    I'm recording it and I was looking forward to seeing some ex-Barnsley involvement, but....

    Dike is injured YET AGAIN
    Mowatt is on the bench so clearly not first choice any more
    Quina is on the bench for Watford so would be interesting if he gets on. Wish we could have got him back

    Did they sign Dike or Oulare?

    I saw that neither Woodrow or Morris started for Luton at the weekend.
    I’m sure there are many players that have left us for more money but very few seem to have much career progression otherwise.

    I'd have Mowatt back on loan in a heart beat.

    I suppose Conor is the exception to the rule but, as you say, most seem to sink almost without trace after being star players at Oakwell. Jacob Brown has done alright for Stoke as well but there are not many who have prospered.

    I bet he'd come as well, but the money will always be the issue.

    That's why I suggested it. I don't think he's Billy big bo lla cks. Lovely, genuine young man.

    I'd take Mowatt in a heartbeat on loan. But why would he drop a league? I'd be very, very surprised if other championship clubs would take him, especially a loan

    He's wasted on WBA's bench.

    Aye I'm in agreement with you there bud. I suppose since he was free it wasn't much of a gamble especially since it's a Val signing and they probably didnt expect to sack him after 2 minutes, but it's definitely looking like a bad move from a footballing point of view. Least he's made a pretty penny or 2 ey.

    Forgot WBA keeper had played for us - he'll be seeing that goal again and again

    The commentator over here at the start of the game, stated that the manager thinks "It's a bad one", when referring to Dike's thigh injury, picked up yesterday in training.

    West Brom look like a decent side even though it's Steve Bruce. Picked up a couple of good free transfers in John Swift and Jed Wallace.

    Yeah they're excellent freebies for a top end championship squad, fair play to them for that. Still don't think Bruce will last long though, albeit doing alright today

    And despite all your failures, virtually guaranteed to get another high paid job at some point for doing the same thing you was previously deemed a failure at...:)
