Unless West Ham get desperate as the window draws to a close, I don't think he's going anywhere.

Similar to KWP though, unless someone is paying £20million it isn't really worth letting Che go. He would get 20 goals in this team for us, what strikers are we going to sign who have scored bundles in this league before for less than that?

Completely agree, last night was not meaningless passing at all. Actually much more excited for the season after last nights performance - and not just because of the result, I was resigned to a 1-1 opener and was still feeling good about our prospects.

I agree, the Tella one was overzealous enforcement of the rules. He simply waved his arm around and said "he ran into me!" when he was penalised for a supposed foul.

In this league he'll win us a lot of freekicks and penalties before we even get to whether he can actually create for us. Personally, I think he'll get better and better the more he plays.

Didn't Bednarek always play left CB for Poland?

Wasn't totally solid last night. His position and up front (and keeper but we won't sign anyone there) are the ones that will be easiest to make big improvements in. Hopefully he turns it around, but I'm hoping we aren't planning for a full season with Bednarek and Stephens as first choice in front of Bazunu.

Every season they have some new initiative that they clamp down on in the first month or two and then it dies a death. I can remember at various times... Not stop starting during penalty run ups (happens all the time now) Nobody but the captain speaking to the ref Clamping down on shirt pulling in the box And I'm sure there's more if I hadn't just woken up. I actually dont mind this new approach. How many times have we said that they should clamp down on dissent and time wasting properly, that we'd end up with a huge amount of red cards for a few weeks but players would soon learn? With regards to the time though, I'd much rather they stop the clock when the ball is out of play than add on 25 minutes of additional time across both halves. With this approach you'll end up with evening games ending past 10 o clock, it'll be a nightmare for away fans who get the train.

Few candidates but I went for Smallbone, very impressed with him. We've been blessed having two quality Championship players to slot into the side without having to spend anything.

Looking forward to seeing how many in total. We may have broken 1000 passes there.

Adams starts and I reckon we win that by 3 or 4.

Hahahaha what a time to blow the full time whistle, just as Bazunu tries to fuck it all up.

Was crazy wasn't it.

Been very impressed with Smallbone, Manning, JWP, Edozie and Tella. Bednarek has been OK.

Keep that cunt and start that cunt. I don't care if he leaves for free next summer or whenever his contract is up.

Think he might be concussed to be honest. Took a massive hit just a second ago.

Our passing is excellent. And then we get to the oppo box and decide to just hit the ball as hard as we can. Just fucking pick someone out.

It's right enough to come on as a sub.

That isn't what he's seeing from him now though is it

I'd be interested to hear what Martin is seeing from Aarmstrong that makes him his first choice forward.

1 shot on target and 1 goal for Sheffield Wednesday.

If Armstrong is going to be involved so little then i'd rather plop Onuachu up front and punt it into him.

Gonna get sick really quick of crossing the ball in with only Armstrong in there.

Yep, need to replace Stephens with a big bastard and get a proper centre forward up top.

Edozie will get bullied this season but he will win us a lot of freekicks and penalties.
