Decent subs bench, that... even if things don't go well, we easily have the ability to change things around quickly

Might be in a minority, but I was not worried by Sheaf leaving as I think Eccles is a very capable player. However, not getting a forward (like Boving) who can cover both wings well is going to hurt us till January I think. If EMC and Saka are injured at the same time we will have to change...

Not come across this before - I was there too, only game I went to that year (was only 10). Remember a Leicester fan trying to attack the West terrace... he ended up with a broken arm.

We were linked with that defensive midfielder from Luton, Lamine Fanne, a few weeks ago. Wonder if Frank is still interested?

Quite amused by people saying Woolfenden isn't really an upgrade etc. Simple question: would he better for us than Binks, the player he would be a direct replacement for? Almost certainly yes. I will be pleased if we do get him.

2nd half disappointing. It is easy to forget how well we played in the 1st. Overall, very pleased with start to the season (set piece defending aside).

Wasn't at the game, but watching YouTube vids it seemed that lots of our fans were too shocked to celebrate the goals eventually... Surely we don't score goals as good as Torp's second, do we?!

I keep looking at the live championship table and it can't keep up with our goals :)

Blimey... what a blinder Doug and his team have played this window :) An incredible 20th anniversary this is, makes all the venting about lack of transfers seem a bit silly now!

Key thing in Lampard's eyes is probably that he was forced into a formation change last year, but if we get this guy in that will not happen this season.

Prefer Bodie and Doyle from The Professionals (one for the older posters on here!)

He also deserves credit for winning the free kick which lead to the 1st, with some quick footwork.

Well said. They would have booted Saka or Raphael all over the place.

This may go down as one of the most classic Bi-Polar match threads of all time :) Oh, the game itself is quite entertaining too!!

This idea that KKH was a waste of a signing if MVE stays is hilarious... As if Lampard would not have realised that there was a chance MVE might not go! Complete tosh. The real risk was last season when we had only Lati (gulp) as genuine back up if MVE got injured.

Think Saka's close control etc. means he is particularly useful in home games when the opposition often sit back. But Rapha has the potential to be useful for us in away games (especially in the 2nd half against tired legs) where we are under the cosh and there is more space for him to operate...

The original post is one of the most sensible I have read for ages. Did chuckle at 'nit bits coming out of the club' mind you :)

Left back in U 21s

Wonder if that player we were linked with (Lamine Fanne) will feature for them tonight... He has got a long time left on his contract, so I would be surprised if we went in for him (ie not best value for money)

Wilson KKH Perry Bidwell Batanwi Rapha Allen (C) Andrews Brau Simms Obikwu That team will never happen in a million years, but it's what I would go with :)
