    Yes we would need another keeper but there seems to be an expectation that we would have to pay north of £10 million for Rushworth. I think we could get a decent reserve keeper for a lot less than that and spend the saving on other positions. I agree that, in an ideal world, we would like...

    I don’t disagree about Rushworth being a bit better but I don’t think there is much in it and I expect Dovin, being younger, to continue developing. I still think we can spend the money better elsewhere, which was really my point.

    I can’t see Dovin being happy on the bench, especially as reserve goalkeepers rarely play. If Dovin comes back from injury as the player he was before then I’m happy with him as our first choice. I think the money could be better spent on strengthening other positions.

    The run of 7 to christmas

    Always important to look at the gaps. Only 15 games in and we are already 24 points clear of The Blades in the final relegation place. Our goal difference is 42 better than theirs! 😆

    EMC

    If he does miss a game or two we might play Haji on the left and Simms in the middle, with BTA continuing at 10. I'd be happy with that.

    I'm more worried about the fact that his right hand has come off: 😳

    I was a bit disappointed with MR’s post-match comments, which for me didn’t chime with the reasoned observations he usually gave when he was our manager. I guess the manner of his departure was the driver behind it. For a more balanced view see Sky Sports: 😊

    We found a different way to win today, with a gritty rather than a spectacular performance. That's what you need sometimes. We won, away from home, to the second-placed team who have a very tight defence and have been scoring for fun recently. Well done lads!

    He deserves some starts now. Perhaps he will get some if EM-C is out for a while as Haji can revert to playing on the left.

    True but it's still potentially serious. The tongue can fall to the back of the throat and black the airway. Anyway he's recovering consciousness now which is great. He may have concussion, so perhaps it is as well we have the international break coming up.

    Cameron Burgess of Swansea is now on a hat-trick against Ipswich. Unfortunately for him he has scored two own goals 🤣

    Should Robins get a Song from the SBA at Stoke?

    This ⬆️ He is and always will be a club legend and he deserves our appreciation and respect. But Lampard’s our manager now and I want us to thump Stoke today, so let’s not overdo it. I would be delighted if Stoke finish as runners-up to us at the end of the season. I thought that we...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    Does anyone know how much it costs to bribe a member of Parliament to smooth the passage of a private member's bill through Parliament? I am in the shameful position of sharing a birthday (month and day, not year) with Mr Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. I need to change it asap, for I am finding...
