Willis and Davies at the back, Kelly/Bayliss and Meyler in the middle. I don’t see any of them (bar maybe Kelly) being bullied. Doyle and Ogogo weren’t playing, and JCH was the biggest lightweight we had. Plus Meyler is more experienced than the latter two, and has a stronger pedigree. We...

Why would/have WBA changed their mind? I may have missed the outcome, but didn’t they sign two wingers today?

Edwards (or another winger). I appreciate we’ve signed Wakefield but that’s stil only two genuine wingers in the team. Whatever your view of their ability, we currently have four first team strikers, plus Ponti, plus any youngsters (e.g. Bremang).

Pretty good window overall, and it’ll be even better we sign one more before the morning. We also shouldn’t forget, despite the rumours, we haven’t lost anyone pivotal to the team such as Willis or Bayliss, or any first team regulars like Burge.

Any updates on this one? Is Wakefield instead or as well as Edwards? It’s exciting if it’s the latter.

Who doesn’t!

Bakayoko? Albeit he isn’t a target man. Although nor was JCH, he was just shit.

Sad to see him go from a sentimental perspective, but from a practical and football one it makes sense. He’s far down the pecking order, he’s not been good enough this year and he’s one of the higher earners. Absolutely wish him the best of luck and I really hope to see him back as a coach. One...

I’ve never been a fan of JCH and I don’t think he’ll be a loss. However, my slight worry is the lack of a physical striker if he does go. I wouldn’t call him a traditional target man as he doesn’t hold it up enough, but he does/did at least give us a different option from the bench. Granted...

Doyle hasn’t been starting games and I doubt Meyler has been signed to sit on the bench.

Good pedigree, so in theory would be a good addition. However if he was frozen out at Reading, how match fit will he be? And who’s place will he take? I assume Kelly’s?

Good news. I hadn’t heard of him before he joined he, and since he’s been with us he’s been anti climatic in relation to the hype when he signed. Every time I saw him he looked a weak link; off the pace and technically very poor. First game he looked good, but even JCH looks good one game a...

Assuming MR continues with his favoured 4-3-2-1 formation: Burge Sterling Willis Hyam Mason Bayliss Kelly Thomas Bright KE Bakayoko/Hiwula I haven’t completely given up on Chaplin, but he offers very very little during the game, especially when isolated up front. At least one of...

I wish, but we all know it’ll be JCH for Hiwula.

Chaplin offering nothing other than a poor first touch. Westbrooke looks very composed and more involved than others. Really impressed. Bright looks skillful as always, but a bit greedy on a few occasions. Idiots around me moaning about Kelly. Maybe he should lump it forward everytime to...

Can you pay on card when paying on the gate?

Ha! He can fend for himself if we suddenly get a 18k walk up!

Today is the day we are rewarded for our much improved football and the goals come. No reason why I believe it all clicks today other than optimism. 2-0, Hiwula, Thomas.

One of my mates is coming to watch some real football today (he’s a Man U “fan”). Can you pay on the gate?

As much as I don’t rate his overall game, Chaplin has scored in the last few games. I also believe Hiwula will find his shooting boots. Don’t get me wrong, I’d like us to sign another striker in a ideal world, but as we literally don’t have a left winger that should be the priority.
