I think Rotherham may have stayed in it, although I do think Fleetwood were the team to watch. Would they do any better than Wycombe are now? Clubs that size just don't have the budgets required, nor the potential growth in the clubs to survive. Wycombe fans will enjoy this season because if...

It also reflects the fact that we’re probably going to have to play slightly differently than we did last season.

I think we’ll get a hiding from one of these teams. Probably Brentford or Blackburn. I’m praying for a win because a close mate of mine supports Brentford - I can’t be arsed for the stick.

Too early to judge, but I’ve gone with Hamer. If it was possible, I’d love to see Walsh play alongside him as that would offer perfect balance. Praying he doesn’t sign a contract for us to poach him in Jan or in the summer. Until we see Walsh in the Championship, it’s comparing apples and...

I’m usually positive, but I could certainly see a scenario where we come out with 0 points here. I would urge people to not panic if that were the case. Blackburn look very good, and they’ve just battered Derby 4-0. Bournemouth have just been relegated and have kept a lot of their players...

Definitely giving Giles too much credit here, there was about 2-3 good crossing opportunities squandered. Where we’ve not even cleared the near post. For me, the best cross I remember was actually from Allen, where Gooden had the beating of his defender (just) and their closer defender headed it...

Possibly, the likelihood is that we’ll go 2 upfront. If Allen doesn’t increase his output, it’d become harder to justify playing him after spending a few quid on Walker. Who I thought defending quite well from the front today.

Fair enough, there was at least the one cross where Gooden made a run and he wasn’t picked up and cross went nowhere near him. Less than 30% accuracy for cross (6/21) tells the story for me. In fairness to you, it can be a two way street. Their commentators did mention a few times that ‘it...

This season, what do you mean by ambitious exactly? I agree we will mid table, but I do think Barnsley will be thereabouts too because they’re a good outfit. They lost to an inform Luton team and a Reading team that’s on fire after going down to 10 men. With all due respect to the people...

Some harsh scores for Walker - he won a few aerial duals. Oakwell has been a tough place to come for a lot of teams in 2020. We didn’t create any meaningful chances in open play, I think that reflects on the midfielders and wingbacks for that.

Poor starts can flatter to deceive. When you got promoted in 2014/15 season (I think), you were bottom 3 (or thereabouts) in Xmas, and went up by the end of the season. Your manager did what he had to keep you up. Make you a difficult team to beat by pressing really hard, and not conceding...

What’s the implication of that exactly? Quicker recovery time? Less chance of repeating the injury?

This forum was buzzing when we announced Callum O’Hare as a signing - he’s a good player and has got what it takes to be one of the best in this league, eventually. Does it well on both sides of the football. As for Giles, we’ve all been pleasantly surprised with him this year as he only made a...

Comments like today will be frequent in games we don’t create much. Gooden is a hard worker, presses from the front, decent in the air considering his size. His bread and butter is working hard off the ball to get in goal scoring positions. We didn’t create enough chances, and hitting 6 out of...

His yellow card was stupid though - but he’s a great player.

Remember Portsmouth at home when he had a quiet game then popped up with the winner? That’s the kind of striker he is.

In games like today, it’s a harsh assessment. He’s a striker that needs service and he didn’t have any. He made a run similar to the one made v QPR but Giles put a flat ball to the near post and he didn’t pick him up. Ngl, too many people put their expectations too highly for this one...

Scored 6 in a row, you’d have to keep your best scorer on. Baka will get his chance.

Decent point for us. They’ve been good at home this year, and they pressed us really well. Pretty even game because both teams had half chances, but we pretty much cancelled one another out. Both teams will be fine this year. Looked at the stats, 6/21 successful crosses - that needs to be...

Offside, even so he can do better.
