Buckley cross I think.

Even at this level, Pickering as a creative outlet is so disappointing. The lad has absolutely no pace - that left hand side is so slow.

He must be absolutely miles off the standard.

Can't always determine which coverage you get when you tune in... plus, quite frankly, I take a perverse pleasure in listening to opposition commentary teams whine when we're beating them - it's also interesting to tune in for a bit (if I have the option) to see what they think of us / our squad / our standing), some can be very complimentary and some very dismissive.

Szmodics starts. A big 'fuck you' to Ipswich it seems.

Curious. Having watched us play every other team in the division our commentary team is definitely in the top 3.

Despite the commentary team?

You mean Bambi on Ice?

Absolutely not.

I stand corrected - it's £180m now over three seasons that they've spent (another £40m so far this summer). Absolutely bonkers when the rest of the Championship doesn't have a pot to piss in.

I think prior to his hamstring tear it was a justifiable gamble (although Mowbray did love his diminutive players), but since then he's lost all his pace and just can't hack in out wide at this level.

They literally got promoted playing the same way (and troubled a lot of PL teams last season with the same style).

Who is Dolan outrunning?

You'd expect them to have a good squad when they've spent over £140m on players in the last two seasons. Of course that didn't help them embarrassing themselves last season, but with competent management they'll have too much for most teams this season.

Not as good as Szmodics though. Nailed on for relegation are Ipswich - spent a lot of money on Championship players this summer.

They must have injuries, right? Playing a load of kids and look shite. To be fair they only went up last time because two career journeymen #9s had the seasons of their lives.

The haircut doesn't help - looks a right twat.

Another one out the door - any injuries at the back and we're stuffed. It's amazing how efficient we are at pressing the right buttons when we need to isn't it?

Vale is good technically - you can see that. He just has nothing going for him physically or mentally.

Resigned, apparently.

Have they paid for Brewster yet? Scummy operators.

Seems to be out injured a lot that lad.

I don't think anyone was patting themselves on the back over Telalovic. He was a desperate cheap punt after the owners turned the taps off again.

Then he goes to a poorer team in a weaker league.
