    Walker to pompey

    I wouldn't expect anyone else in before deadline day, but then who knows? There might be the odd PL loan on offer, a Derby freebie or Patterson angling a move from Swansea. Plenty for the rumour junkies to get excited about!

    QPR score

    You are kind of right.We had the better of the first half but didn't capatalise and score. The second half started more evenly but the game was ultimately decided by substitutions. On the hour Gyokeres & Waghorn were replaced by Godden & Walker who struggled to have any impact & from then on QPR...

    Walker to pompey

    Letting Walker go without bringing in a replacement seems a risky strategy. A repeat of last season where injuries left us with a half fit Biamou as our only forward option could leave us screwed.

    Derby points deduction

    I struggle a bit with the Middlesbrough claim. They would have still had to beat 3 other teams, all of whom had been better through the season. They were no shoe in to go up. Wycombe perhaps have more of a case, but even then their argument should be more with the EFL than Derby, given it was...

    Top 6 predictions half way point

    Nearly everyone believing Blackburn are the real thing by the looks of it. A lot of questions around them though. Will Brereton still be with them after January? Will Mowbray defy his career pattern of managing teams that fade away? They obviously have a decent chance because of the position...

    Match Thread Peterborough away

    Mark Draper was a Notts player, and quite a legendary one too. I met Colin Slater once so I know who he was and the esteem in which he was held by Notts supporters. I'm actually more surprised a Notts fan wouldn't know the difference between the two rather than by Clive Eakin's confusion!

    Match Thread Peterborough away

    Was slightly embarrassing when he gave his in game eulogy to the BBC Nottingham football reporter, Colin Draper. All well and good but his name was actually Colin Slater!

    Match Thread Peterborough away

    If I remember right their defenders looked a bit slow and ponderous at our place so really would prefer we start with Gyokeres today, who is our most mobile forward.

    Last week excepted Dabo has not been too bad at LWB. Would obviously be better if he was naturally left footed but still rather he face Dembele than Shipley.

    January Transfer Window

    Only if he's better than Rose/ McFadzean/ Hyam, Clarke-Salter

    Championship 21/22

    Boro and Stoke could be in the scenario Villa and Derby were a couple of seasons ago where they gambled that getting in the PL would eliminate the likelihood of any sanctions. It obviously worked for Villa but not for Derby! Both Boro and Stoke have owners that will stick with them though.

    Teams you have an irrational liking for

    To a degree, but still an amazing achievement to win the cup only about a dozen years after entering the league. They also had some good players and wouldn't have just made it through gamesmanship and physicality alone.

    Loan Watch

    Confidence and self belief is a huge factor in a players career and development. If matched with natural ability, athleticism and a hunger to improve you have the template for the perfect professional footballer. Human nature is such however that self belief is probably the hardest of those...

    In one game! Prior to that Dabo had looked quite comfortable on the left. Why move Kane when he is one of our most dangerous outlets on the right, when the result is that we end up weaker in 2 positions rather than just one?

    Loan Watch

    Could be a decent move for him. At the moment he seems as far as ever from making it with us and really needs to kick start his career and live up to some of the promise he has shown intermittently here.

    Teams you have an irrational liking for

    Notts County because my Dad supported them - also watched them a few times over the years. Dislike Forest though, more than Villa or Leicester. Polar opposites politically but for different reasons I also have a soft spot for both Legia Warsaw and St Pauli.

    Kane cannot play left back anymore than Da Costa can. He was rubbish when he played there earlier in the season.

    Kane was worse than Dabo when he played left back earlier in the season. Don't see the point in weakening us at both RWB & LWB, but hopefully Maatsen can play and we won't be weak at all. I wouldn't be worried about Dabo facing Dembele either as he is a completely different player to Ebosele...
