[BaggieMan]

Went to the Burton Albion game this evening and have to say this Hegazi fellah was superb and earned a well deserved 'Man of the Match' award. One just hopes he continues these displays at Premiership level which, given his decision making, time on the ball and understanding with fellow defenders, should be easily achievable.

Rodriguez also looked sharp and took his goal well. Chadli exhibited his silky skills and once again looked the most naturally talented player on the pitch.

We are looking for another centre back, a replacement for Fletcher (Barry) and a left sided wide man be he an attacking left back (Gibbs) or left half midfield.

Ninety percent of the media links suggesting we are in for various players is total rubbish so although it keeps these forums busy, take the large majority with a large pinch of salt as all the media are doing is to fill their column inches and TV/Radio programs.

Those responsible for recruitment are hard at work but only looking at players who will fit into our mould and just as importantly, fit into the now happy dressing room without any possible conflict with current playing staff.

Keep the faith is the message!

The above in bold was from one of the senior directors and it seems it is proving true - a lot of hard work has been going on in the background of which we are not aware. In view of what is currently happening, maybe apologies and some humble pie.

There could be quite a lot of 'egg on the face' for the doubters and those who gave the directors and recruiting staff a lot of stick over the Window. That said, I'd like to see Uncle Tone start playing a much more attractive style of footy to stop me dropping off for a nap as I did against Sjoke!
