Big shout dropping Tronstad. But it’s hard to argue with it on current form. I’d still start with him and bring Montgomery on if it doesn’t start well.

It is when you’re usually on here 95% of your non working time. If we’d been winning loads of games and the new signings performing then I’m sure you would have been here with a few ‘I told you so’s’ 😄

I’ve mentioned before that I live in Hereford and sometimes attend their games. I do it to catch up with friends and have a beer. If a goal goes in I’ll applaud it and if it’s a screamer out of nowhere I might even break a cheer. I certainly don’t get the same buzz as I do watching rovers. I usually manage 4 or 5 games a season and this season will be no different. I’ll be at Preston in November and will also hopefully be at the 150th match. It certainly seems much harder to get excited for a rovers game at the moment though.

Just on the matter of VI not being rated by Barnsley fans. I think it was mentioned that they credit his predecessor for putting everything in place for the play off season (I think he’s the Bristol City Manager). That’s what I seem to recall but I don’t know for sure.

He’s been a very good signing and fits the bill of a modern full back. Very athletic with the pace to beat his man and deliver a ball into the box. Only ray of sunshine from the summer signings

100% going down.

I could see Hull having a dodgy spell and dropping in the mix as well. 2 places between us Hull, Derby and Oxford. I’m not sure we’ve got enough to get out of it based on the first 9 games

This is a must win game which we won’t win

Take it you’re still not worried about the lack of goals Chaddy, you told us all what a good transfer window we’d had and that Ohashi would easily score 15+ goals.

Clearly he doesn’t Mark.

Kargbo looked like he was about to cry when he came off the pitch at the end. Also zero celebration when he scored. I know he took some stick for his howler in the week but it seemed a strange reaction.

Nobody is ‘mixing up’ what you said. You used the words that it was our most ‘expensive’ window in years… it wasn’t. We bought in more than we spent which makes it the fucking opposite of expensive!! If I go for a night out and win £100 on a fruit machine in the first pub I go to and then spend £70, I’ve not had an ‘expensive’ night have I.

Just seen the replay and it was an offside after the shot. I was only half watching and thought one of their players had been offside in the build up so ignore me.

No idea why the commentators keep referring to the Sorba Thomas chance in 10 seconds. Offside was given wasn’t it? I’m sure there was no corner following the save. If they are going to talk about that then they should talk about Gudjonnsen scoring from the offside cross.

Piss poor that.

I’m keen to see how TGH gets on. Actually think he may be a better player than Tavares so he’s got a good chance to stake a claim to a starting position.

Ipswich looked very good on Friday but that was their first win of the season. They’ve only lost one but draws have been the issue for them. I’d take a draw now but saying that I would have taken a draw away at Watford.

Cantwell will be up for it next week, he’ll face dogs abuse from the Ipswich fans but I think he’ll thrive on it. He looked a class above yesterday. Pre match was spent arguing with some knob head on Facebook who was insistent that the current squad was miles better than last season. Obviously he was keen to dig me out after the win. Stand by my comments that I can’t see us finishing in the top 6 but after a performance like that I guess anything is possible. Not expecting anything from next week but it’s the championship so who knows.

Not sure I want to watch it if someone can give a summary.

I think it’s just the unknown at the moment. We haven’t seen enough of the new signings to really make a judgement. Still surprised we haven’t looked to bring in a free CB after the window closed. They would have had a bit of time to train during the international break.

I’ve no idea if that’s good news or not but it should remove the blocker that seemed to be in place

Has anyone done a welfare check on Chaddy?

Christian will be known to a lot of people on here and he’s a good guy. Just replying to Marks comment as they also know each other. He’s a good guy and from what I can see he’s just agreeing that TGH will be a better shout than Tavares. Can’t really argue with that.

Mentioned previously that we should take a look at Kortney Hause. He’s been in the news for the wrong reasons this week (crashed his Lamborghini in Birmingham) but he’s the right age and certainly not a bad cb. The other name, which is never happening, is Kurt Zouma. His wages would be huge but at the moment he’s not earning anything so who knows. Think Danial Amartay is also potentially without a club. They are too high profile though. We’ll probably end up with the lad from Oxford who was released on the last day of the window.
