Comment | McKenna: Tuanzebe Has Made Good Progress
at 08:48:17
I think he's done a good job of steadying the ship on that right hand side when we had a sticky patch with regular confusion between Clarke and Woolfie - he's a more solid defender, but doesn't quite give us what we need going forward.
Clarke clearly has a great relationship with Burns and has also given us some good energy off the bench which has swung games over the last couple of months, so it's worked from that perspective.
Not sure what the long term answer is here as ideally you have a hybrid of the two (which probably was Williams), but can see us continuing for the last 5 games with Abel starting and the Clarke impacting in the 2nd half. |

Comment | Tomasson: First Half Cost Us the Game
at 01:42:13
Really well articulated, however, he left out the bit where we should have scored 6 goals in that first half. We were great and the Blackburn defence was awful.
2nd half they stepped up and we dropped off - we can't let teams free run from their centre half to our left back position without being challenged and expect not to concede, but so good the boys stepped up and got the win.
Hutinson also looks different gravy! |

Comment | Town to Introduce Ticket Touting Policy
at 09:37:00
Got no problem with this in principal, however, I often give my (and my son's) season ticket to a friend and their child, or to two mates who upgrade my son's ticket - I don't resell (they pay for the upgrade). As long as the new policy doesn't get in the way of that and tries to force me to sell my ticket as opposed to gifting it to somebody, I'm good with it.
Just need to be aware of the law of unintended consequences! |

Watched it with the sound off at work - looks well produced and a good effort, but expect I've not lost anything through not having the sound on.
Why does he walk like he's carrying a couple of barrels? |

Comment | Penney Enjoying Spell With Motherwell
at 12:56:03
Was speaking to a friend of mine who is a regular at Fir Park earlier this week and he was raving about him. Said he's miles better than the two players (both injured) who normally play there.
Think they'd keep him in a heartbeat, but like 99% of Scottish Football, they've not got any cash! |

Comment | EFL Matches Postponed as Mark of Respect
at 12:20:08
Actually done me a favour as I couldn't make tomorrow's game - the postponement, not the death of her majesty.
In the wider context, I'm comfortable with games being postponed as a mark of respect. it's not like it happens every week - plus it gives plenty something to moan about, our good start this season has reduced the opportunities for some people to date!! |

Comment | Viewpoint: Barnsley - 27/08/2022
at 10:38:05
Good write up - I agree there is no need to panic. won 4, drawn 2 and of the draws, Morsey should have scored in the last minute to beat Bolton and the Ref decisions stopped us winning against Barnsley - could be sitting here with 6 wins, although if this were last season we could easily be sitting here with 1 win, 3 draws and 2 defeats!
My only concern is that we've played 4 lower end teams and won and played two top half teams and drawn - definitely harder times to come as we play Sheff Weds, Posh, Derby and Pompey - but at the moment the team's playing really well, keeping it tight (for the most part, still the occasional lapse to get the heart in the mouth!) and things look good.
it's going to be a long season (especially with the World Cup break), but it's all trending in the right way at the moment. Just hope we've got McKenna bought into the long term project ala Burley/Sheepshank, so we don;t have a stella season and he then leaves us for Watford (or a.n.other generic premier League yoyo!) |

Comment | Bonne's QPR Future in Question
at 15:40:08
He is not the answer to the 20 goal a season striker discussion (which I'm not sure we need).
Totally get he's an Ipswich lad and would give his all, but he is not the goal machine that people are arguing for. He can score goals (but offers less than Harness, Chaplin and Burns) and harries defenders (which Ladapo is doing very effectively at the moment), but I've also never seen a player be offside as much.
Plus the goals he did score at the start of last season, he missed twice as many sitters.
I don't think he's game is suited to how we play now (hence minimal goals after McKenna joined) and I would have preferred we kept Piggott than bring him in.
I would love to be proved wrong and for him to join and be a success, but he doesn't get anywhere near our current starting 11 at the moment and any additions should be competing for a starting spot. |

Comment | Work Permit Scuppered Celina Stoke Move
at 13:16:34
Would take Celina if we can afford him/he wants to come, but if it were to be a him vs Hirst, I think I'd take Hirst. Celina's good, great to watch and has bags of talent, but is he a long term permanent option?
Just feels like he blows too hot and cold |
