• Forgot to mention in above post that I’d stick with Barry he’s just getting started with the Blues, I think it is a bit early to give him the elbow—- there has been a definite improvement since his first few games when he was just getting a few minutes here and there and he’s played his part in the three wins out of the last four games working hard, on his own, upfront....

• Bloody hell Mike, I bet you wish you had never replied to my inquiry! Darren likes his bit of fun, he'd start an argument in an empty room. He livens the site up, he's missed when he's gone awol....

• Darren (68),Great post Darren, I’ve had more genuine information from ‘the man in the street’ than any professional journalist, gave some to Dave Prentice, Ken Rogers and Phil McNulty when he worked at the Echo, Phil even swapped one with me when I gave him one story, telling me “ Here’s one you won’t like but it’s true—Howard is coming back for his third go as manager”, he knew I liked Kendall first time round but his best days were long gone, I don’t think Phil was happy with Howard coming back either but kept his council on that! Darren, now that you’ve got your foot back in the door don’t let it close on you—— I’ll keep the kettle on low for a brew when you call in !...

• Barry is definitely improving, on the up. Granted that is from a hole 6 feet deep, but at least there is a positive direction of travel. I've said previously, he needs a goal, any goal, even off his arse and I think that will settle him down a lot. I believe the second will come much quicker. In any case, as other posters point out, we don't really have much choice. We have to prioritise, and the full back options are dragging us down and reducing the impact either of our wide forwards can make. It is almost embarrassing to watch Myko try and attack. I'm not sure our opponents even mark him very closely because they know he is minimal threat. I find it astonishing that our solution over the summer was to buy a left back we might even end up loaning out because he isn't ready to play. Right back, as we know, is an even bigger hole.Who on earth thought Patterson and Coleman were serious options in that position. Madness bordering on reckless decision making....
  Mark Taylor in Can Thierno Barry recover from his slow start at Everton?
• I backed Dominic all the way until last season when I thought he was giving less than he had previously done, if he can stay fit he could prove to be a good signing for Leeds who got him without a transfer fee. Dominic is now a problem or success for Leeds Unt. I wish him well just not against us....

• Have to agree with Darren. That Athletic article was not exactly revelatory. I've been banging on(as has almost everyone else) about the full back shortcomings for the whole season. I'm available for hire. ...
