The team that finished last season would have seen the last two games out. That was our strength. The defence need to up their game. Losing 6 players out of our back 5 even though 3 at the end couldn't get a game. BNC, McNally and Doyle were first choice defenders. Their replacements are...

Surprised Howley was ahead of Burroughs at the Dons as he is more a midfielder. Burroughs looked good at Watford last season on his debut at LWB then dropped a couple of poor matches at RWB. Loans at his stage of development are crucial to see if he can cut it playing regularly at quite a high...

Godden is at that wait and see stage. He has been brilliant for us since signing and some people see a decline whilst others think this is just a blip in a great career for us. If, (a big if) he can stay clear of injury his experience is going to be invaluable this season no matter how many...

Thought it was much classier from Leeds fans when they chanted Whelan is a Leeds fan. Supports the player and disses the opposition. Not so much one greedy bastard for MacAllister.

O'Hare was brilliant before his injury and if he can come back as good our front line should be firing. Word of caution, that was a really bad injury and sometimes halts career progression. Fingers crossed as he is a great player and a brilliant personality. Get the sunglasses ready

Maybe Rose, but Thomas was behind McNally in the pecking order at Burnley. McNally loaned to a Championship side last season, Thomas to a L1 side. Burnley opted to sell Thomas to us for 2million. Apparently, they wanted 4 million for McNally which we deemed too much. Burnley kept him as they...

Where is God I'M On Crack?

MR rarely annoys me and I get he has often had a limited squad to choose from in previous seasons but, he always seems to throw away our chances in the cups. This cup we often go out early playing seriously weakened teams and even in the FA Cup we underestimated Wrexham. Obviously, we have to...

Don't think the defence is sorted yet and hope its just that they need time to gel. Our left flank was exposed all match. Eccles was playing out of position and along with Fadz looked our best defender. Thomas looked great but made the mistake for the goal which turned the match. Our defence was...

Oggy nailed it. If he won't sign, we have to sell him and try to realise the highest figure possible. That means a Prem or Championship club if Hamer will move. Oggy said a player running down his contract is no good to us as they have that will I get injured thing in the back of their mind...

Because of our Wembley appearance and the late arrival of the signings we again are behind a good few of the other clubs in playing competitive friendlies. Exeter for example had played 8 to our 5 as pointed out by MR. The manager said we were not ready and our defensive lapses showed that...

On Sky, they showed him holding his leg before he went off

Like everyone else I thought Thomas looked really good but, he let Vardy get ahead of him for his chance and was culpable for their first goal which changed the match. Must do better in these crucial moments. They got to the line too often down our left, McAteer had acres of space and their best...

The big questions will be are Thomas, Lab, Binks and Milan better than Doyle, McNally and BNC? Are Simms and Wright better than Yok? Will Hamer stay? Will Wilson have another brilliant year and can Fadz pull another great year out of the hat on ageing legs? Big shoes to fill. No doubt, more...

And Big Ron didn't have a clue what he was doing

Forest paid 1.25 million for him. I would imagine they want their money back. Adi and Lawrence can improve him even further. Looked as if he was enjoying himself last season even when he was out of the team. Would take him on a permanent and £1.5 million would be about right. Depends if the...

Leeds are the only team of the three relegated that have a manager with a proven track record in this division. Leicester's manager failed in his previous managerial job and Southampton's manager has never won promotion from any league despite playing attractive football. Logic dictates the...

Think with the Vik sale we have been able to follow a policy of buying and developing rather than loaning players, developing them and seeing them go on to better things (see Maatsen). McNally is a case in point. Appears we wanted to buy him and was quoted a daft figure. Burnley feel he has...

Did we nick him, or was it Leicester cutting their wages with relegation? Just wondering. Without any inside knowledge, I would be surprised if Shea didn't have a major input.

Going to take a while to gel with so many new players. Can Fadz and Wilson have great seasons again? Are our new defenders as good as the ones we have lost? If we lose Gus, it will be more difficult. Will O'Hare come back firing? Can the new strikers do the business? I'm going for playoffs...
