Just checked in on that u23 match, fog was so thick at Kidderminster couldn't see a thing. Ref blew up bang on 90 minutes at 1-1. Never seen anything like it. Camera was all over the place trying to pick up anything, players, ball but could just see grey soup.

Aggborough is on the top of a hill, if it's foggy it's always worse up there.

Great goal by Jordao. Didn’t see the rest of the game but sounds like nobody else did either..

For a little entertainment, see the goalkeeping howler by the Ivory Coast keeper that gifted Sierra Leone a 93rd minute equaliser yesterday at ACON

State of that pitch though! The poor keeper's knee must be a right mess now.

Looks like Christian Marques is back from his loan spell with Beleneses. Always looked good in the u23 matches I've seen him play in. Hasn't featured at all this season in Portugal. With no game time, it's best he's back with us.

Well regarded so hopefully gets a better loan for the second half of the season.

How old is he? Could we bring him into the first team squad without the nightmare of having to unregister another foreign squad member?

According to a report in Spanish paper Diario Sport, Barcelona have earmarked Traore as a replacement for 105m euro flop Dembele. If Barca have already made an approach to Wolves it would explain why we have just brought in another winger.
I think we should keep Adama until the summer to give Chiquinho a chance to get up to speed.

The Adama saga needs sorting one way or the other, he either returns to the negotiating table and agrees some kind of extension or we cash in, as every window that passes his value will drop and we'll get less than the £16m we spent on him and well Jeff won't like a red number on his spreadsheet

Much more likely that Xavi has identified Adama as the long term replacement for Messi?

yet they managed to get an U23's side together to play us, they should either play and use the kids or forfeit the game.

you know we all hate leeds but they had a 15 year old on the bench vs West Ham

Burnley are games behind then sell Chris Wood to Newcastle, so they are now further short of players, it's yet another farce in the game.

Especially as it is just a few days after they also sold a player for £25m.

Just around the corner Dyche will doubtless be moaning about fixture congestion

was he not the one as well that told Klopp to "just get on with it"

A Norwich supporting friend of mine reckons Dyche will try to secure survival for Burnley by asking the Premier League to apply the Duckworth Lewis formula to their unplayed games

gotta better chance than actually playing

I legit think at 31 points we're safe already. Imagine those opening 3 games with a bit of luck we could be at the magic 40 point mark before the end of Jan

Following his excellent debut at the weekend, Wolves have received a number of enquiries from clubs around Europe as to whether Toti Gomes is available for transfer

Fulham, who've hit 13 goals in their last 2 games, are 1 up after 14 minutes against Blues.
Could be a rough night for the bashers.

As Morocco had already qualified, Saiss was rested and only came on with minutes left. Ended 2-2.

Just read a report we may still bring in renato sanches
