    Or McLean just isn't as bad as some want to make him out to be, and he has 2x championship title medals plus being regularly picked by two experienced managers and coaching teams to back him up.

    I suspect he will be a mainstay in our midfield this season, although Gibbs will be a player.

    Mclean is crap, and we'd be infinitely better off shipping him out and putting somebody useful in. He offers us pretty much nothing, every week. He is a jack of all trades and master of none. Definition of a mediocre player and the fact he is a mainstay and hasnt been replaced is exactly the reason we can never establish ourselves in the top flight. If we cant do better than mclean in midfield, then we wont be staying in the prem should we go up again. Genuinely baffled as to why he is picked.

    I wouldn't be sorry to see him go. A swap deal for Farke would be ideal. I'd do that as a straight swap, no consideration needed, however I don't think BMG would sit for that somehow.

    I thought he'd smash the championship but it appears that's not going to happen. 

    Money could be better spent elsewhere. Can we ship Gibson out whilst we're at it. More error prone than Bassong, and at least Seb was entertaining to watch when he'd do his customary Messi like dribble from the edge of his own box  once a fortnight. Gibson is an absolute liability at this point.

    I am hoping that both teams will be taking this fixture seriously and so put out their strongest sides and not use the game as an opportunity to blood second string players to give them pitch minutes. Smith needs to get his best team to play as a team and not 11 individuals who met in the pub car park ten minutes before kick off. The team does need match time to “gel” (as the “gellers” keep telling us). Also looking forward to seeing John Ruddy and Placheta turn out in blue against their old club.  Not sure how Norwich view this fixture, a distraction from the main task of trying to achieve something in the Championship, or an opportunity for a lucrative cup run?

    Given that Smith said there will be wholesale changes to the team, in the press conference this morning, I suspect we're not that bothered. He did say Sara would be starting though 👍

    Should be at least 60 minutes of play, game stops equals clock stopped

    I agree with the sentiment, but I'm also an nfl fan. 60minute games take 3 hours to play. Admittedly, there is more changeover as there are essentially different teams that come on depending on if attacking or defending, but stopping the clock in Football would make life very difficult for trains etc on evening games.

    Thankyou, but honestly I didn't write it for sympathy or well wishes (as welcome as they are) I wrote it as it's Been a shïte morning and the opportunity to get it all out there to others instead of the dog (as the missus, my mum and even the brother in law are all at work) means it clears my own air slightly. Lol

    I appreciate you didn't write it for sympathy and well wishes but you're getting both from me I'm afraid. I've spent the last 6 months watching my partner's mum fight and ultimately lose against a really aggressive cancer so you have nothing but my absolute best wishes, and I hope you get some good news soon.

    For a second there, I saw the tags in the URL and got very excited we were signing Jacob Ramsey on loan.

    A bit like thinking you're signing Jude Bellingham and ending up with his younger brother. Not to say the younger brothers in both examples are no good. 

    An ex colleague of mine taught both Jude and Job at school. Both excellent geographers in case you were wondering.

    Job was always regarded as the higher potential of the two in terms of footballing ability at youth level by the way. No idea how he's developing now, but obviously has a long way to catch up to Jude

    Total unknown so reserving judgement. But take away the Brazilian romance and the hype and the stats alone look a bit meh- but then he is young. When all is said and done we have probably just spent a wedge on an exotic version of Kieran Dowell. Time will tell   

    Looks more like Bradley Johnson with more dribbling ability to me.
