    I would say that is because they have never heard of our signings, bar Azaz and Fellowes. So it all depends on how clever they are!

    Irankunda bagged 1 for the Aussies today. He’s looking an exciting prospect at 19! We should definitely be keeping tabs on him if he keeps up the form for Watford

    I see Leicester have the top 3 earners in the Championship plus a number of others in the top 20.
    They have a crazy wage structure.

    We seem sensible in comparison with our highest, Aribo, coming in at number 6 on 70k a week.

    Hence why he’s happy to sit out the last year of his contract here, while we wanted to shift him despite being a pretty decent option at this level.

    On Leicester, that’s what happens when you just don’t get punished properly for breaking the rules. Still have their best player too while we lost all ours.

    Been so caught up in our match I forgot there was actually other football matches this weekend :biggrin:

    Tonight's game will be interesting, two pre season favourites who've had poor starts. Fancy Ipswich to win.

    Yeah I think Ipswich will win it too. Quite a few of their new signings starting so will be interesting to see how they look. Haven’t paid as much attention to Sheff Utds incomings so not sure on their team. A draw would be ideal of course but whatever happens at least one of them will still be winless 5 games in.

    Can't see Selles lasting much longer.

    May be even sooner than I thought.

    Great hat trick from Philogene.

    Yeah, Selles must be close to the sack. Albeit Ipswich will do this to many sides this season.

    Ipswich getting their season up and running. Let's hope we can do the same.

    That was pathetic defending from Godfrey.

    I thought he was poor for Norwich, and even worse for Everton. But then somehow he gets a big move to Atalanta. I guess though they very quickly realised how poor his is, given how rarely he played for them. But maybe if they'd just done their homework in the first place... (This summer would suggest they've not improved.)

    Was hoping for a third through the legs there.

    Amazing how our recruitment record tends to get worse even after people leave.
