Speaking from first hand experience, legally changing your name for entertainment purposes is worth it.

We signed Jesus Navas.........................








Brother Marco Navas on a one-year deal. Also signed Temitope Obadeyi from Portuguese side Rio Ave

Notts County at home tomorrow, I'm quietly confident Dean 'Ginger Mourinho' Smith can make it four wins out of four for us. I'm going for a tight 1-0 win.

Blackburn lost to Doncaster lol.

Accrington Stanley at home for us tomorrow. After disappointing results against Chesterfield and at Oxford, we are currently 22nd with zero points. I don't like the term 'must win game' but Accy Stan should be one of those sides we should really be beating, to please the crowds.

Nathan Cameron is suspended, so I guess we're dragging back Andy Procter to CB position and play Tom Soares in the middle and Mayor/Chippendale out wide. Only guessing tho. We're short on defenders

1 shot on target in the whole game... I remember Blackburn managed 0 shots on target at Spurs in their Premier League relegation season but that's arguably worse.

BR has probably hung himself

Went to Doncaster tonight we were crap absolute shit have too improve.

On the brink.

I gave the team the benefit of the doubt after the Forest game, 0-0 would probably have been fair, but this......this is just completely unacceptable. Very worrying.

Tom Hitchcock scoring the winner for QPR - mental that, was in my year at high school.

The situation at Millwall is worth keeping an eye on too - ex West Ham Lomas in charge, haven't got a point yet and haven't scored I don't think.

Good win for us today. Beat Accrington 3-0. Three debuts today, as Anton Forrester, Jordan Sinnott and Marlon Jackson all scored their first (of hopefully many) Bury goals. Accrington made it easy for us as one their players just literally halved Beeley with an outrageous tackle.

Should have raised confidence for Burton away

Feel sorry for the bloke. Four games in and under pressure to save his job. Don't think Jackett should have left there, myself, but given time Lomas should do OK with a committed, experienced Championship side (that we just beat 1-0 to complete a trio of tricky opening fixtures - pleased with 4 points, because I expected nothing against Forest or QPR and anything at Millwall's always a bonus).

Shocking Bournemouth beat relegated from premier Wigan 1-0!

Wigan 2-2 Doncaster tonight.

Haha Wigan came back in the end? It was 0-2 when I've last watched live scores.

Yeah last minute equaliser. Not the greatest start to the season though, comfortable win at Barnsley opening day but just 1 point from Bournemouth and Doncaster since.

Tommy Miller from Swindon and William Edjenguele signed for us recently, raising our new signing tally to 20. BEAT THAT YA PART-TIMERS!

Sinnott and Miller in midfield? Interesting.

Sinnott was good against Accy Stan. MOTM performance for me although he had one or two shaky moments where he gave the ball away a bit too easily. Miller, I don't know. Looked shit against us last season but he was decent 5 years ago. 34 years old too, so I don't really know what to make of this signing

I never really rated him at Town, but he had his moments. A 30-yard screamer against Scunthorpe stands out, probably our goal of the season that year. Played his part in the play-offs alongside DJ. Had times where he looked like a midfield conduit who could recycle possession like nothing else. Had problems with tackling and being able to move faster than a geriatric snail. Played 40 times for Swindon in another play-off team, so still has something.

Sinnott, on the other hand, I rate highly. The loan will do him the power of good. He's a competitor (with a habit of bending the rules), tremendous drive, and more than capable of getting up and down. Brilliant debut against Leicester last season, when we drew 1-1 in the Cup. Gave a proper defensive shield and showed discipline. Ran out of steam in the replay, but he's 18 and was playing against a very good team.

we have to beat Barnsley at home today ! Unfortunately I cant go as am on holiday but we really a win.

Millwall forgot bring their away kits, they used Sheff Wed away kits playing against Sheff Wed LOL

COME ON THE CHERRIES!!!

lol Blackburn 4-1 and it's only half time.

bournemouth just lose 3-0 by hudderfield half time

Huddersfield destroy Bournemouth 5-1 at away AGAIN!!

Away are terrible and Home are better.

Yes great win for Rovers thank god for the sending off though !

Hope you defend better at home. First two, great play from Town. The third saw a gap between full-back and centre-back that you could have driven at least four buses through. The penalty (which somehow Bournemouth though wasn't, despite the late, clumsy challenge on Carroll three yards inside the box*) was nearly missed, but wasn't. And the fifth was a quality goal from range.

* - possibly not accurate, but it looked well inside.

Aye nice to have a relaxing afternoon at Ewood with a comfortable victory! Yep the red card just after they took the lead helped us big time - but at least we won. Good couple of goals from Rhodes. Was the best I've seen Josh King play too, he goes from being awful one week to MOTM the next, just needs more consistency.

Lead Burton 2-0 for 83 minutes and drew 2-2. Fucking fucking shit
