Do we know the extent of involvement of our ‘legal team’ ? I don’t think any of us kniw the process and how it’s conducted. Tonda is said to have been interviewed or spoken with the FA. What format does this take ? Is he essentially cross examined or just asked to state his understanding of what happened? Whichever way it’s handled does he go into that alone to discuss it/answer questions, or is he flanked by SFC legal team (hopefully more keyed up than the initial hearing seemed to be) guiding him. Does the club get chance to submit anything as well ? Anyone on here know ? Our handling of the initial episode wasn’t great, hope this has been properly overseen and not just by a bloke who used to sell Dysons.

Which is vague enough to cover a multitude of things, almost anything the FA want (ie bad treatment of junior staff) could be considered as damaging to the game’s reputation even if it doesn’t flout any employment laws.

Dan Neil scored twice for Rangers in their cup match v Celtic

Hull and Ipswich are outperforming last season’s runaway leaders. Why ? We know Fat Frank has limitations, but on top of that have they been too loyal to the team that brought them up?

What a player he has become for us, bit of a talisman He took about ten minutes against Watford to blow the Carillo comparison apart. And a few games into the season any Saganowski doubts are also dismissed. Great thing is the type of goals and his contribution. Gets on the end of things, some headers, some great skill (Millwall and yesterday), pace (away v Wrexham last season), neat footwork (Ipswich), and a opportunists goal yesterday as well. Just hope we can keep him fit.

Not sure on that. Didn’t he take one last season ? Leicester in the cup possibly. He scored but I think it was placed, rather than powered. Give me a Stewart, Lambert, MLT to blast it every time.

Seriously??? Wonder who Gibbo will appoint for our match with them in November

Yet we managed to allow both Swansea and Bristol City back into the game. But greater credit we haven’t folded, but regrouped and moved up a gear again in both matches

A great result, again, but the scoreline flattered. Bristol City could have been 3 up before we scored. Can’t afford to give better teams these opportunities before we get going. But in the end great quality shown to come through this as we did. Peretz - good save at 0-0 Larin, moment of individual brilliance for the first, skill from Matsuki for third. And great credit to Mubama for his role when coming on, especially in the fourth goal. Mubama’s performance bodes well. Good performance from Matsuki and the midfield. Fellows impressed when he came on. Tonda got the subs right today and they all contributed at important times of the game. Thought Azaz poor but as several point out the stats show a goal and two assists.

Interesting that our First Team Analyst left, I think given as mutual consent in the summer. Coincidence, scapegoat, or unrelated? Answers on a postcard. (For those old enough to remember that)

Are they just warming up for the skates visit ?

Think we (fans) have to stop referencing the -4. It’s happened, no amount of “where we’d be without it” is going to change it. As I pointed out before on here when Tonda took over in early November he was -10 points from the play offs and - 13 from the automatic places. Trust in Tonda. But expect the FA to try and bugger it up.

Back on track though, Schlotterbeck does look a bargain, and the proverbial dogs bollocks.

Christ, some memories- perhaps it’s mine - are fading or playing tricks on us. The two you mentioned are chalk and cheese. VVD was a Rolls Royce of a player. That was evident from his first game, great defender who glided around the pitch with ease. Bella-K and Salisu were like cart horses, and even then best sent to the glue factory. Shame about ABK, obviously had potential. You don’t get in the Germany WC squad at 22 without having something about you. But equally Germany with the likes of ABK in their squad don’t get past the group stages.

They can’t afford him.
