    Tymon is 17 FFS, he is not struggling in the U23's, and I didn't say he was, just not playing as well at the moment as he was toward the end of last season. Anyhow time will tell as always.

    Saw them at Beverley Playhouse before it got converted into Browns and we're superb, plus had a drink with them in Dog and Duck, happy to mix it with their fans.

    Phelan and the players can be better judged after the next 3 games:

    Bournemouth (away)
    Stoke (home)
    Watford (away)

    I would hope we get 4 points out of these

    Arsenal & Liverpool we were never in the games due to losing a man & Chelsea we were fine until half time. You can point your finger at Robbo who gave the ball away with an infield pass intercepted by Chelsea - and this isn't the first time he's done that kind of thing. He's a talented lad but has a tendancy to be rash on occasion.

    Of course and hopefully he turns out to be the player he is hyped to be. Not really sure what the difference between not playing well and struggling is? But you are correct. He is still very young. As is robbo at premier league level. Hopefully both turn out to be as good as they can be as we don't seem to have an abundance of young talent

    Absolutely, 13 points I'd target there. Draw at Bournemouth, beat Stoke, draw at Watford and against Soton, beat Sunderland and WBA and draw at Boro.

    Gladly take 13 points from those games, even with a defeat or two matched with an extra win here and there. Looking ahead, we have a tough looking Christmas programme and a difficult run from mid January - mid February. Vital we make the most of the games over the next 2 months.

    Robertson was outstanding for the sweaty socks last night hopefully back on form. Snoddy was pretty sloppy in possession and looked a bit tired.

    At the beginning of the season, not sure anyone would have expected us to be outside the bottom three at this stage (considering the fixtures), would they?
    Games we played, Leicester exceeded expectation as we did at Swansea, A point at jinx side Burnley was acceptable. Expected to lose the others, so no negatives points wise. Also in the last 16 of League cup. Season re starts properly next week though.
    I cant help but thinking at some stage, the lack of players and cover will catch up with us, re tiredness and injuries, unless we're sold for the next transfer window and get some more players in.
