Is Sargent away with the USA. Lets hope so.

Whisper it. I feel we missed Sheaf at set pieces. Ah well.

Assume his ongoing injury problems are worse than we thought. Hope he passes the medical. At his best (before the injuries), Sheaf was without a doubt one of the best midfielders in this division. My only beef with him (like Grimes) is his lack of goal scoring threat. Grimes has looked a...

Picking on people because they have not coached at an elite level is unfair. It's like saying only people from Eton can run the country. The staff in the club will know if they are good enough. There are a lot of coaches who have worked at a high level who have never achieved anything when...

Well, best start we have had for a while but, way too early to come to any long-term conclusions. The positives, (if we don't lose anybody crucial before the window closes), is the team know each other really well. Rushworth, Brau and KKH still looking to get up to speed. Years ago you would go...

I said before the match that the conditions may play against us. Both sides were poor with the wind largely behind them. Both goalies were hitting the ball out from long kicks, and players overhitting passes. I know it sounds counter intuitive but, the ball holding up against the wind was an...

Milan missed an equally good chance.

Conditions. Horrible wind.

£2 million is a joke price. If true I would buy him, give him a lump sum and keep his wages within our limits. He is not the player he was before his injury but still a top Championship player.

Just read that statistics driven Liverpool have for some time discounted XG as only having a very narrow significance and misses other important factors. Every Championship game is a potential banana skin, as lady luck sometimes intervenes. That said, we should win unless the weather and bad...

No chance Eccles going out. One of our top minutes performers in the last three seasons. Lets hope the injury is not too serious. Allen was poor against Millwall. He performs less well against physical teams. Unlikely we can afford to replace him, so he will be here I feel for this one last...

Asante was pants against Milwall. Haji, JDS, Rudoni and Torp all looked class when they came on. BTA was on longer so did not have the advantage of playing against a tiring opposition. However, Millwall are the type of team that did not give us and time on the ball and were tackling fiercely...

A card every other game can be concerning if repeated in the long run whomever it is. Kitch's yellow against Milwall was necessary, against QPR daft. Our CBs are light after our first choice two.

The players who were not first choice did nothing to say put me in the team. KKH was terrible but I am sure he just had an off day. Rapha and Andrews were prime Ayari. Possibly good players for the future. Allen along with those two and BTA were muscled off the ball every time. Brau is a long...

I really hope we don't sell the club to an apparently rich joker. See Blackburn, Hull and Sheff Wed etc. Think King may want promotion and to sell us at a large profit. We are suddenly a very attractive proposition. Perhaps Wolverine or Iron Man will be interested?

I don't think Simms is as bad as people make out. I don't know why people gang up on him. I get the frustration that he should really be bossing CBs and scoring more with his feet. He gets some good headed goals. People have shorter attention spans and seem to forget the longer term. Simms is...

If Sunderland can have a gourmet restaurant why can't we? The food is very mediocre.

Rudoni so many potential songs as I have said before. Rudi, Rudi Rudi ah ah etc Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs. Rudoni superstar how many goals have you scored so far to Jesus Christ Superstar and my favourite to the Clash Rudi Cant Fail: We are rude and reckless, we all drink brews for breakfast, we...

JDS 3 for only having Dembele in his pocket until he went off and virtually never giving the ball away. 3 for our rubbish defence for conceding a goal when we had lost interest. 3 for our attack that can't score goals and all need to be replaced.

As a critic of King when I thought he had got rid of Adi, then Mark and put Lampard in as a "Hollywood appointment", I think if anyone can crack it he will. He has turned me from a critic to a fan and I am a cynical bugger by nature. Depends on how he has got the money to buy the CBS and if...
