    Bit of a disappointment at first glance anyway, but they're all experienced, known quantities so at this point it's not going to make a tremendous amount of difference to their abilities over the next four months and it's probably better for them to be playing in the Championship than bench-warming (or worse) in the Premier League - one question, though: If Rob Elliot becomes Number 1 at Newcastle and puts in some good performances, should he take over from Randolph, or does Darren remain our first-choice based on his performances to date and for the sake of continuity? All that said, we do need to have some of the emerging talent move up towards the top over the next twelve months.

    Murphy(N Forest), Williams, O'Brien(Millwall), McGeady(Sunderland) and Keogh(Derby) all start as the Championship starts again.
    O'Shea, Gibson(Sunderland) and Pearce(Derby) on the bench.

    McGeady had a decent game and his set pieces were varied and generally very good. Keogh was solid for Derby.

    Grayson didn't make any substitutions which was very odd, especially as Derby piled on a bit of pressure late on as Sunderland tired. Don't think I've seen that since Noel King desperately tried to cling on to a 2-0 defeat in Cologne.

    Sean Maguire started but was subbed before Preston scored (though supposedly was well received by fans if sportsjoe are to be believed), Horgan didn't play at all, Boyle didn't make the bench. Forrester was left on the bench for Peterborough and didn't play either... Disappointing for the past few years of LOI departures to England today

    He has gone from captain to not starting today in a short time now, there is a loss of form and maybe he should have moved or wanted to move and didn't in the last window. Doughty came in from QPR in the summer, plays in the middle and is a big signing Peterborough raised a few eyebrows with, so CF will have to step up again, but he has it in him.

    Yeah I hadn't realised before today that he had lost the captaincy.. Loved watching him at pats so I hate seeing him left out, same for all the recent LOI players overseas.. Want to see them tearing it up over there

    This James Collins is a right gas man. He had three prior promotions from League 2. Went back there this season. Scored a lovely hat trick on his debut for Luton. Looks to have a lot about him. You would wonder if being an accomplice to Carruthers at the races is the type of behaviour holding him back from moving up the divisions.

    Was he the lad with the DUI shortly before Villa moved him on ? Could be wrong.

    Looks like Barry Bannan was the driver but being present at something like that says enough.

    He has a lot of goals to his name. You'd have to wonder what level he could be at if the head was screwed on.

    That'll do it for me! If Finn o Mara can't be Irish then what what sort of a multi cultural state have we become! I have no idea than I noticed his name last week and I thought I saw something that said he was Irish born

    Shouldn't that be what sort of multicultural state Britain has become, where Irish immigrants are allowed to move there and have great-grandchildren called Finn O'Mara who don't qualify for Ireland? Anyway, on Gillingham's Wikipedia page, he's listed with an English flag beside his name, however on his page on Gillingham's website there's an Tricolour. Although this page also lists his Date of Birth as January 1st, 1901, so I don't know how reliable that is.

    Ah now he put that first strike way too close to the keeper! Unfortunately he seems 6 inches too small to play for Jose
