Sidwell wants to come back apparently. Not sure where he fits in unless Williams and Tish aren't in Brian's preferred midfield

Agreed, looks disinterested to me There were several occasions last game when he made little or no effort to get into the box as a an attack developed on the left. Think we would now be better off without him Yep, made exactly the same comment at the game. Earlier in the season he was busting his n...

Doesn't Gunter play as one of three centre backs for Wales these days as Jazz Richards plays right back?

I think the buyout clause was mentioned in one of the tabloids back at the time, but can't be bothered to search for it

Not even on the bench tonight when Shackell goes off injured Didn't watch it, was it a bad injury? Shackell is immense so could be a huge boost if he's missing for our game in a couple of weeks. Oh who am I kidding, their first choice eleven could be injured and we'd still lose. Nah, looked like. M...

yes

Pearce not even in his usual beach position tonight for Derby,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,well you never know ?? Maybe he is on the beach?? Seriosuly, Pearce partnering McShane might be pretty decent actually. Pearce always played better alongside a more experienced centre back rather than as the experienced ce...

In, though being entertained by a bunch of Derby fans so expect I'll be in with the prawn sandwich brigade

Not even on the bench tonight when Shackell goes off injured

Longhorn1970 Sadly I don't think the owners could resist £5m plus

That would be like getting 4m for Sean Morrison. Good business.

I was watching our "set up" for corners yesterday and it's a bit all over the place really. Watching other teams, they have a definite plan (sometimes you see everyone stood together, etc). Yesterday, we had three players inside the six yard box, and only McShane and Hector attacking the b...

1 goal in 12, and his old attitude has returned. I'd cash in asap. I still don;t know what his best position is, but it isn't as a winger and it isn't as a centre forward. No 10 free floating forward perhaps? if so, get rid of Vydra and Piazon and keep him?

1. Williams
2. Blackman
3. Gunter

I think we'll see the ball played into the channels a bit more with Brian at the helm. This will help to turn a defence, rather than our constant trying to pass our way through a 9 man defence. We also need to start scoring from set pieces to help relieve the pressure on the forwards.

It's probably Sa's lack of pace that Brian doesn't fancy, and why he threw Liburd on yesterday. Brina probably thinks he's the Pog 2.0 and doesn't want to go down that route again.

Anyone still think that we were robbed by only getting £4m for Hector and not the £8m some were demanding for what is a pretty average Championship centre half? I'd say £4m was about his value, but given Hammond and his worth to us £6/7/8m was about right for an asking price for anyone but the big ...

^^ This ^^
except I might be tempted to give McCleary a run instead of Blackman

Pudding

No embargo for us

In a 4-4-2, we need wide men who will do their share of defensive work. It's incredible to think Vydra wouldn't be one of the front two, and I'd feel uncomfortable starting John in such a set-up. So, if we use 4-4-2, I think Hurtado will find himself behind only McCleary and HRK Well, John was used...
