Yep. Costa wasn't as hard as some of the big lads Damo played against in the lower leagues and Damo bullied him. Was a great watch, as Costa was making a real effort to compete with him.

However, Damo and his left hoof can surely only now be good (and quick) enough for emergency cover or "we hold what we have" defending from our 18 yard line in the last 15 minutes.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Absolutely, just short of 190 apps in 5 seasons, cost us nothing from Ipswich and has been a rock solid part of the team helping us gain promotion and keep us in this division.

He may be slowing down but he's a far better option than wasting a few million on a player that will sit on the bench as cover.

How much ££££ have we wasted on Fryers/Mutch and co in this time.

Be a bit strange to say that when we have a game this weekend that Damo is likely to feature in. He is training this week.

He may have agreed a vastly reduced wage/bonus to stay on. Makes sense if you don't want moving costs or to have to uproot your family. If we're paying him a lot less than his last contract he's worth keeping. He knows he will never again be first choice. Its good to have professionals that will keep themselves game ready while warming the bench without complaining

In the Burnley game Damo was the only player with a shot on target.

So sell Benteke and play him up-front see if he accepts hoofs from the rear.

He was exposed by a non-existent midfield. That game is a bad one on which to judge anyone's performance. Also, very few (if any) CBs are going to win a foot race against a whippet like Gray who'd come on with fresh legs after 80 minutes.

We don't do possession; we do defense and attack. Everything else is just wa**ing with a football.
