3 games in its still fixable with a goalscorer. Fingers crossed for that but we won't be the only club looking. 

Draw, win, defeat, repeat. We are 14th and thats where we will finish at the end of the season.

We need to push whatever FFP limits we can to get in a quality creative midfielder IMO.

Leaving it very late.

Sounds like once again we're playing all the right players but not necessarily in the right places, to paraphrase Eric Morecombe.

Also made an important block at 0-0 last week before our winner. 

Other than that though, some very sad people need to have someone they can direct their anger at, it seems they want that person to be Cornick regardless of his contribution.

The winner of this years Steve Torpey award is ...

I don't see a lot of goals in this one today. 1-0 to us with a few cards shown.

I think we're gonna be real frugal with any money from Scott sale. Can't see anything more than a couple of million being spent. 

Might be best to keep the money until January. Most teams are still capable of making the playoffs in this league when the new year starts.

Not a disaster, just a reality check.

Looking very tidy…

is it time for the Championship is a tough league cliche?

Bit early. It's a marathon not a twix.

Good save Max, after they too easily break on us

The defensive work has been a big positive so far. I'm happy if we keep clean sheets.

Not entirely sure we should have expected them to come out of the traps firing on all cylinders. 

We have been strong in defence...defended well at times. 

Midfield constantly looks for the options to the left....Tanner always on space on the right but this avenue requires  Cornick to not be sucked more centrally to give him a decent option to pass to....currently Tanner has no option but to pass back.  The right is congested.. Bell is covered as soon as the ball is played to him.

Knight looking lively....good couple of turns and playing to Feet in thr final third (albeit once).

Need a decent play maker in the mid-field....not non-existent but non- effective at present.

Positives....Still 0-0 all to play for. 

COYRS

I'm no expert on Preston but I think they do tend to stifle teams and hope for a goal.

The good news is we're 8th.

It's very Pearson isn't it.

He does like a utility font.

Fair enough.

Can I also take this opportunity to credit the choice of font and layout used here. It's clear, clean, and makes sense. A huge improvement over the serif curly thin font nonsense we had at the end of last season.

Workmanlike.

Were we ahead?

Yeah until the 96th minute.

Roy Hodgson’s record was worse.

And Coppell.

Mick McCarthy’s available.

To play in defense?

 Can we still stop at 4.45 ref?

He’s not in Dubai, He’s not in Dubai , He's Kasey Palmer, He’s not in Dubai ...

The squads like Guinness. Needs time to settle.

A clean sheet would be a pleasant surprise. Anything more a bonus.

Massengo has just driven into the car park.

 

He actually feinted to go down Duckmoor Rd then reversed past the Fulham coach looking like he was going to do some shopping in Asda before doing a handbrake turn into his space. Good omen.

Bugger we were 20/1 to win and I was tempted.

I’d rather it came now than in the 89th minute or something. Twice in a week would be a sickener.

It'll be stone cold Charlie Austin the man who turns slower than a tanker in the Suez canal.
