4 wickets for Reece as Gloucester end the day on 100-5, not taken him long to get going again.

From before the season started, I didn't think there would be a runaway side. None of the three who've come down worried me too much. I thought WBA would be the highest of the three, although I thought they would challenge play-offs at best. I'm surprised that after watching Leeds in the first couple games of the season that they're not further ahead - even more surprised to hear that they had more points at the same stage last season. I'm surprised at Rotherham who I was sure would be whipping boys yet again, but they look capable of putting up a really good fight. I'm also really surprised about Millwall. The defeat there was frustrating but I sort of wrote that off as an oh well, Millwall is a really tough place to go so a defeat isn't an atrocious result. However seeing how they've got on since then, we're they're only win, so results like that suddenly become very disappointing when you look back with hindsight.

Speaking to my Manure neighbour he said they will be nowhere near full either, plenty of empty seats around the ground. He also said the away fans will be louder than the home. I’m going to try and get up early and go for a beer at Salford Keys.
-
Yep..... him, Evans and Bird are ahead for me.... I do think George’s time is up sadly.... I like how someone compares him to Miles Addison’s situation.
-
They seem to have a lot more guile and steel than last year, I don't think being down by 10 points in the third quarter last season they would have won it, confidence is high, it's been a long time but hey this could be the year 🐬🐬🐬
-
Not really. As a previous poster has said, mid week game, early round of cup, on TV and very likely to get beaten. I don't think you'd think it was poor if we had sold 3-4000 for a similar fixture at say somewhere like Villa and we shouldn't be wetting ourselves just because it' Old Trafford.
-
Not even sold 4000?? That is poor
-
Team leader at work who is a Man Utd season ticket holder. told me a lot of the Utd season ticket holders are trying to sell their tickets for tomorrow’s game. They don’t think Derby are a big enough team. He thinks there will be a lot of empty seats around old Trafford. Let’s hope the rams show them we are a big team.

You would hope so, what else is he supposed to do - let others get rich off his name, refuse £XXm to wear some headphones in a press conference? Nope - he has to maximise the opportunity coz that's the name of the game that is capitalism. What he does at the end is a different story but that's his to decide, not leaving it in the hands of others. Maybe he'll keep it real and go all Bill Gates on us instead of getting a solid ruby jacuzzi. AJ sounded a bit tired of it all, for the first time, in the run up to this fight and particualrly in the post fight conference. You can't blame him, he's just knocked over the number three in the world with a classy display of how to dismantle a very threatening opponent and all he gets asked is whether he would fight Fury or Wilder. Jeez!

Most of that is not AJ's fault though, you can't control which "fans" follow your fights, he's become popular due to his success which surely you should be pleased for him right? All sounds a bit hipsterish, the guy in his 20s that had the beard and drank obscure real ales before anyone else, now it's become mainstream no longer seen to be cool. The paid promotions bit, maybe I can see your point about staying humble, but can you not do that whilst reaping the financial rewards? Doesn't he still live at home with his mum despite all the money he's made?

The Airborne tradition In 2007 Vitesse Arnhem started to honour the Airborne veterans in association with the “Airborne match”. This initiative came from the Vitesse Supporters Club. The game, which is all about the Battle of Arnhem in 1944, takes place in September each year. The activities are organized in tribute to more than 1.700 British and Polish soldiers who died in the Battle of Arnhem and are buried in the Airborne Cemetery in Oosterbeek. The annual Airborne match was played at the GelreDome Stadium in Arnhem on Saturday with the presence of the veterans themselves as special guests. For this special match each year Vitess wear claret and blue outfits, the same colours of the 1st Airborne Division, with a 1st Airborne 'winged horse' emblem also etched on the kit. These shirts are after the match auctioned for charity. What a fantastic gesture in honour of these chaps. The "home end" on Saturday................bloody brilliant!

I left the ground at 3 today as Sam Rush was driving in. Apparently he had a meeting with Simon Storey, CEO of DCCC. Interesting, very interesting.

That’s a great stat. Makes me realise. It’s been a bit poo being in the championship so long, but at least we’ve had some considerable excitement along the way. As have Forest, to be fair. It must be dire being an Ipswich fan. That’s why they got rid of mick, cos at least a relegation battle is something to get excited about.
-
If Johnson carries on playing the way he is he will take some dislodging....
-
Plus if they get relegated then we get the number one spot for current most consecutive seasons in the Championship (unless promoted) joint with Forest (yes they have actually managed to stay out of league one that long.)
-
Same team as Saturday for me except Marriot in for Nuge.... What a place to get yer first goal for Derby.
-
The Bolton game is much more important in my view so play a decent side but rest some key players: Roos Wisdom Tomori Pearce Malone Hudders Bryson Mount Flo Jo Waghorn Wilson

I thought Swansea under Potter would be top 6 throughout the season. Not seen them yet so no idea why midtable... Ipswich, well, im not a fan of Irish Mick by any stretch but I wonder how their fans feel right now. Its looking like a struggle for them. Leeds...meh...they got us on an early, not sorted yet, kind of day... Im having them finish out of the top 6. Well done big Daz and the Baggies. I think they will be ok.

A bit of travel news for anyone in the north of the county the A6 looks like it may be closed just past Disley at High Lane. https://www.buxtonadvertiser.co.uk/news/emergency-sewer-works-to-start-on-a6-at-high-lane-this-weekend-1-9356823

the fans ain't getting paid copious amounts of dosh to watch -
Cricket season always used to finish mid September. Personally I think this is the right time. After this the weather could be anything.

I recall a few misplaced passes in our poor performances. He's been Bradley Pirlo in our better performances. I think most of his poor play comes from dropping deep often. If he only has to drop deep and literally help out the defenders a couple of times a game his performances are much better. If he's dropping back every other minute, a symptom of our poorer performances, the passes are riskier and as such a higher quantity of them go to the opposition. I think he also gets stressed out in those games. Most of the time he's receiving the ball from a defender being pressed, and is being pressed himself.

Followed AJ religiously from the olympics up to around the Klitschko fight. (his best performance) Unfortunately i just can't stand him anymore or the atmosphere around his fights. People who don't have a care for boxing from week to week suddenly become experts and seem to brag by posting pictures of their TV. 'look im a big boxing fan because i've paid 20 quid to watch Anthony Joshua.' Not to mention the amount of girls giving my phone water damage whenever his face appears. Unfortunately, i don't think he is 'real' anymore. Everything he posts is in paid partnership with something which isn't in line with his ethos of 'staying humble'. I really want to like him as he is brilliant. But for many reasons which aren't always his own doing, i can't stand him anymore.
