Nice goal

Superb assist by O’Hare

Oh I fully agree a norm need not be adhered to, without that outlook there can be no innovation. On the flip side it is just this innovation that delivers playing out from the back, something that is statistically valid, even if not to everyones taste.

You are even more of a contrarian then me, fair play This is the way the game has evolved, lure them in, disrupt their shape and take advantage. More of a chess game than you may like, but it's fairly standard these days.

Would you watch if it were Rudkin?

..and would rather Barry Bannan was not adjudged to be eligible.

Siege mentality is a powerful thing, depends if they have it.

Is that an entry requirement?

Me likey

Your mood in 10 words? Standard new season optimism, but inflated by Cifuentes and prospect of youth integration Where will we finish? 5th How many points will we be deducted? 9 Who will be our most important player? Not here yet Who will be top scorer? Ayew What are you most excited about? The perceived direction What are you most worried about? Not much What’s one thing you most want to see this season? Effort and rigour Which player is going to surprise us? Skipp Which player do you most want out the door? Can I pick 2? Fine, Soumare then (secretly Winks) Which player linked with a move are you most desperate to keep? Fatawu Will Martí Cifuentes still be the manager this time next year? Yes

Being away will help Wednesday on Sunday, as what’s going on at home will be a distraction, that and the fighting for themselves along with the club could make the opening a little fraught. But, suspect @Guppys Love Child could be right and they blow themselves out after 30 minutes and take control to a comfortable win.

Aren’t they under a ‘no more than 7k wages’ restriction, rather than an out and out ban?

Although I don’t think a draw should be acceptable, I also doubt this will be the cake walk some seem to expect. Strongly suspect whoever plays for Wednesday will be up for it (makes zero sense not to be)

Those 2 Birmingham subs were pukka.

The first half

Ipswich should be concerned after this, but maybe it’s just the first game.

Ok, I will bow to your knowledge oh person who thinks Mads is the bestest ever keeper and we should have held out for his 90m value.

I have no idea what your are chuntering on about tbh

Think you might need to check your records on that.

Wondered how much appetite they would have, and I am not convinced much so far.

Depends if Brum can keep the tempo up for 90 minutes every game

No Morsy no party.

Always wary of teams who are in trouble, as it may well breed spirit rather than despair.

Watching that, the PSR Gods adding another zero.
