buzzing that we've got Mipo Odubeko on loan after watching some vids - that old classic. Apparently we bid £2m and were told not a chance. Some West Ham fans don't seem happy he has been farmed out as their only outright 9 is Antonio. He's only 18 but so is Colwill and he's improved our defence immeasurably and scored a last minute winner.

getting £11m waste of space Mbenza off the wage-bill and O'Brien into new contract negging and despite not spending any transfer fees, it's been the best transfer window in years.

We beat York at their place last season too, when they were top of the league.
A missed penalty and then a miskick by their keeper seems to have been enough to sink them. Sounds like it was quite an open game, but only a couple of clear-cut chances each.

happy for Sorba to get his first full Welsh cap. But playing him as a fullback and not letting him near the set-pieces and especially when Wilson/James were wasting them all is a criminal waste of his talent.

I had a very fun day in Lincoln for L2 playoffs first leg fixture. We won 2-1 and the own goal winner was credited to the barely perceptible touch of Iffy Onuora. Had a delicious vegetarian sausage sandwich at a cafe and drinks at a hotel bar that was owned by a Sikh family and they were excellent hosts. And then we got to laugh at some bitter L66ds fans on the train back who were returning from a 4-0 thrashing at Stamford Bridge and had just been relegated from the prem. I miss going on those happy drunken away trips.

I am looking forward to dear old Yemsy’s interview. I’m guessing he won’t be terribly pleased with the ref. (They went one up, looked like they’d won a pen shortly after, ref booked their striker for diving, he’d already had a soft yellow. I’d have been furious. Oh dear, how sad, never mind.)

"I had the fourth official telling me ‘you keep whinging’, well get things right. If I don’t get it right I get sacked, they get to go on to their next game. Useless.

no not really, but I'm confident we'll be midtable by jan/feb. There is only so far being quite defensively solid can get you, all the attacking players are out of form/lacking confidence - it's a rum game when you are relying on Hogg to score. Lol maybe Jordan Rhodes will come back from injury and show us the player Bruce wanted to chuck Grealish in a ditch for!

their long winning run after losing 5-6 games on the bounce with Hughton started at our place, but then we had a classic 1-0 against the run of play smash and grab at their place and then got beaten by them in the cup.
