    Not sure how many of them are away with the national sides, i know the serbian lad is away and i think Mepham is in the Wales squad so we might have to wait!

    Hopefully interviews etc have been recorded already

    Agree, think its still a confidence/experience thing, the first goal he hot first time straight at keeper & should have scored, probably effected his thinking when we scored second & maybe thought need to make sure so ill take a touch.....he will learn & get it right.....were talking about these chances not being taken as they should have.....the key thing is, he has the strikers instinct to be in the right place & his runs, movement in the box can be seen to constantly developing

    Me too, however in this instance its a good chance to have a mini pre season for new lads on how RLB wants to play.... disappointed so many have been called up, great Milan straight into full Serbia team....just wish they had waited till next int break on this occasion

    Have we had them from deadline day signings in the past? We know that they're doing/have done scarf pics at least as Aleksic's was leaked and someone said they saw Mepham doing his.

    Forgot he’d got his first call up, probably take more interest in watching Serbia than England during the break now

    I know what you mean but they were still up in Sunderland so it makes sense to me that they didn't.

    GOM just started a post OTR.....what a point this is<party>

    Heres the scary thing.....Of the team that started yesterday, only 09, Browne and Roberts are anywhere near their peak. The potential for improvement in the rest is incredible.

    It's the remarkable thing about the squad they're building, if they time their run at promotion the right way it wouldn't need wholesale changes to thrive in the premier league.

    We've several lads who could do a job in the premier league as it is, by the end of the year I'd wager a few more will join them.

    This is a good summary about our new striker.

    This lad really knows his stuff, his match report and analysis is always worth a watch.

    It says it's blocked but it isn't ... just click Watch on YouTube.

    Nice video. He has good attributes. You can see he has that explosive aspect to him. I think he will be used up top and lw like yday.

    Nice options to have.

    Never met the bloke, but his posts are spot on as a fan & also as a professional when explaining financial things in layman's terms..... although with some hes on a mega uphill battle on that side mind

    He's a cracking bloke and a great supporter.

    He travels from Bristol, often alone but meets up with the lads, and stays at the Hilton for home games.

    You're right about the clowns he's so patient with.

    They'll come on saying 'Where's all the money gone'.

    He'll explain logically and extensively.

    Two days later there's another identical Mr Angry thread <laugh>
