Jbg.

Just a word today on JBG - he was excellent, he kept the ball, nice and tidy in possession, for a forgotten man he was worth his start.

Welcome back Joey.

Good to hear. If he stays fit and buys into the new style then he's like a new signing as well.

He did not "buy into it" Dd, he looked exactly the part of how VK wants to play. A newly promoted bunch of League 1 hackers are not really offering the same challenge as accomplished EPL defenders though. Good to see him back nevertheless.O:)

I thought he fit in well to the VK style both on Tuesday night and yesterday.Could have had a goal on Tuesday.

VK has been saying that getting players back fit is like a new signing. It is good to see him back. Let’s hope that he can stay fit.

Not 'could' CiB ---'should' ---if only he had gone with his head he would have scored! Having said that he played really well on Tuesday and was the same yesterday from all accounts.

In the past it's usually taken JBG 4/5 games after injury to really hit his straps, unfortunately it usually takes him only 5/6 games to get injured again. Hopefully he can stay fit this time, he'll be a big asset if he can. Fingers crossed.

I don’t know how to start a thread, so I’ll pose the question here. Hypothetical, I know.

If VK had been appointed Manger at the start of last season, with the players we then had, would we still be in the PL this season?

Who knows my mate? We are where we are now and I'm amazed at the total transformation and by all accounts we are now only £35 million in the red.

Great news BT. Pace has said he is not worried about the finances. I am guessing that, as well as raising capital to repay some of the debt, we have lowered the salary bill considerably. That will help to balance the books.
