A few shades of last season with the dominance, yet having a soft underbelly for sides who are very clinical to score from just a couple of shots on target.

Hellberg has to take a little of the blame for not getting all 3 points due to starting with a weakened line-up, though given how much we've been battered by injuries the last few seasons, it's understandable perhaps how he's putting more emphasis on giving players "rested games."

Hey ho, you can't win em all.

Why was Lankshear on the bench, was he carrying an injury? Have Spurs got a recall option on him in January, as they might fancy giving him a go in the PL.

Lankshear was not loaned to Middlesbrough, they bought him. Deal potentially reaching £20 million with add-ons, apparently.

But we've just had 3weeks off,tell you what, this prem lark is easy on the muscle load.

Had quite a few of our lot in the internationals at senior and under 21 level as we have quite a young side. Plus given the fact that 5 of our squad play on other continents it's a ballache for travelling.

Also it's been a 3 game week for us

Whilst I missed the amount of football when we were last in the Prem, the amount of injuries reduced is certainly a good thing.

Middlesbrough had 36 shots during that game!

And plenty of Spurs fans are up in arms about him being sold, given their paucity up front.

Not a particularly superstitious person but no comment from me on this one, not until roughly 10pm on Monday anyway...

Did they insert a buyback?

Not to my knowledge, no.

Add-ons yes, which will raise the 10M initial fee to 20M if they're all hit. But no buy back.

I’m guessing it similar to our Simms deal, we had to pay 8.5m, in pretty sure we had a big chunk upon promotion, so all in all it’s been worth it. Same for you I’d imagine with Lankshear - if you pay 20m for him, it’s a drop in the ocean to what you’d have earned
