Given didn't even have the decency to ask to leave until the club basically refused to transfer list him. Given wouldn’t ask for a transfer because he didn’t want to give up his percentage of the transfer fee.

No chance, Krul deserves his chance and has waited long enough for it.

As if we'd score 6 past Villa, as if Blackpool would beat us at St James', as if we'd win away at Everton. Anything can happen in football and if they play the team that played at St James' on Thursday then anything can happen in this game.

My point is, we need to reduce our risks as we have far more important games than Chelsea in the League Cup.

If Krul plays and gets injured then we'll have Soderberg in goal against Stoke.

I'm sure Perch is banned for this game.

The level of abuse directed at Nolan is down to his poor displays on the pitch, if you are prepared to accept his poor performances as being good enough then that's up to you. Yesterday was one of his better performances but a poor one is unlikely to be too far away.

I find it strange that Jonas gets so much stick for having no end product yet Routledge gets away with it.

Are you taking the piss(Edit, Yorkie)?

I thought 7, beat Villa, draw with Wolves, beat Blackpool and two losses.

It isn't, not when we've got close to our best 11 on the pitch. I think we can lose to or beat anybody outside the top 5 or 6 teams.

Maybe the difference between the two teams isn't as big as some think.

I wouldn't play Krul, we'd be right up shit creek if he picked up an injury.

They've got a match thread for our game.

I'd play the kids again as I wouldn't be bothered in the slightest if we go out. 3 points next weekend and we're 25% of the way to our first target of the season and we'll only be 6 games in, mental.

It's confused me.

They'll have to be close enough to get him first.

Better than Smith is good enough for now.

I've been on a 3 from the start, we shouldn't be in any danger as long as we play to our strengths every week. Today was like a breath of fresh air as we went to a dodgy away game and went for the win.

I see more in Perch than I see in Simpson.
