For what it's worth, I thought you looked quite lively yesterday - very impressed with Lua Lua, Orlandi and Mackail -Smith - and I know enough of Kusczcak to know that he's someone you should keep hold of. Thought the main difference between us was Hoban( a great young defender who has really impressed this season) and his mate Ekstrand. Chalobah seems to be getting all the praise, but he can be very loose in possesion most games. Then again he is only 18.
Just to clear some stuff up about our infamous loanees - they are all here on a 'try before you buy' basis - some of them have settled well into English football and will be signed permanently in Jan, others sent back and presumably more sent for trial over here. Much more sensible than blowing millions on a Nathan Ellington - type flop that nearly costs us our club. The great thing is we're able to hold onto our players now - if we'd had been in this shape a few years ago, you'd never have taken Buckley off us, and Kusczcak would probably be holding off Almunia.
I suppose the greatest compliment I can give you is hoping you have a fairly mediocre season from here on - wouldn't fancy meeting you in the play-offs if we get that far!
