OOPS! Of course, we signed Atkinson but then sent him back out on loan from whence he came, as part of the one deal. :oops:

Re: January window

I agree Ty - very good business. We have defensive cover from Grayson, and I wonder if McNally might now go out on loan, as Atkinson did last year. We have the winger (hopefully 'pacy'). After Obita's departure, KR said he was looking for two wingers - can Lee play out wide? But I get the impression...

Re: January window

Agree about Obita. His performances and impact have, at best, levelled off. Hearing about his personal circumstances, his move makes sense all ways round. Interesting listening to the post-match discussion yesterday and speculation around the perceived failures of Winnall since his move. Would Grigg...

Re: 7 in a row

For once, tabloid headlines like "seven goal thriller" and "bonkers match" are absolutely spot on. It is a while since I have been so fidgety with nervous energy watching a match, given how it kept swinging back and forth. All of our goals were again really good - but the collect...

Re: Gas Meeters

How are we still only 11th after winning five games in a row in the league? Probably because of the games we have NOT played, whilst other teams have continued to have games and pick up points. One thing that was really clear to me was the value of having a really tall centre back. I thought Moore ...

iFollow problems

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced trouble lately accessing the booking form on iFollow for matchday tickets? Everything was working OK for me until this week. Then I had problems getting a ticket for the Cambridge game, and today I have had major issues booking online for the Northampto...

Re: Where are they now?

My local rag will report tomorrow that former U (and willy-waver) Gavin Whyte will take a loan move to Hull City after struggling to get into the Cardiff City side since Neil Harris took over from Neil Warnock. Maybe this means Hull will lose interest in Nathan Holland, boosting the chances of him ...

Re: 14 in 4

Good job for Burton we did not have our shooting boots on. Had the header back across goal from Taylor, the Henry open goal and the Shodipo miss from two yards out gone in (frankly, at least two of them should have), then we would have been looking at a rugby score, if not a cricket score. None of t...

Jack - he's behind you

Got to say something about Jack's performance against the Real Dons. Yes, he had kept some clean sheets but, to be brutally honest, he was never really, seriously, tested in those games. On Saturday - wow! Is this the game when he - cliché alert - came of age? The second of the double saves in the f...

Re: Rotten

It is such a cliché, but as poor as they were, we still had to beat them. Taylor did what he does best. Agyei showed glimpses of just how good he can be (his cross for Taylor's second was exquisite and his goal was sublime). But all round, that second half performance was excellent. And it came on t...

Re: Suffolking improvement?

There was one brief moment in the first half, after yet another ponderous and ineffectual move, when we suddenly played a few slick passes and cut through them with ease. It certainly jolted me awake...for all of 30 seconds. What was so amazing was the way it highlighted how lethargic our play had b...

Re: Rotten

Substitutes can only change the game for the better if they are better than the players they replace, or if they enable a different shape to be taken, or some such. I have not seen anything from either Shodipo or Agyei in previous matches (including Wigan and Pompey) to suggest that they can deliver...

Re: Green shoots

Our win against a desperately poor Wigan side might have had its (considerable) limitations, but I also believe that the simple fact that we won, and scored two goals (in particular with Taylor getting one), was extremely valuable mentally, going into last night's game. This was clearly going to be ...
