Vik was absolutely outstanding today in all his play apart from that chance. His strength and running was absolutely top class and caused so many problems.

He is very similar to Hamer in the sense that he tries to make things happen. He doesn't play safe he tries to be creative and with that he will make some passes and give away others. Last night yes he gave a couple of simple sloppy passes away but he also created 3 big openings, 1st Allen...

Wilson 5 Bidwell 6 Doyle 5.5 Fadz 6 Rose 6 Dabo 5 Sheaf 6 Hamer 8.5 Waghorn n/a Allen 7 Gyokeres 8 Subs: Palmer 7.5 Kane 6 Eccles 6.5 Panzo 6.5 O'Hare 7 Overall thought the defensive change to the side had a knock on effect on the rest of the defence and we looked a bit all over the place...

Palmer looks a real classy player on the ball, doesn't panic and can keep the ball, play first time passes and sees the picture of the play. Allen as a number 10 just rushes his play at times. Off the ball, Palmer is superb. His work rate for the team is evident to see. Genuinely think him and...

We could, possibly should have won it. If we had Hamer, O'Hare on the bench I think we could have taken the initiative earlier to take the game away from them. Godden is a goalscorer, he needs service, issue is Vik has tunnel vision when on one of his powerful runs so Godden gets into a...

Glad you attended and good to hear you enjoyed the evening. I was there as part of the SBE team, although wasn't hosting this time, but we are expecting a similar event with different players soon and may well host on that occassion. But any feedback on the night as a whole, would be greatly...

I actually bizarrely have a good feeling about Wednesday. I think Wilson starts & Hamer comes in for Allen and we will be the first team in the league to score and beat Preston this season. Got to recreate the unreal atmospheres from last season, get behind the boys and I really do fancy our...

I mean from what Boddy was saying it isn't so much how it "looks" and how green it is (we have played on a lot worse looking pitches) but his concern and that of EFL etc seemed to be there is no substance underneath.

The whole pitch debacle is nothing more than incredibly frustrating and deflating in terms of the excitement we all had for our first home game. Last year against v Forest the pitch was great and I thought it was actually pretty good throughout the season, so to see it in this state (through...

Huddersfield look absolutely atrocious so far. Can't put more than 2 passes together. Lose it every time they get into Burnley's half.

Spot on! I watched a bit of Kompany's press conference and to me it was clear they have this debt/loan repayments and they need to generate funds. Also feels like them spending money on the players they have was done knowing player sales were required. I would be surprised for them to stump up...

My prediction would be Adaramola on loan and this Andjorin as well. Then if O'Hare goes perhaps we would get Max Bird and Sibley in on permanent deals. With Kelly injured again another CM would be useful and we would then have 3 CAM options compared to the 1 we had last year. Would actually be...

On way back from game now. Good performance overall, good to get the win and a clean sheet. More valuable minutes for players and some encouraging individual performances too. Doyle looks a very confident ball playing CB, slotted in seamlessly and think a good battle between him and Panzo for...

Absolutely no chance. Pre Season is the only time Wilson may be guaranteed some minutes, or the dead rubbers that he played in at the end of last season. Moore is clearly number 1 and rightly so. Although I think Wilson is a more than adequate back up.

Well Robins signed a new deal literally a couple of months ago so that to me says he continues to believe in the project and how we are going about it. I think we are handling things very well from a football point of view. And have done for the last 5 years. Some posters more senior than me...

Or it's a load of nonsense that he was on the phone to him.

Or they are but Alan Nixon doesn't have the foggiest on who they are so continues to make up nonsense about our assets.

Good win, and delighted for Walker to get 2 goals. Hopefully give him some more belief. By no means getting carried away with him, but this time last year Jamie Allen was in a situation where many of us (me included), would have been happy to see him moved on. And low and behold he came back...

We also were planning JCS who would have been a permanent so clearly we are using the budget that was going on him on other targets.

It is about getting the best calibre player. We have had some very successful loans over past few seasons, often them being the best players in the squad. I would much rather some class/exciting loans than bang average players on permanent deals just for the sake of being able to say we have...
