Sheff Weds defending has been absolutely shocking. Cracking game and atmosphere though and Sheff Utd look good.

Agree, the club really should be doing something to honour Terry in a permanent manner. Bit before my time but have watched the clips and read the stories about TC and what he did for our club and the effect our club in turn had on him. He's quite rightly revered by many and we need to honour that respect as a club if we possibly can.

Agree. There are Neanderthals everywhere and in all walks of life. Football or not. It's a bit strange though isn't it that there seems to be more need at your dump to send out these reminders to your fans in comparison to other clubs?

Fantastic report as always mate. Things are looking good like you say. Fair play and well done to LJ and the team, long may it continue.

Think 9's a distinct possibility given our form at the moment. Would be happy with that.

Great draw - very happy with that. Home draw. Chance for another scalp against a Prem team who will be under massive pressure to perform. Looking forward to it. Bring it on!

As fantastic as the start has been (and it has) and as good as the actual football that's being played is, it's the improvements off the pitch especially in LJs demeanour that are giving me most hope. Last year there was blame and persistent platitudes coming out at every corner from him. Wild celebrations on the pitch if we won and quickly running off the pitch if we lost. Talk of Europe in 5 years. Cringeworthy online media (see the interview with the two coaches). Things like that grated me a lot. However, this year LJs demeanour seems to have changed. He seems more level headed as it stands. And the club does also. The true test of course will come when we do go on a downturn (as we inevitably will) but I think the signs are good, that LJ and the team have learnt from last season and I'm feeling positive. Long may it continue.......

Yeah I gave him a clap for exactly that reason. He seems a bit of a dying breed. He's the antipathy of the 'modern day footballer', has had a great career, is funny and self deprecating and was great for England whenever called upon. Seemed the right thing to do at the time! I did get a few strange looks though but sod it!

Personally thought it was a very very good and very vocal turnout last night and we did ourselves proud both on and off the pitch. It was a cracking night of football. Anyone that thinks that teams like Stoke, WBA, Everton etc don't take this cup seriously are wrong. Maybe the big 4/5 don't but with a Euro spot at stake and little chance of silverware elsewhere this cup does still mean something.

Oh the irony of that haha!!

Fair play mate. Indeed they are becoming a more usual sight and when I see them at Temple Meads or at the Airport for example I generally think little of it. I guess the point I was trying to make originally (not very well evidently!) is that I've not seen them before at AG so it made me wonder if there was a specific reason they were there other than the heightened risk after the further attacks in London last week.

I KNOW! Blimey, cool your boots. My sincerest apologies if me finding the sight of police brandishing automatic weapons unnerving ANNOYS YOU. Not a usual thing is it. But THANK YOU anyway!

Well yes, obviously. Still, was an unusual sight to see.

Yeah. Was pretty unnerving seeing that walking in!

Good forum to be fair - although of course not a patch on OTIB! Most of the posters seem realistic and were complimentary about us. I liked this comment in particular: 'although I don't see any brilliant teams in the Champ, I see improvements in a lot of average teams. (Wolves, Bristol City, Cardiff etc).' Although it's not a massive endorsement in shows that we are now getting noticed at least. Really good to see other teams fans recognising us and comparing us with the like of Wolves and Baaadiff, recent Premier League teams, and that they are obviously seeing an improvement in our set up.
