I'd be up for joining the specialist unit dealing with those found wearing an old Oxford/Exeter/Luton half n half scarf. Think we need to up the game from containment for this bunch of bad boys. How about the old Lady Godiva punishment?

My favourite away trip Wednesday. Decent fans, great ground if in need of a little loving, and some good pubs for a drink. Have a mate who is a season ticket holder. Always found a different experience meeting Blades fans home or away, bewildering. Remember the game when two Weds fans were...

Think Saka, Cal and Wright, with MVE and Bidwell overlapping, will cause any Championship side problems - so good to watch. So yes if Simms clicks fantastic, but... Also need i) a dynamic midfielder alongside Sheaf/Eccles for balance ii) injury to Wright and to some extent Tats, replacements...

Odd game. Don't think people are giving Watford enough credit. Great press, then rapid counters from our errors created overloads behind our WB's (as did Swansea) and centre midfield, which Eccles & Thomas struggled to contain. Unsurprisingly given inexperience. It also highlighted where we...

Also releases Lati to DM (current international), 4 in total. Assuming Ayari is a 10, will mean greater connection front and back needed from WB's (looks hopeful), and AM (Ayari plus O'Hare) than last year. Then two up front. Palmer may struggle, still hoping for Bastien loan.

Harsh. Really enjoyed yesterday. Chatted to Swans fans going in and coming out of the ground, decent bunch who know their football and aware of what we have been through. Great drink down the Marina, parked 15 mins from ground for free near a cracking chippy. Tidy ground, stewards friendly and...

Come on, Marina/Sea front early for a drink, easy 20min journey to the ground, to watch our first victory since the 50's. What's not to like? I'll probably be in the brewery near the Marina. I've put on a little weight, have one eye but a lot friendlier than I look. To blend in, I'll be...

We know who are the stars. I would argue the progression of Burroughs, Doyle, Eccles, and Wilson, the ever-increasing competence of Norton-Cuffey, Wilson-Esbrand, and old hands such as Kelly showing their worth as part of a squad, are as important to our success, as the stars. It is why I sing...

Sad news. Would be good to get something shared with the family. Thank you CJ. Few of us knew him, but were always grateful and appreciative for the time he spent unpacking accounts for the illiterate masses...

Rarely post and think we will fall short, BUT there is hope.... Jan window has changed our defence, with the signing of McNally alongside a fit Fadz means it is now solid, compared to say the Wrexham game. Two new wingbacks mean we can change a game from the bench. Add in our cover/additions in...

Not sure adult membership was a major income for the club, but has been lost. I previously paid membership each year, for me and my daughter to be a junior sky blue. I go to roughly 10 games a season, some home but mostly away; but I'm the one that gets a few others to come. Was sweating whether...

We'll be there, heading first to the Moorbrook, and if too busy, try the Princess Alice for pre-match drinks. I'll be the huge fella singing 'Lancashire is wonderful', with a disturbingly manic stare. Just come and scream Sky Blue at me and I'll buy you a pint.

Was at Oxford, Sheff Utd home and Forest Green away. Forest Green for me - couldn't get tickets in the away end so stood in home end, with a mate going to his first Cov game. Fighting between our own fans first half, almost decked the Cov fan who screamed at the woman selling pies at half-time...

We'll head first to the Bunch of Grapes, and if too busy, carry on up to the Market Porter. Both decent, but as said, don't let people in wearing colours. I'll be the huge fella singing 'Lions', with a disturbingly manic stare. Just come and scream Sky Blue at me and I'll buy you a pint.

Agree with OP, the bench looks strong currently. There are still three players I worry if unavailable: 1. Kelly - Poor runs seem to coincide with losing his calm maturity. 2. Marosi - Could be unfair on Wilson, but seems a step down from the one game I saw him. 3. Godden - I think Hiwula is the...

Well rinse and repeat! Thought we were good again, though Tranmere caused us more problems. Again movement of Godden was exceptional, and central midfield pair of Kelly and Walsh great, still think probably best in the league. Back three comfortable and combative, but thought Tranmere caused...

Such an enjoyable game, with the fourth goal a thing of beauty live – don’t think the footage does it justice. I am not convinced we will play consistently that well for the second half of the season, but reflecting afterwards, several hopeful points struck me: 1. Movement of Godden was...

Thought our full backs were good - 7/8 Thought Walsh and Kelly were solid and kept us moving - 7/8 Having a manager that not only changed the game when needed, but speaks sensibly, by paying compliments to one of the best sides we have played this season and highlighting the frustration of not...

Chances created, simply didn't finish. Wakefield who should be coming into replace Jobello also injured, so have O'Hare who rarely got in front of goal - he's a 10 or midfield. Rarely will we see a stonewall penalty, Godden on his own in centre of goal putting it over and none of 4 other decent...

Big change this year is our ability to defend set-pieces. Centre backs and Marosi very solid, 7 each. O'Hare carries us forward at pace or drifts into holes - excellent cameo's each week, 7 as well. Think people are being harsh on Jobello and Hiwula, asked to work hard tucking back in that...
