Away form becoming a serious problem.

A win tomorrow and I think we can be really pleased with this first "segment" of the season. Away form is the main concern so far so a win would address that.

I agree it was probably wrong for us to sell him when we did, but on the other hand, I think it has been what he needed to get more experience and confidence at League One level and now a chance with a team where he will get plenty of opportunities to start at Championship level. Whilst it would have been nice to see us re-sign him in the summer, I'm not sure he would have suited us the way we are playing right now and he likely wouldn't have got the opportunities to start and show what he can do that he is getting at Brizzle.

Maybe we will hear Amanda Holden's views this time?

Even Haaland seemed confused it was going to be given!

Wow, Cov really struggling! No goals scored in 4 games more than a little worrying for them. That Lewis Dunk goal was a bit tasty though!

And yet we still can't keep a clean sheet?!

Well yeah, but who knows what machinations the FA goes through in deciding these things, it's baffling how it could have taken this long to come to a decision and what exactly they have been doing all this time! I personally think a ban is inevitable purely because of all the furore that has surrounded this, it's just a case of how long.

Yes of course. But it's also important not to get too carried away thinking "it's another thumping home win" when on another day if Bristol were a little sharper up front, it could have been a very different scoreline. We have started sluggishly in a few games now, we need to improve that when we play the real top contenders like West Ham, Wolves etc or we will likely be punished. But great result and a lot of positives too of course.

Scored the winner tonight for Auxerre, 2 goals in 2 league games so far.

It's good that it sounds like Mubama did much better today in his sub role and his assist for Azaz's goal should boost his confidence. It's going to be so important to our season overall that we have a good enough option to sub on in that position that it gives confidence to the manager that he can give Larin a longer rest sometimes.

Haven't been watching but stats certainly don't look great, we shouldn't be allowing them that many shots and chances to score in a home game. Some kind of tactical tweak needed at half time?

Yep, I don't think those comments infer anything ominous as such. Clearly, he's going to get a ban of some sort as he has admitted his guilt. Let's hope common sense prevails and it's not any longer than the one you suggest.

Yeah, that's what I reckon. An appealing Prem move never happened and he's not keen on abroad move with his current family situation, which is fair enough. I think we are still very keen for him to go as we need wages off books so nothing will change until all windows are shut.

Yep, West Ham should go up with what they have but it's a long season and you never know in the Championship. If anything, hopefully Tonda can use that result as motivation for our players as that is the standard we are competing with now.
