If we do manage to get Eriksen, I think this is looking rather good:

The right centre back position could also be any of Ekdal, Worral or Humphreys when fit, right wing could be JBL. Lots of options off the bench too.

Does foster being given the no 9 shirt alter your view?

The shirt number makes no difference. JRod was our number 9 last season and he only started 8 out of 29 games while he was here and that was only due to Foster or Flemming being unavailable.

I suspect fans will start doing the countdown when their team are trailing and the opposition keeper is pushing it to the limit.

Sargent over Wilson every day of the week. Guarantee we signed Wilson and he's out for 10 weeks

We could sign both of them, imagine a forward line of Sargent Wilson

Article in the Manchester Evening News saying we aren't interested in signing Stefan Ortega from City.

Not sure Oscar Bobb is what we need, he's a left footer who plays on the right wing where we already have Edwards and Tchaouna. Nico O'Reilly would be a better fit.

Ashley Barnes to make it 3-2 vs Crystal Palace!

That was my first thought although it wasn't strictly last minute, Palace still had time to hit the post straight afterwards!

On the latest training video the club have posted, you can see Beyer briefly right at the end running and gesturing to have the ball passed to him, with nary a limp in sight.

I think it's a glitch in the video at one point which makes it look like a limp for one step, otherwise he looks fine to me.

Where are we with needing, at least 8 home-grown players in the 25 man squad.

Of the players we had in the squad last season who are technically still with us, I make it 13 players:
Trafford
Roberts
Humphries
CJER
Worrall
Laurent
Cullen
Brownhill
Anthony
Edwards
Ramsey
Hannibal
Barnes

Maybe one to keep an eye on,

Gaetan Perrin for Auxurre has refused a contract extension. Would not be shocked if we are all over him.

If we sign Perrin, surely that means CJ will be staying.

Parker has said in the last week that he is confident Brownhill and Egan-Riley will sign new deals, I'd say that's a more reliable source.

Grimsdale

The Spurs link is complete nonsense. It's basically Richard Keys saying he'd imagine Parker would be interested if Spurs wanted him and the compensation would probably be around 10 million.

It’s incredible that we have only conceded 15 goals. The nearest to us on that stat is Leeds who have conceded almost double that. The other amazing stat they quoted in the match commentary is that we've only conceded two goals all season in the last half an hour of games and both of those turned o...

The main camera seemed to fall off its stand/perch at one point in the first half and the picture was as lob-sided for a short time. Made me feel sea sick watching it.

I thought the game had somehow been transported to Yeovil when that happened.

I think we've just equalled Blackpool's record of 22 scorers in a Championship season in 2010/11.

Grimsdale

Was disappointed with the result at the time but in the cold light of day I agree that it's a point gained.

It now means that three wins and two draws from our last five games will guarantee promotion.

Out of 20 play off finals the team finishing 3rd has won 9 meaning 11 winners came from a team not finishing 3rd. That means a team not finishing 3rd has won more play off finals.
