Yeah, I watched it. Unbelievable. They're so weak. They can play some nice stuff, they've got a decent coach, decent squad-- Oh, they've lost. Key game, as well. They're now in the play-off spot, two points behind Stuttgart in an automatic spot.

Berahino is, or was, a top talent, but his mental state and work ethic is worrying. If we're getting that, then it's not a good move. However, I did read somewhere that he was looking to almost rededicate himself to the game, so he may have matured. In top form he's certainly good enough for this league, and EU competition, IMO, but who knows what we'd actually get?

They had an off day, but I did note they were vulnerable to in-swinging crosses (Wolfsburg scored 2 such goals).

£1.75M sounds alright to me. Ferguson looks a decent player, with potential.

Yes, that's certainly true - and then when they did take a shot it was pitiful.

Hamburg host the leaders Bielefeld this lunchtime. This will go a long way to defining their season.

79% have voted for the GPL season to be declared Null and Void. There we have it. We'll start again next season, whenever that is.

I'm quite enjoying the M'Gladbach game. 1-1 early in the second half, with goals from two up-and-coming stars Havertz and Thuram. It's generally slow, but there's clear quality on show, with some nice passages of play. As I type, Leverkusen have just scored a penalty to retake the lead; Havertz again with his second, adding to his two last week - I don't recall him being so good against us?

Yeah-- I think I'll watch the 'Gladbach-Leverkusen game. They were both pretty impressive last week.

They'll find a way to make it the most convoluted league season imaginable.

He wasn't played out wide: we don't play with wingers. Just sayin'. (The idea of building the team around him in a more traditional central position in still valid, though.)

I was thinking Ojo's loan must be very close to finishing. I liked Ojo; he gave us something different, and while there is undoubted ability there, he just never showed it consistently.

Now that the season has ended, how should we conclude the Gersnet Prediction League? I reckon there are three options: Null and void End the GPL as it stands Points-per-game I'm not brave enough to decide unilaterally, so let's have a poll!

Does that mean McCrorie steps up to being back-up 'keeper?

Jason Holt, Jordan Rossiter and Jak Alnwick are also leaving. Decent amount of wages freed up, surely? Ross Wilson again making progress.

They each served us 'well', in their way. They're clearly not of the required quality going forward. I wish them well.

Hamburg went behind, but they've taken a 1-2 lead early in the second half. Their use of the 'keeper gives me the fear.

Hamburg's Bundesliga 2. game is on at 12:30 today.

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.
