So Preston have refused to agree to move our post-international break fixture with them to Easter Saturday, meaning that we are likely to be without several first team players due to their likely involvement in internationals on the Wednesday night. At the very least, we'd likely end up without...

Abysmal first half performance. Created absolutely nothing, sloppy all over the park and not even coming close to matching Wednesday's workrate. Too many players performing poorly and barely look bothered, and we're making Darren Moore look like a tactical genius in the managerial dugout. The...

An unchanged XI for us today as we take on Sheffield Wednesday. Games like this always have the potential to be a banana skin, but I'm pretty confident we can go and claim another three points here. EDIT: And there's the banana peel, only 7 minutes in. Of course Rhodes would be the one to score...

Michael Theoklitos played one game in goal for us in 2009/10. We lost 7-1 to Colchester at home and Theoklitos looked like we'd picked some random guy up off the street and put him in goal the way he was flapping at things and how he had zero positional sense whatsoever. He never played for us...

We had a lot earlier in the season as well, which I think is in part because we'd get into the box so often that there'd be more opportunities for players to be fouled and go down. Of course, I'm sure opposition fans at the time would have called several dives or soft, such is the way it goes...

Idah will miss Sunday's game against Wednesday with a hernia injury, while Gibson is a doubt with hamstring problems. Feel sorry for Idah that he keeps picking up these little knocks that are stalling his development, while Gibson's has probably come because of how quickly he came back from his...

Honestly, it's precisely because we're more or less there already that I'm thinking about who I want to join us because we need a set of rivals that gives us the best possible chance of actually surviving for more than 12 months in the top flight for once. So, the primary reason I want...

Two dropped points for Swansea last night means that, even if they win their other game in hand, we'll maintain a 7 point lead at the top of the table. I'm curious to see over the next few games how Swansea fare, to see how they get on without constantly being gifted penalties every week. Are...

Sacking McCarthy was the biggest mistake Ipswich have made in a long time, and one I'm all too happy they made.

I thought it was the club could refuse to rip up their pitch if they were to be promoted, but it would mean they'd be demoted to the North or South instead. Not sure how feasible that would really be given that it would potentially impact promotion and relegation at three different levels of the...

Things continuing to tick over very nicely for us, and at this point I'd like to see us aim for 100 points just to cap off this truly impressive season. Meanwhile, I see Swansea got another very questionable last minute penalty to beat Middlesbrough, as well as Boro having what looked like a...

A couple of changes for us as Cantwell returns to replace Hernandez on the left wing and Rupp takes Vrancic's place in the number 10 slot, no doubt to give the latter a long-overdue rest (as he looked dead on his feet in midweek). Certainly a bold move from Luton to play without a proper...

Looks like Cantwell will be back in contention for tomorrow's squad, so assuming nothing goes wrong in training today we should finally go into a game against Luton this season with a full-strength squad (though I expect that Cantwell might be on the bench just to play it safe rather than going...

Great to see that Coventry have agreed a new 10-year deal to return to the Ricoh Arena. Allows them to return to Coventry while also giving them plenty of time to plan a longer-term solution to ensure they remain in the city and don't end up groundsharing in places like Northampton and Birmingham.

That penalty Swansea got to get a last minute winner against Stoke is an absolute joke, such a blatant dive. An indictment of the quality of refereeing in the league when players can fool refs with that.

God, could this Sky Sports commentary team be any more biased if they tried? "This isn't the Brentford we all know and love." No credit to our performance for keeping them at bay and stopping them from playing at their usual intensity, instead it's all about Brentford not being at their best...

Can't quite fathom how Canos didn't score that one, to be honest. That aside, Brentford are pressing well and we've yet to find a good answer to break through it. Just a matter of being patient and staying organised so we don't give Toney and co any room to create chances. Definitely missing...

As expected, no changes to our squad for tonight's match (I swear these midweeks are kicking off earlier and earlier lately, 5:30pm feels ridiculously early). Brentford going with a strong XI as well as expected, although seem to have a couple missing like Dasilva and have Sorensen playing out...

Well, this is an interesting if not expected turn of events, with 15-20 clubs from the North and South supposedly having registered interest in competing in this new joint league. I assume that promotion from such a league would only be to fill the vacancy definitely left by Macclesfield and...

Cantwell will also miss tomorrow night's game against Brentford with injury, but should hopefully be back soon afterwards. Stiepermann is finally back in the first team training picture after being out for quite some time, so might make his return on the bench. Beyond that, no changes on the...
