Ladbrokes do a "random 3 promoted" and give you odds of 1500/1 whoever you get. I chucked a tenner on expecting to end up with Rotherham, QPR and Ipswich or something. I got Leicester, Leeds and Middlesbrough. Well happy with that.

2005 Jones wasn't that great. Wasn't until the following season under Burley he discovered he could leap 10 feet in the air and dominate the opponents 18 yard box.

They slipped those under the radar. Very nice. The red one looks better as a jacket though.

No chance Manning doesn't start, also no chance that Charles is on the wing?

Possibly, but add it to the growing list of shots he got a touch on but was unable to keep out. Seems to happen to him a lot.

One slice of humble pie for me, thanks.

You know he's actually signed for and is currently playing for Barcelona, right?

Surprised he's available to be honest, but I agree. Either him or McNally who was on loan at Coventry from Burnley.

Both sides, be a bit weird if you could only see one team.

If we're looking for championship experience i'd look at signing Gus Hamer from Coventry, 11 goals and 10 assists from CM last season. Robert Atkinson from Bristol City would be a good option for centreback as well.

Yes but with a couple of years of soul destroying performances and a relegation since.

So we should all be happy to have him costing us goals every game then. I didn't see anyone giving Adams, Armstrong, Mara and Onuachu a break last season.

If that's the case I don't think he ever will be then. Let the lad go and have a career ffs.

Surprised to see Simeu involved with the B team given our problems at CB, thought we'd take a look at him in the first team squad this pre-season.

Yeah he definitely needs a few minutes here and there. I'd be starting Sarmstrong and Tella on the wings. There's no way Shea doesn't start though.

Can't watch that clip right now so not sure what their explanation is but yeah that doesn't make any sense.

Not entirely sure why KWP was so far infield to be honest. If he's out on the wing, that goal doesn't happen.

I'd say that's 60/40 in favour of it being KWPs fault. Stephens should have committed to the tackle instead of backing off because - as we saw - he was never going to be able to cover the run anyway.

And yet it's literally the only position we aren't looking to sign anyone in.

Neto, usually very, very good.

Certainly increasing the level of talent in the side this season. The keeper is still my favourite though.

Need some pace at the back and most importantly a keeper who can make himself big and make saves you don't expect him to make, regardless of whether he can pass it or not. If his passing is cack then just get him to lay it off short or boot it straight up the middle.

Bless them. Limbs everywhere, I bet.

Think that's your own inferiority complex making that connection mate.

What formation does Martin favour then? Two up top or a 4-2-3-1? I would have thought Smallbone would suit that slightly further forward midfield role.
