    I hope Thomas and Kitching are well enough to travel to Portman Road today, to breathe over the Ipswich squad 👍

    If it goes as badly as some are predicting we will need more than five 😆 Perhaps it's written in the stars that we will get our "missing" six today 👍

    I think he will play in Saka's position on the right. Personally I would play MVE or KKH on the right wing with the other filling in at LWB. That's not because I think they will do better there than Rudoni but because I prefer to see Rudoni in a more central role.

    I just hope that Lati is match fit, given that he hasn't played for us for a while. Having Lati and Wolfenden as our CBs shouldn't be disastrous but clearly it's a downgrade on Thomas and Kitching. I wonder if Grimes will be told to concentrate more on the defensive side of his game today. We...

    Doug King has put his hands into both pockets and we are buying most of the Dutch starting 11 in January, including Jools,. 👍

    A few tricky games coming up, although there are few if any easy games - apart perhaps from Sheffield Wednesday - in this division. I don't know why but I just have a feeling that we might draw quite a few of those games, even though we don't normally draw many. I'd happily take three wins...

    Quite right 👍 I included the cup game against Stoke by mistake 🤣

    I really hope that we play well today and get three points. Four of our next six games are away from home and I don't want us to suffer a loss of momentum, which can often be difficult to regain. PUSB 👍

    Leicester At It Yet Again!

    There is no need for the club to have done this before Christmas. They could have waited until into the new year. I was once a partner in a firm where we had to do this after acquiring another practice which had a different salary payment date to us. We had to move the date in the acquired firm...

    Well done Archer and Stokes, who have at least given an aura of semi-respectability to the total. We now need to bowl well and then bat out of our skins in the second innings if we are to win this. I can't see it happening but, for the moment at least, we still have a toehold in the game.

    I don't disagree with what you say but you won't stop we worrying. I'm still haunted by that season under Mowbray when we collapsed after Christmas.

    I feel spoilt for choice at the moment but, if pushed, I would say Torp is my favourite player. 🙂

    I think a lot of people are like me in that we worry because we care deeply about our club and are desperate for us to get promotion.

    The series will effectively have been lost by the end of the day ☹️

    14 win countdown to promotion

    If we lose to Southampton, which is entirely possible, we will have won 14 out of 22. Looking at your first option we would then need to win 14 out of the remaining 24. It is reasonably foreseeable that we could fall short ☹️ I have a feeling we might draw more in the remainder of the season...

    Oliver Dovin

    If Dovin comes back as the player he was I won't be unhappy, if we can't sign Rushworth, for him to resume his place as our number one. I think they are too good for either of them to accept being second choice.

    Rivals for auto spots

    My wife, who is a lifelong Wolves supporter, isn't impressed by him although she accepts that it is early days and he inherited a very poor squad. She can only think that he took the job either for the money or for reasons of emotional attachment as he used to play for them. I actually wonder...

    I assumed they meant "haggard" but if you listen to The Enemy's recording it does sound as if it could be "haggled".
