Perhaps you can balance this against the £25m we got for Scott who has also hardly played this season due to injuries. We were unlucky with RM but lucky not to have kept Alex, only to have him out most of the season - so far.

Indeed. I don't think we'd need to guess what the general reaction would be if we'd turned down £25m and then got 3 or 4 games out of him, because we wouldn't be seeing that sort of offer for him again.

Ah no, that's very sad.

Isn't it strange that as you don't want him here, you are able to find anything, no matter how tenuous to criticise him with.

I think that was a really candid and articulate interview. 

Up The City!

Pearson loses that game 

Tedious, just like it was when he would definitely have won the QPR game.

Really hope this doesn't become an ongoing thing.

Really good, he’s excellent in the air & very decent on the ground.

In a great run of form.

A proper threat from set pieces too, not had that for a while.

Great result that looked unlikely at 2-2

Trust LM will have learnt a great deal after that.  Much needs to be done in January transfer window to see us secure place in play offs. But so far, in these earliest of days, so good.

Which is progress, given that you had us getting relegated 40 minutes ago.

Still find it amazing how certain people can't get through 90 minutes without having to have at least one player to moan about, regardless of how the game is going.

Why do you "get why"?

No rational person could possibly judge Manning after two games. 

Agreed.

How many games did you give Pearson, out of interest?

First time we've had one of these I think?

Confirmed on the OS that it is his hamstring.

Quinn scored when joe Jordan was boss I think? Or later, I look at some of the fowards joe signed to some gary brought in, joes are mouthwatering, I can't say that about gjs

Think Quinn was one of the ones who Gary Johnson signed when he first took over.

Dean Green in goal? Pissing down Christmas steps wasn’t it?

Gerken.

Knight was one of only two players who started tonight and against the Netherlands the other night, so he was always likely to come off early.

Tony Thorpe wasn't particularly popular by the end, once he'd announced he wasn't going to sign a contract.

Stern John

Andy Smith - if Wikipedia is correct then he played 46 games in English football at various clubs, including 11 on loan here - 0 goals

No Rob….anything to worry about @Port Said Red?

Manning did say last night that he hoped to have one back for the weekend, could be him?

Did I miss something about Tommy having a bid or two come in for him?

No. He was selected for Scotland U21 but withdrew so he could focus on training with us.

Thought it was an interesting experiment to allow the game to be refereed by someone who'd never watched a game of football before.

 Not sure it was overly successful.

Are there any players that any of you miserable ***** do like?

Let’s hope someone gets on there and challenges him. 

Are you going to ring in then? Or just sit on here moaning.

Reckon Head would have got a warmer reception if he'd done that against us at Edgbaston or Headingley than he did there.

Annoying. Could have won that.

Be nice if Olly Lawrence was ever that good for England.
