    I'd like to see AA back in the team. Having two clever, creative players alongside each other could be really interesting. It could also lead to the two of them treading on each other's toes all game, but I'd like us to experiment with it. If it works, we can't say we lack creativity at least!

    I don’t think you can but your logins might work through the Sky website.

    Yes you can mate. On the homepage it normally has a box with 'EFL Action' on it. Click on that and it gives you the game options.

    We had a rotten start to the season, with long journeys and match times, but Derby isn’t that bad. After that we have,

    Plymouth at home
    Boro away
    Watford and Luton at home
    Leeds away, Hull at home and Sheff Wed away.
    Then it’s back home for Cardiff.

    I don’t know how much it affects the players but that’s a good period for the supporters …

    … not least financially.

    RLB:
    Mepham is OK
    No news on transfers
    ELF - played well as an 11
    We were disappointed after Burnley, we analysed it afterwards (yesterday) there were lots of discussions
    They made the decision together (2nd pen) and it was not the best choice
    Is Wilson still the penalty taker? - we shall see, yes, probably, it was a useful experience for the future
    We needed to avoid long passes behind the defender, after that we created chances and are still a consistent team. It was important for us to press but we knew they could still play in from behind.
    Derby - it will be another tough game and we have to be respectful
    They can play with different options, we have to focus on the way we play and on our finishing.
    We were frustrated after the Burnley game, we were more confident than disappointed.
    The main thing is to finish (off) the game.
    Injury update:
    "Jenson is training fully with us now and will play the first part of the game against Benfica in the U21s fixture on Wednesday evening. Ian should also play against Benfica."
    "With Browney, he needs one week more before he can join us in full training.
    "Ahmed (Abdullahi) will need some more time because he was injured for a long time and he's a young player. To be ready for the first team, I think he is going to need two or three games with the U21s."

    Barnes dominating the presser as always. Bore off mate

    Mepham is outstanding for us. Glad he is fine.

    On a side note shows the gulf in quality of premier league defences that he wasn't going to be getting minutes so come down to championship and is a Rolls Royce!

    I said I backed Wilson for the next pen and said him missing would actually be better for HiM. This is what RLB said

    RLB in his press conference

    Barnes asked if Wilson stayed back to practice penalties ‘yes’

    He asked will Wilson still be the penalty taker ‘we’ll see (smirking)’ ‘Trafford was really good and expected that shot from Wilson, Wilson is used to taking his penalties like that’ ‘now he can find new ways to score it’s a good experience for him’

    That’s the point I was making above. He now won’t limit himself and will practice and realise.

    Wilson to take the next one for me
