Funnily enough I heard someone say the same thing last night at the monthly Captain Hindsights Convention. You should come next month?

Derby 2-1 Stevenage Mendez-Laing

Rooney set Louie Sibley back years too, by removing the aggression from him.

Dipstick...

Does anyone know why Shaun Barker was wearing Michael Portillo's trousers last night?

1-1 Collins

Yep same here... Roger Milla's dancing celebrations at the corner flag, Oman Biyek, Cyril Makinake... and cleaning out Claudio Caniggia at the 3rd attempt to hack him down 😂. Gave England a scare in the knock out rounds too!

This fits with Dom Dietrich stating that it was a player who had not been linked to us at all.

Bishop missed as many penalties as he scored goals!

Below Leyton Orient? LEYTON ORIENT?! WTF! Warne out, now!

@Eoghan1884 @Ghost of Clough @Foreveram yes I guess if it's £200k all-in including wage contribution then it makes more sense. I misinterpreted it to mean a £200k fee plus wages on top!

There no way we would pay £200,000 for 3 months of Lee bloody Gregory!

It's was more like a 4-1-4-1 with Lundstram behind Lawrence & Cantwell.

Agree, especially in his earlier games this season. It may have something to do with the bad injury he suffered at Luton last season when going for a header? https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/20292971/luton-sonny-bradley-reading-championship-injury/ Hopefully he's getting back in the swing of things now.

There's something awry with this version of table too. In the 16 games since Stevenage away, we've W12 D2 L2 which is 38 points, not 35 points.

Benched. 4-3-3 should be the preferred formation, but for some games 3-5-2 will be required.

This. 4-3-3 & 3-5-2 should be the go to formations going forward.

Bolton 2.07 Pompey 2.03 Derby 1.97 Posh 1.93

So the fee is definitely in excess of £1m then. Apparently we got what we were asking for, which I assume is the same as the fee we got for Knight at approx £2m

A win and a clean sheet playing 3-5-2 win Bradley & Hourihane both starting... surely not? 😉

Woah! Don't get me wrong, I'm not Hourihane's biggest fan either! I'd much rather it be Bird, Adams & Tommo today, and hope to see oldies like Smith & Hourihane leave at the end of the season. I think it's a bit of an over-simplicatation to attribute all of last week's first hour's performance as being down to Hourihane alone though!

Maybe. Or was it the Hourihane & Bird 2-man combo?
