    I can see Fulham (if/when they go up) seeing Gyok as a stand in for Mitrovic and bidding 10m. Mark this message.

    Deserved an 8 maybe even a 9 for some of his play. Gave away a couple of needless free kicks in dangerous areas and a couple of poor pass selections cost him. He’s improved. If he carries on and develops the sloppiness out he’ll be a Prem player.

    Us scoring last minute equalisers almost feels like a win in the same way that conceding a last minute equaliser feels like a loss. Feels like a win today, obviously.

    Next year Season tickets

    I’d get one for me and my lad and daughter but they both do sports at school up here on Saturday and I’d miss games (5-10) a season when they are playing. Want to do my bit for the club. If they did the season ticket where if you couldn’t make it you could watch on iFollow anywhere then I’d...

    Ex Player Watch

    I know I’ve waffled before about this but there seems to be a lack of belief amongst our strikers and attacking mids. How many times do we see Allen or O’Hare make a pass when there’s an opening rather than have a shot? Stat-folk, is there anything to back this up? Self-belief is a huge...

    But I know that in fairness you’ve seen him play a few times. What’s the verdict (not being sarcastic here)

    Couple of times. Last time was v Wigan as a sub for half hour on TV. Looked awkward. There - honesty.

    Many / most young players don’t make it. Our tie in with Warwick University may show many advantages if we can make sure our younger players do some proper study rather than sit in their XBoxes when not training.

    Correction / apology. Hudlin is at University College Birmingham doing Sports and Fitness, not Brum Uni.

    Sorry. Have to laugh. What are you saying? Players can only be good if they’re expensive? O’Hare was free. McAllum peanuts. Bad players? Taking a risk on youth isn’t critical thinking from another dimension. Tell me I’m wrong again?

    And WRT Hudlin, my personal opinion is that because he’s chosen to remain at Brum Uni he’s not developed as quick as he otherwise would if he had out all his energy into football. My view - fair play to the lad. If his studies complete this summer then he has scope to concentrate on football...

    The key word is “young”. Not many youngsters are the finished article. They develop - some quicker than others. See Jamie Vardy for details. Bad player. Sorry - not one of your better posts.

    Pressing and running requires athleticism which, as many of us know declines as we hit 30. Also, wear and tear takes toll and injuries compound the issue. Walker might come good as a support poacher to Godden if he can get his head in the right space. Tavares might feature more next year. In...

    Blues protest vs Us

    On the subject of the Blues it seems like Barrington Patterson (one eye Baz from the doors of Cov in my youth) has passed. Looked very fit and healthy. Life is short guys.
