I know it’s of the ‘month’ and not of the ‘15 minutes’ but Kone’s stunning hatrick (sustained by two other very decent strikes) wins it for me - setting a new EFL record to boot; we don’t do that too often. |

I agree with this. ‘Blocking’ games leads to ‘average’ points accrued and allows for some individual poor performances (like Burnley). Our Govt has recently done that with their housing ‘targets’ - using a ‘four year plan ‘ (where have I heard that before) instead of producing yearly results which predictably fell well short.
One game at a time worked for the greats like Shankley, Sexton, Paisley, Clough et al, so good enough for me. |

Millwall are chronically out of form. We will never get a better time to play them. We should be targeting a win. |

True to enjoy him now, but I am concerned that Dunne and Edwards are over-reliant on passing back to him already. In fact I don’t even think they consider it a pass ‘back’ at this stage, just part of a passing sequence, and it is only early November. As most know on here, I have more faith in Walsh than most, but whether its him or Ward next season, it is going to be one hell of a culture shock to our defence not to have Charles behind them. In fact I would argue that if Walsh is not getting a game, he should be recalled and both he and Ward spend as much time learning from Charles as possible. Without knowing anything about Ward, I respectfully suggest he will never be as good as Charles, but both he and Walsh need to work on closing the ability gap as much as possible. |

We have a patron saint of alcohol - just because. Anyway, she reckons there is a vast lake of wine in heaven. Well she reckoned that when she was alive, haven’t heard from her since, so she is either hammered or depressed. |

Vale’s main assets are his availability and versatility. He has moments of class and moments when he looks like he never saw a football before. A useful squad player when all are fit (which means he plays a lot) |

Have to say have no issues with International break. We are generally competitive so enjoy watching us. Hoping to get a result in Austria. |

I think the XG is skewed by games against Derby and Swansea where everything we hit went in. There is no doubt we have left points behind V Bolton, Charlton and Burnley Even 4 points more would leave us top 6. Not too bothered overall. As has been said as long as we are still in touch. The crucial period is between Nov and Feb. Two years ago it was Marti’s purple patch period, but last year esp from Jan,,,we fell away badly |

Yeah. i think you would have to distinguish between temporary loans and those that became permanent. Walker/Routledge Taarabt/Cook |

Other than the fact that he is not a Championship standard defender. For the life of me I don’t know why he was not loaned out/sold during the summer. |

Don’t think he was being singled out on last night’s performance, Nix. My understanding from the OP was looking for a general overview of how his season has gone so far.
For me - like most I suspect - it’s too hard to judge as he has had a real stop start season thus far, as have many of our players tbf. Having read the Sunderland fan’s view when we signed him I thought we had got an absolute steal but must admit to being quite underwhelmed so far. Didn’t see the first half last night where we apparently played much better than the second (could hardly have played worse) when he seems to have done well. Second half I felt, as others have said, he tucked in too much and left the RW with a lot of space, but that may have been per instructions .
Just based on the way he beasted Bowen,my preference would be (a fully fit) Kemper at LB. But that is not to say Cirkin should not be in the team. Adamson looks like a man that could do with a breather (which he likely won’t get in the International Break from a travel perspective anyway) so maybe Cirkin/Kemper cold play RB? Additionally, we are a much better team with Ronnie in CDM and if JCS has decided to do his annual disappearing act (anyone know what actually happened to him?) then maybe Cirkin could operate as a LCB. Overall, I’m glad we have him, but don’t think we have seen anything like the best of him yet. |

It was and I know there is some mitigation in that. But if Lloyd did that we would say ‘typical’. I just think that even allowing for just being on the pitch and long lay offs etc etc, Chair should have enough experience to lean forward and keep the shot low. |

I think that is a great description of it; a 0-0 with two dodgy goalkeeping moments. One thing that hasn’t happened this year (yet anyway and we have played some good teams) is going on a run of defeats. I know you couldn’t describe last night as ‘bouncing back’ from Southampton, but at least we prevented a second consecutive defeat. We haven’t lost two games in a row, never mind more than that, this season which is encouraging. |

Agreed, really poor effort from Chair and I’m a huge fan of his. Lovely cut back from Kolli and a player of his experience should be a lot more composed in front of goal than that. Whether he scores or not, he should at least hit the target. As for Obikwu, far too early (and we are not overwhelmed with fit/in form strikers) to write him off. Let’s give the lad a chance, if he gets motoring it will be like a new signing. |

And yet he had his best ever game for us as a striker playing off Kone v Swansea. I only saw the second half and we were dire for most of it. Passes going astray, huge hole down the centre,,,long balls to no-one, letting Burnley knock the ball around at will in front of us - very poor. |
