Shame for Ross. Never seems to catch a break. Would have been chomping at the bit to start tonight.

That's a worry. Why pick him if he's been ill? Strange one.

Looks a decent attacking line up. Let's see how they go.

Would be great to have a job that pays thousands of pounds a week where you don't even have to be in the country the company is based, don't have to attend any of the training, don't have to do any of the work, don't have to speak with any of your colleagues and it all seems to be perfectly acceptable and the money keeps rolling in as regular as clockwork. On top of all that, some other company will eventually head hunt you and give you all the above and probably more based on your current CV.

It is well known that what he is peddling is snake-oil yet he continues to find more suckers willing to buy it. Have to take your hat off to him for that. For a guy with very little coaching talent he's managed to secure some decent jobs and made a lot of money along the way.

Can't see Palace paying £45-50m of the £60m they'll receive for Eze on the potential of a 19 year old youngster.

But we came close to scoring on more occasions than them and were deserved winners. I keep hearing that Wrexham battered us but that's not how I saw it so will give us credit for being the better side.

Not even counted as a shot on target as you well know. Stats show we were the team that could and should have scored more goals.

I wasn't criticising Baz - I was pointing out that Wrexham couldn't have scored a load of goals because our keeper only had one save to make.

Baz made one save.

I don't disagree with any of that but the original source clearly stated that the club is trying to keep this info under wraps - if so perhaps we should respect that. You are entitled to disagree of course.

Maybe have a chat with Alfie House about what the club have told him on this.

Well maybe they shouldn't if the club are trying to keep transfer info under wraps - loose lips sink ships and all that.

Not exactly keeping it under wraps considering you somehow appear to know about it 🙂

Well none of us are sure about Downs - he had about 15-20 minutes on the pitch in his Championship debut so shame he didn't rattle in a quickfire hattrick.

We could have been two up before they threatened our goal - Fraser had a decent chance very early on that he just failed to curl into the bottom corner and Robinson had a shot that Ward just about managed to keep out. You can't only look at their chances and ignore our own.

Good watch that. Makes you realise how much good stuff he did throughout the game.

Didn't realise Kevin Nolan is their manager.

Better that neither of these sides ever get promoted to the Premier League. Imagine the huge awakening their fans would get playing at places like Anfield and seeing how many decisions go against them. That would really give them something to whine about.

Agree, if you want these type of game changing players you have to pay big. Alternatively SR can continue doing what they always do and we'll never progress. This deal is sounding like it'll be this season's Cody Gakpo.

Sunday is a normal day off - Russboy used to chuck in Mondays as well for a nice long weekend before the light jogging and fun kick about training sessions. How much fitter did we look yesterday!

It seems we may be looking at loan deals.

Their fans in the main seem to disagree with you. On the whole they are saying all the things we were during his tenure here after two draws against poor opposition in the SPL.

He's still finding plenty of customers to buy the snake oil. However, if he fails at Rangers doing the same stubborn things you do have to wonder if that's his lot in football. Rangers have some decent players but they need to play at a high tempo not Russell's pass for passes sake which just negates their pacey wingers.

None of these comments expresses hate for Stephens. They are all opinions showing that the fans who expressed them do not rate the guy. You can't confuse that with hate which is quite a strong word.
