    Wonderful goal by Gyo, but our defending at times has been very suspect. Lucky to be level as I thought their disallowed goal was good. Gyo looks dangerous going forward, but we need Godden to be on par with him as well. Sheaf does not look very comfortable to me and I think Allen should be...

    Why our start is so important

    Let's not look too far ahead, stay humble, hungry, focused and take it 1 match at a time. A bit cliched i know, but that's the only way i'd appeoach things if I was MR or a player on the team. It's been a great start, but we've got a long way to go and need to maintain this pace all rhe way...

    Match Thread Cardiff - Home - wednesday the 15th

    Silly red card to pick up right at the end of an an otherwise brilliant game. Not too sure about Kane yet. Maybe play Rose in a 4 man backline?

    Match Thread Cardiff - Home - wednesday the 15th

    Considering Cardiff have 3 players over 6'3", i'm not sure if we should at start Allen over Sheaf. Maybe he could be an impact sub when their players tire.

    Relegation odds

    Let's not get carried away. Enjoy the process and the fruits of our labour will be well worth the effort. We had a tough set of fixtures to start last season and this season has been comparatively easier. So we'll need to factor that as well. But we're 1 year wiser and have looked very...

    Match Thread Boro' Match Thread

    Was unsure if dropping Sheaf for Allen was a smart move, but it was brilliant. Allen made the first goal and could have scored one in the first half. Boro could have scored from a couple of chances themselves and won the game. Moore, Dabo, Fadz, Allen, Hyam were great and the team overall played...

    Agree with pretty much everything. We need guile and nous at this level. It's almost as if QPR let us attack relentlessly (half expecting us not to convert our chances) and waiting for us to tire before going in for the kill.

    Match Thread QPR (A) Match Thread - 28th August - 3PM Kickoff

    2-0 flattered them. Our substitutions backfired and we should have scored from at least one of our earlier chances before they scored. Then we could have seen the game out. Anyway, we've dominated all our matches thus far and I hope we can finish in the top half this season. 1-2 key loans in Jan...

    Walker ducks. Gyokeres should not have been subbed

    If Gyo plays as a lone striker and we win a penalty, who would you want taking the kick?

    Think we should crowd the midfield and only play 1 striker up front in a 4-5-1 formation.

    Jodi jones

    No we need JJ for squad depth as part of first-team cover. Similarly anyone who consistently shines in the under 23s has to be rewarded with a shot at the first team.

    Waghorn.....

    Might need to give him some time to prove his worth. Gyo didn't look great the first few games last season either.

    QPR away

    This will be our toughest test thus far. They are unbeaten and will be at home as well. Smashed us 3-0 last season. I'd gladly take a point if offered now.

    Hyam

    Think he's generally done well and I'd like for us to extend him as others have suggested. What I liked about his display yesterday was that he helped drive several of the attacks forward in the second half and also played further upfield. His distribution was also pretty good.

    Simon Moore

    Still early days, but I'm encouraged by Moore's displays thus far. What I like is his ability to claim crosses and distribution through long kicks which go upfield and not out into touch. He seems to know when to play out from back and when to go long. I watched the pre-season friendly against...

    Squad Depth

    Wonder where Bright is in terms of fitness, confidence, morale etc. When his head is screwed on right, he's could be another useful option.

    Where's Max?

    I think we should bring back Max on reduced wages especially now that Walker is going to be out for awhile. Holds up play reasonably well, chips in with a few goals, bleeds Sky Blue and a known commodity.

    2 games into the season (although it's a very small sample size) I think we are miles better than last season. With 1 or 2 more loan signings we could really push for something more than mere survival. We just need to be more street smart in managing games, a little better in tracking back as...

    Waghorn or Godden are the only ones who should be allowed to take PKs.
