very keen not to have an inflated squad with players who are not going to feature, as he feels it's bad for morale. I hope that sentiment might translate in to us being able to get Doyle on closer to our terms, equally...

In fairness to @Skybluedownunder Rafa did look a bit positionally shakey when he came on and slotted in on the left. He gave the ball away in dangerous areas at least once in a few mins. However, in Rafa's defence it's hard to get into the rhythm of the game when you come on so late and the...

I love how a win makes people glass half full. Had the game ended 3-2 Derby or even 3-3 the defensive situation and conceding 3 goals in a game would be under the microscope. Look at the 3rd Derby goal and the way one of our defenders heads the ball, not away, but towards the danger zone and a...

Looked a bit of a defensive liability for those seconds too!!

We can't turn down 8m for Bobby Thomas. If this was 1030pm on transfer deadline day your point is valid, but with 2 weeks to go 8m is great business and allows us to upgrade in that area of the pitch.

Week 1 have gone for bench boost so no big prices apart from Palmer, but lots of starters who are playing weaker teams at home in week 1.

Fair comment/challenge, and given there was only 0.5 between them in my ratings, I don't really have strong feelings about either of their performances.

He is a confidence player and needs consistent support from the fans to reach the levels he was at in 2023/2024 season. I am not sure given he has 2 goals in 2 matches that he can't go on a run now and I hope Lampard puts some faith in him for the next couple of games at least. BTA seems to be...

Wilson 6 - did nothing wrong KKH 6 - decent first start Thomas 6 - couple of poor passes from the back but solid Bidwell 6 - Not a CB and an accident waiting to happen againt better teams Brau 6.5 - balance and looks like he can deliver really well Allen 7 - full of running and did the basics...

Hope the fans turn out for what might be a far more enjoyable night of football than the weekends slight frustrations

Need a forward who thrives from crosses BTA is not that, not sure Hadji is either!

If he starts Sheaf it's because he thinks he is our best option for the role surely? 5 subs and a long season others will get their chance to shine.

We reached the FA cup semi and playoff final those runs alone are worth millions. I agree King is speculating knowing full well be have assests on our books that could balance the finances if we needed to.

We are three signings from being very useful. Need to create space with Collins, Bidwell and possibly Allen or Eccles or BTA, spme of who would command a decent sum. We could then bring in a ST, RAM and an experienced CB.

With confidence and on the top of their game, we have a strong set of forwards, but consistency has been lacking with them all.

Agree, need to keep him, but a loan wfor 6 months would make a lot of sense. Loan to league 1 or a European team and I think Bassette scores on a regular basis and that could be transformative for his development. Getting cameos for us is not the right situation for him.

We ideally need 30+ goals from Simms, Wright, BTA, it's possible but it's an area of the pitch I would like to see strengthened if we want to be in and around the top of the league table all season.
