Much better today. Missed a lot of pre season and it showed later on but encouraging nonetheless

7’s all round apart from 8 for Rudoni and Eccles and an 8.5 for MVE.

Back in now and reading this I genuinely wonder if I’ve been watching a different game. First half was simply excellent. A couple of cool heads and we go in 3-0. Second half not so good but we still had excellent chances. Some of the play was sublime. Rudoni has transformed our set piece. I was...

Much, much better. That was a really good half

We beat Oxford

We’ll be fine. We’ve got attacking talent coming out of our ears.

I don’t think you can argue Kings impact has been positive. I still don’t know what drives him in terms of his affinity with us but it’s becoming substance over form. I certainly don’t row in with the “disappointment at the start to the season” feeling. Maybe I’m still too relieved we aren’t in...

OK. But let’s not forget the claim was whether they were “good championship players”. Surely Simms qualifies.

Have Hummel just misunderstood King when he said we need to be in the black.

Simms amount of goals from last year is conclusive proof he has the quality. Sakamoto clearly has. I could go on. Current form does not suddenly mean they’re not Championship quality.

To be fair we can probably justify it this year as we don’t have a big change in the coaching personnel.

It does amuse me that amongst the possession based guff that is spouted two of the most frequent comments especially towards the end of games are “they’ve started to go a bit longer now as they need a goal” and “they’re now bringing another centre forward on as they need a goal”. Surely you...

Is that a serious question? I’d say over the last two seasons the list is a long one. Dovin, Van Ewijk, Kitching, Wright, Simms, Sakamoto, Thomas-Asante, Binks, Rudoni. Some would make a case for Torp, Thomas, Bassette and Mason-Clarke. A team + 2 subs!

As far as any of us know we may well have offered James a deal and he’s said no.

Burnt out? We’re 6 games in. So far we’ve looked non cohesive. Even if you didn’t want to make them run you could have had them together.

Interesting part of the Burnley documentary was Kompany explaining the direct correlation between the number of sessions he and his team had with the players and them showing that on the pitch. Difficult to instill any ideas into anyone on a beach in Greece. And let’s be honest most of them only...

Must admit I’m enjoying the Championship phase. Lots of games, decent profile in terms of coverage and exposure, a fair chance of winning a fair few and a genuinely competitive league.

Think it’s a good sign. He’s fully engaged.

Eccles = consistently one of our best and most impactful midfielders Torp = a couple of bits of impact. Very patchy, in fact we’re trying to justify him via the odd intercept or pass but in reality he’s a way off for me.

I think it’s the polar opposite. We’re moving in the right direction. Off the field is unrecognisable. On it we have our strongest squad in years. Season ticket sales are at record levels. The fans and team are together in a rare way. It’s all going in the right direction
