you know what it shouldn't be but you'd not put it totally past us.

Out of contract in the summer so it won't be much you would imagine.

It's awful. I wouldn't be bothering if they weren't a rival. Think West Ham is about the only one worse I can think of.

Particularly when we're hardly in a position of strength on this topic as well.

Even at the time of signing it wasn't really a priority position. We had other pressing matters but we made him top priority for some reason. Bloke's an absolute dud. He's had one decent season in his career and by decent, I mean a functional player in a well organised side. The odd nice bit of technique has conned many.

Yet another who could've so easily been remembered far more fondly than he will be. Really is remarkable how badly that side fell to bits. You'd never have believed it were possible.

This'll sell in no time. Small allocation and pretty easy to get to.

Hull have got a quite decent side together. Fair play.

I'd have liked it to work for him but I can't really knock him or Maresca for this - difference of opinion and neither of them pissed around getting something sorted.

Small sample size but that's a very decent profile.

In fairness if there's one thing I'll give these clowns it's that they don't try any of this boring bullshit like Forest and Derby do. They're a lot more honest about it, at least. Coventry second for me behind Forest.

Said it on the last page, our ends really are so so random. I can't quite pinpoint where we'll be good or not. I was in genuine amazement in Madrid. Couldn't believe how pitifully bad it was.

I see Nuno moaning because Midlandspool have got to play a replay. Try beating 'Blackpool at home' first time then.

They went far stronger than us relatively and we still got the win. Perfect outcome really as plenty of key players did get that rest ahead of Coventry and we got progression. Like I said prematch, win the game, getting out of the cup shouldn't be a priority. The bookies make us the same chance of getting promoted as Man City finishing in the top 4. I'd sooner an easier tie to go further into it. The whole logic about having a PL team as a test is one I agree with, but I feel in terms of a test you're going to get a more accurate reflection in a later round anyway. 9 wins in 11. Lovely.

Horrid lack of new grounds left in that for me. Only four (Maidstone, Eastleigh, Bristol Rovers & Wrexham) and of those, only two of them are definitely through.

Atletico Madrid for me. Given the context of the fixture it was an embarrassment.

Shrewsbury or Wrexham away. New ground for me and very winnable.

Yeah my expectations for it are very low unfortunately. I'll believe it when it happens.

Generally believe this is the big problem with Liverpool as well (although for god sake please do not go up their route). It happens to them more because of how they react.

Yep. Had my car broken into once and they weren't bothered. Lost a drill that belonged to work but that was it. Wasn't a major incident but it's definitely more worth police time than this. Realised back then how upside down their priorities are.

puts paid to my theory that today was going to be a better end than Coventry. Although maybe it doesn't, worryingly. Apparently nothing is truly random, but with our fans and how good an away end is, it really really is. We're often crap when we should be good and vice versa.

Coventry won less games last season than we've won already this season

It's not all that bad really.

His 2020/21 season at Lille is looking very much the exception rather than the norm. He hasn't been any good at Sevilla either.

We do need a signing now. I think we probably needed a number 8 anyway and now we do for sure.
