They seemed to watch Estoril pretty well to spot Mateus Fernandes and get him over here with nobody really knowing who he was

Thought he looked really decent at Anfield. Seemed more agile, but also happier to push forward and play the right passes forward, into space

Busy going up and down in a glass elevator in his house

It was a bit more nuanced than that really. Glen was also very fair to highlight that if your defenders can't contest and win some headers inside your own box, and your keeper keeps parrying onto onrushing forwards, then you're stuffed regardless

Sometimes E.coli effects can last for years, so I am guessing it's likely all linked back to when he was seriously ill not long after signing for us, rather than just feeling a bit under the weather on multiple random occasions? We'll never know (not arguing that we should, really)

Flynn Downes a doubt for the trip to Hull with sickness...

Josh Sargent's goal record at this level is not better than some of the options we already have on the books, he was absolutely crap at PL level and he has also missed a lot of time with injuries. His return at this level is Che Adams level - who was widely derided for not scoring as many as he should - but with more injury issues I really do not get the obsession with him, especially given Norwich were looking for over £20m in order to let him go and nobody else in England was particularly interested in him

Not if you're going to whack them in the air from miles away or put those irritating floating crosses in that make life far too easy for the goalkeeper. Need to be whipping the ball low across the posts or between the six yard box and the spot, with the forward actually making an angled run, rather than what we're doing now

I don't really agree with the 'can't see what he's trying to do' narrative that is building - it's pretty obvious: get the ball forward quickly, use the flanks and cross the ball in the final third. It's what we've done since preseason and it's been the same in all of the competitive fixtures We put 27 crosses in yesterday and other games have followed the same pattern. In my opinion, it's far more of a case of: I can see what he's trying to do, but they aren't doing it very well. He needs to find a way to get them to do it in a much better way, or look for alternatives

Hull are looking good value? They’ve let in 14 goals in their last five games and have only won once. I’m aware we’ve only won once too but I wouldn’t exactly suggest they look good value

One was Alan Pace with ALK Capital, now owner of Burnley I'm sure the common version is that Katharina Liebherr used her veto on his takeover because he wanted to carry out a leveraged takeover (which Burnley accepted) but Liebherr/Semmens weren't comfortable with it and wanted a new owner to be an individual or group of individuals with solid proof of funds from other businesses, rather than a capital group like ALK looking to raise investment funds first

I stopped reading when it said KWP was on £20k a week and earning less than Smallbone These numbers seem like absolute pie in the sky

Well, I am going for an 8, as much for getting rid of the vast amount of **** that we have cleared out, as the acquisitions. I think it might actually be a 7.5 because I wanted a new GK and the striker position is a bit of a question mark still. I'm also a bit surprised that for Spors and Still's comments on adding physical profiles, aggression and more athletic players that we didn't add a unit to the midfield. Maybe Jander is good enough to make me forget about that, but let's see Overall though, it's nice to have a squad that is the right size (!!!) and has the right profiles for the way the manager wants to play. My feeling after the Watford game was that we were a playoff team, but that was without Jelert, Jander, Fellows and Scienza involved and Azaz had only just started learning people's names. Flynn was messing around with his chicken again and missed out also. So that's as many as five starters missing. Let's see... I am just glad to see it freshened up though, as that group last season had built a lot of ill feeling and made us all feel unenthused towards our football club. It was important to freshen it up on the pitch and likewise, to freshen up the dressing room. We've definitely done that, so credit to Johannes and Rasmus (!) Over to you, Will...
