One of the biggest, boldest and bravest things for people in the public eye to do is to talk about health issues that affect them. It reminds the World that everyone can be afflicted by something which can affect day to day life. I have eczema which can get pretty bad to the point that I can't...

Not forgetting that in the first game, Ipswich were down to ten men. There's not absolute right answer but from Blackburn's perspective it must smart a tad

He was second choice when we went up last time too ... let's keep that run going :-P

Coventry look set as you say. I think that's in part to the rest not being able to hang off their coat-tails. In our promotion season, Leicester were on 42 points after 17 games and very nearly screwed that up in the second half of the season. As for the rest, I think 2nd and the playoffs are...

Granted, they're Bundesliga and he's German ... but are Wolfsburg that big a draw over us? If we were PL I would say no. I also suspect we are able to pay more. I was more worried by the earlier link with Juventus (at least, I think it was Juventus?)

The defending probably hasn't dramatically improved, just that now they don't have to defend as much due to the team as a whole endeavouring to attack

As an ST, I was gutted I couldn't make it last night but the household is full of winter ills and so we all stayed in. Watched the highlights and also had some considerations around the setup of the team and it has me thinking that Tonda isn't afraid of making changes to suit the game at hand...

Agree that the club could be doing more to try and raise the optimism. Signing Romeu is a start but there needs to be more coming from the club.

Interesting article on the BBC about Ole. I'm not suggesting we could get him but it looks like he would be quite the character and tactician that could sort us out. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cpv13e3k91jo

I must admit, I feel like this a lot as well ... it's like there's just loads of tumbleweed rolling by each day! I think it's also a sign of the times that people are constantly on the lookout for news updates in everything. In the good ol' days we'd just get a snippet or two each day or so...

We love it when things come out of nowhere last minute and surprise us, but at the same time we moan that there's not enough information about what's going on. Football clubs walk the trickiest of fine lines

Although I'm bias because I know him ... I think the opinions on Selles post-Saints are a little harsh. He did a great job at Reading while the club was entirely hamstrung. He then followed that by doing exactly what was asked of him at Hull - kept them in the league (before being duly sacked...

Can we have Alcaraz as well please!?!

It's amusing that they'd rather have the odds for a club that aren't looking than one that is. I'd have thought it would be pretty easy for them to just take bets on it regardless - I can't imagine there's much effort in the background for it to happen.

Next game before the international window is away to Forest. Big, big game at the bottom. Lose it and I could easily see them pull the trigger. Valencia's form is really bad as well, 1 point from 5 games after starting with 8 from the first 6 games
