It’s to overcome both but if you’ve ever had a serious football injury you’ll know the mental side of recovery is sometimes the most difficult.

Johnson is a decent header of the ball, I don’t know about Hedges. I wouldn’t normally expect too much of a winger in that respect.

Him and Grella.

Could do that. Given we’re playing Fulham away I can’t see Johnson getting out of our half a lot. Has he had two good games on the run before though ?

Maybe he’s out grown his strength at the moment.

I thought he did ok but he lacks mobility these days.

I keep saying this but - that’s a small team height wise.

I wouldn’t rule Roy Boy out at Watford yet but I can’t see Norwich pulling clear.

Leeds have taken a big gamble, I’d say it’s more likely to fail than succeed.

Indeed, if anything happens to our three centre backs we’ll be relying on Nyambe or Johnson to fill in.

Maybe bidding for both was us hedging our bets. If we missed out on one we could possibly get the other ?

It says a lot about the lad that he wanted to stay.

If my memory is correct when we met in our last promotion season from this division they were flying and we were struggling. We played really well that day and gave as good as we got before losing unluckily 2-1. We turned the corner after that and went on a run of 7 wins and a draw in 8 game before eventually going on to be promoted comfortably.

Indeed, I thought Chelsea kept their cool really well. They want to turn the game into a scrap. They leave something in on every tackle if they can and their hands and arms are at it all the time. A very nasty team to play against.

I thought some of them had failed at one point.

Me too.

Ball watching ?

I thought the ref in tonight’s Luton v Chelsea game did well. What could have been a feisty game was under control with only one booking late in the game.

When I used to watch European football back in the day I used to think “ these referees are poor, not a patch on our guys “. Now the shoe’s on the other foot and by and large the European refs are better.

He comes across as not being aggressive . You can’t put it there if it isn’t there.

Luton ale housing Chelsea.

Gallagher can win un-opposed headers, he just can’t jump with centre halves and win them. We learnt that in his first spell here and nothing has changed.

I think if Ericsson can recover his “ A “ game Brentford have a chance. If he can’t then things aren’t looking good. The game against Burnley is massive.

Huddersfield won there, are they any better than we are ? I think mentally they’ll be rembering the 7-0 and expecting things to be easy. It’s human nature.

Even when we were crap we weren’t conceding many goals. That gives us a chance in my book.
