Fairly sure Nuge got the first in that one, but as you say, Wood’s was an excellent strike on the half volley!

Got my ticket! Very excited. Anybody who has been before have any recommendations of where to drink beforehand? We’re staying at hotel more or less on the front so I imagine there’ll be a few places around there worst case.

When I was a lot younger I seem to remember a game against Wednesday that ended 4-1 at the KP, and each and every goal of theirs was a brilliant strike.

Super news - thank you.

Any idea if this is going to make all members? Hoping to grab a couple.

Booked off work to go to this one - so it’d better make members! It’ll complete the trio of north-east treks from down here

Weirdly I actually thought he was good on the most part, a few excellent diagonals and balls down the line which once again showcased the benefit of having a left-footed player in that position. I would have to say that he was poor aerially, though. I think a lot of teams target him and with good reason - he lost almost every header he went for today, particularly in the first half. They also managed to play in behind him a couple of times too, but they did the same to Ricardo so it’s unfair to individually criticise too heavily on that aspect. We do also need to remember that he’s still getting up to speed after a few months out, but I think he’s getting better game by game. Certainly room for improvement though!

Only 2 hours for me so hoping it makes members.

Do Brighton have any midfielders we could take as part of the deal? Really doesn’t make sense at all this.

Defended well until the equaliser, and between that and 2-1 in fairness. Rubbish thereafter.

I think Enzo has earned our trust on this one. On the face of it there are a few question marks, but I’d be intrigued to see how it’d play out.

Only just remembered to check and for the first time ever, me and my mates have been successful in the ballot. Absolutely buzzing!

Agreed. Surprised Cesare takes so many pelters in comparison when they’ve been equally poor (at least Casadei has scored twice!).

We limited a very good Ipswich side to one good chance from a corner and a 20-yard effort that Mads tipped wide easily before their fluke of an equaliser - that’s a big positive. However, we didn’t create too much other our goal ourselves really, and you have to give Ipswich credit for that, too. If it wasn’t for the big decisions that went against us, I wouldn’t be so frustrated that Ipswich took a point because they probably deserved it. But they should have been 2-0 down and down to 10 men so it’s hard to accept the end result. That’s football. Let’s take 6 points from Cardiff and Huddersfield and look back on this as a very successful Christmas period.

An ok player at this level but would be a waste of money if we were to go up in my opinion. Not really sure what his best position is, which should be a red flag in itself.

Same XI as last night, with the exceptions of Choudhury for Pereira and JJ back in for Coady.

Not sure what benefit we reap from saving KDH 10 minutes of game time to be honest. Strange sub that - could just about understand the other two.

With only a few months left on his contact I’d imagine about £5m. Which isn’t ideal, but we could potentially reinvest in a player that’ll be here for a longer-term so would make sense, especially with the re-emergence of Patson.

I know! Just want him to be able to develop elsewhere as he’s clearly got the talent there, but it isn’t developing playing 5 mins a game with us.

He shows flashes doesn’t he, that’s what makes him all the more frustrating. Hope either next season or January (if we can get a replacement) he gets a loan where he can start every week for his development.

Hermansen Choudhury Souttar Coady JJ Winks Yunus KDH Fatawu Cannon Mavididi Rotation is going to be needed with the schedule we have. Hopefully that team can get the job done early and give JJ, KDH, Abdul, Winks and Stephy an early rest.

He’s very Nugent isn’t he, which is by no means a bad thing. Needs a start, Rotherham could be a good opportunity.

In fairness with VAR we probably score another at the start of the second half when KDH went through and would have likely squared to Fatawu for a tap-in - it was never offside. Swings and roundabouts I guess!

I hope he can be back for Rotherham in the league. That game, Cardiff/Huddersfield and Millwall in the cup can hopefully get him back up to speed.
