Taylor has a great touch, deceptive pace and can only get better - he is a class player and was a handful for Millwall today. Alessandra is another who is only going to get better and better - he looked stronger than last season and his touch is also top. One for the Millwall team - I liked the look of the tall centre back Whitbread (even though he gave away that free kick...).

I sat in the main stand - both the Chaddy and RRE were loud at times but Millwall had more to sing about until the subsitutions changed the game. The atmosphere in the ground was good today and if we can get the balance of the team right, then home games will be great fun.

They played it and it was mint - will get the whole ground rocking I'm certain of that - tune

Whittaker brings missing balance

I live a mere 198 miles away - travelling up today with a pal for the game - full of expectation and a little trepidation too - you blues!

Crossley but Fleming will take over this season

Applause or silence - it's a magnificent gesture - well done

but if we win... then it would be worth it no?

I shall be trying that in the main stand saturday

Big Jim Fryatt - a legend

Love it -

My thoughts exactly -we now have the luxury of being able to bring the younger players along gradually. Got to be good for the long term future

John Sheridan is the gaffer - the team he picks is okay by me - if Liddell is doing the business then that is okay too. After yesterday I think there will be some surprises next week with the starting line-up.

Nope - don't think so. As I understand it, Hull have been given the large section of the RRE with the small section closed.

Sign him

And there's more... Preston - One to Watch - Neal Trotman Notts County - Most important player type thing - Richard Butcher Oldham - a great start in life for a professional footballer

Leeds Tranmere Leicester Huddersfield Stockport home and away

I would expect Eardley to be the man to go - shame really - and I hope that we do manage to hang on to him and have a decent go at this league

That means we will thrash Hull on Tuesday - 6 nil at least!

Hi Maki - the one to watch feature is in the FourFourTwo summary not yours - the magazine arrived in the post this morning. Cheers

A few memorable highlights from the FourFourTwo season preview: Scottish Premier League Aberdeen - One to watch - 'Gary McDonald signed on a free from Oldham - a doughty competitive midfielder - he has been brought in to add skill and steel to the heart of the Dons' Motherwell - Most Important player - 'Chris Porter - score goals but also links well and brings others into the game' St Mirren - Most Important Player - 'Will Haining, our commanding centre half. When he didn't play last season we were usually trounced' Championship Doncaster Rovers - One to Watch - 'Richie Wellens' - Most important player - 'Richie Wellens' - Terrace favourite - 'Richie Wellens' ... QPR - Most Important Player - 'Fitz Hall' And as for us 22-1 to win the league, which puts us into the top ten. One to watch - 'Danny Whittaker' and the fans view from Maki: Most Important player - 'We're a team' Terrace Favourite - 'Mark Allott' and finally 'where will you finish? - Between third and eighth depending on new players' - sounds about right to me

I am convinced that Deano will not go out on loan - his season last season was a revelation and he will be an asset to us even if he is on the bench. In fact, I think the bench this season will be a strong one and an important part of the team. We have a squad of some twenty four (I think) who are candidates for the first team. The thirteen most likely Bench warmers: (a large bench needed!) Fleming Stam Thompson Lomax Black Stephens Kalala Lee Hughes Liddell Smalley Alessandra Wolfenden The most likely starting eleven: Crossley Eardley Gregan Hazell Taylor Whittaker Phillips (please) Maher Allott O'Grady Davies Only weakness is the absence of a genuine left back..

Mark - great tribute - much appreciated

Terry - moving tribute - cheers
