After 2 years of bad news regarding friends health this is wonderful. Keep strong Bobby.

We needed another fixture in October. It was looking a little light that month.

Really because that type if dining is really not my thing (I'd sooner cook than eat out) and it's actually more unhealthy than going to KFC (not that I've been in one of those for over 10 years). A Nando's wrap contains way more calories and 3 times the sugar of one from KFC.

Why is there always a question about Nando's? I'm pleased to say I've never been to one.

Provided they don't get raided in January and lose Brownhill or Cullen Burnley will win the league. Rodrigues aside, they may seem to lack the firepower of Sheffield United, Norwich and Watford but they have the best midfield and look a real team. I'm not sure who will go up automatically with them but again January dales/purchases might decide it. As things stand I'm not convinced by Norwich. They have players to come back but will need them. We could and probably should have won at Carrow Road as their midfield created very little. Nunez is decent but Cantwell is a show pony who really should have been booked on Wednesday. If they keep players fit I'd edge towards Sheffield United over Watford. At the other end being behind in both points and games and having to play catch up in an already congested season due to the World Cup may be too much for Coventry. They are certainly not being helped by Hamer having picked up 2 red cards already. If they don't get a bump from a new manager, Cardiff could go into free fall. As for the remaining place I'd like it to be Reading, but one from Birmingham, Huddersfield and Blackpool is more likely, although Rotherham could falter if Warne leaves.

3 from 3, cant do better than that. Early days but we are top of the league, we are top of the league.

No chance for Barton then? Hollow head?

Paul Hartley is next. He's been sacked by Hartlepool.

He has 5 bookings but one was in the league Cup. Does that not count towards suspension?

Maybe. I was just hoping for National League rather than NL North. Torquay could certainly do with a hand at the moment.

I'd hoped for a little better than Gloucester City but it's a start. Perhaps if he gets game time and does well he can make a further step up after January. At least its close so he can be made available for the U21s when required.

I won't be going anywhere near the England kits. I am totally adverse to blue on the home shirt but that's the worst England red shirt I've ever seen. The good news is that it won't be seen beyond the quarter finals.

For the first time in a long time I don't fear this team will fold, or fail to produce in games back to back. I'm convinced the players believe in the style of football they are playing and if they stick to their guns goals and wins will come. Although it may seem easier after your team has won it is still no small thing that Dean Smith was full of praise for our approach and play last night. I don't want to get carried away (and I know Nigel won't) but I'm feeling good about my prediction of a 10th place finish right now, and we might even improve on that.

Frustrating but overall the performance was good. Naismith made two individual errors in the first which was to cost us, and we conceded another set piece goal from a corner. However we matched Norwich all over the pitch and at times outplayed them, especially down the flanks where Sykes and Jay posed threats all night. Conway's headed goal from what seemed like the millionth cross was always coming and Semenyo's opportunist strike brought us back into a game we probably deserved to get something from. So as I said at the beginning I'm left a little frustrated but I can't be too critical of a performance that was another clear sign that progress is being made.

Well I'm going so I choose to be confident (but not overly). We need to stop them getting down our sides and in getting the ball to Josh Sargent as poses a real threat. I don't think they have the quality in midfield they've had previously but we'll see. Take a draw for certain.

So as 5 points is the one impossible tally from 2 games they're paying out on 6, not that generous then.

Presumably Saudi Arabia are providing the bung.

Thankfully so far I've managed to avoid both.

The Queen carried on right to the end. She didn't stop and neither should we.

This hits the right tone for me. As I've said earlier the Queen was a remarkable women who, whatever life through at her, never shirked from a sense of duty and loyalty and service to the nation, the British people and the Commonwealth. Right up to the end she was working, never stopping. I find it somewhat ironic therefore that in her memory the nation comes to a halt. I would rather honour her by following her example and carrying on.

As I said I have no problem in marking respect but why does it have to be so mournful. Why can't we cheer for the Queen, have a two minute applause etc. Isn't it Russia that plays mournful music all day when their leader dies. Practically too people will have committed funds for Saturday, especially Preston supporters.

I'm sad that the Queen has died and there is no doubting her service and loyalty to the nation, she was an amazing women. I don't see however while all sport should stop, except perhaps Horse Racing, during the period of mourning and lying in state before her funeral. She wasn't averse to having a good time so why can't we celebrate her life by giving her a rousing send off instead. Let's keep sport going and throw a party or two.

Devastating news. Prayers are with Marcus and his family.

I know it's early in the season and it doesn't really matter yet but it's still enjoyable that Boros 1-0 win tonight puts Cardiff in the bottom 3. And what about tonight's ref Darren Bond. Looks like he should be the drummer in a rock band led by Gareth Ainsworth.
