    not really. It explains his wider point but if Cirkin makes Hume look ****e then Hume obviously looked ****e as they were playing at the same time in the same game.

    was just poor language used and he’s admitted that. It’s no problem. Just saying why it got picked up on

    Top-End Championship defender. That is his level.

    That midfield 3 of Jobe, Rigg & Neil must be the best outside the premier league and that’s without Browne in there, the way they make space for themselves and protect the back 4 is brilliant. All kids as well, it’s frightening what they can achieve in the game, hopefully with us !

    Seems he has bought into the new gaffer like.

    Like a different player from last season and probably best we have seen him. Other than score he has done the lot at a very good and consistent level so far this season.

    Closing down, besting his man, making the right decision in passes vast majority of the time, good set pieces and he is shooting and a goal will come.

    I missed the Cardiff game but watching these last two the performances have shifted massively. You can tell every one of them know what they are doing with and without the ball and are fit enough to motor about the pitch with ease. Even the good times under TM didn't give me the sense that this could be special like this has.

    3 matches and as there even been a defensive error?

    Other than Dan today there hasn't been anything wrong to pick in the 2 games o watched. And the second yellow is one that can happen he clearly thought he could get there and misjudged it (even if he was daft risking it when already on a yellow) but I hate to say playes booked for dissent and should be a club fine (if it isn't already).

    Early days but the three relegated sides aren't looking anywhere near as good as last season's bunch ...

    ... Leicester were clearly going straight back up, Burnley looks a shambles on and off the pitch.

    If Luton, Burnley and Sheff Utd keep taking points off each other that's good for us imo.

    Agree, it must be the way we set out as the 1st game of the season when they (Burnley) played Luton, they absolutley battered them.

    I said the other day the average age of them and they are dominating experienced players nearly twice their age in some instances.

    Regis has them well drilled and well prepped. Has anyone noticed I've got a crush on Regis, if I was a teenage girl I'd be writing mine and his initials in a heart on all my school books! <laugh>

    Last season was ruined by injury for PR.
    When he got in the side he never got a decent run. Felt he was brought back in when he wasn't fully fit imo.

    Not for me. Not picking an argument, but those words are a compliment to Cirkin, not a criticism of Hume at all. I thought Roberts made Messi look **** today.

    In Prehab's defence I think it was just the way he phrased it. Hume was the worst out of the 11 today IMO.

    He did a good job defensively too. He was immense today.

    Twitter is funny as **** tonight! So many “if we’d signed Mandy for 10m we’d have 10 points now instead of 9” type sarcastic comments!

    Brilliant from everyone today, but absolutely stupid from Neil. On a yellow he had no reason to make that challenge. I didn’t clap him off as it could’ve cost us big time

    Aye. That's what I meant. It was a compliment. We all know Hume is very good. But Cirkin made him look a bit ordinary.

    Sorry, I can not be arsed to be articulate all the time.
