He is a Premiership striker who has fallen down the pecking order because of injury and would do a similar job that Dougie Freedman did for us last season.

It's a welcome sight to see all our homegrown youngsters progressing into the first team now that Macca's arrived – no more short-term loanees with failed quick fixes please.

The last time this happened we shook the Premiership and Europe and so let's do it again..without the goldfish.

YES, Leeds United should offer Malcolm Christie a deal.

A MESSAGE to Alan in Beeston – I won't be getting a League One season ticket but you will if you back Scunthorpe because they're going nowhere pal.

As soon as the January transfer window opens, watch Gary Mac dip into whatever funds uncle Ken allows and gets in a battling midfielder and a decent centre-back, then it's bye-bye and time to go up.

Who was the anonymous muppet who thought Gary Mac wasn't up to it?

Give your head a shake and wake up you silly lad, he's God as far as I'm concerned.

WE had 70 minutes of excellent football for nothing on Tuesday in the Carling Cup because we can't do the basics and defend well.

Gary McAllister was quoted as saying: "(Derby) had four attacks and scored twice. I'm lost for words really."

Don't be lost for words Gary – just sort out the defence. Lubomir Michalik needs to be starved for two days before a match – where is his hunger and appetite for a battle?

IT was brilliant to see Fabian Delph receive recognition from Stuart Pearce and England Under-21s for his brilliant start to the season.

The youngster has been an inspiration and his skill on the ball and ability to read the play is superb to see. He also knows where the goal is!

The only down side is that he's beginning to get known and his appearance on Tuesday will again alert the bigger clubs as to his undoubted talent.

So one side of me wants him to steal the show, the other doesn't want him to get picked at all. But he's been brilliant and deserves the attention.
