It's noisy outside the ground,.

It's good to see Hayden starting, I'm happy with that starting 11.

I'll take any win, all that matters today is getting as many points as possible.

Rafa has done a fantastic job for us, the club was a stinking cesspit before he arrived and it looks more than likely that he's going to achieve promotion is one season. I agree with him when he reminds people that we were relegated because we were shit and I think going up in any position should not be underestimated by anybody. We weren't a team that was fighting all last season to stay up, we looked for most of the season like a team fighting to go down until he came in and started lifting everybody associated with the club.

I'm looking forward to this now, hopefully we'll turn up.

I'm not sure our position will be as strong as you think given we've possibly made a large loss this season and next season will need huge reinvestment. Isn't part of our overall poor financial position down to paying for players up front and then selling in installments? Charnley mentioned that we wouldn't see some of the profits from players sold for years, we create a problem by the way we pay for incoming transfers. Paying all up-front gives us bargaining room to reduce prices... ... and allowing teams to pay in instalments over years enables us to demand higher total fees... ... is my simplistic FM understanding. It doesn't help the cash flow.

I'll wait to see the team we put out before making a prediction. Hopefully we'll have Hayden back because our central midfield doesn't work and the centre of defence are just as bad, in not worse.

This thread.

He should be dropped when Clark returns, I don't think that he will.

Or people can hold different opinions about the same thing, this might or might not surprise you but I agree with Ian.

Certainly deserved a point. I think they're some of the most meaningless stats that I've ever seen, I look at them and they don't reflect what I was watching.

The stats from tonight. http://i68.tinypic.com/2hmg0go.jpg

How many of his signing were shit today? I would say one, Diame.

I'll be celebrating it and I don't care when it happens either.

He's OK when coming off the bench, I'm not sure he's worth a start but we had limited options tonight.

Gayle kneed him in the hamstring by mistake, I expect his leg stiffened up because he had no change of pace tonight.

1.

Not good enough.

Hit everything into the middle now.

Game on.

Game over.

4 of our players around Lees and he scores, pathetic.

Shit.

Get Gouffran off who has done nothing and get Atsu on. I would also look to take Perez off at some point as he's never been involved.
