With only one nailed on defender for next season in Fry - who we're talking about potentially cashing in on - the likelihood that Patrick Roberts won'...

My only note of caution from yesterday's game was that I didn't think Reading were up to much. I'm not convinced that that was them at full tilt. It w...

@grovehillwallah I think it was a 4231 in the end. The way Saville and Howson worked together, I think there was some promise setting up like that. In...

Get in! A good battling display against a Reading side that weren’t exactly giving it everything. But who cares? Fry, Friend and Tav were the pick...

Half-time: 1-1. We’ve done ok. A few scary moments and a very poor goal to concede but we got a bit better as the half went on and started to get at t...

@lenmasterman With Fry the only full time centre back left at the club - or at least the only one who has played more than five senior games - I’m not...

@werdermouth Yes, me too Werder. Though originally it was Ayala, then Shotton, now Djiksteel. I would still prefer Clayton over Saville and Coulson ...

@malcolm Yes just read that he's injured and therefore has left the club. A shame for the remainder of this season. Didn't set the world alight but ...

Interesting line-up. Glad to see Roberts and Tav in the side with Fletcher making a mobile group in the attacking third. Happy to see Pears as well. W...

Thanks Werder. A very amusing preview - I suppose if we didn't laugh we'd cry! I agree re Tav and Roberts. We desperately need some zest in the atta...

Put very simply, I think too much of our recruitment over the years has been along the lines of, “We need a midfielder. Who were the best 3 in the lea...

Organised and determined at the back, fluid and lively going forward - Bristol City played well today. For us, we still haven’t found the balance an...

BC the better team, passing and moving really well at times and we haven’t been able to cope. Credit to them. The scoreline though is a case of bein...

@allan-in-bahrain Good to read that you’re back up and running, Allan. All the best and hoping for three points for you to celebrate.

Yes, I completely agree with this. I think Coulson as the left wing back would also add further pace, energy, mobility and a bit of tenacity.

Warnock struck a much more positive tone in his press conference this morning and also his comments on Spence. Two of the main contentions in the pa...

Thanks for kicking us off Jarkko. Simple for me - setup and play more or less like we did against Millwall and we'll win. Setup and play like we did a...

I missed the game entirely due to work but delighted and relieved to be proved wrong in my prediction. Well done Boro. Please stick with the wingbac...

Well, Spence is the only player with pace in that side, and there's no creativity at all in the centre. Right sort of shape, wrong sort of personnel f...

I think when the club say Pulis left us in a far better state than when he found us, they only mean the wage bill. The quality of the squad he left ...

Thanks Werder. i think I’ll save my prediction until I see the teamsheet. Selections like the last two games and it will only go one way.

Not a bad set or results for us this evening. However, I suspect we’ll need to beat Millwall tomorrow to climb out of the bottom three. I fancy Hull...

Warnock press conference quote: ”“We probably have a shortage of strikers and defenders. We do have good wing-backs.” Is that a hint at the shape ...

Last season under Pulis, I thought Fry did well on the left of a three and brings the ball out well. I have Clayton in there on the left of the two ce...

I’ll just keeping on banging my little drum for a wingback setup: Stojanovic/Pears Shotton Moukoudi Fry Spence Howson Clayton Coulson Roberts ...

@redcarred Agree with all of that, RR. My slightly flippant point about stumbling across a good, long-term manager is that I don’t think we’re going t...

No doubt Keith Lamb was vilified but I would also say that he was around when Steve Gibson had financial muscle. In those days, the only strategic pla...
