    Edwards out - Harris in

    I think the reason for the 18 month contract might be that Aldridge will now have 3 windows to clear out and bring in younger, quicker players before they then go for the pretty football route again. They've realised that the players can't compete playing that way under Edwards, so will take...

    Edwards out - Harris in

    Has anyone else ever managed in league 2, league 1 and the championship in the same season before? Might need Whisky for this.

    Wall V Ipswich Match thread

    Don't envy him though with BNC, Hutch, Bryan, Longman, Emakhu, Nisbet and Obafemi all unavailable.

    Wall V Ipswich Match thread

    It's a very 'last season' lineup! Was just thinking, if we ever have all 11 of our new signings fit at the same time, we could actually be a pretty decent outfit 😂

    The Tigers V The kings of the jungle - Match thread--- Sat 3pm KO

    It's strange that away from home, we've somehow become more negative than under Rowett. Not sure if anyone's said it, but last 5 away games (going back to Stoke in Decmber) have yielded a combined total of 6 shots on target!

    Cresswell bid

    It's strange that we've bid at the same time as getting in Tanganga. Imagine if we get both and have a back 5 of Cuffey, Cooper, Cresswell, Tanganga and Bryan. No excuses for not keeping a clean sheet every game, ha.

    What does the new manager need to do first?

    I think getting Sarkic back fit will be key. If he breaks down again by January, I'd be inclined to go for someone else on loan to the end of the season. I'd then go for a ball playing centre back, in the vein of Cresswell and another left back to cover Bryan's constant injuries. If we have...

    The definitive new manager speculation thread

    I think Jones would be a safe but uninspiring appointment. Unlikely much would actually change than what we had under Rowett. I'd get it if the board wanted some continuity, but after being starved of any flair or excitement since pre-covid, I'm all for taking a risk on someone like Muscat. Not...

    The definitive new manager speculation thread

    If Jones is the man, then it's pretty much like for like with Rowett. 5-3-2 with no possession and long balls over the top. Could have fans on his back early on unless he wins the majority of games with it.

    Match thread Sunderland v Millwall

    Just set up all wrong today. If we're going to have Long in the team to smack it upfield, we either need a target man up front with quick runners in behind or play two up front so someone can pick up on a flick. Lumping up to Bradshaw on his own will never work!

    West Brom-Rowetts next job

    I know for a fact that he was looking to move back to a Midlands club last season. Not sure if he's changed his mind on that now but I think if West Brom offered him the job he'd take it. Wouldn't begrudge him the move, I'm happy with what he's done for us and almost 4 years at a club is a long...

    Our best 11

    Match thread Rotherham v Millwall

    Think I'm finally done with Cooper at the back. All he can do now is head the ball. Can't tackle, can't pass. Also can tell they're going for Murray with his lack of pace. Flemming, take a bow but other than him and maybe Danny Mac, we've been woeful.

    Match thread Burnley v Millwall

    That's the plus point for our season so far. It's 4 defeats, but 3 of them against Sheff Utd, Burnley and Norwich. Our season won't be defined by these games.
