How is Crofts doing? He was always solid playing for Norwich, just couldn't hold down a first team spot in the Prem. Always liked him, and the fans only had good things to say when he left.

[Dracoro]

Quite solid and physical (what we need in the middle) but has to be marked down for giving away the penalty.

[andyjo1982]

Norwich have bid for Mackail-Smith apparently. I'd be intrested to hear your views on him. Seems to be getting slated on a few NCFC forums.

[Legend83]

Looks like you guys have taken Andrea Orlandi off our books.

Good luck to him. If he stays fit, you have a very technically proficient, creative and probing midfielder. A little lightweight but lots of potential.

[Blatter]

Orlandi looks like a good prospect.

All seems to have gone quiet on the CMS / Norwich issue.

Still seems to be talk of Gus trying for one more striker. Better get his finger out as there's only four & half hours left !

[Blatter]

Good result with the transfers and a good result today against Burnley.

Another two goals for CMS(& two for Greer - one at each end.......)

[Dracoro]

Soaring to the top of the league!

Hope it lasts.

Did well today.

Twice came from behind against the Arse...

Good win at Cardiff last night and great to take points off the league leaders. Cardiff were unlucky not to score, but those are the breaks, I guess. Despite scoring, Ulloa didn't have a particularly good game.

Also interesting to see that Dobbie scored for Palace last night......... Good luck to him, as it didn't seem to be working for him with us.

The amount of games we have been the better side but not come out as victors kinda justifies it happening the other way round, we could do with the breaks.

Were you there last night? Charlie Oatway seems to think Ulloa had a great game:

BHAFC Twitter said:

Oatway post Card: Ulloa was brilliant and he put in so much work for the team against a good team. The goal will help him a lot too.

[Blatter]

I was there and I felt that he spent most of the second half looking for free kicks and going to ground. He did cover a fair bit of ground though, as Charlie Oatway mentioned. Bridge had a good game, as did Bruno. Oh, and Kuszczak did really well to keep a clean sheet for us.

Let's hope that we can capitalise on this and overtake Middlesborough to get into the play-offs............

[GTO-3R]

It would be nice to see you guys have a shot at promotion, you are a well organised club.

[Justin Cyder]

So what's the feeling? As a Worthing dwelling Spuds fan, I don't give BHAFC the attention I should really. 7th & on the edge of the play offs. Is this Gus' year?

[Blatter]

Could be, but we've really got to play well, just to get into and maintain a position in the play-offs. Realistically, we'd end up 6th in the division as Middle-Burg seem to be the only catch-able team. Watford, Palace & Leicester are all having good runs at the moment, so it's difficult to say.

It will be good to see Cardiff's efforts finally coming to something though, after four or five years of being the "nearly team". They've just got to decide whether they will play in blue or red......... (In order to try and win the local fans over to the new regime at Cardiff, the management were handing out free red scarfs at last night's game. Have to say that quite a few were being thrown on to the pitch at the end of the game )

[Justin Cyder]

Good analysis. Maybe last night is the start of shaking off the draw specialists tag. I'd love to see them do it. It's not long ago you boys were down the Withdean & I play squash there & think it's a dump.

What a transformation in a few short years.
