Thought his progression has been really good for three seasons. This new campaign he has looked to have dropped off in form for the first time. But so has everyone else apart from MVE, so his performances perhaps have to be put in context. Has always struggled with that killer pass that great...

Be very surprised if this is not a near sell out. Unless we are really pants between now and then, I would still expect a big crowd. Lot of floating supporters will turn up. Hope they don't kill the atmosphere like the Chelsea match.

Read an article calling a player having controlled grit. I thought that was our problem a lack of grit. However, Sheaf, Lati, MVE, Bidwell, Eccles, Thomas all demonstrate controlled grit. Kitch definately has grit but is not always controlled. The same for Binks who has three yellows already...

Great for the dressing room. No doubt about his experience and the positive influence he had when we were struggling in our first year back in the Championship. Can he still do it on the pitch at 33 is the question? The way we play I would not expect him to play for 90 minutes anyway. As a free...

Lati came from Swansea and was a full Jamaican international.

Money doesn't talk, it swears....Bob Dylan.

I think one of the reasons we upped the ante with the squad was so we could rest players coming back from international duty, particularly long-hauls to the USA or Jamaica. Don't know if Sweden are playing, or if Dovin is picked for their squad. Rodriques would have been another long-haul...

On the pitch has not been great so far. We have played Stoke who had seven players injured, had not finished their recruitment and no recognised striker (loss). Oxford who are tipped for relegation but are getting home results. We smashed them but in the end were lucky to (win). Bristol are...

Early days. Apart from Oxford, Rudoni has been pretty poor. On very little evidence of proper competitive games, he looks like he may struggle to score many goals. A continuing problem for our midfielders until O'Hare chipped in with a few last season. Stoke and Bristol midfield were forcing...

I know Oxford were in L1 when we played them in the cup but online, one of their fans said Shit, we are playing Brazil.

We have to have a wage cap. We simply cannot compete with the relegated clubs that have parachute payments and those like Hull that are funded by rich owners. Surprised if King is happy with performances on the pitch, but he is the man making the decisions. MR can ask for players and recommend...

Norwich had one shot on target deflected into the net. Think our problems are further forward.

Firstly, it is way too early to judge the new coaching staff. If we are seriously shit at Christmas, questions have to be asked regarding recruitment, coaching and tactics. They may be collectively better than Adi. We will have to wait and see. Adi's record says he is a top successful coach...

I thought MR started off with his regular assistant who had to retire due to health problems. Can't remember how many games they were together at the City before Adi came in.

I've made it clear that I am a massive Vivash fan and expressed my concerns that anyone who replaced him would have to be as good if not better. That said, the last two seasons we started really badly and that happened when Adi was here. The CBS pitch debacle didn't help two years ago. Think how...

OK, what is an eight?

I really hope Torp is not a one season wonder. He was bang average apparently until a brilliant season at his old club before we bought him. Adi (am I allowed to mention him) said his ultimate position will be as a forward behind the strikers. I do think it is still too early to write him off...

Think we will play our second team. Hope Oxford do the same.

Really can't remember O'Hare putting in a performance that bad but will be happy to be corrected.

Overall, we were pants today. Stoke two, the return against a better side. Lucky not to lose. We have been found out playing wingers, as the other sides flood the midfield and make our central players look poor and get outnumbered on the ball. That said, there was a lack of tackling in midfield...
