Missed the game, but saw the stats and highlights. The concern when we got the early goal was that we would just low block and play on the counter, we don’t really have the team for it as we struggle to hold the ball up in the final third. It can often look disjointed. I think our defensive...

Warne has been aggrieved by the lack of business, so I don't think it's on him. It's ultimately led to an interview today where he has said that he isn't confident that we are able to do what we need to in transfer window with what little time we have left. We've missed out on a number of 'top...

Potts would be a good signing, liked him at Wycombe last season. I think we seem to have given up, we haven’t had a new link to a player in almost three weeks. Nothing genuine anyway, with the club reaffirming that it’s just the loan market for us now. We already have two in Yates and Ozoh...

I was just going based on Twitter comments, to be honest. I was surprised really, because I think our u21 side is still pretty undercooked from administration and have largely been the whipping boys for the most part since then as we lost a lot of good academy players during that time, most of...

Not our first team, but looks like our u21s beat a strong-ish Preston side who played infront of their new coaching staff and involved most of the fringe players today. I have no idea who played for us, all I know is that Dejaune Brown and Max Bardell scored the goals, but seemed to be a lot of...

I’m genuinely intrigued where Preston go from here, because there’s a supporter demand for more expansive football - irregardless of the risk. Brian Barry-Murphy is the favourite, I’ve just checked and he was the manager of the City u23s who came to Derby in the paint trophy and handed us...

Well, I’ll be damned! A gritty 1-0 win against a Middlesbrough side, who have so much strength in depth and quality. Two injuries in the first-half to our back four, a referee who was desperate to give Middlesbrough everything he could, but we made sure to reduce the quality of their chances...

Middlesbrough at home tomorrow, can't say I'm particularly thrilled about the prospect. Every dog has his day, of course, but I hold very little hope.

We've finally confirmed our first choice keeper after waiting a while - Jacob Widell Zetterstrom. He goes into the history books as the most expensive keeper we have ever signed. It sounds big, but it really isn't. It's a touch higher than what Birmingham spent on their back-up goalkeeper this...

Chesterfield did us 4-0 in preseason, so it was good to get the win in a competitive game. We started really well, conceded on the counter (again) and then worked hard to get the win. A lot to like - a lot of good chances missed. Dajaune Brown had a handful of good chances, frustratingly didn't...

I did see some Luton fans talking about getting rid of Rob Edwards and rehiring Nathan Jones last night. Obviously it's not going to happen, but made me laugh - a sign of the times of how reactionary and emotional people get.

I know it was a big defeat, but wouldn’t say it wasn’t competitive. In fact, I came on here to say that all but two games this weekend have been competitive from a statistical point of view - the quality in both boxes proving to be the difference in most games. Leeds with 70% possession and 22...

We’ve been flying up the league since Friday. I’d bite your hands off for 18th at this moment in time! Burnley’s quality has to be a huge concern for teams looking beyond 18th this season.

Not used to a bit of credit, Baz?

Whittaker today looked very much like the player who played for us, technically decent but an absolute fanny. Lingers on the ball, easily knocked off it. He's already gone well and above whatever I expected him to with Plymouth, but today gave me de ja vu. Even with his numbers, which have...

I watched most of it, Plymouth were an absolute mess. It was like they were playing at half-speed and the body language after the first goal was a joke. It was very laboured which must've been the most frustrating thing for the fans. Not tracking runners, shirking challenges, etc. very poor...

Defensively we have been excellent under Warne for the most part, we conceded 20 in our last 30 games last season, but got off the a slow start last season and defensively unsure. I feel that a brand new midfield three playing together for the first time and a change of system seemed to cause...

That's football. The highest bidder wins, usually. When it comes to the loan market, Premier League teams will monetise their assets as best they can. Gone of the days of picking the most suitable team for development.

I think it has been for a lot of teams, it will be a very busy end of the window. I suspect patience will be the key this window, as teams get their houses in order and players suddenly become available. Loan players historically have always made the difference in the Championship - we're still...

Good player - Preston's business has gone under the radar, but definitely have recruited some talent!
