I've listened to Back in the DHSS more times than I dare to count. Can't remember what album Joy Division Oven Gloves was from though, but I'm sure I have it on cassette somewhere.

McFadz with a kung-fu clearance. Have it.

Ayari is playing some superb balls through so far. Looks like he could be some player for us this season.

I've got an oven glove that looks like the one the steward is wearing.

Get in! Lati!!! Totally unmarked!

What a ball by Ayari. Unreal.

Wow, that was a chance. Did someone get something on that to get it away?

MvE and Lati look great together so far. Ayari starting to get into it the last 2 mins as well.

Lovely flick by Wright. He's done a couple of nice lay-offs so far.

Solid start from MvE, but that's several corners conceded in the first 6 mins. Gulp.

Nothing that's working

Fair point. I think I'll just assume the list was sorted by putting names in an old Quality Street tin and pulled out at random.

Maybe, but I've never seen Pele play and would probably still put him in the top 100 footballers of all time. We can be influenced by the expectation of others. If he's read that TH was our best player enough times, he could believe it without ever seeing it with his own eyes.

Putting aside the numerous lols that this list has caused me, there's clear recency bias. Pretty much our entire first team from last season is in there. It's just a bit silly. And there's players like Dennis Wise (our 36th best player ever, apparently), when he only played a handful of games...

Used to enjoy fivethirtyeight forecasts, but they laid off a number of staff and don't update the football side of it now. If anyone knows of a similar site then let me know.

Spoke to him at the Watford game and he said he was back in full training in 2 weeks, so I'd assume it's too soon for him yet

I keep repeating this point, and it will soon become moot, but at the moment Godden plays because he knows what the manager expects (plus his form, it should be added) Watch a game back and you'll see him pointing at who Wright or Simms should be tracking, or waving them up to press, or to...

Interesting, thanks. Every day's a school day. But not sure I like that rule really, as it probably only helps the 'bigger' countries.

I always thought a player could swap as long as he hadn't played a competitive game?

Agreed, we're usually very good at minimising space. In the past, when we've had a couple of games this open, MR has changed the formation or roles to tighten it up. I'm expecting him to give it another couple of games as it's a new group, but if it stays the same then I wouldn't be surprised if...
