I still don’t think Cantwell will happen. The cats out of the bag and there’s no way we’ll be the only ones interested now that the low fee is known. Expect him to end up at Sunderland or Hull.

It won’t

Probably because Hedges isn’t, and has never been, a left back. About as random a comment as asking why he didn’t play Guaye in goal!!

JRC can’t play Centre Mid despite what Chaddy might try to tell us. He needs too long on the ball. Better out of the middle of the field when he can take people on. I like him but he’s no CM.

Duru has been very good so far

Pears does like pushing saves back into the box. Need an improvement asap.

What are you on about! All transfers are paid in this way. It’s the same when we buy a player as well.

Thank god you’re not the gaffer @Mike E lol.

I’d rather buy him as surely they can’t be asking a lot as he’s out of the team completely. There’s an interview where he speaks highly of Eustace for giving him his chance. Looks like the injuries are an issue but if fit could be a good prospect.

Looks like Hall missed pretty much the whole of last season with hamstring injuries. Not featured this season and didnt even make the carabao cup squad when they made 8 changes.

I thought we were linked when he left Cardiff and generally it was a very negative view from the fanbase.

Just got back from a wedding to a message from my nephew: For context they played together at Cardiff when they were in the under 18s.

He was injured and had a back spasm the night before the match. Nothing in it.

There’s definitely a push around Travis isn’t there. If he’s sold now it’s been made very clear that it’s not his or the managers choice.

You probably spotted my reply to one of the clowns on that basis!

I saw a football finance thing recently, it may have been posted on here, saying that Ipswich took a massive risk on getting promoted last year and if they hadn’t they would have fallen foul of financial fair play rules. I was surprised but it sounds like they spent big to get into the championship and needed to go up again. Obviously they did so it’s a moot point but maybe shows the risk element involved.

No Iversen on the bench for Leicester tonight. Move on the cards or just below Danny Ward as the backup there.

Our home form nearly cost us our place in the league last season. Need to build from a strong home form and pick up some points away. We don’t want to be having to go to the top teams having to win (like we did last season). Oxford will be decent, full of confidence and will come out of the blocks quickly trying to quieten the home fans. We have enough attacking options to cause them problems as well. Expect BTTs and the odd goal either way, hopefully our way.

I had a similar experience when I spotted that Dominic Samual played for us last time we played Oxford at Ewood.

Chaddy won’t see this as I’m one of the many many people who he has blocked for challenging his nonsense. The Delap thing is something he seems to have got hung up on. Delap is 8 years younger than Sammy, where was Sammy 8 years ago?? He was on loan at Braintree. It then took him until 5 years ago (so Delap would have three more years) to get a Championship move when he managed a massive 3 games for Bristol. Thats why Delap is going for decent money. He’s way ahead of where Sammy was at a similar age.

I think the signing of Germain is sensible as it could also help Yuki settle. We need a keeper for the future, not a stop gap like Krul or Ruddy.

Because he’s a very good prospect.

I know Chaddy likes to spout ‘pacey winger’ at every opportunity but do we really play with old school wingers? Are we looking at more of a wide forward than the traditional ‘hugging the touch line‘ winger of old? That’s my assumption anyway, and if that’s the case it’s not really going to help getting balls into the box for Mak to attack… unless we are talking about proper wingers and basically changing our formation.

How much did you lose on your licence to print money then @Mercer You’d be here quick enough spouting off about which bottle of red you’d bought had it come in.

So the ‘awful’ Derby side we beat get a win against a decent Boro team. Leeds struggle again and Luton held against a promoted team. Welcome to the championship
