    I read into it that a young oriental woman needed some fuel for her sports car. 😆

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    That is the model but, given that we are in with a good shout of promotion and looking at the riches on offer if we succeed, I'm sure DK will be happy to go down a different route in this window. Indeed, he already has by getting in two players on loan. By the way, that doesn't mean that I am...

    We've missed one there: cracking international striker. The figures speak for themselves. He has made 46 league appearances for Birmingham over last season and this and scored 3 goals. :LOL:

    Sound business sense 👍 I wonder if we have the same sell-on clause for Haji. If so we could buy him from ourselves for the £200 million DK values him at and get £200 million + £20 million = £220 million. #cleverwheeze 😊

    I'm not saying this one is a must win but I do think we need at least four points from our next two matches, especially as they are both at home Neither Leicester nor Millwall will be easy games. The local derby effect will likely make Leicester a hard-fought match and Millwall have eight...

    Haji shite

    It would be an odd thing to do. It would surely scupper his chances of making the US squad for the World Cup and probably of a move to a Premier League club this window.

    That has the ring of truth about it and would certainly explain why deals for him keep collapsing. If there is a known medical issue then it will cause problems with getting insurance cover for him.

    I think we will if the right player(s) become available at the right price. It does seem that we were prepared to buy Manneh. It’s a tricky window because, looking ahead, we don’t know which league we will be playing in next season. This affects both our budget and the quality of players we...

    Rudoni

    We do need Torp and BTA back but I refuse to believe that Rudoni has suddenly become a bad player. I'm sure it's more to do with the injury that kept him out, his shoulder problem and/or a resulting lack of confidence. I would be tempted to give Rudoni around an hour in the next few matches and...

    Do you want to discuss boring politics?

    I think you have hit several nails on the head there. Our GP practice - which was brilliant when we moved here over 33 years ago - is now unspeakably awful. It is a huge practice with eight surgeries and not one doctor works full time. It's impossible to get an appointment and so a lot of...

    That's the team that I would pick but I think we will start with Rudi, although it wouldn't surprise me to see Esse in the 10 role later on in the game.

    Loan watch

    I think they've mainly been using him as a wing back, so you wouldn't expect him to score many.

    We will have to wait and see. Teams can overperform or underperform compared with their expected level and so far we have managed to do both this season. Leicester was an example of a team that overperformed for a whole season when they won the Premier League and history is littered with...

    It won't necessarily but it's been going on for nine games and there is currently not much sign of things improving. The hope is that, with Torp and BTA back and the new signings, we will soon turn the corner.

    I agree. The goals have dried up and it's a big concern. In the early part of the season we were scoring around 3 goals a game. If we could have kept that up we would have scored 25-27 goals in the nine games since the beginning of December. We have actually scored 7. Only in the Birmingham...

    I agree; they are both vital cogs in our team. With them back and the two new loan signings things should start to look better, especially if Rudoni can rediscover his form.

    I think those 6 games may well define our season. If we can get 12 points - which we are well capable of - then we are back on track. I will really worry if we get 8 or fewer.

    Only two wins in our last nine games and three defeats in our last four. We are 28 points clear of relegation. Will this be enough?

    Thank goodness for that! No extra time or penalties. 😆
