Je Suis Charlie
12.15pm Kick-off
This is going to be one of the hardest games this season. Potentially, there is scope for heartbreak and despair but also the perfect chance to send out the clearest signal yet of our ambitious intentions.
Our most esteemed poster, Heb, has been blown away in the 130mph winds. Heb I hope you are in contact soon and the auks are alright.
Derby's stellar signing Darren Bent should be on the bench and with new signings still expected, surely the perfect time for certain players to show that they are un-droppable. Will Eustace fulfil that minder role that seems to serve us so well in away games? I hope so.
Ipswich/Mick McCarthy - not always pretty but effective. They seem to have gone for the slow burn of recovery without doing anything spectacular and now find themselves handily placed. We struggle at Portman Road and I fear that of they assert themselves early on we will struggle.

Wassa - don't encourage it. I think Pearce is doing a great job - I believe that this type of karma is no more than Fawaz and the belligerent Florest fans deserve.
Only my Red Dog mate at work (and a couple of others) are exempt 'cos he is a decent bloke and is in despair.

I notice the Rev made a plea for them to remove SP before the weekend to spare him embarrassment and ignominy. Do you think there might be an announcement on Monday?

Rumours abound (and they are just rumours) that Pearce has been sacked

Afternoon all, great result. Thank you for your concern, what lovely people you are
Really wild couple of days, just had power restored. Widespread damage, lots of roofs missing but ok here.
The Auk burrows flooded so we gave them refuge in the hoose, will take weeks to clear up and pongs a bit!
