Clough Jnr didn't appreciate it at all. He turned his phone off for the entire day.

He's clearly his father's son then. I imagine that's exactly the sort of manoeuvre Brian would pull if he was about in this day and age!

From Kenneth's post-match missive: We were very close with two other forwards, Liam Boyce of Burton Albion and Derby County’s David Nugent, and we will definitely seek out options again for January. We had a deal agreed with Derby for Nugent but he ultimately decided that he wanted to fight for his...

Struggling to pick a side with Oztumer in as well, never mind Vela. After seeing the Birmingham I’m not sure why we’d be wanting to get Oztumer in the side right now. Mind it’s beyond me why Wildschut is starting now too. I wasn't there today so I can't comment on Wildschut's performance. It seems ...

Lol. #sevenfigurebid Anyway, now it's (slammed) shut. Roaring success for me. Don't think we're weaker anywhere (maybe Parky Nadine was better than any of our current forwards but overall we're stronger there) and much better in certain positions (RB and vitally CM where we woeful last year). I thi...

The thing that pushes us above our budgetary performance bracket is our manager. The difference between us and Burton and Barnsley was certainly not the quality in our squad but the quality of our manager. Just like Big Sam all those years back. That for me is worth it’s weight in gold right now. W...

Now, Chris Wilder is clearly a very, very good manager and I doubt that Parky will ever play beautiful football but we can't really expect him to properly compete with such a financial gulf. Nobody wants him to play beautiful football week in week out but we do expect organisation and bucket loads ...

Our midfield must be the worst in the division, just static - they don't move, they don't compete, they just sit off and watch...no one runs with the ball, they constantly give the ball away. I know its only one game but Bristol City & B/ham played us off the park and the same again today - we come...

We'll get beat. I've never been more sure of it. It's the fixture in the first 6 I had us down to lose. Don't know what it is about them but just get the same feeling. We'll probably win 2 nil. It certainly has an air of defeat about it. We've been very fortunate to have got the results we have fro...

We'll get beat. I've never been more sure of it.

How weird was it watching via the red button too? Slightly jerky computer-graphics feel to the picture quality, no replays and clearly a commentator sat on his own in a Sky studio having to speak for 90 mins from a crib-sheet!!! Still, excellent result, and I can't believe the negativity on here ev...

Am having to stop and pinch myself..... Great to see our progression as a team Fair play to PP and his staff for turning our ship around It would be interesting to see what he could create if he had a few quid to spend People underestimated how poor our squad was last season. It was absolutely shoc...

I totally agree but perhaps they will at least follow the managers instructions ? Parkinson see's Wheater & Beevers every day in training and on the pitch for the past two years - so he must think that they are capable of playing higher up the pitch even without any pace OR why would he be instruct...

So if the players i.e. Wheater & Beevers are incapable of following the managers instructions because they are slow as fcuk, how many times does he (the manager) continue allowing them to play before he thinks 'fcuk this' they are not doing what I'm asking them to do & brings in players who do foll...

I don't hold yesterday against the mids. Because the defence dropped so deep, the mids had to follow them and it meant Bristol had loads of space to play in. It made it hard for any of them to know when to press and when to sit. That's then made worse by them only having had one game together and M...

Sorry, yes, they've brought in triple the amount that they've spent, which equates to about £10M. Nevertheless, financially we're worlds apart.

There was a complete lack of intensity & energy in the first 20 mins, which then became a lack of intensity in the first 30 & then the entire 1st half. Whether that was down to coaching (or the lack of it), management instruction or the players themselves only the manager & coaching staff will know...

To play that poorly and get 2 goals and a draw is either the sign of a good side or a fecking lucky one. I'll let you lot decide which you think we are. The latter. We were fortunate to leave with a point, despite at one stage leading. I hope the new left-back we sign can play straight away because...
