He is, and they all have been in recent times. I always try to see what the reason may be for a drop off in performances or if a player isn't quite right. They're not 'shit' or whatever else they get called, it's just about finding out what is affecting their game. After watching them yesterday...

I didn't know he was out of contract. Interesting. A proven Championship player is always a good purchase in my eyes, even if just to see us through to (hopefully) promotion. Grimes was the perfect buy.

Do you think that sometimes Wright and BTA hinder each other? It's a discussion that was being had around me during the Sheff Utd game and i've been thinking about it since. I think early on it wasn't a problem when we had Rudoni in the 10 and BTA was covering injuries out wide. Thinking about...

I agree with this, i don't think we'll see too many additions, perhaps just a couple of good quality ones. The point about them not messing with the squad too much is a good one, because these are a good group of boys, who are very close knit and get on really well together. So whoever they...

Great result today. Good to see us going with an attacking formation from the off, showing no fear. I thought we were the better team first half. It was a lot more open 2nd half but they only really had a couple of half chances. Thought the back line were very good, another clean sheet...

No idea, i don't pay enough attention to them to know. The guys i was talking to said they are not fond of McGuinness and that Tanganga had been playing out of position, also that Wilder was stubborn with formation, Peck is his favourite and undroppable. There seems to be a lot of discontent...

According to their fans, he's playing him our of position.

I can't decide if i think it will be a cagey game, or both sides will go at it. Same as always for my hopes though, go to win and if we can't, then don't lose. If the worst happens, we still go into the break top, players get a chance to regroup, refresh and be ready for the next one.

True. Granted he didn't bring some of those players in over the summer, he can usually still get a tune out of teams. They are very much in the position we were in last season, low in confidence and needing a boost. I bet he shifts a few out in January and i've no doubt they will have a turn in...

Yeah, there was a definite change in feeling. They'd obviously been told to up the tempo. EMC going at them directly energised the crowd, which i think lifted the players in return. A sure domino effect and i said to my dad there's a goal coming. Same as you, i thought after the second we may...

Spot on. I said at the game, these are the types of games early last season, that we don't lift our heads and go on to lose. It is brilliant, to watch and to feel like this early on in the season for a change.

Yeah, there was a strange vibe about it. He did, massively. I suspect Eccles didn't have more than 45 in him, but i think we would've made the change regardless. Much more like ourselves for most parts of that second half, and exactly what we needed heading into Stoke.

Just in from the game. Thought their heads dropped a little in the first half after they scored. Almost as though they were feeling the occasion and the importance of wanting to bounce back from Wrexham. Second half a different story, as soon as we equalised their tales were up and it's as...

I honestly never knew that. Thought i'd seen players booked before after a phase of play has continued. I stand corrected. Annoying though as he would've walked for it.

Difficult night. It had to happen at some point, honestly i'm glad the defeat is out of the way, and i don't mind it came tonight as i'm hoping they will hate it, have a rocket up their ass and respond well against Sheff on Tuesday. With the 3 changes to the back line and how it's been obvious...

What a strange game. It felt like a little complacency set in there for a while, but a win is win, another 3 points on the board is all that matters. Last night shows going 2-0 up doesn't mean anything, we aren't going to bowl teams over every week, but again we got the job done. To do it...

Hopefully this is the case. Or at least have another target set up and ready to make a move early on.

Didn't he go on loan though? Unless there is a recall option and we plan to make an offer to buy.

A couple of weeks back he said there had already been agent talks about a winger. Nothing else since then.

I think when Rudoni comes back, his minutes will be managed anyway, due to the length of time out and the injury itself. It's a nice problem to have though for once. BTA can't be dropped with the form he is so i am guessing he will revert to one of the wings and either Tats or EMC will make...
