    Small scores again for PNE. I thought he was a defender, who wasn’t good enough for us?

    Please can we not to do the "ex player scores here/Ballard scores there" stuff. There's very few of those that we're likely to miss, and Small had a terrible attitude.

    Not wanting him back, just surprised that he is doing well at a top half Championship team.

    It was about 5 years ago we signed him right? And he's only just coming good. Another case of signing a player too young and expecting too much from them. It's the Southampton Way!

    Yeah I was one. Wasn't convinced at all by Derby stint and thought Coventry wouldn't carry last season's form into this.

    Clearly been wrong about that as they've been brilliant so far.

    Interested to see how long they maintain it and react to a bad run. Also glad we don't play them until December.

    Well that didn't last long.

    Really impressive win for them yesterday it has to be said.

    Good derby match so far, albeit that was a lucky deflection.

    Brilliant. He's challenging Fatawu for best player in the division.

    That felt like the Ipswich of two years ago. Played well, but not amazingly, for an hour or so (75 mins in this case). Then utilise a stacked bench by making a triple substitution, and take full control of the game.

    He's another who is clearly good at this level but probably not good enough for the PL.
    It's too early to say if we have brought in upgrades in Mads and Jelert yet.
