    Well cheated Leeds.

    We were shocking yesterday, absolutely terrible. If our pass success rate was any higher than 40% then the machine was broke.

    People having a go about our empty seats while we are still fitting in 30,000 but is it any surprise that people stay home when they've had dross like that for so long? I tend to go to a handful of home matches a season and worked out the other day that I haven't seen a home win live since we beat Stoke 2-1 in early 2015!

    That must be a different Scott Hogan that's scoring tonight because I'm pretty sure he died last week

    Sounded like a rolled ankle. Almost dropped him, but this is a good sign.

    Harlee gone to Birmingham, not unexpected sadly. Love the bloke but as with Button and Bidwell, final year of contract and someone willing to pay a load of money means they are gone. Egan is like Harlee from 3 years ago, raw unfinished product but a talent, hoping he can form a decent partnership with Barbet who I rate as our best CB, as he has looked like shite playing with Bjelland.

    Jota as we know is in the same situation as Harlee, it's a media clusterfuck at the moment as to who is and isn't bidding, who knows where he eventually ends up.. looking more likely he'll end up at a Championship club which is sad but as with Hogan getting the money we need is the most important thing.

    Transfer deadline day with Harry at the helm. This is what dreams are made of.

    Dreams of administration and liquidation, but dreams nonetheless.

    I hope we as a club are squirming over letting Shotton go for 300k to see him now going for 3m.

    Rumours Butterfield is on the way out today as well. We are a bit of a mess right now. Rowett is attempting to overhaul the whole squad in 1 window. That normally doesn't go well but I think it's needed so maybe this year is for rebuilding...dunno

    6m for Jota. Are you fucking kidding me? MEL GET THE FUCKING CHEQUE BOOK OUT MATE

    I'm normally completely against big money moves but this one looks too good to miss

    If this doesn't come off I'm hoping for Cameron Brannigan on loan or Kent if that's even remotely possible

    You are spot on about the re-shaping the squad thing, Though I saw big Cam from Norwich last night, Not sure he is what we need

    Shotton was VERY inconsistent for us and never really impressed me tbh, If he has been a revelation at Brum then good for him, Makes me question why it didn't work out for us.

    Not really. Inconsistent is the word which immediately sprung to my mind when I saw we'd sold him. For every game where he looks as if he should be playing at the highest level there are two in which his legs look like they're being controlled by a drunken puppet master.

    Happy with £3 Million.

    Jerome?

    Bite their hands off. He is made for getting out of this league.

    We should be asking that about all the people we've spent a lot of money on over the past few years. I think we need to start shaping a squad so people have defined roles in a system and fit it. Been all over the place for a few years now. Think reality might bite hard soon.

    would be happy with Jerome would expect Martin to be off though although not sure where tbh

    God, I love Jerome.

    So good, so awful, scorer of two goals that maybe should have won Premiership goal of the season.

    Plus his debut for you lot was one of the all time best!

    I seem to remember him scoring a goal after about 13 seconds when I went to Pride Park in, I want to say 2008/2009 season?

    Don't remember bab.

    Now, holding off Mascherano like he was a sickly child before hitting the ball so hard if Reina could have got a hand on it chances are it'd have taken the thing off, in front of the Kop, that sticks.

    Song is though, along with Jota.

    Play-offs the aim now, no hiding.

    Or, the club prematurely tweeted the deal was done when it looks like he may have actually failed his medical.

    I will defend DCFC to the hilt BUT binning Bryson off is unforgivable to me, Though we are still trying to work a deal for David Davis from Brum.

    no idea pal, If we end up after this with just Bradley,Hudd and Thorne as our midfielders we are fucked. Hudd is ageing and Thorne's fitness will be a question mark, Just madness.

    Look after my lads JP must say I'm glad they ended up where they did and not Fulham/QPR like Button and Bidwell. Don't need to say any more about Jota, he's the best player I've ever seen play for us. Harlee is a blood and guts warrior - you will love the guy. He has matured under us into a top player and can play a bit with the ball at his feet too. He doesn't lose headers. Just forgive his occasional fuck up. Maxime is a class act. Technically fantastic and a very solid defender. He had a great understanding with Jota down the right that should translate for you immediately.

