    When Fox was brought in I saw him as direct competition for Hoolahan at the top of the diamond and I was quite surprised when he played him at the base.

    I actually think he played pretty well in both the games we played, but we did miss a more physical presence. Crofts was brilliant against Scunthorpe and for me the role is his to lose.

    Korey Smith was also excellent second half against Scunthorpe and he should retain his place. I see Fox as competing for his position but could also provide good cover in the other roles.

    It is good that we are finally talking about this level of competition though. The once I can see really missing out is Stephen Hughes, not sure where he fits in really. I would keep him until January as cover and then when Adeyemi completes his loan at Bradford, move Hughes on.

    Oh God. Yesterday''s win was just my sixth in 23 away games I have been to.

    I am a bit sad, just worked out:

    6 wins

    4 draws

    13 defeats

    Scored: 21

    Conceded: 36 (not helped by 0-6 defeat at Fulham!)

    Best memories: Barnsley away (won 2-0), Ipswich away (won 2-0) yesterday''s last minute winner, Last minute winner by Paul McVeigh at Crewe.

    We have also scored in every away game we have played under Lambert.

    That is a fantastic record!

    I am going to try and work out my away day record. To do that I would have to look at all the League Tables to see where I have been. I reckon it is quite poor though.

    10 wins in 38 isnt actually all that bad!

    Sorry if this message should come under ''other football'' but it is linked as Bellamy came through our academy.

    He has been unfairly treated by Man City. Despite them signing players for £20 left right and centre, he was probably their best attacking player last season. In the derby against Utd (which they lost 3-4) he was electric and many of their goals came as a result of him attacking with pace. Especially on the break away from home.

    I wonder where Bellamy will head next? Probably Fulham to link up with Mark Hughes. I, for one, think Bellamy is one of the best players in the Premier League and although some think he is arrogant and cocky, I feel he is passionate and wants to win.

    I can''t believe there can be another club''s fans in the country who slate a young striker who has come through the ranks as much as our fans slate Chris Martin.

    What a talent he is, 23 goals last season and a wide variety of goals too. He can score from anywhere and his free kicks are immense! He is still only 22 I think, so let''s give him the backing he deserves. He is actually more level headed than many people think and comes across well on interviews too.

    Well done Chrissy and thanks for the report, Hucks. You Legend.

    I can remember similar messages when Mackay was first playing for us in the Championship.

    Let''s give Nelson a few Championship games to assess first, shall we? At the end of the day that is what a squad is for and why we have Askou and Whitbread waiting in reserve. If he has a few mares I am sure PL will change it.

    For now though, lets get behind Nelly. He played a big part in getting us here last year.

    Team for Saturday

    Ruddy

    R Martin

    Nelson

    Ward

    Drury

    K Smith

    Fox

    Lappin

    Hoolahan

    Holt

    C Martin

    So - the same as last night (don''t know why I didn''t just say that). Based on Smith and Lappin''s performances I feel Crofts and Surman will have to get their place back.

    Crofts was good against Watford, but I stilll think Fox has been very good over the two games.Keeps us ticking along and passing is very swift and accurate. However, if Lambert feels he needs a ''destroyer'' away from home maybe I would recall Crofts for Fox. Korey Smith must play.
