    I can't wait for Wednesday, I feel confident we'll win.

    I'm down there early so will have to time my drinking carefully so I'm on top form at kick-off ...

    ... the support today will take some beating, absolutely top class.

    RLB mentioned 5 at the back in pre-season when asked about injuries, wouldn't be surprised if he goes with that, he seems to like Hjelde also.

    People seen him in the hospital getting his heart checked and would have thought his career was done.

    Chest infections can result in difficulties breathing and potentially lead to cardiac issues. So he goes to that specific ward to be checked over.

    I was always confident it was nothing too serious, good on the club for following protocol and sending him to get checked in any case.

    Shame it was leaked he was admitted.

    cheers again RTB...

    take the point and run i say, not at our best but i thought it was a decent enough game until jobe's mad second, first watch i thought jobe had won a free kick because the other two had a couple of 'nips' at him but with the replay could not argue...he will learn.

    i was honestly expecting the worst from this game and once we went to 10 men it looked likely, the lads did well defending but really struggled to get any control which would have helped them, strange how a team changes when they smell blood, the lads were not prepared to give them any though.

    ref watch...could have been better, along with his officials.

    my MotM..going to onien as he stood (almost) firm through it all and threw himself to the ground to block any shots that might come his way.

    Relieved Rigg is ok. Expect he'll feature again after the international break.

    I presume this wipes out his 4 yellows as well? So he misses Preston, Coventry & Millwall… but back for West & z Brom& Sheff Utd

    Seesh. All these people getting themselves wound up about Rigg and stating he’d be “out for a long time” etc want to take a deep breath and stop believing everything they read online. As for those passing off Chinese whispers as “intel” want to take a long hard ****ing look at themselves

    I believe we paid £3M for Aleksic. He's been on the bench for 4 or 5 games. Surely, he's the one to come in against Preston.

    Be harsh to start him given he’s still settling in. If Ballard is fit then it wouldn’t shock me to see us go to 3 at the back with o9 potentially stepping into midfield.

    need to get samed fit

    Have to say I think there is no chance of O'Nien going into midfield. People often shout for it but it never happens. I may be wrong but I'd be amazed.

    Still at risk of 5 yellows when he comes back. The cut off is sometime in December
