Blackburn away, both teams will be cautiously optimistic about getting all three points. It doesn't look like we will be getting anyone in to play last minute, so suspect we go with what we have - just not sure on formation. Yates is suspended, otherwise he would've started upfront. We have...

The Zetterstrom saga has been tedious - sounds like we were anticipating him being with us for this week and I guess to start on Friday. However, the Sporting Director of Djurgardens came out and said they wanted him to play in ALL of their european qualifiers, bearing in mind he's had a medical...

Ok, I'll take that bet. Teenage Cancer Trust for me.

I'm not going to comment on us, obvious bias makes it difficult to be objective. I know that Watford's owners are known for being a little unhinged and it's created a unsettled environment, but I do struggle to see anyway they finish bottom of the league - considering the talent in the team...

A good end to our preseason with a good win against Real Valladolid. A much needed one after a very disruptive preseason schedule so far. Dajaune Brown got himself 45 minutes too and looks like he will at least get an opportunity between now and the end of the transfer window to prove himself a...

I suspect that we haven’t done as much business as we would’ve liked, but we have made significant improvements to our midfield which was our weak link last season. Ozoh and Goudmijn are extremely high calibre players, in particular. I think there is still some relatively considerable business...

Interested to see how he does, it’s highly unusual to sign a player based on his body of work in the Danish third division. We’ve seen a few players signed from lower European divisions this summer in the Championship

Ebiowei is a strange one, when we got relegated he was probably our brightest spark and he came out of nowhere. He had been dropped by Arsenal, dropped by Rangers and we had him in our U21s until we couldn't sign players and he ended up doing a very good job. I guess in the grand scheme of...

I'm surprised West Brom signed him to be fair, although he had a decent year overall last season. He scored just two in 20 to finish the season, which in League One (for any half-decent striker) is pretty difficult to do given how often he played.

We've just lost 4-3 to Barnsley in our penultimate friendly, despite the result I was fairly happy with aspects of the performance. We were playing well for the first 60 minutes, before making 8 changes and changing the system and then got ourselves infront again 3-2 before Blackett Taylor went...

We have 11 games between now and the end of the season on Sky - do they still do the midweek games for everyone? It would mean an extra 5/6 on top - so 16/17 of our first 24 games are viewable on Sky. We've always been one of the more selected teams by Sky, but that's taking the piss - surely?

Doak is very much the real deal, he played against us in the cup a couple of years ago and could tell that he had a very serious ceiling.

Not one of ours, but Osula being linked with a £10m move away to Newcastle certainly floored me. There were times when he played for us that I would laugh because he was so erratic, lacked so much technical ability and seemingly not in control of his limbs for the most part. He was useful...

Followed it up with a 2-1 loss to Shrewsbury. It’s only preseason, right?

I've seen that a few times today, but I personally don't think it makes sense for us. I know Warne appreciates him as a player, he was highlighted and targeted at our game late in the season, but he doesn't fit the profile of player we have been after - and given our recruitment so far then we...

We got well and truly spanked by Chesterfield 4-0 who looked excellent and a class above in fairness. I'd definitely be excited about the season in their shoes, whereas it highlights the importance of getting 5-6 more players through the door and shedding some of the dead weight in the process...

Ian Poveda has one hell of a marketing team considering how much I’ve heard the c***’s name over the past 6 weeks and his best season equates to 2 goals in 24 games for a relegated Blackpool side. I’ve never watched him play but looking at the numbers - 24 years old, 69 league games and 3 goals...

It sounds like we have our goalkeeper - Jacob Widell Zetterstrom who is flying in from Sweden and should be completed by the end of the week. I really like this signing. A keeper at a good age, Swedish international and despite the talk of £2.5-3m as the fee - the initial fee is below £1m...

Ozoh has since (not officially) been confirmed by numerous sources and gets started tomorrow. Assume we will hear more about Dembele & Rodak this week and perhaps make plans to move on if they aren't progressing. We have a lot of work still to do - I get the feeling the club are concerned...
