Collymore

Could it be it's a Sunday and no one's at work?

Doubt it. I wouldn't imagine even we'd stoop to the depths of have a blacklist of birthdays.

Any news on Faes transfer? @hfaes

Plastic.

The coaches are s**t. Marti and Calm more worried about their CV than taking a chance more like.

It's just so illogical and annoying. 1. We're desperate for a goal scorer and it looks like we're not going to be able to sign anyone decent. Evans is the most prolific player not only at our club at development level, but in the whole development league recently. 2. Marcel and Ayew are likely to be leaving at the end of the season, yes, Ayew should be still a member of the first team coming on and seeing out games, but Marcel should be no where near the squad if he's off soon. 3. We know what S.Thomas brings. A bit of pace and he looks okay but what's this obsession with him over Evans all the time? I wonder if because he's "A Chelsea youth" we're somehow clinging to the hope he'll have more resale value maybe? It's the only logical explanation I can think of. It really winds me up as one of the clubs priorities to improve (and there's lots of them) is to score more goals and sort a striker and they don't think it's even an idea to try our prolific young attacker. What's even more annoying is when you see countless other clubs playing 16/17 yo players who are bagging and we have the best of the lot but we still bring on Ayew and start Daka! We deserve to be liquidated.

Sunderland or Newcastle away.

Hilarious that some people think we have the new Pirlo because of a performance against a struggling L2 team. Some people have short memories and have forgotten his honking performances V QPR, Watford and Sheff Utd recently... Consistency is key, and we can expect a decent game off him at times but there's too many game he looks the pits still. Rewind 15 years or so, remember that midfield of Williams and Hughes? Both on their day could look good but ultimately they were mid to low Championship quality because of lack of consistency. Skipp reminds me of one of them. Give me a limited Skipp trying his hardest over a Winks or Soumare any day of the week. I'd do a 400 mile round trip to watch Hughes and Williams no problem as they were decent pros, as I would with Skipp.

Couple of mistakes but he also did a lot of good that I think some take for granted. He's a Rolls-Royce.

All of the poor performances and subs etc aside, it's just his general persona and the rancid culture he's built He comes across like an absolute wet wipe too. Can't wait to see the back of him even if we do make playoffs.

Is that the Cheltenham or Leicester fans singing "you're just a s**t Jordan Thomas" to Luke?

Luke Thomas and Hamza are limiting us so much.

Moan moan moan moan moan

These low grade commentators speak some s**t don't they? They do a little internet research on the players/club beforehand and then form opinions that are so far from reality.

Absolute sensational goal from Mav there

Hamza with the old Roberto Carlos shot without the bend.

I thought it hit the bar in real time and replay as the quality is so bad!

Tamanamamana patson Daka wohuoyaia tamanomanomo ananamow he comes from Zambia!

I've got the one where NASA has loaned the 1969 Moon landing AV equipment.

Daka's shot like a 5yo down the park where you as a dad have to pretend you're having to actually make a save!

Cotterill taking notes "Target that Luke Thomas"

The shadows on the pitch look like it's frost!

Just come on and suddenly cut to a mattress ad!

Everyone else just got a TNT logo?

Oddly, the potential of not seeing Marti's select 11 has made me a bit more excited for this one. It's going to be Daka up top though isn't it! If Evans could get on the pitch I hope he can force himself into the reckoning going forward. I think Evan's very quiet pre-season has done more damage than we all realised at the time. He's got to take any chances he gets now.
