12 games in and it's been a good journey so far. The transformation from average championship team to a team holding their own and winning games in the PL is nothing short of a miracle. However, I think it's clear that we have hit our first crisis and for me questions have to be asked. Yes, we'v

I don’t have much to add to this as it says pretty much everything I would have done: when I was thinking about our defence last night I couldn’t get past the word “makeshift”... Some of the most improved players of the last couple of years - Dallas, Ayling, Klich, Alioski - were valued, in par

We are suffering from a very unfortunate positional double whammy: at CB we have 3 players (inc 2 big money international signings) out at the same time.and at LW we have 2 players whose confidence has suddenly taken a catastrophic crash. A lot has been written and said about Bielsa's geni

I doubt my views differ much from everyone else’s? I’ve just watched the game again, and we could have played all night and not scored. The performance seemed slightly better second time around, but our predictability gives teams plenty of warning on how to set up against us, and given most team

Bogusz is out on loan for the season ( seems to be doing ok)Already mentioned rule change re red card and pens  , not sure how last night was ' accidental ' but everyone seemed to agree a yellow was correct Players who commit a foul to deny a goalscoring opportunity will no longer automaticall

I think all this is totally expected. What wasn’t expected was our flying start to the season. We have done OK on balance so far. Compare us vs the bottom 4. But let’s be clear: despite MB being a footballing magician, he is still orchestrating very average Championship players in the best leag
