And it was a dumb thing to try and do.

What do you think about the Bauer-Matthews partnership?

Because we could be cheering them on in blue shirts for a good few weeks now, what with the injury news that's filtering out.

Do they hack it as far as you're concerned?

Yeah, we'll come back to Derby County, which is our next opponent.

We're talking, Steve and I, on Friday.

You will probably be hearing this after the Derby game.

But I'm going to get your thoughts in advance, Steve, on the prospect of facing Derby, because it looks as though they've picked up quite a bargain from the United States.

A guy called Patrick Aguimang, who's nearer 6'5 and 6'4".

and he's got the bulk and the pace to go with it and he's now banging them in.

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.
