    Credit where it's due, they came for a point and got it. They're in a dire situation and slowly getting out of it. Their players were so committed, chasing everything, doubling up constantly, fighting for every ball. Imho they deserve some respect for that. And the Blackpool fans are probably...

    Bloke in Block 19 Hammering Murphy

    I heard so many people slagging Fortune and Kent off it was untrue. Strange how grown men can attend a football match and do that. Fortune held the ball up well, Kent showed flashes of genius and made a few mistakes, as young footballers will. Seems to me that some people just don't get that L1...

    Pressley in at Fleetwood!!

    My belief is that Pressley didn't like the unpredictable players. People with the League One equivalent of the X factor, the people who could skin a man and rattle one from 20-yards one minute then trip over their laces the next. He preferred the Steady Eddies, solid and unspectacular. Except...

    Would be interesting to have a second line on the graph indicating last season's performance so we can see how much better (or, gulp, worse) we are at various stages.

    Willo, if only for scoring v Spurs to keep us up for another year or two.

    Ryan Kent

    The counter-argument to that is that Lee Burge is truly awful, and Oggy has improved him to the point where he is now just a little below par. I don't pretend to know either way, just pointing out that it's difficult for someone outside of the team to truly know Oggy's ability as a coach. He...

    If it ends 2-2 that's 10 points from 5 games, with 18 goals across the teams. Would I have taken that at the start of the season? I think I probably would.

    Both centre backs on the scoresheet. How unusual.

    Oh. Silly me. To be fair, I used the search option for something earlier today and it bought back a thread from 2012 so I'm not sure it would have made much difference.

    Why is the game on Monday instead of today (or even tomorrow)? Not on TV as far as I know..?

    Lameiras...

    Skillful players can go one of two ways. They can either wither at the bully-boy tactics, or they can think 'you're only kicking me because I'm better than you'. They want to be kicked because it means they're getting under the other team's skin. That latter mindset is what sets apart the David...

    Chris Eagles?

    CWR also reported that the club had confirmed that they have absolutely no interest in signing him, and that the rumour is completely unfounded. So less of a Dennis Wise and more of an Alexi Lalas.
