I would expect Scott to command a higher transfer fee than Semenyo.

If Conway scores more than 20 goals this season, which he is well on course to do, he could be worth more than both of them.

Well I’ll row against the tide.  I’d rather watch a boring 1-0 win than an exciting 3-2 loss.  
 

The problem is, as we all know, we don’t have the players to play for a 0-0 draw, with the hope of nicking it at the end.  Whether Nige will change the style of play, when he has the financial leeway to bring in a few defenders,  remains to be seen.

That six wins on the spin, Norwich commentators say we gave them their biggest test so far this season. We were worth a point. A season or two back we would have lost that 6-0. On to Burnley.

Tempting fate, but Burnley were far from impressive last night.  If, and that’s an enormous if, we can cut out the defensive mistakes, we can go there and win.

Boos ringing out from the home fans after they've been desperately whistling for time, what a great performance by city

Shame we gifted them 2 goals and can’t defend corners.  But yes, proud of the resilience and overall effort.

A match sharp Antoine will give this Norwich defence the absolute Barry Whites.

Kai Naismith 2 Bristol City 0

My prediction:  it won’t finish 0-0.

Early days I know but it’s looking ominous for the few, bought in a shit load of players, struggling to beat poor teams at home, joey Barton being joey Barton.. how devastating. They come across a league where 95% of teams have better infrastructure bigger support they struggle.. always been the way 

Like Forest they got promoted off the back of loan players, and like Forest they’re doomed to relegation.

Pity it was only 2-0.  Still two relegations to the basement league in three years is still very much on.

For those desperate for a bit of football, The Argentine Super clásico Boca v River kicks off at 9.  You’ll get a stream if you Google Redit soccer streams and scroll down.

Rangers v Napoli, and Napoli v Rangers.

Neither will have away fans. The latter because there won't be Napoli fans at this weeks game, linked to logistics and policing and deemed sporting integrity respectively.

Just as well.  Naples is a great city to visit as a tourist, but I wouldn’t visit there as an away support under any circumstances.

The funeral is to be a week on Saturday, so the Burnley game will certainly be postponed, or moved to the Sunday.  The OS says the club awaits notice from the EFL about this weekend’s game.

I’m disappointed.  I thought this was going to be a thread about Flashdance.

Only criticism is Wells who has been poor.

Come on Nige give Antoine a full 45 mins.

Antoine buries that.

Burnley should have put that to bed in the 2nd half. WBA are so wasteful in the final third. A draw is a good result for the rest of the division. 

Should have had a second pen.  Stonewall handball.

Yeh it’s defo not on robins tv. God knows why they put that image on after the game last night. 

Now confirmed on the OS that the game will not be streamed on RTV.

Bummer.

Before we get carried away with the self congratulation, may I remind everyone that last year we only took 3 points out 36 against the clubs who finished in the top 6, and have yet to play a team who are likely to finish in this year’s top 6.  

We will have a much better idea of the merits of this squad in a few weeks, when we play Norwich and Burnley away.

A load of points incoming because we have a really good squad as it is- not perfect, not complete but the best strike force in...errr... ever(?) - pretty much and a defence that should be able to keep out less goals than we can score.

Sorry if you got excited but we are where we are and it ain't bad.

We'll know more about where we are after the away games at Norwich and Burnley.  Until then I reserve judgement.

Everton are pushing for Brereton-Diaz today so that makes Semenyo leaving less likely, one less club IMO.

Plus think Brereton-Diaz is ahead of him in the striker pecking order so I'm not too worried about this window.

Good.  One less problem to worry about on Saturday.

Shut the bloody window now

Or at least pull the curtains.

Hari Kari almost.

Ordinary for 30mins than turned up the heat.

They look dangerous on the break.  Feel we will need a second.

Speaking of weird stats in the Championship tonight - BBC website reporting the Cardiff-Luton attendance as 7,202. That has to be a typo, surely? I know they’ve been poor and typically have a fair few empty seats, but 7,000?!?

Their own website doesn’t have a figure so I’m not seeing it contradicted anywhere. 

Sky showing the same attendance.  Strange.
