Did you travel down? Other than a 15 minute spell, we were absolutely dross so I wouldn’t get too excited :lol: - very frustrating. Wasn’t undeserved either.


We've looked pretty good this season we bossed both our first two games. Considering we didn't win any of our first three games last season we're off to a strong start.

Just got my ticket for Birmingham v Swansea.

First trip to St Andrews. I hope we don’t lose because one of my mates is a Blues fan and also extremely annoying.

Swansea and Stoke didn't seem to play in the league cup, but West Brom did? I don't understand.

I thought it was the relegated teams didn't do the 1st round (no idea why that would be the case), but I guess not?

22 Championship clubs play in Round 1 and as West Brom finished bottom of the Premier League, they play in Round 1.

Correct. That isn't anything against Wimbledon - they may well have beaten us if we'd played well - but we didn't really give them the opportunity to play against a competent team last night.

Afraid I didn't make it to that game - can see how my phrasing made it sound like I had.

Make sure you get your injections, the place is a legit toilet. Horrid stadium

Fabian Delph is a banana split.

What on earth is going on here? I don't think I've seen Blues dominate a game for about ten years!!

I expected Swansea to make mincemeat of them.

Well I'll take a point after that first half, good lord.

Our midfield looks very lightweight. Hopefully when Fer is fully fit that will help, but more options would be good (in all area of the pitch tbh).

Nice to see some of the young Welsh lads playing (they never got a chance in the prem) and that we are going back to passing football. But we have Leeds next who will press us even more and won't be nearly as wasteful...

Still unbeaten, but a lot of hard work needed.

I think a lot of people (Sky included given they keep putting us on TV) think we should still have PL quality about us but we’ve pretty much solid everyone (and it was debatable how many were that quality anyway...).

Today only Olsson, VDH and Carroll in the starting lineup were regular players for us in the PL. We had 3 new signings (who are all really young) and then youth players making up the rest of the side.

It seems theyre invested in the idea of building for the future and giving Potter time. There is very little chance of us being in the promotion hunt this season but I like the idea of us building for the future at least.

Why didn’t you tell me before I put the flaming bet on?

I let my GF pick the teams for today’s fiver accumulator because I fancied wasting a fiver - she’s actually done alright, three up, one down, three drawing at the moment.

5 points from three games. Drew with Barnsley today. Hopefully we can keep up this form and finish in a comfortable position.

Sounded like we had a decent game today, sadly was at work so couldn't keep up to date with it so had to make do with the highlights.
