My brother, just by chance, met an Antalyaspor on holiday around that time, they loved him over there. Nothing like a hat trick in your first game!

At least. If he has a good world cup off the back of a 20+ goal season we might be talking double that quite easily.

Terrific turn of pace over 6 yards for the first goal. I wish he had that much space to play off the last defender every week in the Championship! I've been a Wright fan since he hit the bar against Leicester in his first game, Desert Orchid in a field of blackpoll donkeys as we used to say! I...

I imagine that he hoped that he would have a better game! Some players don't respond well to being dropped after having a mare, he might be a bit deflated...

Wales online gave him 4/10 for the England match "A hapless bystander at times. Cut to ribbons by Gordon and Saka." Anyway, I hope it's not affected him whatever anyone else thinks of the performance.

He wasn't brought on when Davies went off though. I thought he had a share of the responsibility for England's 1st, being beaten far too easily and then he was responsible for the 2nd. He did pick it up in the second half but he got outclassed really.

Let's hope his experience against England and then getting dropped doesn't knock Jay's confidence.

Anyone would think that all the seasons from 1970-2017 were miserable from the opening paragraph!

I think those clauses are likely to be out of time now anyway, they weren't reported to be open ended. Two years maybe. Haji had one too for sure and there are probably/possibly others, the details of the deals weren't all disclosed but I suspect we at least tried to do it with all of the...

It was often the way over the years that our first 11 was a match for anyone, especially at home, but they didn't play many games together and we didn't have the depth of the big clubs.

No doubt. I don't think we'll increase the wage bill very much in Jan, there's probably room for another player just now.

Perhaps. It's all about cash and whether the comings and goings can be met. We'll still be paying for most of the current squad I should think, with some money coming in the other way. It seems silly but Sheff Wed are probably a wealthy club on paper, with the ground and the fanbase, but they...

Yes many do but there must have more CHs available across Europe. If they were only looking at the two in the Championship (one wasn't available anyway) then they haven't been doing their jobs - and I don't really buy that! I think we probably got a good deal on Woolfie, that being said.

It'll all come down to cashflow I expect. The way I see it, it was very telling in the summer that we didn't/couldn't get another centre half until somebody, Sheaf in the end, moved on. If the funds were there surely we'd have brought someone in earlier in the summer.

Very true! The parachutes will probably have more money Jan though

Big fan of both obviously!

I wonder if he'll move MVE on to raise funds. It would be a great shame with the way he's playing but he might just be tempted to "let it ride on lucky seven" if we're still up there

I believed for years that he'd wanted to go. It was just recently that I heard that he and Strachan had agreed to a new contract only for the board to sell him!

It'll come down to luck with injuries and whether we have the depth in the winter months.

Interesting that's he's brought Bidwell on in the last couple of games. JDS had a bit of a tough time defensively against Milwall and that was a shocking card he took yesterday for the late challenge. Also a poor cross that he put over the bar. The improvement has been good I think and he's a...
