is there a possibility of Rowan Vine joining us?

which paid the wages.

Pearson doesn't rate him (saga) so can't see that.

has the best agent in football.

Chris Perry at right back, you have to be out of your mind. Can't think of a worst choice.

Murty doesn't wear them. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/resources/images/974794/?type=display

not sure McGoldrick was ever a pcey striker, but I agree with your sentiments on needin something completely different from Lambert - ie not a big number 9.

a couple of years back? Wow. Try five years ago and then you'd have shown some real foresight. Plenty of others saw something in him long before he was being booed by the idiots I might add (though not many at St Andrews when he played in midfiled). By the way just because you rated one player against the flow and he came good it doesn't mean every player opinion you have is accurate though I admit the jury is still out on Gillett.

can't argue with that really, although he has played pretty well in a few other games too, especially at the start of last season when we were intent on passing all day long no matter where it toook us (backwards usually) which very much suited him. I'd like to stress again that he's a young lad and apart from a few geneous' and players with great pace (which he is neither), youngsters tend to take their time to really shine.

your point is?

to be fare to him he has looked much better this season (you would assume having filled out a bit, settled in and got more used to the speed of the game) and seeing as he is a young lad he is only ever going to improve. We actually tend to look a much worse side when he subbed, simply because we don't then have the quality in the middle to get teh ball under control and play so we hood it a la Wotton - because they are not good enough on the ball.

not noticed him getting the crap knocked out of him to be honest. Besides IMO the higher up the league the more physically demanding the league is - faster, stronger oponents, with less time and space to get the ball down and avoid tackles. There are as many bad tackles in the top flight as in League 1. A popular mis conception that its one big blood fest down here. Less quality, yes, but no more physical battles really.

good. Lets not take any old cast offs. Why we took Stern John I will never know and choosing Forecast over cash seemed a crazy decision. I have to say I wasn't over enamoured by the Le Saux signing either (a massive backwards step from a pacey bridge to a slow, aging, injury prone replacement), but I appreciate others won't agree with that. These part exchange deals just stink of laziness to me. I know signing players is a difficult task but more often than not its settling for second best.

there is no gettign away fromthe fact that at times his first touch lets him down and because he plays in that area just in front of the back four, when it does it puts us in serious danger. Its not allt he time, just once or twice, but overall his touch is not quite up to standard. Having said that he makes up for it compared to Wotton in the speed he gets around the park. He was excellent sweeping in front of the back four last season and we missed him badly when he got injured.

Wonder if AP invited Gunn down with a view to him doing a bit of scouting for us whilst he was waiting for another job to come along? Mind you he has done almost every job possible at Norwich so maybe he will be asked to be director of football (be on the board btu with knowledge of football). Long shot I know. Just bandying the idea around. Regarding Jardi. Is he training with us?

thats a bloody good idea.

that is dissapointing to hear. I suppose the fact we are going to be here for two seasons afterthe poor start has a bearing.

and there's me thinking that our goal scorer was one A. Lallana. Far too many on here lacking patience with the lad.

good news that two clubs are chasing him as that probably means we won't end up paying a share of his wages which seemed possible when Watford suggested he was too expensive for them.

was he injury prone prior to coming to us or did the powers at Derby just see him as I do?

Agreed. No idea why we signed John when we had Rasiak. Will never forget that goal and the celebration afterwards. Unbelievable experience. I won't wish him luck as he wanted out by all acounts. Hopefully we can use his mammoth wages elsewhere to good effect.

thats funny because I head Crew were cutting in on the deal. Hope the new replacement is Bryl (cream). Lets hop we get to see some highlights first before he signs so we can brush up on our knowledge. Is it Michael Tong?

we've had two or three years of constant infighting on here, primarily about boardroom issues and non football related ****e and yet you choose now to get annoyed by fellow posters?

He had a terrific game, worked his nuts off, caused their back four all kinds of problems, won lots in the air, held the ball up well and as you say scored. When he went off injured the ball failed to stick and they took charge (admittedly playing three up caused us problems). That is of course all IMHO.

Patteson was MOTM against Millwall so you're "looked better than Pato every time he has played" is not quite right in my opinion. Having said that I'm more than happy for Saga to play tomorrow night. Thats what a squad is all about.
