Some very tough fixtures to come, pax. Anything from the next 4 games would be a bonus.

It simply cannot hurt loan players as much with struggling sides, and those that may well end up relegated especially. For a contracted player they want to play at the highest level and must wonder if their future is secure if they go down. For players like Murphy, they just go back to their...

I like Holloway. Bit of a mixed bag with him though. Some success and some failures.

Yay!! I was so depressed. Now I have found out Ricketts is out of contract, I feel I have won the lottery!!!

Not sure. God knows if he is any good or not. You have to dismiss Celtic, because anyone would be expected to have a very good win percentage there. You have to dismiss Bolton because they are a basket case. No idea on him to be honest.

Would love to get Jack Stephens back for another season. I like his calmness and he has good ball retention and he can also play anywhere across the back four.

Very good point. How many times have we tested any keeper lately? Can only think of Alnwick at Peterborough. Most games of late the keeper doesn't even have a save to make.

If the best manager we have had in a while gives us 11 points clear of 7th to 8 points behind 6th, then that surely just shows us how crap all our managers have been. Doesn't point to anything positive about TM. What are we trying to say about him, that he is just slightly not as bad as the...

I do love his interviews, but saying the next player who doesn't smash a penalty will be immediately subbed is very childish and rather unprofessional. Maybe the pressure is just getting to him.

Yes agree, but if the opposition know you are going to smash every penalty it allows the keeper to second guess. Most penalty takers vary their style occasionally (changing corners, hitting the ball low or high).

But does Mowbray know our system? I am not convinced. :)

You also have to look at that initial form and accept that Armstrong was a complete unknown to opponents. It took a while teams to learn how to play against him, but they gradually crowded him out and denied him space. Of course he is good enough to still be able to score with regularity, as...

Yep about right. I think we will almost certainly lose the next 4, Gillingham, Wigan, Millwall and Bradford and then will get a win out of Sheff Utd and Oldham and Doncaster. My guess is Sheff Utd. Think we owe them one and will be up for that match.

Flatters to deceive unfortunately. He's like a Kinder Surprise. You get one, think it looks great, are all excited about opening it, but when you look inside there's not a lot there.

Oh my God! I've always wanted one of those.

Just cannot see us getting anywhere near 10th for sure. Really think now might be the time to give some youth players some game time. We're losing with our first team. Might just as well lose with a team that includes our academy. Tell them no pressure on them this season and for them to be...

Then we have Millwall and Bradford. Couldn't be any tougher.
