I'm sure we were going to loan Henderson back the following season, and then their manager (was it Ricky Sbragia?) got sacked, and that was that.

I seem to recall we were linked with Dean Richards back in the day. Always liked him, so was disappointed it didn't happen.

Signings are exciting and all that, but since the late 2000s I've rarely heard of anyone we've signed, with the exception of the past-their-best crew (Kilbane, De Zeeuw, Ramage, Hunt, MAF, Yakubu, and the like) or Marlon King and Joe Cole. The rest are just names of random people who may or may...

I think we forget how young and inexperienced our team was at the start of the season. The vast majority of players playing at the highest level of their careers, learning to play against bigger, better athletes. And Sheaf more than played his part in keeping us up, at the same time as trying to...

The moment that stands out for me was one that was out of our hands, but not being able to play European football after winning the cup was a real disappointment; the money and gravitas that could have brought could have changed the direction of the club completely.

Accounts have now been submitted, transfer embargo lifted.

Must be hard as a player in that position, thinking that one day you might just get your chance playing in the Premier League because the club keep wanting you to stay / extending your contract.

That first throw-in puts some of the modern-day so-called long throws into perspective. And Gibson's (?) enthusiasm at the third goal going in was a joy to see. Lovely stuff.

I don't think anyone's mentioned Keith Houchen so far - he's a legend in my eyes just for that one glorious moment.

Can't believe he's only 27 tbh. Feels like a lifetime ago that he was here.

Why is Cat 1 academy experience essential when we're Cat 2? Or have we moved up to Cat 1?

I see that I'm the only one who's gone for midfield so far, but imho we're not exactly blessed there right now - O'Hare as the only performing CAM, so one injury away from having no-one we can rely on to play that role. And we have Kelly, Hamer, and Eccles as confirmed in central midfield...

I quite like Da Costa. I mean, he hasn't been great by any stretch of the imagination, but I really think there's a player in there somewhere. Whether that's a player good enough for the Championship is debatable. And as others have said, we have Burroughs and Eccles who've both got the...

Watching the build up was great fun - Killer taking the bride's garter off, the players being interviewed and giving honest answers, the comedy introduction of the squad. The last time I watched the build-up was probably 87 itself, so it brought back a lot of memories and emotions. Great stuff.

Get Walsh, get Patterson, and suddenly the box midfield could be plan A again.

This whole rumour appears to have been started by a phone shop posting a photo of Biamou to facebook.

Missed Mason, Drysdale, and Gyokeres. Annoyed at that.

We haven't really had a chance to see Godden and Walker as a proper partnership - the two or three games they played together, one or both were unfit. I genuinely think they'll be lethal together once they get chance to build a rapport.

I don't see the footballing benefit in keeping Jones - it's perhaps a morally correct decision based on his injuries, but football and morals don't exactly mix.

First match I haven't watched all season, and I miss this goalfest. Typical.
