Worst: Orr and/or Murphy vs (I think) Ipswich under Appleton. Best: I have to say Rio Ferdinand vs Man Utd, assisting in our 4-3 victory. Also seem to recall a game where we beat Charlton. Think it was Curbishley’s last game for them as manager and it transpired Nelsen had been playing with a broken leg.

Equally, when I saw your initial next to the bold topic title, I thought Chadster had returned!

After today’s performance, should we play this team next? Raya. Bennett. Rodwell. Lenihan. Bell. Rothwell. Reed. Travis. Armstrong. Dack. Graham.

Motm is a stretch, but he certainly played better than he was before suspension. I think Smallwood focusing on the defensive side would allow Trav more freedom to roam forward looking for the passes. I only say Smallwood because Reed will be right wing though.

Hang on, you mean he’s better than that? First time I saw him last night and I haven’t been so excited about an academy player since Jones’ debut!

First time I’ve seen Travis play. Wow.

Damage was done conceding early really. We matched them up until 90mins, and possibly would’ve won if we hadn’t had a makeshift defence. At least one can in this window please, or start introducing Grayson or Wharton or Magloire (sp?)

Gutting that. 15 mins to get penalties.

Amazed Graham’s lasted the distance tonight. I’d look at gambling Butterworth in the second 15 (if not before).

Really? Didn’t know that.

Personally think we’ve been the better side all half (even in conceding).

That’s his name isn’t it? David Raya Martin.

Read my mind

Open defence

Brave side by the looks of it!

Nearly me and my dad. My boss let me have an extra 30mins lunch to get tickets, as long as I finished 30mins late. But we’re now in Park Inn waiting for the bus.

If he costs us £10m+, that means he’ll have performed... bring it on, Ben!

And Savage, Nelsen, Samba, Dunny...

Fergie said similar once, too. Something like ‘If he was 10 years younger, I’d have him’. Very rare that he would so enthusiastically praise an opposition player.

Fantastic tennis player, World #1 when in direct competition against 3 of tennis’s all time best players (Federer, Djokovic, Nadal), Olympic Gold, a grand slam or two, and most importantly... A good guy of the sport, standing up for the women’s game against sexism. The two best examples are having a female coach (and repeatedly having to defender her from slurs by other men in the sport; and the correction of a journalist with the phrase ‘Male player’ when they’d seemingly forgotten that women exist.

I’d personally be all for a Marshall return, if it’s to right wing.

Points are given for various offences. 300 within a certain amount of time (month? Week?) leads to a 30day ban. Though that has been surpassed apparently so chads should be able to post.

Eat, drink, and be merry? Nah! Get fat, get pissed, and be as silly as you like. Enjoy yourselves as best as you can and help others less fortunate to do the same Hope ‘non-gender specific holiday mythical character’ bring you what you want!

Hughesy’s first Jan window (Savage, Mokoena, Nelsen) is the only one I can think of.

Outs (if the above occur): One of Bell/Williams. Downing Smallwood (perm) or Travis (loan) Samuel Gladwin RB cover ought to be someone relatively senior to Nyambe. Glen Johnson? (Free) Anthony Vanden Borre? (Free)? Also Kurm (Huddersfield), Pinto (Norwich), Kelly (Palace), Baptiste (QPR) could be reasonable targets who are out of contract in summer 2019.
