We have the best defence in the league at the moment!

Good news - Joe Kinnear is fit and well.
Bad news - he still wants to be manager at Newcastle.

Was it arson?

Took his two goals pretty well today, shame he missed a sitter to complete a hat-trick though.

Yep. Huddersfield away next up, then Leyton Orient away followed by Leeds at home with Dundee away completing our pre-season.

They won 7-2 last week so I would not read too much into it.

If they lose 6-1 to WBA in their first game take it seriously but until then I think you can still expect them to be a force this season.

I honestly think you will do ok and sometimes turmoil works to a teams advantage. Much better to do it in a meaningless game than one with points at stake.
