I think we'll go a lot stronger than lots of the suggested line ups. Marti will be keen to build a winning momentum early in his reign.

Agree. Don't mean to be arrogant but if Kone would rather chase more wages at a club like QPR than play in front of 30k plus every week and train in a £100m training facility then he really isn't the one for us.

I think there is a very good chance that we don't pay a single transfer fee during this window. Just loans and free transfers.

Not sure that Eskinazi is really an upgrade on what we have. Very average red ball player and getting on as well.

That was last season and he played the final few games for Oxford.

People keep saying that Nelson has been injured but it wasn't a major one and he seems perfectly fit from what I can see. Very disappointed he is not starting.

I would bloody hope we were going for a win at home against a team who are favourites for relegation and down to 10 men!!

Utterly embarrassing in every sense.

Good recovery but we look a little short here.

Gutting that we're again selling one of our prized assets to a club who we were miles ahead of only a few years ago. But wish Mads all the best. Top keeper.

I keep worrying that Cox is going to leave. Would be a real shame, if so. He's been great for us.

Young is a player who I have totally irrational dislike of. Would be great to see him have to face Abdul for 90 minutes! Still grinds my gears that for some unfathomable reason, Cooper decided against unleashing Abdul against him last season.

Not from 2018. We were brilliant in the first half of the 2019/20 season, winning 12 out of the first 16 games. You could argue that we were never the same after the 17th game that season, when we drew at home to bottom of the table Norwich.

They were saying he might have tweaked his hamstring. Hopefully nothing too serious.

Feel a bit sad he is leaving but we need the money and to reduce our outgoings. All the best, Wilf, and thanks for being a top player for us, especially in the period 2017-2021.

Not sure pace in behind is going to be that important in Marti's system and in any case most teams will be parking the bus against us.

Can't bear Everton - they've been so lucky staying in the PL for season after season despite being rubbish. Shame he's gone there but hope he does well personally.

Do we know why he's not starting? Was his injury that bad that they need to restrict his minutes this much?

Really hope Okoli gets a decent run of games now. He's a bit rough around the edges on the ball but his pace and physicality is just what we need. Plus he seems to be a good lad who is up for the fight. I know that should be a given, but with some of this squad it really isn't.

They will also have the new ball very soon in the morning. This will be close, I think.

Vesty over Nelson?

Has a test match ever turned around so dramatically within a day?

To manufacture the chance of a result, Kent needed to declare overnight. Can only think we would rather bank the points for a draw than risk losing by agreeing to set them a target.

I agree. It's the biggest playing area in the country, I think.

There was a chance to set up a run chase for Kent but it looks like we've decided against seeking to do that. Can't see why Kent wouldn't have been open to that with a declaration this morning.
