    Absolutely. Premier League -> almost nothing is a foul. The game tends to flow. Last night everything was a foul.

    That said first half there were a lot of goal kicks and we were absolutely terrible for the first hour with not much resembling football in evidence. After that, the execution of our diagonal balls was appalling all night. Some of the crosses late on were good, though.

    Pretty good game this so far - plenty of zip and opportunities. Wrexham look like they’re adapting to the Championship too, but they’ve bought well (Windass and Moore up top, O’Brien in midfield, and Coady at the back - to name a few).

    I see Southampton as our main competitors for automatic promotion (presuming we pull our finger out). So a Wrexham win will be better for us, I think.

    It should be an expected nail on for Southampton anything other than 3 points for them is lost points

    These surely will make up at least five of the top six. There’s always room for a surprise in the play offs but surely there’s not a place for Wrexham in the autos.

    Coventry, West Brom, Birmingham, Leicester, Ipswich, Southampton, Middlesbrough, Hull, Blackburn, Sheffield United.

    PTC really doesn't like Greaves, always critical of him, even when he was clearly our best player!!

    It's the first game of the season and we've lost half the side, De Lap our top scorer, Morsy our Captain, Tuazebr
    Christ nuggets you're going back a bit but there were so many of us then, the best one of our friends up the road up the road was Canary Dave who I think was very ill but could be wrong, but carrothead or whatever he calls himself was there as well and just can't stay away, I don't think his knuckle dragging friends know he's a blues supporter but I won't tell them.

    I thought 95% of the time he was superb yesterday however if you look whenever he's in the team there are always a few moments where he's usually half a yard out of position and usually that leads to a big chance. It's part of his game he really needs to work on and something in the end Burgess I thought was great at given he had a real lack of pace. He reminds me a little bit of Damien Delaney who was strong made lots of last ditch tackles but was always caught out of position...I do think Greaves is a much better player.

    I've been on the Budgies board and he's nowhere to be seen ! I was looking forward to discussing their result but he's in hiding.

    I'm here. You are rubbish to watch and sadly so are we. I cant argue for what we are doing but you are no different. You Town fans just need to realise what you actually are.

    You can discuss all you want. I've seen you play and your not very good. You have no guile in midfield. Its huff and puff, force of will stuff for you. Great if you have a brain the size of a maggot, but hey ho, you guys seem to like it

    Your finger is pulled out. You dont have quality players. They are put a shift in huff and puffers, no touch and technique, you are an awful footballing team.

    I do wish you'd all stop pretending otherwise.
