If we maintain our position to January we will be in a good position to bring in much better level of PL loans than previously, and given that we have a number of loans still to use I suspect that will be the favoured route over permanent signings. As pointed out the January window is...

Anyone able to work out our average if we exclude the Northampton & St Andrews years?

I'm not convinced. I suspect the flashpoints would simply move to the bridge over the canal and down by the canal side after that. The main problem is the lack of transport to and from the ground. I remember going to Pride Park a while back where they laid on free buses to and from the station...

David Icke 😱

As an ex manager do you think MR will be linked with the job?

I wonder if Godden had been fit at the start of the season if the preferred front 2 at that point might have been Godden & Waghorn. Obviously Gyokeres got his chance instead and has taken it to the degree that it is now impossible to not see him as a guaranteed starter.

Can't wait to hear the latest 'as it stands' table on Saturday

Didn't know about the Forest game. I was in attendance though, and from what I remember I didnt see much trouble other than some Bedworth ex miners looking to settle some old scores. The 1981 Birmingham cup game was altogether different with fighting everywhere you turned, I was 16 at the time...

There was loads of trouble in the night game just after McSheffrey left us to join them. A long time ago I know but when we played them in the cup at HR in 1981 there was a record amount of arrests at a Cov game, around about 150.

The bumped thread on the GMK days has brought to mind the invasion of Hull City wums from those days - something like Dutch Moutain Dog I think, who referenced our away support there of 399 into every post he made. At least there'll be more there this time round!

Marcus Hall actually had a pretty decent 'assists' record. Dabo is fantastic at interchanging passes with our midfielders and beating his man to get in position to cross, but he does seem to lack that killer final ball. I tend to agree with FP that at times he would be better taking the ball on...

We should be beating Hull, but that doesn't necessarily equate to us definitely doing so. Our confidence will be knocked by the last few games, while we have struggled a little away from home regardless of the last few results. Even in our League 1 winning year we failed to beat Bolton's youth...

I don't think it confirms anything. The angle of the slide isn't perfect for starters, whereby it is impossible to judge exactly where Godden was in relation to Davies who was defending more centrally. I'm not even sure Godden is definitively in front of the defender near him facing square on...

The trouble was that Gyokeres had just been giving the ref a mouthful after a previous foul by the half way line. It shouldn't affect a ref but I bet inside he wasn't minded to give much Gyokeres way after that.

There are a full quota of 24 teams in Leagues 1 and 2 so I don't see how they can be shoehorned into the league. Given their failure to play for the last 3 seasons it would probably be fair to demote them for each of those seasons rather than make them start at the bottom of the pyramid, so...

Not that I disagree with you but I imagine Barnsley thought the same last season. If we don't go up and lose the likes of O'Hare, Hamer and Gyokeres things could get difficult, but if it is MR still at the helm then I tend to share your optimism.

Got a feeling this will be a drab game, 0-0 or 1-0 to either side. Just hope it goes our way.

By the terms you set out, it's only missing out if we had agreed to play him ahead of O'Hare. Just because Paterson had a good game against Cardiff I'm glad we didn't take that option. I'm even happier that in the Summer 'Cov lad' love in many had on here, that we didn't sign James Collins either.

Thought Dabo was much the more effective on the left and more defensively able too. In the first half Kane was constantly being caught out positionally as Blackburn looked to play Nyambe in behind him. He looked really uncomfortable on the left, whereas Dabo is the more skilful, more adept on...

Remember him playing in the 3-0 opening day win at Arsenal. Thought we had a potential star at that point and seem to remember him being talked him up on MOTD too. He must have been on cloud 9 at that point. Instead he only played a couple more games though and that was it. Think he came to us...
