On Markanday: “He felt not 100 per cent yesterday so we didn’t take any risks with him. “We trained yesterday in Birmingham, he came with us, but he felt something and wasn’t 100 per cent so we didn’t want to take any risks.”

They're the 3 that we've been confirmed as interested in. Think we're favourites for the striker. GK seemed nailed on. I think the CB has quite a few options, including Watford/Udinese.

We're crying out for some creativity, speed and goals at the front end of the pitch. Dack will always be threat, but he's our main creative source and our only real goal scorer at the moment. We desperately need a striker. A left winger too with pace, We desperately lack pace.

Meanwhile, on the Brizzle forums, they seem happy with a point. Maybe we are overachieving?

WE GOT A DRAW!! The future is ours!!!!!!

6 mins added on.......

Kicking off at Brum, fans on the pitch in front of the Dir box.

Maybe a keeper was a priority after all

We can't even defend leads anymore. Is Kaminski really all that?

Everybody does it.

Calm down fella, he plays for us.

Class is permanent. Good job we didn't sell the Dackster. Good assist by Morton too?

??

Are we hanging on for a 0-0 from the off?

Don't do it!

Vale will score today after getting on the end of a glorious Buckley through-ball. Brizzle 0 Jon's Heroes 1

Your post surprises me. You're normally so positive.

He's played a grand total of 94 minutes in those 8 appearances in the Prem.

I've never heard of him but he's got a good goal scoring record wherever he's been. He's a 1-in-2 striker. Did well in the Belgium top division. At 26 he's in his prime and he's coming from a Prem team that buys good players. It's a huge upgrade on Hirst on paper.

In the LT today.

Exactly, it's all media driven. Moyes didn't help either, I'm always happy when his teams are getting dicked.

Weimann is injured, as well as Conway who was one of the front 4 at our place. Wells will score against us, he always does!

Sharpe saying all the finances agreed with Brighton for Undav, and could be done early next week. Competition from Belgium apparently.
