    There's another one, one of the first through the door, and I expressed reservations about him after the Huddersfield game, Sammy Bastien hasn't exactly set Turf Moor alight has he ? And this is not a dig at VK or anyone, I would think the success rate of his signings would match or surpass any manager in world football.

    Bastien to some extent is in the same boat as McNally and Twine, other players are totally undroppable, Cullen, Brownhill and Cork are probably the best midfield trio in the Championship.

    Odd flashes show why VK bought him and that Liverpool were reported to be interested in him at one stage.

    Interesting at the WBA presser, Vinni said he'd be happy for McNally to go out on loan, if it meant he'd be playing. He also said there were some players who hadn't featured much yet, but they'd be getting their chance. Didn't say who, but Scott Twine could be one he's referring to. I think.

    My mate Ollie the Owl says McNally will be turning up for the rest of the season at Hillsborough.

    I have no idea if it's true or not.

    I would think the fact that Vinni was openly discussing McNally going out on loan in a presser means it's going to happen. He also said it wasn't just Foster he was watching when he was spotted in Belgium recently.

    Yes. I would think that's right, we might be seeing a lot more of Scott in the next few months.

    When he was stood over that ball he was in direct line with my seat in the Jimmy Mac upper, I honestly KNEW he would score.

    He has the eyes of an assassin and the cool of Jimmy Mac himself.

    I loved the sheer joy he expressed following the strike.

    I hope he gets a game at Ipswich next week.

    When we got that free-kick on the edge of the box instead of a pen, I said to Mrs S, who was doing a sudoku on the sofa next to me, 'B@stard, it's too close, you can't get it over the wall and under the bar from there'. I could have added, 'unless you're a fecking genius', but Mrs S doesn't like me using the F word.
