Cheers Clive for all the research. Mark Hughes could learn a thing or two from you about the definition of the word 'meticulous'. Interesting to see PNE and BC, normally perennial flirters with promotion, flirting at the wrong end of the table. Can't see it myself; two wily old foxes in charge. Another wily old fox, McCarthy will keep Cardiff in the top half but I can't see them in the promotion mix. There are a lot of good/experienced championship managers, managing poor teams so they will earn their corn this year. |  | | |

Cheers Clive. I'm in the camp that Luton might be in the play off hunt this season.
Also a big thank you to the Derby contributor, an honest & realistic take on the problems his club is facing. | | | |

Beautifully written, laughed regularly, especially over the Derby stuff. Had missed the story about their would-be-owner pretending to own a house by stealing a video he found on TikTok. Truly, lost for words...
One line I hadn't seen mentioned before: that we were offered Wells on loan over the summer. Do you know why we turned it down please? Were we expected to pay all his wages? I'd have thought Naki back here and it would start to get really, really hard to argue against us for promotion... | | | |

Was quite something extending Pearson's deal to 3 years in the middle of that Bristol City slide. Almost surprising to remind yourself there's still a top half side's amount of talent on the books there, if they can stay fit and give a monkeys.
van den Berg is back on loan for the season at Preston BTW.

Last summer City were touting him around, recognising they'd gone in over their head with the deal and he didn't fit in the team. | | | |

As Leeds fans like to point out, they were fined twice as much for observing Derby training from a public path as Derby were for cooking the books for years. | | | |

Oh apologies I misread, last summer.
Hardly surprising he is so poor for them, being played as a right sided midfielder.
Prob guilty of being a bit of a fan-boy when it comes to Naki but think he would offer a little something different to our two centre forwards. Speed for example. Still, appreciate in these budgetary depleted times we can't rack and stack strikers ala Warnock for, as I think you termed it, "sh*ts and giggles". | | | |

Yeah, having no provision or commitment to playing to Wells' strengths has been an infinitely greater sin than the splashy outlay for him. | | | |

Wells was great for us at the time, but not all of the time. I don't think he'd be a good deployment of resources for us now and Austin's a better acquisition anyway. |  |

Interesting stuff Norf......Fook knows how you worked it all out!!! Tough for sure.
A few I am I have different feelings about......Luton, Millwall, Barnsley much lower down the division. WBA, Forest, Hull, Derby much higher.
As for the R's......not far off and good with me. | | | |
