Well, looking at the nascent league table, the only way is up!

Question:- why play Crooks when McGree was on the bench? Why play Rogers at number 9 when Forss is obviously so much better? We paid the price for ...

Brilliant, OFB! I must say this Bolton game is as tough as they come. They made the play-offs last season and have started with a bang this season...

Thanks for an excellent opener, Deleriad, I enjoyed it! I can’t see us winning this one, though last season in the first play-off game we were the ...

@ selwynoz That’s a brillant analysis of the game and our current situation. I really appreciated it.

It sounded very much today as if we badly missed spark down our left side - at least until Silvera came on. I think it will be really difficult to rep...

@peter-surtees An excellent post, Peter. And welcome aboard!

Thank you all for your best wishes. I’m confined to one bedroom, but my jailer-wife occasionally brings me bread and water, Powmill - unfortunately...

An excellent opener, Andy, thank you. Unfortunately, I’ve drawn the short straw as I have to do the next one for the Huddersfield Carabao game. I expe...

@lenmasterman Very good, Len. You sent your post while I was still writing mine. I think the tenor of both our pieces is very much the same. I agre...

I can’t help thinking we’ve got our recruitment strategy wrong this summer. Clearly we got in all the youngsters and the keepers early, which looked v...

@lenmasterman I agree with you, Len. If I were Chuba I would definitely be looking at all offers from Premier League sides. He owes us one after Bo...

@powmillnaemore Many thanks for all your work on the COTS challenge. Your table looks mightily impressive. However, I only have O-level Maths ( and...

And a big welcome from me, too, Peter, obviously!!

Talking cricket, thank goodness England managed to win today at Headingley. That was a very nervy run chase. Once again several of our batsmen did the...

Friends: re Ken I spoke to Ken on Thursday evening. He had been in hospital for 3 days, having had a nasty fall in his bathroom, which had left him...

On a completely different matter, I had the pleasure of listening on Test Match Special to the lunchtime Ashes interview today with Gareth Southgate. ...

@clive-hurren Have you seen the new Barnsley shirt yet? Sit down before opening the link .. Up the Boro! Good grief! I see what you mean, J...

@malcolm One of the ones we should never have let go!

‘Actually I like the new home shirt and will be pre ordering it shortly, like every season, as far as the white band is concerned, many of our home sh...

@exmil Thanks for the link. I have to say I hate the new shirt. Where has our unique white band gone? It’s a key part of our identity. Bring it...

@werdermouth Hear, hear. I wholeheartedly agree with every word you wrote.

I’ve just been enjoying all your posts after a busy family spell that has kept me out of action. I was very sorry to hear of your further troubles,...

I’ve just caught up on all the posts on this thread and those I’d missed on the last one. I must say that the quality of debate just gets better and b...

I’m just numb today. I’ve got the promotion blues hangover. I was so tense at the game last night and used up so much nervous energy, all to no avail....

Exmil I completely missed the final results of the regular season challenge, so preoccupied am I with the playoffs. I’ve just checked the final tab...
