He has to because he has no bloody protection.

We need our one half decent central-midfielder-converted-to-centre-back, urhm, back.

...and it’s over.

Chapman expected to start for the U23s tomorrow. Lets hope he lasts longer than the last time ?

Downing lining up against Palace in a few minutes..

Officially our worse run since Coyle. Good times.

"Blackburn have had their opportunities" as the graphic shows our one attempt on target.

Is Lenihan back yet?

We have so many bloody midfielders but we apparently don't have any on the pitch. At least looking a bit better since the change. More needed at HT. EDIT: Well there goes that. Dis-fucking-graceful

...and it's over.

The League One matches were generally a good time. Peterborough at home was a belter for its significance. Those Dack / Graham celebrations were worth it.

I echo concerns about our fitness levels, so I'm not too optimistic about a midweek game.

Gallagher straight back out of the Southampton squad. Top trolling ?

See you all Friday.

? Sticking around, then?

Annesley in. 2 and a half year deal.

He's no Danny Graham though, is he?

I don't know why but I find the potential of a Gallagher return quite cathartic. I remember the sight of him throwing himself in to everything in the last game for us, and the shot of him in the tunnel watching the end of the Birmingham game to see our fate confirmed. He had a home club to fall back on but he was playing for the shirt he had on at the time. In a sense it feels like Mowbray getting the chance to replay that season from the start and doing it his way - and right now it's working wonders. Plus hoovering up all these England youth players isn't to be sniffed at, I guess. Yes, yes, paying for "potential" and all that but we're in a good position so if they're willing to buckle down, work hard and wait for their chance to shine then why not?

Worked on Armstrong.

That Nixon fella claims fee agreed for Chappers.

I suspect, injuries permitting and potential additions pending, we'll be seeing this once we're "safe." TM's trajectory for sure.

He was an effective impact sub to have - as was TM's preference for using him before the armchair critics got their way. I think, if fit, he would be worth having just for that. An extra option of pace and creativity on the bench.

Stuart Donald looked like he would have been more than happy for them to keep filming - especially for a potential bounce back. We know how 'feel good' that is.

GOOD LAD

Every result now going our way around us. Need to hold this lead. EDIT: Naturally Bristol just scored as soon as I posted
