A fair assessment, in the last 3 games now we've appeared to understimate the opposition before going a goal down and waking up. Thought the referee today was extremely inconsistent, how he chose to send Power off but not Chris Maguire and one of your midfielders is beyond me. We were dreadful...

Burton sold out, 1,671 allocation. Makes it 4/4 sold out so far but I feel that may end with our next away game which is Coventry and a rumoured 6,000 allocation.

We keep getting lucky but I'll take it. Our lack of answer to any player above 6 foot will haunt us a few times this season.

Finally recovered from the trip to Gillingham. Thought Gillingham played very well with Eaves giving us plenty of problems, he won everything in the air but thankfully Loovens and especially Baldwin were on their game to sort out what happened from his knock-downs. Going 1-0 down with about 60...

Good turnout from Scunthorpe on Sunday apparently a few issues with them after the game but the ones I spoke to were nice enough. Sold out Gillingham away on Wednesday, no official number other than "over 2,000"

On paper Scunthorpe was our first "have to win" game. We started similar to the Charlton game, start off brightly and give away a silly penalty... except by some miracle the referee didn't blow for one. Unlike the Charlton game we didn't revert to type immediately afterwards and instead killed...

It's a shame the game was moved for Sky as that may sway a few to stay at home. Although the added edge over some of our fans dislike of Coventry (you nicked city of culture off us now) means it'll probably be a good albeit hostile atmosphere. I'm not reading too much into the Gillingham figure...

Wimbledon away sold out (735 ticket allocation) And not far off 2,000 tickets sold for our Wednesday night jaunt to Gillingham. On the home front our League Cup game tonight against Sheff Wed will probably be our lowest competitive gate at the SoL. Which surely will be beaten by our...

Fairly content with a draw at Luton. 2 tough games against teams that were tipped as 'finishing up there' and we're unbeaten with some key players still out. Josh Maja has been taking his chances which is a huge plus as he's looked increasingly isolated up top on his own. Our stand out player...

Ours has been Goodison Park, won there a handful of times since the 80s and had some dreadful results in the process - 7-1, 6-2, 5-0. In this league we always seemed to do badly against Wimbledon so hopefully the AFC variety didn't inherit that gene.

We looked pretty poor especially in the first half on Saturday but a win's a win, brings up to 7 home wins since the end of the 2015/16 season. With some key players back and hopefully 1 or 2 in I hope Luton away on Saturday is a better yardstick to gauge this season.

Beat St. Mirren 6-0 on Saturday. All of the goalscorers came from our academy and nobody played badly which is a huge plus. Boro on Friday and I think that's our lot for pre-season.

We have seemingly gone from paying too much for players to not paying enough. We are in desperate need of attackers right now so hopefully there's some irons in the fire or we'll be playing for 0-0 draws come August. Think the big time charlies of League One and Two are too proud to take in...

Callum McManaman gone back to Wigan. It would be nice if we could get some bids accepted sometime soon.

First win of the preseason at Grimsby last night, when we don't pass the ball to the attackers we don't concede. I suspect Jack Ross' will be relaying that to the players from now on. Tour of the North East-ish so far: 1-0 loss to Darlington 1-1 draw with Hartlepool 1-0 win against Grimsby...

First away game of the season sold out, 1,037 tickets for Luton. Managed to get a ticket just before they all went. Hopefully our half a squad will be fleshed out by then.

Game 1 in our tour of 30 minutes drive away we lost 1-0 to Darlington. A result and performance that would normally be worrying if not for that I remembered the pre-season during Moyes' reign we were unbeaten and drew with Borussia Dortmund so friendlies are an utter anomaly. Hartlepool...

The end of the pinstripes which is nice.

Jack Rodwell has now left Sunderland. What a time to be alive!

Made 2 signings yesterday in Chris Maguire & Jon McLaughlin. I imagine the Maguire signing is just an extra body as we'll need about 14 players in. Looking through Bury fans' comments he has an all too familiar attitude in a struggling side so I'm basing this on nothing but blind faith when I...
