Got to love football fans. Am sure many of those expressing confidence in us winning today have spent much of the week bemoaning the merits of Wilson, Norton-Cuffey, Panzo, Doyle, Allen, Palmer etc as not being good enough, even though they are all likely starters today. Let's hope that...

Are we seriously doing this again? Weren't West Brom supposed to be boycotting the last time we had tickets sold at this price? What happened to that? Even though the game was in the week before Christmas we still ended up with our biggest crowd of the season. If we want to compete in this...

It is an extremely common name in Zimbabwe.

There were no official recordings of away attendances back in the 60's and not much segregation either, so estimates of away support from then is very difficult to guage. I wasn't around myself in the Hill and early top flight years, but I know the club ran organised trains to away games until...

Davies seemed to have a bit about him, certainly in the lower leagues, and I thought he had the potential to be much better than his subsequent career has turned out.

The better players in the league below is definitely the way for a club like us to go in terms of permanent signings. Younger, hungrier players have much more upside than experienced players with bigger wage demands on their way down. The January window is always very hit and miss in terms of...

Just a couple of points: 1) I am amazed how Gyokeres hasn't had more bookings shouting at refs this season. The amount of times he is fouled where a foul is either not given or the defender not booked is beyond belief. Equally if he as much as lays a finger on a defender when tussling for the...

There is no link on mine to i follow at the moment but there is a message saying one will be available an hour before kick off.

Not sure that is quite the case, albeit I agree with your view on the motives of the investors. If he hadn't hit the ground running like he did he wouldn't have been sold at that point. Even when he was, it was deep into the Summer before he was sold. I remember him playing a pre season friendly...

So we actually took the lead!

Delighted he is here for the rest of the season. 18 games left to enjoy him playing in Sky Blue so lets hope he fills his boots and leaves us more memories to savour.

This feels like it could be a really long day. If we have set out a £25m tag it sounds like we are saying he's not for sale at this point. While Everton might be now putting it out that they are no longer interested, they might be doing so from a bargaining angle of their own hoping we will...

I agree on your value statement. In fact if he goes onto score another 10 goals this season his value might even increase in the Summer window. If we do sell though I'm not so keen on us rushing in to buy a replacement if MR thinks he can buy better in the Summer when options will be much...

Hope you weren't the guy that would open one of the gates at 2:50 to let some of the Bell Green lads in, about 1989 time. Ended badly though when instead of letting about 8 in as planned another 50+ opportunists followed and the guy got sacked on the spot.

True, but he still didn't play for them. Just slot in Cyrus Christie or Barry Quinn instead. Thinking of it now, have I missed anyone mentioning Richard Keogh?

Yes - he scored no goals in 13 games Probably recalled as he wasn't good enough to get a regular game in League 2. He is 7 foot though!

Setters was neither a right back or Irish :)

Yes Fadz didn't actually start that well for us. It wasn't only the Rotherham game but he was at the centre of a lot of errors initially. Looking back now, this was to be expected as it was his signing that led us to start playing it out from the back, even in tight situations, and obviously...

It is a start and a step in the right direction though. Since Fadz was injured our defence has undoubtedly been our weakest link.

Bang on, wish I could remember the names Black put forward as a fair few went onto have top careers. I'm sure Kevin Doyle was one of them though, before he signed for Reading. The Sherwood signing was plain ridiculous from the start. Shoehorning him into our team in turn, also helped sideline...
