Broughton was at Bodø Glimt in Norway and knows about building over time. He was a part of a really solid team and they have declined after he left. We need to give these guys some time to clean up the mess they inherited. In Norway Bodø Glimt went straight from promotion to winning the league in a couple of years. I think we are seeing results way beyond the original plan and just hope it keeps going. Let's build over time and make sure that when we go up we'll stay there. Look at Potter ..from Sweden to Brighton to Chelsea...and a poor team in Sweden as well! We might have gold with horrible owners but we really need to give these guys some time...it might turn out ok.

Perhaps I’m a bit «off», but I only really care about Burnley when it comes to the two derbies. As of right now we are first and second in the league, and if Burnley beats all our other rivals in the top six I don’t mind. Fingers crossed we end the season in the top six, get some valuable play-off experience and make a real push in a season or two. And yeah yeah….every season it’s «this season is there for the taking» so it should be a posibility in any season. The one hope I have for the future is promotion to PL, stay up for at least one season and make us attractive to other buyers thus shedding our inept owners. Back to the league: I follow results for QPR, Sheffield U, Norwich and Watford to see how we are doing. Seems we’re doing ok at the moment!

After 4 straight wins we come down to earth with an off day to put it mildly. Brush it off, move on and get a win on saturday.

Hirst in for Vale

Brereton off for Hirst? Wouldn’t surprise me on a day like this

This will surely come back to bite me but it is still 0-0

Mentioned this on Saturday. He deserves some time off.

Win! Again! And a perfect one as well: Away from home, no yellow cards causing suspension, no injuries, clean sheet, Kaminsky not really tested, good runout for Ayala and Hyam awesome again, showing confidence and trust in the manager….Adam Wharton makes me feel the same buzz I had with Duff. I’m using the table as wallpaper on my phone at least untill tuesday. This feels better than last season. COYB!!!

6 minutes?!?

Still 1-0, Kaminsky not put to the test today, Ayala on….I think JDT got this.

Should’ve kept Gally on and taken off Brereton. He needs a rest.

In other news: Newcastle showing the importance of bottomless pockets in the PL. Third in the table as it stands.

And Adam will be up for it and available on tuesday….if there is a game on

We just need to keep them from scoring. Remember we are away from home.

Reading score - top of the league!!!

What is it with the digs at Dolan and Travis? We’re 1-0 up away from home and shared top of the league with Burnley woth young acafemy prospect Adam Wharton firing on all cylinders. Moan all you want - I’m truly enjoying this as long as it lasts. Edit: I’ll leave the typos. A bit tipsy now.

Like I said before the game started: this squad is good enough to beat Hull and that is all that matters today. Good to see someone else than Brereton score. No good being to dependent on him for goals and he will tire. He has started in all our games so far this season and put in a shift every time I’ve seen him. He deserves a day off. Hyam and Adam Wharton - I’m lost for words. Haven’t been this excited about Rovers squad since Hughes.

Yes - until the finals where Belgium just might be…

Sammie! Awesome! Top of the league with the Bastards!

Looks like 4-3-3

Maybe it’s just my early afternoon buzz, but I think JDT is superior to Mowbray when it comes to thinkering….in that JDT is more sensible. Don’t mind this squad at all and has enough quality to beat Hull despite Travis at right back. Also good to see Garret and Carter on the bench. Well deserved if you ask me - rather than having out-of-form Buckly or Hirst there (remember Mowbray?). Makes me hopeful for the future despite the world burning and the World Cup right before christmas. Now - 20 mins until kick-off and in a couple of hours I’ll hopefully be slightly drunk and very happy after a delightful win against Hull. COYB!!

This WC feels wrong in every aspect (time of year, host, corruption etc) and I have never before been this un-interested in a WC before. Don’t care who plays the opening game, don’t care who wins etc….just want it to be over so we can get back to club-football. The WC and EC are supposed to be little DLCs to be played every other year after the main game is completed - not some lootbox you don’t really need, but have to buy to proceed. Ohh…and it will be a hoot when star players start picking up injuries in the heat. This will be a real shitshow….

We seem to be getting a lot of victories as well….go figure. Seems the young guns are doing ok when given a chance.

Kaminski immense today. Good to have a winning goalie again.

And there it is - 10 victories! I don’t really care how, I’m just enjoying the show. JDTs blue and white army!
