Peers in to the Stadium thread hoping there might be some actual stadium chat... But nope. Same old chat about state of the club. Keep it to those other threads people. Jeez! Semper Eadem

Jesus three games people and we are not on zero points with only a couple of goals goal-diff against those three opponents. So much better than I was expecting before start of the season. We are making progress. I mean would you switch places with Everton or Southampton or Ipswich. Happy days!!! 🎉 Somewhere between 14th to 17th place here we come...

Won't be buying a shirt this year. Really fed up with the whole Prem. Quicker the new gov bring in independent regulator to sort out things like this the better...

Captain Wout tonight! Well deserved after a sound season. Zero chance that will shut the haters up on this thread though...

Maybe not of this club... but has the potential. We've needed a leader in our back four since Evans left he's clearly trying to step up. I love that.

Yeah I'd argue what worked was Daka not doing his job at a corner super early in the game. It looked like Faes really worked himself up about that. Great passion and motivation from the guy. Charging about higher up the pitch more too. He did a dribble, run down the byline and cross in the Bristol City game at one point. Motivating others. Future captain of a team no doubt.

Fair point to a degree - except he's slower than he used to be. I just think, of the two, IF we get promoted I'd be much happier with Verstergaard leaving (than Faes).

I agree. I think he's been playing really well recently. Now VesterPANTS, in my view that's a different story. Both fine for Championship. I think Vestergaard needs to prove himself in the Prem though. He just doesn't have the pace nor strength anymore. Big Wes never had the pace but he made up for it in other areas especially strength and blocking. I don't think Vestergaard has that anymore.

Yes

Genuinely felt he had a great game and important influence in first two goals. He's been a bit more of a marauder of late. Ploughing up the pitch and winning the ball back high in oppo half. Really made a difference against Norwich. He was also rightly absolutely pissed off with Daka not tracking the run for their goal. He roared which you can pick up in the highlights link. Great game winning performance. P.S. The ' ironic' but completely unfunny cheering re forward passing is not something we should do... Especially when it's that more considered slower play that has got us towards top of the table anyway. By all means think it in yr head but that doesn't mean you do it out loud. Embarrassing.

Great news!!!

Les Ferdinand's headed equaliser during preseason against KTP at the mighty Arto Tolsa Areena, Kotka, Finland. A bit niche - but glorious all the same...

It's really strangely done isn't it. Even so I think we could be doing more and as davieG says I hope the club and of course plans for new stadium think through these issues in a bit more detail.

If only we got points for that we'd be streets ahead of Spurs and the rest!
