    • We try to play proper football now and will get better with training time. (love this positive)
    • Fletch is back and in amongst the goals already.
    • Celustka is looking like he's solved our right back problem
    • Giacc looks a class act who'll adapt quickly thanks to PDC's attention to detail.
    • Jozy looks unplayable with the ball in to his feet.
    • Jack is actually looking like a good lb, improvement getting forward is staggering.
    • We look really sharp late on in terms of fitness, if not for the sending off I think we would have taken them because their defence was spent.
    • We've just brought in a midfielder with real attacking threat
    • We've just nabbed a 10 million striker who only dropped out of favor due to injury. Not a bad 3rd striker.
    • Still over 4 hour of the transfer window remaining.

    Why would sess go to WBA who are bottom of the premier league ?, strange one that. And we caved in the last two games, there is no one interested in getting up for a game it's been like that for 12 years now, why I just do not know. With the fixtures the way they are it looks like curtains by Feb for us, and talking abut the last 10 or 11 'winnable' home games no chance.

    Check in the mirror, see if there's a reflection ..... if there isn't you'll confirm my suspicion that you're not real.

    Thanks. I've been saving it. Glad it was appreciated because I think they're good positives. Surley the negatives can only get better. I even think our tough home game run in will help organise our defence. Hope Brown is back sharpish.

    It'll click. My only worry in the world is Paolo's temperament.

    We have some very good players who are more than capable of top half and a good cup run ...... yes were all pissed off but I still believe the quality is there.

    The quality is there mate but, is the attitude? Hopefully this new batch of players are not as thin skinned as the last lot.

    In retrospect, we are better now than 5 years ago - except perhaps for Mig in goal.

    We can afford to lose Sess in my mind.

    You'd never say that when he's at the top of his game ....... sadly that's not as often as it should be so I agree with you.

    I'm sick to death of the 'Sess unhappy & leaving' ****e ........ ever since he first stepped off the plane, enough is enough.

    Bye Sess and thanks for the 3-0 ......

    Oh defo mate. Like I said, It's my only concern, the rest is understandable in a transition period and it will be worked on with the finest of detail and will come good.

    Was going to post a sad old gif. :p

    Why use a gif when a cliché will do?
