Was thinking he's not long back from an injury, 3 game week, might need a short break.
Had Alemayehu as "Isak" on the bench - can't be dealing with spellings. |

For me, the best squad in the league with a very good manager, cheating aside.
Going to be a tough game, fortunately it isn't on the back end of a 3 game week. It's the start of one.....would take a point all day right now. Think they will just have too much for us, 1 goal in it. 2-1 them. Kone for us. If we go there and win, I will start firmly believing something is happening this season. |

They like to control the ball, which suits us, as well known. So counter attack with Smyth, Poku etc. must be the plan. Keeping 11 men on the field is more the challenge.
Spoke to West Ham mate and he said they had a lot of the ball and didn't create much, passing for passing sake. When I've seen them they've looked tidy and easy on the eye and defend well.
Basically take your chances, similar to Derby and we can get something here.
Going for a 2-1 defeat but with no silly mistakes we can get a point here. Will need everyone at 7/8/9 to get it though. |

So Ronnie in Midfield as the norm? Can Cirkin do a job at LCB? The lesser spotted Morrison might get a game? All very exciting questions. |

It's been a good start but could/should have been better! See Bolton (H) and Charlton (A). The league is extremely tight. Overall I'm very pleased with how it's gone, the football being played and the team spirit. The togetherness particularly shone through when we had 10 men for 75 mins against Preston and away at West Ham when we had about 8 players actually moving.
The next 3 games, with the players unavailable, is a real test for the squad. I would have loved to have played these 3 with a fully fit squad and the team show us what they actually have. I can't see more than 2 or 3 points in them but any more than 4 and I will start to believe. Same squad tomorrow but let's hope we have a few more warm bodies for Swansea and Soton. Come on You R'ssssssss! |

All we have to do is win the FA Cup, easy, right? Oh and get a cut price deal from Man City to sign him on a 10 year contract. I'm in. |

Wasn't a massive fan at the time because it was 0-0. More than happy when we are leading. But he is just quality, will be playing in European competitions next season. |

Can't work out if I'm looking forward to this or not. It's nice to have proper football back but can see us conceding early, again. Defo not looking forward to getting there and home again.
Think we will line up something like this:
Charles
Mbengue Dunne JCS Lampty/Adamson (depending on fitness)
Madsen Edwards
Poku Saito Smyth
Lloyd
Kolli and Kone likely on the bench. Will take (another) draw now but if we win that last train is in danger of getting missed.....Highest scorers v 2nd best defence in the league.
Head: 2-0 them.
Heart: 2-2 - Dunne and Kolli off the bench. |

Saw on instagram he got injured in the game he scored in and returned to us for rehab. Not sure how credible but he didn't play last night...... |

Can we get some better beer on in the stadium please? :-)
Stan Bowles stand used to have one pop-up shack with draft Carlsberg and an IPA (Shipyard?).
Last season we had that plus each kiosk had Carlsberg and Poretti, now back down to just Carlsberg. Only usually have 1 as I drive most home games (sometimes 2 if not driving) so would be nice to have a better beer! Plenty of local breweries around, happy to do the market research for you Christian too. |

Realistically I had us on about 11 points so where we should be with the quality (or lack thereof) we have faced. The issue is we should have 16 from 18 and we now have injuries stacking up.
IF we can grab a draw on Saturday then beat Preston (before they sack Heckingbottom) it's a great start to season but could have been even greater. Tougher tests to come but hopefully we have some warm bodies back by the West Ham (A) game on 9th October. |

In old money it's probably considered onside. In this day and age of VAR, the lean makes it offside. So end of, move on.
Charlton were crap, played for a 0-0 at home and got it, probably would have won with a bit more ambition going forwards. Awful tactics from Jones at home. |

Another 2 points dropped. A game screaming out for a creative winger, which we used to have in abundance. If Chair play that game, we win. If we had got ahead it would have been 2 or 3, similar to Bolton.
I actually think we will do better against the "better" teams where there is space in behind them but in those ones, more so than these, you have to take your chances. Hoping Kone can get some fitness and form ASAP. |

Head: 0-0 bore draw, see last season.
Heart: 2-1 win - Burrell and Vale to finally bag.
If you're going and arriving closer to KO time I recommend a paper ticket for the train as there's about 1 or 2 oyster/bank card tap out points at the station - queue for ages! |

It's on Sky Sports + Channel 404 if you have it. Feature game, not behind the red button.

Similar to the winner against Stoke last season, similar minute too but not to be. I thought it was in from R Block, knew the game was up after that didn't sneak in.
So far we've had a draw which we should have won (Bolton) and a loss which we should have drawn (Boro) so a undeserved win coming soon, right? RIGHT!? |
