Sixes and sevens for me. Thought Eccles was our best player. Probably a game too far for the internationals. Thomas is adding consistency and let’s not forget Van Ewijk is doing a job out of position

One of those days. Preston and Norwich lost. As you were.

Stay calm! Long way to go

Good point. I don’t think you can underestimate Palmers influence in their upturn in fortune. He’s been brilliant since the Sheff Weds incident.

When you look at what we were left with at the end of last season the rebuilding of the defence in its entirety has to be applauded. Kitching for me looks like a steal. He and Thomas could be the next Peake and Kilcline or Babb and Atherton. He’ll be a premier league regular in time - hopefully...

I mean, let’s not get carried away. Simms has started hitting the back of the net - fantastic. But his first touch is still poor. You’re putting him and Wright ahead of, just as a few examples, Dublin and Huckerby, Keane and Rousell.

Exactly. He has a role but it’s just as squad depth.

Looking at L1 it looks like we’ve got another good one in EMC

I’m not trying to defend anything. Those were just the facts at the time.

I’d extend the year. Dasilva was an odd signing - always think it’s weird to sign defenders based on how they attack.

The facts are early season Simms was dreadful and Wright was slightly better. They’re both playing really well now. That doesn’t mean pointing out they were playing poorly early on was wrong.

We haven’t. But you do have to bear in mind that we’re fishing in a different pool. You’ve still got to get it right but when you can pay a few million it does make things easier.

Time to start serious contract talks with Bidwell.

We’re scoring lots of goals. Means always have a chance

Some others to throw in that have been extremely enjoyable. Regis v Spurs on Boxing Day Whoever got the winner in the 5-4 Rumbelows cup win v Forest Mick Quinn v Villa on Boxing Day Boateng v Villa Paul Williams away at Spurs (the great escape) Robbie Keane v spurs Hamer v Luton There are loads...

We exist in a different world than the last few years. A selection of things we now have or do that were pipedreams in the L1 and 2 days - 1) Pay transfer fees 2) Retain good players. 3) Have become the big club in a lot of transfer dealings. 4) Have an expectation of winning. 5) Play really...

Just keep playing your strongest team.

Our best chance of winning. Utd can be flaky. Huge ask though but we’ve got zero to lose.

I’ve never understood the recent de-valuing of it shepherded in by the likes of Boreinho and his b teams. Apart from anything else it can be a fantastic catalyst for the league.

I don’t see anyone with a high enough profile to be targeted. O’Hare will be off but we already have Mason-Clark coming in. Possibly Kitching. I think we’ll add 3-4 more and it will be a really strong squad.
