Another game where we score a goal that nobody in the ground has a problem with and some bloke in a room 100 miles away picks out an innocuous incident to rule it out. We were dreadful and have clearly reached the point of the season where the impetus has gone and we're literally just...

This season, we've gone from GON being a PE teacher to being the one of the best coaches in the country. The truth is probably somewhere in between. He's okay, but you ain't going to be pulling up any trees. If he's still here in a couple of years time it will be a miracle in my book. Either...

Lots of 'nothing' football today. No intensity to our play apart from a short period in the second half after they scored. It seems like our players don't believe they can win anymore, so have just gone into their shells and are trying not to lose. A bit of individual brilliance or a clanger...

Went pretty much as expected. Decent effort but our squad can't withstand the number of absentees we currently have. The quality of our starting XI fell off a cliff, whereas they replaced their absentees with actual Premier league players. Despite that it was probably a 50/50 game overall but...

So who remembers Ryan Bennett at Bristol.. Moutinho at Manure.. Cardiff missing those penalties.. The 4-3 comeback v Leicester... Iwan Roberts v the ****... Don Goodman/Hans Segers v Leeds in a Cup QF no less. To appreciate the good times you've got to sit through the bad as well. In the grand...

A lot will depend on our ability to bounce against the Villa. Sticking it to the Brummies will be just the pick me up we need, but another thumping and I fear the flip flops will be out.

Congratulations to Coventry.. Easily the better side. Would have been daylight robbery if we'd have got away with the 2-1 victory that fleetingly looked likely. We are not a team that dictates games and when we are expected to, we falter with painful predictability. Lemina had one of if not his...

I'm using the squad.. Gomes has had a couple of fitness issues recently and this is an opportunity to give him a proper rest. We have an excellent replacement in Doyle who might also be better suited to unlocking a Coventry who may be looking to sit back and soak up pressure. Doc is just...

I wouldn't be risking Cunha in our current predicament, maybe a place on the bench for him if available. I'd also bring in Doc and play RAN further forward. Sa Semedo Kilman Bueno Toti Doherty Lemina Doyle Sarabia Fraser RAN Bentley Gomes Cunha Dawson Traore H Bueno + kids Just gotta get...

Not too bad a performance when you consider there was practically zero time to prep for the game. Play Wednesday, recover Thursday, travel Friday, play Saturday. With Newcastle playing their cup game a day earlier and not having to travel, this gave them a distinct advantage, particularly with...

Went pretty much as expected.. Brighton dominate possession without really troubling us, we get fleeting opportunities on the break and we took one of them. As mentioned, the potential injuries are a worry and I hope both Hwang and Gomes aren't too bad. But I'm not worried one bit about Tommy...

Yes I did think that.. If it becomes a thing, you'd see more blue at Brentford games than you would watching smurf porn.

If ever a club beat themselves it was us today. Atmosphere flat as a witches tit from the off. Team unable to get going. Semedo after some good play neededlessy giving away a corner which was then defended terribly (that's 3 games in a row we've conceded from a corner). Totally deflated by a...

Bukayo Saka.

I'm also guilty of watching this far too many times. So many highlights.. "Yuv gorra ****in snap him now... *******s!!!" was my personal highlight. Pretty much sums up the footballing culture down that cess pit.

With the Wolves fans in their end, you could understand a localised scuffle in the circumstances, but to have idiots running across the pitch to get involved is ridiculous. Then it seems at the other end, the realisation that their little hoodoo over us was coming to an end was just too much...

We were sloppy for the first half an hour with a few misplaced passes etc, but Albion hardly laid a glove on us. After that we took control and never looked like losing. Two good goals to see them off and it was job done. It didn't seem to have the intensity of previous Derbys, it was just a...

Yes, all the baggies I have contact with are coming out with the same line as if saying 'you should beat us' somehow gets them out of jail for being the big steaming pile of **** that they are. For the record, damn right we should beat them. They've been a nothing club for decades and just...

They didn't even come up with that... Blackburn fans were calling Burnley fans 'dingles' way before they copied it.

Once people find out you've got a AST you can bet the next thing they say to you is "if ever you're not going, I'll have your ticket?". So there'll be a lot of people doing favours for their mates. The previous system used to force AST's to buy most of their tickets even if they couldn't go...
