After yesterday, I must admit I'm a little excited. Thought we were superb. I'm not so much excited that we're going to win the league than it has been so much more enjoyable than last season already. At the Derby home game last year, I thought how far off them we are (I know we won but for an...

Not just you. Completely agree with that. Anything we get in the next couple of days would be a bonus and I find it hard to believe we're not going to let any fringe players leave (either permanently or on loan). Thought Baldock and Hemed were very good yesterday but we do lack depth unless...

It would be very harsh to drop Hemed after the way he played yesterday. Baldock played well but he missed the chance to finish the game in the first half.

Before yesterday I'd have said false but, after seeing the way we dominated a very good Ipswich side, I have changed my mind. I'm not saying we're going to win the league but we deserve to be top at the moment.

Sounds like a good signing. With LuaLua, March, Murphy and Manu all vying for the wide positions (and Rosenior an option there for tough away games), we look like we have real options on the wing. If we sign a forward in the next couple of days, this is probably the best Albion squad I've ever...

Completely agree. Having gone from three in midfield to two there might have been a danger that we'd have been overrun but Kayal and Stephens have dominated. Can't believe a few people on here would have been happy to sell Stephens to Derby. It is a concern that, if one of them does get...

Seriously the club can't win. Why not just let the club get on with it and not read something into every comment that comes from the club? Ideally all our business will be sorted by Tuesday but there's a chance that it won't. In that situation, we will obviously look to the loan window.

It's a simple case of context. I imagine the club were asked about what happens if they don't get their targets. If we've not confirmed the targets, we can't guarantee we'll get them so we obviously will say the loan window is an option. The club have delivered this window and hopefully they...

Shame we missed out on Chelsea but I'm not too worried. We had our best League Cup run for a long time last year and it did us no good in the league (whereas we were knocked out in the first round both play off seasons).

It was obvious all along that Walton would make mistakes. He is a young goalkeeper learning his trade. Maybe the people who moaned about him being loaned out and said he should be number one this season might like to change their mind given he's conceded a few at Bury and Stockdale has started...

Others make a fair point. The fact you rated CMS so highly shows how much we should respect your opinion on Stephens.

Fair enough. I know there are some fans who don't rate him, I was just a bit surprised by the suggestion people hate him. I'm sure there are a few fans that would have taken the £2.5 million from Derby. They would have been wrong though as Stephens and Kayal are forming a fantastic partnership...

Is Stephens that controversial? Do people really hate him with a passion? I've seen some people maybe don't rate him as highly as others but hate is a strong word.

Really impressed by the way the club has handled. There's been no suggestion that Dunk refused to play from them. Just from media sources. Like many, I assumed that Hunemeier and Goldson signing meant we were going to lose Dunk but it seems we're aiming a bit higher this season. I genuinely...

Would be amazed (but obviously delighted) if we got Vydra. Find it hard to believe but having had a good start to the season, I suppose we've got a bit more chance than a month ago.

We must have had an amazing defence last season to get a top 8 defensive record with the worse keeper in the league. I never saw an interview where he said he was the worse keeper in the league. And I assume you saw all keepers in the division regularly to make that judgement. If ever anyone...

Last season you claimed you had nothing against Stockdale and your criticism was fair (which much of it wasn't). This thread proves that you have some sort of agenda against him and I've no idea why. Completely irrational comments. How can you say he didn't win us the game when we'd have been...

He got a lot of stick because people for some reason didn't warm to him and he made a couple of early mistakes so almost any goal he conceded became his fault. Considering how terrible we were last year, if Stockdale was that bad we wouldn't have had such a good defensive record (our defensive...

Complete rubbish. He made a couple of mistakes but also won us games later in the season. As Gazwag says there are a number of goals that were put down as mistakes by so called fans (like you) which wouldn't have been counted as mistakes for Kuipers or Kuszczak. It's pathetic to be honest.

I think he's done a very good job so far. Turned us in to a decent team this season and, if we can get a couple more attacking signings before the window closes, we might even be real contenders for the top six. Last season was only about survival and he achieved that, although it wasn't pretty...
