You mentioned them in the same post so of course you were comparing them. The fans who were against Wise coming were wrong, but the one's reacting against Ireland are not. End of story.

It is nearly 10 years since Ireland was a decent player. He has done nothing since then. The comparison to Wise is ludicrous. Wise was a leader on the pitch who always gave his all & played consistently well at the top level for 15-20 years. Wise and even Doyle are exceptions, as most older...

Looks like JCH to me, who to be fair is usually fairly good defensively.

Burge - 6 Sterling - 7 Willis - 6 Hyam - 6 Brown - 5 Thomas - 6 Kelly - 6 Ogogo - 4 Bayliss - 4 JCH - 4 Chaplin - 4 Hiwula - 5 Brown loses a point for the petty unneccesary foul for the free kick they scored from - he always seems prone to that stupid kind of foul. Kelly played well enough...

Yes opposite wing to Thomas - I guess Bayliss would be more comfortable on the right.

Now Kelly has got a couple of games under his belt I think we have to go with the Doyle, Kelly & Bayliss combination in midfield that finished last season so well. Not sure they have started a game together yet this season.

Burge has been good this season but the mistake was a real howler. He had already made to bad decisions before that about coming off his line when he misread the flight of the ball which he got away with, so he should really have learnt from them and stayed on his line.

Let's hope Kelly really steps up & shows we can perform without Doyle.

Quietly confident?

Wasn't Darius Henderson an old head? That worked well!

Loved watching him play for us and was gutted when we sold him so soon after signing him. Of course we then went and got relegated too. One thing on the lack of celebration thing though - check out his celebration when he scored the winner for Leeds against us - the full somersault etc, so...

I remembered the 2nd coming from an awful pass from Brown that lost us possession, but to compound that I hadn't quite realised just how pathetic he was in giving up on chasing the goal scorer once he got the ball.

Surprised Brown is being marked so well. Yes he got forward a bit but he got caught out of position frequently. Don't know where he was for their first goal but it came from his side, and if I remember right their 2nd goal came from an extremely casual pass from him to lose us possession, from...

I think Stockley is a decent shout and could be a better fit with Chaplin than JCH. Hopefully we keep Thomas to the end of the season. I think Doyle is unlikely to be replaced until the end of the season, but a player I would look at to replace him either way would be Sam Finley at Accrington...

Stuart Pearce's debut was pretty impressive. If I remember right Bobby Gould pretty much put him straight in the team having signed him from non league Wealdstone. Anyhow we played QPR and I can still remember the gasp from the crowd when he made first tackle on the unfortunate QPR winger...

Burton looked a decent team to me & deserved their win. We struggled to get in the game. Don't understand why Hiwula wasn't subbed. That's two league games on the trot that he has been particularly poor but has still played the full 90 minutes. Burge - 8 Grimmer - 4 Willis - 6 Hyam - 6 Brown - 5...

But he grew up & went to school in Bedworth. His accent is a bit of a giveaway too.

Well not me by the sound of it. I was born away as my Dad was in the forces. Mother's family from Cov & father's from Nottingham. Until I was 20 I lived in Cov for 3 years & Rugby for 13 years, but because of family connections always regarded Cov as my home town. Looks like I was wrong :)
