Agreed but, Bristol were doing really well then got a lot of crucial injuries. When all their players are fit, I expect them to be thereabouts. Regarding the Boro match, I expect a repeat of Stoke in terms of approach. They have some very good players, but so do we. They won their last home...

Well I didn't start it. If posters make a claim that is disputable, then people will go for it. It is only opinions, often backed by facts, but it does not mean anyone is right. We all come on here for our two penny worth. Probably in my case, a little more than that. Unlike some people on here...

Everything I have read on here seems to have the assumption we have a magic money tree. The reason Hamer, O'Hare and McCallum are at a parachute club is because we could not afford their wage demands and signing on fees. Two were free transfers. Perhaps we do have £10 million to spend according...

Don't think we can afford his transfer fee or wages. Need to find another MVE or Tatsu for the prices we paid. Inflation means £3 to £4 million for a player from abroad with that potential. If we choose correctly, would make money even if they are not quite PL class.

Sheff U player of the year in the PL. Voted best player in the Championship last season. Destroyed us in both games last season. This year has been disrupted by bad management and injury.

Ipswich went down the road of buying all the best Championship players. Clearly, not a template to follow. They went for quantity over quality. That said, a PL side better than Sheff U should have bought Vic and Gus.

Absolutely agree, with the proviso that we are currently in the second tier and The PL has got exponentially better since 1980. His passing is exceptional, but in the PL passing between the lines gets way harder.

Gillespie brilliant. Jess described as the best player, at that time with the ball, but overall not great. Stein loved for his effort, heading ability and toughness, but again, more loved than was justified. Described by one journalist as a player who could not trap a bag of cement. Kevin...

Styles got sent off for them against us last season.

Both of those two had great youth careers and were seen as good signings at the time. Robins said Hillsner had brilliant skill and ability, but unfortunately, his undetected respiratory problems ruined his career. He played for Germany at U16 to U19 level. Kastaneer had a good pedigree and our...

One was a Southampton loan who couldn't play. Don't know about the others, just that their manager was saying the loss was down to missing players.

You would like the new Football Regulator. He was negotiating with a lawyer in a his previous financial life. The lawyer said something like you act as if you think I am too woke. David Kogan replied no I think you are a boring c**t.

Simms good. Tatsu got us back into it and played well. Eccles started poorly but got better and good movement and header for the crucial goal, when they looked strong at the back. Nearly scored with a couple of scrambled shots as well. EMC good control and their defender had his shirt off his...

The concern with the parachute clubs should be real, as they have squads that will become more important as Winter bites, heavier pitches, injuries poor form and suspensions come into play. That is why we need two quality players in January. The one game we lost was due to a suspension, illness...

Wonder if they have any other good players?

If HS2 or other trains are moving at speed past the ground, then the noise will be awful. Same for full speed inter city trains. Don't know how close they are? Go to the youth training ground, the Coventry to London train sounds intrusively loud.

I'm with Arsene Wenger (a proper football man) not some Johnny come lately expert. Wenger said if you build a new ground it puts the club out of top division contention until the money is paid off. That is what happened to Arsenal and many other clubs that built new grounds, as well as us.

That's what I would hope will happen. Bamford has no long term future or resale value. Assume he wanted big wages. Also supports the idea that Lampard does not have the absolute final say on signings, although perhaps he had a rethink as well.

I was just to the left of the goal at the front of the overflow at the covered end, when you look towards the pitch. H&S screwed all that.
