Just like his double save against Norwich last season. Another save that won us the points!

Actually I'd say we've had more unlucky defeats than lucky wins - far more in fact, and we needed things to start falling for us. We're in a decent position, there seems to be so much expectation from some parts of our support based on last year, but the fact is we're significantly undermined as...

A game when we finally started taking our chances, and we got a bit of luck when we needed it. Preston scored with pretty much their only attack of the first half, and I felt us leading at half time was fair. What an incredible pass from Barbet to Judge for our second goal though! Thought the...

My favourite player, so it's a bit sad to see him go. Was incredible last season, but Toumani has a habit of perfectly fitting into any side he's playing in seamlessly. Last season we put together a good team and played great football, therefore Toumani was excellent. This season we've been...

Burnley, Blackburn, Bolton, etc. away. I try to avoid going through Manchester for those. Also, head up to the lakes quite a lot, and if we need a car we jump off the train in Preston to pick up a rental.

Coming in with my old man, who hobbles and doesn't like people. Booked the cheaper 3hr train from Euston a few months back, so it works out well as I've got a decent FM 16 save on the go ;) I find myself in Preston so frequently recently that I've actually started liking the place! :D

Sounds awful, but I'm really not looking forward to the trip tomorrow. There's always a game each season where I buy train and match tickets early on to get the discount, and then when the game roles around I think "Nope, don't want to go". Lost four in a row, looked terrible at certain times...

With our current form, I wouldn't have thought a bid would be necessary :D

So it looks like Burnley bid for Judge and Tarkowski in the week leading up to our fixture with them, unsettled both players, bids were so far short (£1.7m for Tarks despite us turning down £4m+£1m in the summer for him, and a paltry £1m for Judge). Since the game Burnley haven't followed up...

:ffs...

The relatively reliable rumours at our end indicate that we bought you out of the sell on last year!

Family tings. Oddly they're not directly impacting him, but it seems it's to do with the family of his girlfriend's first child. Blah, not especially enjoying the season so far :ffs:

Wouldn't agree that he's our best player by a mile, as I still think Alan Judge is the best player in the division :) But it is galling that things seem to have been turned on their head. We had a fair bit of interest from a few Premier League clubs in the summer and the club were really...

Adios Jota, off to Eibar on an 18 month loan for family reasons. Can't help but think our owner is the best out there, compassionate but protecting the club's assets.

It's a fair enough comment :) But I think most owners realise that one club's £ is just the same as another's. There's a difference in a club not wanting to cough up a fee as a tribunal is on the cards, than a club farting about over a fee just for the sake of it (i.e. conducting the transfer...

They're paying Gray more than they were Ings last season!

Not yet - have it on good authority we turned down quite a large bid in August for him, so I don't think there's much chance of him going for the £2.3m that Burnley have offered for him. That said, I've no idea whether our valuation of him has increased/decreased based on his performances this...

We have the potential to be routed this transfer window. Bids already received for Judge and Tarkowski, and now rumours that Jota is going back to Spain... on loan! We've managed to sign excellent players on low fees and get great money for them, so I don't really have any qualms about us doing...

Imagine Judge would cost a fair bit. We managed to get a £9.25m offer out of Burnley for Gray, and with Judge the joint top assist-maker in the four English leagues since the beginning of last season, and having hit double figures in goals for this season by the halfway mark, I'd suggest we'd be...

Just saw Paul Clement. Was stood next to him getting measured up for a suit. Seemed a very nice guy.
