Well, we're looking forward to your prediction for that one, as ever.

But I want to talk to you a little bit.

I want to get your thoughts about some of the other positions on the pitch, particularly fullbacks, which is a bit of a spit and sawdust job.

But on the other hand, Terry Devlin was named in the EFL championship team of the week.

which is, he's starting to get noticed, Terry Devlin.

Maybe we ought to handcuff him to the building or something.

I don't know if people are going to start getting interested in him.

But our fullbacks, considering they are a lash-up, are doing a pretty good job.

Yeah, I mean, fashions come and go in football, don't they?

I was only thinking the other day that 20 past four in the afternoon on a winter's day, you used to be able to look across the pitch to the fans at the other side of the ground or the other end of the ground, and you would see endless cigarettes being lit up, people's matches and lighters coming on and their fags being lit.

But of course, you don't see that anymore.

And I'm beginning to wonder whether fullbacks...

are going to go the same way, and in the not-too-distant future, there'll be no such thing.

Yeah.

Well, three at the back and versatility and all the rest of it.

Yep.

You mentioned Josh Murphy a moment ago.

I want to get your thoughts on him.

Is he back to his very best after that period out injured or is there another five or 10 percent still to come?

And do you agree with the rogue commentator who earlier this week posted that Josh Murphy is among the best crossers of the ball in the world of football?