    We rejected bids for Bentley, Woods and Egan which was good. 12m for three players is good and vital for our continued success - two who were out of contract and wouldn't sign and one release clause. It is a sad day and caused a lot of our fans to go into meltdown but that's what happens with our transfer policy, this is what we do. We can't match the kind of wages Birmingham are dishing out and we aren't even close. We made the replacements already this window, Dalsgaard will replace Max full time and I'm surprised he stuck around as long as he did - I thought he was gone at the start of summer and Dalsgaard took his place to start the year anyway (despite Colin being a better player at this point in their careers). Harlee lost the captaincy as he wouldn't sign a deal so the writing was on the wall there too - as I've said before we'll have to find the right combo with Barbet/Egan/Bjelland but we can move on with those for sure. Jota is irreplaceable but always going, Canos and Watkins are unbelievable players and Maupay looks great, Jozefzoon and Josh Clarke still give us some serious pace and width if needed and Romaine Sawyers has been are best player this season so we still have a promising attack. And big important talents like Henry, Bentley, Woods, Sawyers, Nico, McEachran, Lasse (and McLeod and eventually Judge to return from long term injury) and all the afformentioned players are here and all have plently of potential. Onwards and upwards. Again.

    Kieftenbeld is a very Rowett like player. Davies is the better of the two, and it wouldn't surprise me if he got told that wasn't going to happen and so moved targets. Sensible head, good engine, can occasionally hit a wonder. Never going to set the world on fire but a handy player to have in your squad.

    I knew we had to jettison some players given the number we've signed, but I think it's a mistake to let Donaldson go. He offered a natural, heads down, channel runner which we no longer have. I know we're moving away from that, but it's sometimes handy to have that in reserve if what you start with isn't working.

    Yeah, sorry about this mate. Between them and Vassell (and the 25 others) we seem to have had a pretty good time of it. Reading up about Harlee, looks very much like we've sold our can be great/can be woeful defender in Shotton and upgraded.

    Harlee has really cut out the basic errors in the last season. Still got it in him but nothing like his League One days and his distribution now borders on being classy. He is a very passionate man, I'm sure you and all your fans will love the man.

    You can check this out, from our first Championship year this famous glorious game shows Harlee cocking up and then doing his absolute best to make up for it followed by Jota scoring in one of the greatest moments I've had as a Brentford fan. These two are both Brentford legends.

    Lawrence is dynamite in the middle whereas his cut inside and deliver a weak cross routine is pretty meek from the wing.

    It relied on Aina running out for no reason instead of staying and nodding it away at the front post, Kingsley and Dawson getting in each other's way and having bad defensive body shape and whoever it was at the back post letting Johnson go. It's pretty rare he goes to the byline like that.

    Nothing would delight me more than if we thump Brum in our next home game and that was the final nail in the cunts coffin.

    I'm hoping he's given a long time and compounds it by being shit shit shit. Same with Bruce. Hoping they can both ruin the season before fucking off thank you very much.

    Looks like a bad injury with Dalsgaard being stretchered off. I hope he's okay. I think he's looked very positive this season.

    Head injury, it was a clash of heads, defender's head went into the back of his as they were challenging for the ball. Hopefully he'll be ok, looked worrying.

    Another game where we have played well and come away with nothing

    "It's Saturday, and you've planned to go out with your missus. You know what she's gonna wear, what fragrance she'll be wearing, you know where you're going, and know what your night's gonna be like.

    "You're walking down the road, hand in hand, and across the road a group of lads start shouting and abusing your missus, saying she's not very nice, quite ugly, 'what are you doing with her on your arm? She's a minger'.

    "What would you do? What you want to do is cross the road, confront them, take them all on. But you've got your missus with you. You turn round, look at her, and what do you see? Sad eyes. So do you confront them, have a go at them, or do you make sure you look after the person that's closest to you?

    "I've got a football team that's getting criticised by lots of people. What do I do? Do I turn around and start barracking them, or do I look after my team? I'm making sure those sad eyes believe in me.

    "If your missus turns around and sees any doubt in your mind - sees you thinking, 'oh, you're not the best, are you' - what does she think? I can't afford to cross the road and take [those people] on. It would be like me taking on the Paddock with my trousers down.
    I think this sounded better in Keith Curle's head.

    The only thing that can be done to stop the slide of Birmingham City into being a joke club with ridiculous owners is appointing Steve McClaren.

