A lot can change in 48 hours

And just like that, the transfer window slams shut...

Simon Johnson and Sam Parkin are in the hot seat alongside Matt Davies-Adams to rejoice as the summer transfer window FINALLY ends. We round up the last minute deals - including the arrival of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang - which had looked unlikely just a couple of days earlier. There's outgoings too - with bright prospect Billy Gilmour off to Brighton - plus plenty of loan moves to round off a recording breaking window for the Blues.

We can't avoid discussing Tuesday night's 2-1 defeat at Southampton - with a classic Simon voice note from St Mary's, Thomas Tuchel questioning his side's metal and yet more misfiring up top. It's then straight onto the visit of West Ham on Saturday afternoon - as we question who'll be given their chance to make a mark in this match - and just how important the return of Reece James from illness will be.

Plus - after last week's quizzing fiasco for Mr Parkin - how will he fare against formidable opposition this time round?
