Grimes doesn't look great does he? I know we were linked but not sure what he's good at based on this.

Frankly, I'm amazed we didn't snap him up!!

Watching the keeper constantly give the ball away trying to play out from the backis all too familiar

Yep we’ll be ok if we play Swansea every week.

They are a mid table Championship side, which is an indicatorfor the 12 teams bow them for quality. There are only 4 good teams this seasons Championship.

We are going to miss Walker Peters next year. Is there any chance at all that no Prem side wants him?

If there was a prem club willing to sign Charlie Taylor on a free, they'll be one willing to sign KWP on a free.

Indeed. But there's been a couple of other junctures in his history with us when I feared he would leave, but he remained a loyal servant, so all hope is not lost.

It's so reassuring to have an expert on the universe and everything on this forum.

There were only 4 good teams last year too. And we were the worst of those four by some distance.

I thought Armstrong was supposed to be good against championship sides...? ;)

And here comes Lallana for his statutory 5 minutes...

So what? My point is we'll be challenging for promotion.

Swansea don’t have any centre backs playing and have their back up goalkeeper. It’s not an indicator.

No point. Just saying.

We *should* be challenging for promotion

The scary thing is how Swansea are still infected by Russball so long after his departure. I hope we get over it quicker.

Smallbone just as bad as he was before he got injured. 

He'll be one of the best midfielders in the division next year, though.

Is it my dodgy eyesight or is the pitch look a bit ropey? 

Looks pretty good for mid January, after heavy prolonged rainfall and after 90 minutes of football

Isn't that more to do with the geezer currently in charge being an advocate of the same style...?

He is, a really clever first touch to fool everyone including himself and rather than firmly placing the ball into the bottom corner like an average premier league striker would he tried to fool everyone by deliberately scuffing his shot to corner it was only half a foot wide of a truly brilliant goal
