Generally optimistic vibes starting to quiver around Bramall Lane following our 3 win run. Norwood looks an excellent signing and with him and Duffy replacing Evans and Lundstrum in midfield we are starting starting to play the sort of football we were prior to Coutts' leg break last season. Talking of Coutts there is a good chance of him returning to the bench against Villa next weekend which would be great for him and the prospect of him Fleck, Norwood and Duffy running around in our midfield is already getting my juices running.

Cup game I know, but last night saw the lowest attendance for a game at the KC Stadium since it opened 16 years ago. This was even with cheap entry, which seems to put the kibbosh on any kind of pretence that people would flood back if tickets were cheaper. Yet another defeat served to highlight the glaring lack of quality at Nigel Adkins's disposal, and with 2 days of the loan window left, there seems to be no imminent signs of any deals being completed. Should no one come in, there seems to be an increasing consensus that Nige will walk, either before or after Saturday's match (against Frank Lampard's Derby, again). As an interesting aside, someone found that he'd 'liked' a tweet which contained a link to an article all about...........toxicity in the workplace

Originally posted by Kevin S View PostIpswich have got Jonathan Walters back on loan. Great coup, that.
Walters was Paul Hurst's 11th summer signing, Everton defender Matt Pennington is the 12th. Meanwhile, almost all of our own young pros have been nowhere near the first team and packed off on loan. It all feels a bit panicky at the moment and, I confess, not quite what I was hoping for.

Ha ha, a typical loan window deadline day at City, with us defying the odds and actually signing 2 players of decent quality, although whether it's enough to keep us up is another thing. We were linked with quite a few others across the day, including Marvin Johnson from Boro, but they seemed to want to hold onto him, only to ship him off to the Blunts at the last moment. This might not end up being such a problem though, due to the antics of Kamil Grosicki, who flew to Turkey to join Bursapor, had a medical and agreed terms, only to change his mind and was last seen running away from his hotel (no, really). Granted, the European loan window is open a bit longer and he may still end up elsewhere, but the possibility of getting his sulky arse back here and maybe getting him playing would give us a definite chance of avoiding relegation, if he can be bothered, of course.

Useful victory for Wednesday today at a place we never win (Reading) and we've shot up to ninth in the league now. A lot of fans seem to be getting rather excited at this and pointing out it's our best start under Chansiri, but the reality is this is just a par return. We've had a very easy start to the season, we beat Millwall, Ipswich and Reading, we didn't beat Wigan and Hull and we unsurprisingly lost to the only decent team we've played (Brentford) who absolutely took us to the cleaners. We've got a much more difficult run before the next international break, if we're still ninth at that point then I might join the excitement.

A late win against Forest who were dreadful in the first half. Pure Karankaball. After falling behind just before half-time, they showed for 20 minutes that they could play some football but Watkins’ winner was well deserved.
Twelve bookings in the game, seven for Forest. I’m encouraged by this as it shows that this season Brentford are more resistant to being bullied. And we’ve found another gem in Said Benrahma.
