Wow, what a signing this would be! However I've seen him linked with burnley only today and with his former bournemouth manager Eddie Howe in charge at Turf Moor, it seems a more likely destination...if the player is actually available!

Well in this hypothetical situation where are we in the league? Because if we're in the top 6, then he would not be sold, as promotion would come with an increased income far greater than Cody's value. If we're 15th, then clearly something won't be right and I'm sure Cody would fetch 1 million...

Still left promotion chasing Leeds for a armchair job at Newcastle, no thanks. Want an up and coming manager, who has ambition, not someone who is here to just earn a living!

I'd add Warnock to the 'us against them' school of management. He possibly gone too far though, joined Leeds, signed Diouf, along with Michael Brown and himself it could all be too much!

I understand what you're saying, Thorn seems like a nice bloke, but ultimately he failed. However I'm going to disagree and say football managers HAVE to be likeable (or not likeable as such but likeable to media), otherwise they won't get along with the players and coaching staff, nor will they...

I think we have one championship rb (Clarke) Christie isn't naturally a RB and as he gets older, and physically stronger (remember he is still just 19!) he will be a good centre half. The same can be said for Willis, but I'm sure he is younger again at like 17 maybe 18. What I will say is that...

Yeah i'm not saying we need another striker on loan? ha

Well yeah he'd be absolutely great to have back, but there's no way we'll get him back in League 1. As for Beavon, had one decent season, really not bothered by him.

Hussey is absolutely fine at left back, played well so far this season. If he gets injured Kilbane is experience in that position so I think we'll be okay, in fact I think Wood is even a decent left back as well!

eh? we're like 5 games into the season, if they're running on empty then I'm very worried. I doubt we'd get a loan striker in that's a better option that McDonald or Elliot, so whilst I think we could do with another striker I don't think we're desperate.

That's bullshit. Elliot was magnificent last night, he'll be great foil for Cody this year as well as popping up with a few himself. I don't feel we can get better on loan, maybe we can get another striker on loan, but I doubt he'll be better and warrant a starting place.

Ah come on, Baker and Edge have to start! Edge looks far more convincing than Malaga and against greater opposition. Can't drop Baker after that performance as well, he's had two great games in a few days and hopefully has set the tone for his season!

Yeah, I'm sorry, that is true. Well in that case may as well go for it then eh!

I don't suppose you know what Jennings was awarded then, because he was also answering post match questions and awarded a man of the match in one of the lounges after the game (I only went there because my old man had a box for the night and he was my lift home!).

Jennings for me as well, but I think Elliot and Barton will also be brilliant at this level! I went to the post match MOTM presentation in the behind the scenes bit and it actually went to Jennings last night. Slightly surprising, but he was quick to mention that he felt as though he still...

I never like the 'bar that' argument. If he hadn't have done that then he was still good in the first half, went on some good runs, and was always a huge threat to the birmingham defence. Unbarring that, it was an eye-catching first half display from the lad!

he didn't play well tonight, but his touch for their second goal was sublime, regardless of what anyone says

Clever player as well, streetwise if you like. Knew when to give King a dig and the right times to give his shirt a tug.

Murphy Christie (assume Clarke isn't fit) Edge Wood Hussey Jennings Barton Kilbane Baker Elliot McDonald No one needs resting at this stage of the season. Though I did think Barton looked a bit tired tonight, consider starting with McSheffrey in their ahead of him.

It was cramp and we wouldn't have taken him off as we'd used our 3 subs! Was superb, deserves to start saturday. Looks far more convincing than Malaga, and him and Wood could be excellent together. Good to see Christie back too, looks a lot more comfortable at RB than Brown has been in recent...
