    Maybe. But celebrating goals 5 and 6, scored late on, against a beaten side would be rather ostentatious. I think it would be a case of the futility of celebration in those circumstances. Rather like jumping around with glee upon scoring a consolation goal in the last minute whilst three...

    Because he would drag a mid-table side down into the bottom?

    Easy, that. Everyone played well but it was men against boys. If we'd wanted to, could have scored ten or more. Simms played really well apart from the finishing. One day I'm sure he will start banging them in; just loses composure at the critical point. For his best chance he booted it at...

    All going well at half-time. Freaks or bad mistakes aside, cannot see Oxford getting back into this game. Their goal was from a soft punt from outside the box, a big deflection and the sun in Wilson's eyes. Keeping the ball well and looking like we could score at will. Unsurprisingly, the...

    Call me old fashioned, but this Langstaff cove... Surely MR and his recruitment boffins have done their homework. If they think he will fit in, has enough pace, will step up, stats are good etc. and are willing to pay £x... then, as already established I know nothing and I trust them...

    I know absolutely nothing and have never pretended to do so. I'm just musing on a chat forum. I'm not covering any bases and I will never claim to have been right if one of the many I suggest goes, as that would be absurd. Just proffering an opinion on how radical 'being bold' might be...

    Great reading comprehension! I'm guessing you got A* Eng Lang GCSE. :)

    Just one more thought... If we do something radical, don't be surprised if there a temporary slump in form. Play offs at best this year, and that's almost a lottery. Bed a super-team in now and we could fly next season.

    Many possibles, some of whom could bring in a hefty sum. Not one of our three keepers are the best we could get. Could be one of those on top of Moore. Could be Bidders or JDS if we have Milan mk ii lined up. Could be Eccles or Sheaf if we have two CDM in sight. Could easily be Allen...

    I'd like to see Wilson given a chance at left back, now we are using a back four.

    I said at half time we needed to step up. We did. We were really twisting their melons for most of the 45. I'm no expert but the difference I saw was bringing Tats and Simms into the game more. Magnificent cross from Bidders for the third. For them. Jones is a special player on the right...

    I think we, are lucky to be level at half time. We are not playing too badly but Boro have been better and created lots of dangerous chances. Collins has pulled off a lot of good saves and I'd say he's keeping us in it. Our biggest issue is defence. We are all at sixes and sevens too often...

    Swansea goal

    Is there any reason why we cannot put players on the line for free kicks? So one tall player against each post? It's done for corners, why not free kicks?

    Shocking equaliser, why leave a hole in that wall? East Germany knew how to build a wall. If they wanted to get through that one they had to burrow underneath or throw themselves against it in some kind of vain martyrdom statement. Open letter to Mark Robins: Study the Berlin Wall, Mark...

    Swansea are keeping the ball mostly well and are having their moments. However we are the better side. Some lovely one-touch footy at times and we look dangerous. Allen and Sheaf having a faff for their goal. Palmer, Wright, Saka the pick of the bunch for us. Collins made a good save from a...

    Started slowly. Dominated possession and several good chances after the goal. Should have put another away diring that spell. Weds coming back into it in the last 10 minutes and hit an uncontested header high and wide. Need a second goal.
