I have a friend who's a devoted Baggie. He lost his wife of 20+ years to cancer this week. She hadn't reached mer mid-fifties and leaves behind two teenage children. I am reminding myself of this simple fact to avoid bedwetting and retain an important sense of perspective. While most of the time it feels like so much more, it really is just a game.

b) Having a rough spell but likely to improve

Stephens appeared to adapt to the league well and was courted by PL heavyweights Burnley last year. New boy Propper is possibly the most elegant CM i've seen in the stripes. They are:

b) Having a rough spell but likely to improve

Our wingers have guile and pace. On their day they look fantastic. Lately they have been utterly impotent, with poor decision making and the sense the management don't know who's best and in what position. Our wingers are:

a) Not as good as everyone thought.

Our two strikers have already scored more than many expected but appear slow, tired and profligate in front of goal. Our strikers are:

e) Probably better than people thought but still not good enough for a whole season.
