Can’t have many complaints really. Derby worked hard and didn’t let us play, an unattractive game from both sides with the Rams creating the better chances. Raddy made a mess of a great chance he’d created, and Bywater made an excellent double save – but the rest if the chances of note came for the [...]

In case you hadn’t realised, we’ve a football match on Saturday. Whilst it may not get much national recognition, games between these two sides are generally passionate affairs – and I’m really looking forward to it.

Less of the aimless wandering around a late night office, and very much like the Match of the Day 2 format. I think the industry call it more of a ‘magazine’ [...]

Nottingham Forest – 2 Reading – 1 Contrasting halves for the Reds today saw them play some of their best stuff this season in the opening half – only to meet a much more organised and hard-working Reading side in the second. It comes to something when you come away from a win pondering what [...]

I’ve resisted the urge to regurgitate the rumours doing the rounds at the moment – rumours which are, actually, pretty quiet. Certainly on the incoming front anyway – but there was a big fat one in the outgoing direction that has been rumbling on sites like ‘Football Rumours’ for a while. Today it was picked [...]

Saturday’s opponents will still be on a high come the weekend after their dramatic last-gap win at Anfield this evening. A last minute penalty for the Royals took the tie to extra time, in which a Shane Long header – his first goal of the season – was enough to see the Championship side deservedly [...]
