I agree to a point but I would say the first goal was completely avoidable and, if we'd not conceded that, we would probably have won the game 2-0 or 3-0. Having said all that, Preston have since beaten Huddersfield home and Norwich away (and were very unlucky not to get something from Newcastle...

I don't have any issue with Hull. They were a bit lucky that we lost to Wednesday (largely through bad luck and a poor refereeing decision) and got a more winnable final but I have no problem with them being in the Premier League. After the games last season, I really hope both Middlesbrough and...

I am going to be positive and say we will. I genuinely think this is all we need in January and am sure the club are working towards it already. One striker and let Manu go and that should be it for transfers hopefully. Still a long way to go before then but, if we're in a similar position to...

Great post. Completely agree with this. It took a while to get going for me with the disappointment still felt from last season, missing a couple of early home games, a couple of key injuries and the Stephens saga but now this season has really started for me. Somehow we seem to have gone under...

Agreed. I'm really looking forward to Villa onward when we have no international break until March. It is ridiculous to have so many so early in the season.

What an odd article. The only think I've seen from our end about Newcastle is responses to their Knockaert comments over the summer where they assumed they could sign him if they wanted to and we would never be able to keep him. Whether it is serious or a joke, it shows the arrogant side of...

So you decide to respond with abuse. Clever. I stand by my comment. There seems to be a need by some on here when praising a player to criticise the others. Hemed got 17 goals last season. He was about fourth or fifth in the top scorers list (behind mainly strikers who cost 5 to 10 times what he...

Agreed. He's a brilliant player on his day but they come along very rarely. The six league games at the start of last season showed what he can do with a run in the side. However, due to injuries, he has not got near that form since and doesn't look likely to do so.

The OP from Bozza seems to be more congratulating the club on a great signing rather than criticising others from what I see. It depends what you mean by questioned too. As I said in this thread, I was surprised we signed Duffy. I didn't question it as, to be honest, our recruitment team have...

They are incomparable. We spent £3.5 million apparently on one player. Derby, for example, bought a number of players for more than that (including Bradley Johnson for about £6 million). It seems to me that you are the one getting on your high horse without really having any reason to.

Why the need to slag off the other strikers (you know who play for team you support)? Hemed got 17 goals last year in his first season in English football. Not a bad return and has been a little unlucky with an injury/the form of Murray keeping him out of the team. Baldock is on a good run at...

Should be a good match. Will be a real test on how we react after the euphoria of Saturday. Expecting it to be a very close game (not like last season's match) but then I was expecting that up to the hour mark on Saturday.

I must admit to having this view at the time but I am willing to admit I was wrong now. I thought we'd be signing a centre back to compete for the positions but not be automatic first choice and was very surprised when we signed Duffy for the fee suggested. However, the more he plays, the more...

I agree. There can't be many English centre backs between Keane and Dunk. When he is a Premier League player next year (whether with us or for another club), I'm confident Dunk will be close to a call up if he carries on this form.

Agreed. He looks a fantastic player when I've seen him on TV. Very odd that Juventus would loan him to Bayern for two years before making them sign him permanently. Surely he is good enough for the Juventus side and, if not, sell him rather than loan him to another big club.

No we haven't in league or cup. Think he might have missed one in a friendly though

Olsson kicked Murray. Maybe Murray over reacted to the afters but Olsson had got sent off for that it would have been the right decision for the wrong reason.

Agree completely. I had my doubts, not based on his first two games, but just based on it seeming like a lot of money in a position we did well in last year. How wrong I was. As you say, he has been fantastic. Frankly, judging by Saturday, Duffy is the transfer that Norwich should have beaten...

People have very short memories. As you say, some said we should sell him last summer and then were asking why we kept him when he got sent off at QPR and then made a couple of errors. Barring his aberration against Derby, it's been very clear since then why we didn't sell him to Fulham back then.

Agree re the latter part of the incident but, as others have said, Olsson started it by kicking Murray. That is a red card. Not sure about the Skalak foul as not seen a replay but it looked a foul and booking live. And he was very lucky to get away with the dissent early on considering some of...