    Off topic, but I'm off to Derby in the morning, PG, for a day and evening of eating and boozing.

    Despite being to Nottingham dozens and dozens of times, none of us have ever been to Derby. Come to think of it, I have no idea how it came up as our chosen destination. Anyway, any recommendations on what to do there or places to go? Apart from the Derby/Brum game, of course.

    I'm missing West Ham/Spurs on the TV for this.

    I'd be lying if I said I could recommend anywhere mate tbh. I have been down Notts more And any time I have spent there is a bit of a blurry haze, That said I seem to remember a few decent little bars in and around the walkabout area (discarding that itself if it's not your thing ). There is a lovely all you can eat Indian place called Slice Of India, But it's just off town centre as you would see if you put it in google maps. Sorry I am so useless

    Ooh, all you can eat Indian sounds good, as our 2 pussy friends who think chicken korma is too hot are not coming.

    Ok, I'll look into the Walkabout area then. I see it being a bit of a bar crawl to be honest, bud.

    Walkabout/Standing Order (Wetherspoons) is were we do start out generally (load ourselves with shitty lager and cheap pitchers) and then just kind of wander round seeing if there is anywhere 'That looked alright from the outside (Rodney Trotter:Go West Young Man).

    Sounds like standard behaviour for us. We'll have a few at the hotel beforehand too.

    And I will consider disowning the other two. The chicken nugget eating, water drinkers of the group.

    Luton Town sure are banging them in at the moment. 11 in 2 games. Could be their year to get up to League 1.

    Dan Bentley is a hero

    First he saves a bloke from drowning and then saves a penalty

    (also good job Romaine Sawyers you are quite the footballer)

    Aha. Luton is a fucking hole. I refuse to go there, unless I need to go to work HQ. But they're the local team and that 30 point deduction back in the day was utter bollocks. 30 ffs.

    Never been to Luton, Sure there are some lovely people there, But what I have seen in terms of their football club on tv etc leads me to believe their fans are maybe one rung below Millwall when it comes to acting like witless oafs from the 70's and 80's.

    Not been for some time, to be fair. In fact, maybe half a dozen times total. Never had any issues. Did jump on the bandwagon though in 2009 when they took 30,000 to Wembley. I was on a coach and one of the blokes with us was doing the old 'wanker' hand gesture at a coach passing us. It was then pointed out to him that it wasn't a Scunthorpe coach, but another Luton one. He didn't stop.

    But all clubs have knuckle dragging fans, right?

    Arrests at football pretty much blows my mind. 99% booze related, I'm sure. Very, very sad though.

    2 Wed fans got chucked out for fighting each other today, Fucking mugs

    Interesting game, Obviously when Loovens got a Red after 4 minutes and we scored then obviously they had to go defensive, can't fault them for that, But Lawerence had a chance that hit the post no too long after that would have forced them to play a bit, As it was we had to wait till the end to get the second.
    As well as that, Fletcher could have won a pen for Wednesday themselves and Westwood MIGHT have seen red for handling when Keogh went through on him but I will have to watch the highlights as it was the other end of the pitch to me.
    Last point, If Wed were looking to get themselves back into the game I would have considered bringing Jao on earlier, He's a big unit and bullied our defenders on a couple of occasions, As for their midfield, Bannan,Wallace and Lee all seemed about 5 ft and a bit

    CC: This is the fourth game in a row where we have had critical decisions go against us #swfcLIVE

    CC: The players fought a lot, even when with just 10 men. I am very happy with them, they gave strong signals in the game #swfcLIVE

    CC: Fletcher was pushed, it was a clear penalty. He is a striker and wants to score and there is no doubt, it was a penalty #swfcLIVE

    There was a lad ejected from our game today for shouting 'Get up you soft puff' at Cabaye.

    Homophobic hate speech according to the stewards

    Well I mean it is somewhat homophobic, There was a bloke near me at the Brum game last month who called Kuszczak a 'poof', A 'ponce' and a 'nancy' because of his dubious hair, Some football fans are idiots simple as.

    Seen some Wednesday guys on twitter asking 'what happened to the double jeopardy rule?' , Am I missing something here? Are they trying to say you can't get sent off when giving away a pen?

    You can still get sent off if there's no intention to play the ball but a mistimed tackle when there's a clear goal scoring that results in a penalty is no longer an automatic red.
