With the arrival of Roberts (if and when confirmed) plus the emergence of Tavernier and Bola as possible wingback options, I don't think we should be ...

Thanks for the report, RR. Top job. Special mention for GHW who I remember some time ago musing that Tavernier might make a good wingback. I couldn’...

@werdermouth 3-4-1-2 with Tav as the no. 10 is my reading of the setup so far this season as it is. I think Roberts will most likely replace Tav. ...

Thanks Werder. I echo Len's comments - a quality start to the latest thread. Ordinarily, I would be predicting defeat tomorrow given that Barnsley a...

Good news I think. I suspect NW has decided to stick with the back three and wingbacks and see Roberts as a no.10. May mean Tav stepping down to the...

@grovehillwallah Peter Crouch’s interview comeback remains the best. Asked what he would have been had he not become a footballer, he replied “a vir...

Don’t forget Steaua, Ken! Liverpool fans will point to Istanbul but that was only a three goal deficit. All too easy to come back from really! Bar...

@grovehillwallah Blair was of the view that if you want to change things, you have to be in power: “Power without principle is barren, but princip...

@jarkko I guess I’m pretty confident that the current squad (Poor and thin as it is) and management team will see us comfortably enough in mid-table...

Though I’m very interested, I’ve never commented on politics before on this blog. I’ll have a first attempt here though. I wouldn’t describe Blair’s...

@grovehillwallah And when people from different households can't mix, presumably they all sit in separate corporate boxes! Basically, you can pay ...

@jarkko If we continue to play three at the back and Djiksteel and McNair can keep up their early season form then we may be ok with what we have. I...

Thanks RR a good report and preceded by some very astute observations and comments on the QPR v Boro thread. The summary so far is: Set-pieces ...

@werdermouth Given that we’re unlikely to be promoted, I think that deal would probably suit us! What a mess it would make of the Championship tho...

Thanks Werder. An excellent opener as always. Like many others it seems, my instincts say “draw” today but it’s very hard to predict given the incon...

@ken Very sorry to read of your woes. At least we have Diasboro to check in on. I wonder if you’ve looked online for simple exercises that you can...

Thanks for report, RR. Agree with everything said and Deleriad’s post above. Whilst there are no easy fixes, I still think we could be more creative...

Remarkable that we managed 52% possession against a possession-based Bournemouth. A performance that surprised and broke the mould. i never thought ...

@pedro To be fair, Jones is a winger/wide forward, which we're not overly stocked in, rather than a central midfielder. That said, I agree with RR...

Thanks Werder. I’m afraid that recent seasons have indeed shown us that teams that pass and move cut through us with ease, so I can’t see anything b...

@original-fat-bob Hope you’re feeling better, NTB (New Thin Bob). Well done on losing five stone!

RR said he couldn’t provide a report for tonight’s game and I fully endorse that. The less said the better.

@deleriad I'd be happy with that as a way of keeping things similar to the league setup whilst giving others game time.

Thanks Werder. The prize of Chelsea in the next round is no prize at all this year given that our share of the gate receipts will be 50% of nothing....

Thanks RR. I didn’t see the game unfortunately so great to read your report on what sounds like a strange mix of disappointment and encouragement for ...

@werdermouth Yes I listened to that too. An excellent interview I thought and Deeney came across very well.

On a prediction for the season as a whole, I think we'll achieve more or less what we intended to achieve last season: midtable. Assuming we play a ...

Thanks Werder, great stuff. It will be interesting to see if the three expected signings come in in time and if so, if any of them are ready to star...

@jarkko A very odd development if true. The assumption was that Stubbs was first reserve in very small pool, though Wood appears to have stepped up ...

@k-p-in-spain I don't disagree at all with that KP. Just that bringing in a new keeper and better quality defenders won't solve the problem either in ...
