We had a good start last season and we all know how that went but somehow I’m feeling a lot more confident this time around. Will be genuinely surprised if we are not in the top 6 at the end of the season. Feels like the stars are aligning a little bit this time around with the new manager, excellent recruitment over the summer, fantastic youngsters and a gem of a loan deal. The january window will be crucial though.

Dolan I fear is having his flair coached out of him

Adam Wharton may well go on to play for England but Morton looks absolutely nailed on to do so. Very impressive.

Is he even playing there? Not even trying to stay in position if so

Draws are for losers

Any chance of a world cup for Kaminski?

Good watch that, great result against a difficult opponent. I’m starting to believe.

Dolan and Vale getting ready

1-2

Hedges off with a knock, Phillips on

Adam to come off, Garrett coming on

Faces competition from Kaminski though!

Powerful stuff from Gallagher, in the running for man of the match

Wharton made it look easy as pie

A Wharton first senior goal 2-0

Qpr 2-1 wigan

Always loved you Tony

Delighted to lead, brum are defending well and have clearly done their homework on Brereton

Have you never watched us on Sky before?

Where did 5mins come from?

Ref’s been good. We could have lost this with a worse ref.

Maybe we should sub Szmodics off for D.. oh never mind

Wow the timing of this post
