Re: From the Bee Hole End podcast…
FWIW I find Daz pretty measured and able to take off the Claret tinted specs. Seems logical to be concerned whether we can score enough goals to stay up. A lot of people (myself included) had doubts for well over half of last season that we didn't have enough goals in us to get promoted. It turned ...

Re: Parker post match interview v Cardiff
Good job we sacrificed the cup to rest players. We might not have scored without all that extra energy, and had to suffer another 5-0. I don't think we rested players against Cardiff with only yesterday's game in mind. Avoiding injuries to key players will benefit us massively in the weeks and mont...

The calibre of the players we signed this summer is seriously impressive and better than anything we've done previously.
