I wonder if it is worth giving GMac a few games playing as a false 9 instead of Kermogant, exploiting his pace and interchanging with the two wide forwards (hopefully meite would be one of them). It's actually a system which I could have seen Blackman or HRK enjoying playing in :o (noted Blackman d...

Thought we struggled get to grips with Rotherham's directness early doors and they caused us a few problems from corners in particular. After that we totally dominated the ball for the rest of the 1st half without going anywhere. Apart from a 5 minute spell midway through the 2nd half when Rotherham...

Anyone expecting top 6 this season I believe is deluded. Of course it should be something we should be striving for but with a pre-season of complete overhaul this has to be seen as a transition season. This is the biggest transition since the Coppell -> Rodgers season and we all saw what happened a...

Lots already mentioned but a couple of others:

Kebe v West Brom - fastest FA Cup goal ever.

The two Le Fondre scored v Leeds in the Championship winning season

Another defensively solid performance but I'm not sure if that was because of us or because they were dire. Either way a good result and into the next round! BBC RB coverage was incredibly positive about our defence. They never look like scoring however I think a lot of that was to do with how poor...

Good result, dire game. Nothing of note for pretty much the entire game. Only attempt on target by eeither sidewas the goal which was down to some decent build up and a good finish by Blackman. Cox as a lone striker doesn't work. He works hard but he gets dominated by centre halves in the air and th...

I'd keep it as close to Norwich as possible - try and build some momentum. Give Karacan 30 mins.

They've been advertising it on Sky Sports. Ok thanks - im guessing ITV have the Tuesday games this season then Celtic would have been on, but Kazakhstan is 4 odd hours ahead so the game was mid-afternoon. So they put Lewis on instead. It was on ITV 4. Watched it and they weren't great. Could enter ...

For as poor as he was 1st half on Saturday, Blackman looked liked a completely different player after his pen. Hopefully that was the confidence booster he needed.

Personally would go for same team as Bolton.

1. QPR
2. Reading

3. Watford
4. Forest
5. Bolton
6. Brighton

22. Doncaster
23. Yeovil
24. Blackpool

We go 1-0 down - ALF comes on with 10 mins to go, sets up the Pog for an equalizer in the 86th and then he wins a pen in stoppage time - Harte misses it but ALF sweeps in the rebound, cue pitch invasion, horses on the pitch etc.

Royals-lad14 stick with 4-5-1 for wigan or go 4-4-2 with alf playing up top with pog?

id preferably go 4-4-2

no thanks. 4-5-1. 4-4-2 near the end against tired legs.

People are forgetting the punishment we received with 4-4-2.

This.

McCleary or HRK for Blackman and Karacan for Legs.

Tottenham 4-6 Reading.

Payback.

Didn't Guthrie only start training yesterday? Haven't been out for a few weeks there is no way he will be fit for tomorrow. We need to be more solid. 4-4-2 away from home doesn't work. We were so narrow on Saturday that they were having a field day on wide. I'd go for: Federici Cummings Morrison Pea...

How we recover from this on Sunday will answer your question.

Names out of a hat. Seems like it'll be the same regardless who plays.

pea 26-26, a fair score for both teams

Is that after we go 18-0 up?

But what was the main stat, a certain how many times did the ball hit the back of the net? We did it 3 times, they did it 3 times. So for all the greater number of passes their midfielders or whatever made, the main stat, and the only stat that actually matters, we were level. We don't need a major...

Just out of interest - coul someone with access to that Opta stat jobbie let us know what Berbatovs pass completion rate was? I reckon it was double the nearest one of ours...? Berbatov had 63/71 completed passes. Our best was Ledge with 38/51... Fulham's best was Diarra with 83/95 pass completion ...

Who would you get in who would make it any better? Changing managers, backroom staff and the like really wouldn't do anyone any good. Remember Derby in 07/08?

McDermott is the right man and he WILL keep us up.
