Sounds like an excellent showing so far.

guuuuuuuuuuuly 1-0.

Lee Bradbury is totally useless as a manager, his win % must be 10% or something since he's been there. They only got into the playoffs last year from what Howe did, they'll be in a relegation battle this year, no question.

Wonder if it'll be broken in the next 24 hours...

Let's hope he drops some transfer hints.

Swindon team for anyone that's interested: - Swindon Town: Phil Smith; Paul Caddis (Capt), Alberto Comazzi, Aden Flint, Callum Kennedy; Matt Ritchie, Simon Ferry, Jonathan Smith, Lander Gabilondo; Alan Connell, Leon Clarke Hardly anyone I remember from their L1 days.

Interesting, what with the rumour about us offering Butterfield and cash for Clyne. (albeit only on twitter)

I think Barnard is still injured, that's all I can think of tbh. If he is going out on loan then we must have a striker joining tommorow.

Subs - Davis, Fonte, Lambert, Hammond, Reeves, Dean, Hoskins Surprised not to see Chaplow involved...?

I reckon it's Gully up top, Lallana on the left and Holmes on the right.

erm yes.

great to see Lallana as captain, I reckon he's got that role nailed on in the future.

Panic signing if I ever saw one.

Messi.

Alot of footballers should look up to Adam and his attitude. You can see how much he loves playing just by his performances, you get many players who just strut their stuff for the ££££££ but Adam looks like a totally different breed and it's refreshing to see.

I just think we'd be wasting our time TBH, when we could be focusing on gettable targets such as Ben Turner, Matt Killganon etc. There isn't long left in the window and I cannot see Dann leaving for anyone but a prem team. He is also apparently on 30k p/w, which would exceed what we'd pay in wages.

Nice one, I guess without a game for a week or so it makes sense for him to play - he's going to have enough rest anyway.

I think if we really wanted this guy we'd have got him earlier, I wouldn't give up hope on Jay Rod just yet - I think it's a good sign that all Southampton rumours are ''quiet'', usually means something is imminent these days. I think everyone was resigned to the fact that Jack Cork wasn't coming, then all of a sudden within a day it was all done. Tomorrow will be exciting IMO.

He will not stay in the championship, It would be a waste of resources even trying for him. Time is tight - we need to focus on realistic targets.

I think old school sums him up. Isn't interested in embracing the modern techniques of coaching or sports science, just want to do it their own way - same as redkrapp. Whereas Adkins fits us perfectly in that sense, he's very open and supportive of all the modern technologies.

Was a very bad tackle, but it's not the first serious injury Sharp has had. Seems to be built from glass.

shut up.

I think we clearly have an interest though - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,12040_7112467,00.html

CMS has done okish, Sharp is out long term with a serious injury. Dodged a bullet there

Only out until September according to the palace fans.
