Shocking defensively. Away from home we should be setting up solidly and looking to build forward with our passing, but we just get caught out every ****ing time.

Some of his first time touches to move away from players and then drive past them was excellent. He's no Kante and never will be but he's very well rounded which is what we need for that double-pivot.

Another shite start to the game hampered our chances. Completely on top second half and lots to be proud of. The proof will be in the pudding as we play those around and below us.

Why is Maddison marking Firmino... Done ourselves over there. We were looking good for the last 15-20 minutes. No chance we get back into this now.

Good win, both sides were poor. Even though we snatched it we deserved it for Hojbjerg's horrific dive to put them down to ten men. Even with 11 though they didn't look like scoring much in the second half. We didn't have much other than Chilwell driving forward. Missed Vardy's runs.

Forgot to put on my blue tinted specs today.

Zaha is beating Hamer to that all day.

You simply cannot argue that that is not intentional. Shit pass, pulls him down. Red all day.

That's only in the event of a penalty, and even then it's only if an attempt was made for the ball. Learn the rules.

Ah yes you're probably right. Meaning, if we hadn't got promoted we would have barely gone over the allowable loss.

No idea and doubt we'll ever know. Could be things like improving the facilities to be up to Premier League standard?

People need to realise we paid a settlement amount, we weren't fined. As per the BBC article: http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43146018 We paid a settlement after we argued the toss with the EFL that we only exceeded the allowed loss limit due to costs following promotion. I guess the EFL thought it better to settle, as we had a good case, considering the rules are so shit. It says to me that we could have carried on battling the case and walked away without paying anything (although, I imagine lawyer costs for this could exceed the settlement figure). Aren't QPR in a similar battle, considering their interpretation of the rules? All-in-all, this just goes to show how shit FFP is. The rules and guidelines are unclear at best, and clubs really aren't being penalised for overspending as long as they get promoted (see us, Bournemouth, Wolves when they get promoted). Had Forest got promoted after all their spending, I doubt their fans would be moaning. At least our owners have had a clear vision and executed it tremendously well, to get us into a great financial position (league win/European money aside). People will enjoy dragging our name through the mud for a while (especially our near, lower-league neighbours) whilst Manchester City go and pump millions of oil money through their club and spend £50m a pop on fullbacks.

4 or 5 out but Silva in, Diabate in and Barnes in. So really we're only losing 1 or 2 in terms of numbers....

Actually amazing how great our depth is these days - that's a strong team.

Glad we didn't sign him. Wouldn't want to be pay over the odds wages for a 34 year old. Much keener to bring in someone younger. From Fuchs, Wes, Huth, Simpson to Chilwell, Maguire, Dragovic, Amartey we've aready cut the average age down massively.
