Hopefully he will be a late bloomer ?

He didn't play a Premier League game until he was 16.

Five yards out yet outside the 6 yard box? To be fair, he nearly missed it.

I know there is a long way to go, but this comment isn't currently ageing very well at all ?

That was the one. I was 14 at the time and went to McDonald's before the game and Damien Duff went through the drive through (he wasn't playing). Had a feeling it was going to be a rough evening when we saw the team sheet and no Sutton, Duff or Ripley in it.

We were 4 points from top spot after 24 games before falling away quite drastically. I think our full backs were asked to push 10/15 yards further up the pitch which resulted in the winger pushing further forward. In December we won 3-1 away at Highbury after being 1-0 down at half time. An Arsenal side that contained Seaman, Adams, Overmars, Platt, Petit, Wright, Bergkamp and Vieira. They returned the compliment by putting four past us in the first half at Ewood later in the season. I remember it snowing in the second half and hoping for it to get called off ?

Just looked back at those fixtures and remember them pretty well, Roy Hodgson's first 6 games as manager. We were tremendous to watch at the start of his tenure. Interestingly enough, 14 of those 18 goals came in the first halves of those matches. Remember being 4-3 down at home to Leeds at half time and it finished 4-3

Aren't they the prime things we look for in a centre half?

At this stage in 2018/19 Norwich were 9 points off an automatic spot and 6 points off a play off place. Was that relevant? Promoted as Champions. At this stage in 2017/18 Fulham were 7 points off an automatic spot and 3 points off a play off place. Was that relevant? Promoted via the play offs. At this stage in 2014/15 Bournemouth were 5 points off an automatic spot and 3 points off a play off place. Was that relevant? Promoted as Champions. At this stage in 2012/13 Crystal Palace were 6 points off an automatic spot and 4 points off a play off place. Rovers were top. Was that relevant? Palace promoted via the play offs, Rovers finished 17th. At this stage in 2011/12 Reading were 11 points off an automatic spot and 7 points off a play off place. They were in the relegation zone in fact. Was that relevant? Promoted as Champions. At this stage in 2009/10 Blackpool were 7 points off an automatic spot and 4 points off a play off place. Was that relevant? Promoted via the play offs. Who was top of the Premier League after 6 games in 1994/95? Newcastle. We were 4 points behind them already. Was that relevant? You don't get a trophy for being top after 6 games. It's a good job none of those sides above gave up after 6 games I guess.

Pretty much irrelevant our league position after 6 games.

We've conceded 7 in 6 games. Norwich had conceded 12 in 6 at the same stage in their promotion season. There's only 2 keepers kept more clean sheets than Kaminski so far.

Quite a lot of over-reactions on here as normal. Too many people seem to have extreme reactions to one result - win and we're getting promoted, lose and it's time for Mowbray to go. Worth noting that we played pretty well against a fairly expensive side. Sarr cost them around £30m - and scored twice when they hammered a Liverpool side 3-0 at home earlier this year. A side that hadn't lost a domestic league game in 14 months. There's a long way to go yet. Norwich had 5 points from their opening 6 games in 2018/19. They got 89 from their next 40 and finished 11 points above 3rd placed Leeds. I'm not saying we'll achieve that, but we should be pushing for the play-offs.

They've gone 3-1 up against Bolton after 20 minutes. Assume Dunn still isn't allowed at the games?

It could explain Dack scoring 1 in 9 before October (0.11 goals per game) and then 17 in 36 after that (0.47 goals per game)

Could the top one be Damien Duff or David Dunn? I'd have to dig out some signed stuff I've got at home to confirm it.

It's 7 months off yet.

You keep going on about this made up fact.

No - I don't think it does...... 43.9.2 The following Players do not need to be included in the Squad List to be eligible to play in League Matches: (a) in respect of Championship Clubs, any Under 21 Player (save for any Under 21 Player who is registered with the Club on a Temporary Loan Transfer); and

Dolan is U21 so doesn't have to be registered?

He's a winger isn't he?

Elliott is an excellent signing. He reminds me of Harry Kane in one video I've seen of him.

Bob Wilson the former Arsenal keeper. We've signed him as cover, just in case all our other keepers get injured.

They better go for Josh King then. Good for us.

I was reading FourFourTwo's predictions for the season and they've got Rovers to finish 12th. They said this about Middlesbrough though..... 13. Middlesbrough Last season’s relegation battle is unlikely to be repeated, now that square pegs are in square holes and their young English contingent has an added year of experience. Aynsley Pears, Boro’s 22-year-old goalkeeper, is one to watch this campaign.

Who is?
