since reverting to a hoof it down the channels style we have been embaressing. Much preferred watching us lose playing an all out passing game than the current load of ****. All we needed to do IMO was mix it up a little bit with a long ball now and then. Unfortunately we have gone from one extreme to another. HAving said all that I am not sure the style matters as too many of the players simply are not good enough.

He certainly has been improving in recent times, but you can't get away from the fact that he is still pretty damn slow and absolutely terrible in the air, both of which makes him a liability defensively.

I'd of kept Wright. His positional play improved massivey at right back as the season progressed. He had no pace but he made up for it by being in the right place. James does not. Also Wright's passing was very good IMO. He hardly ever pounted it down the line. James' passing is not too bad either mind you. Wright also didn't do too badly as a central midfielder. OK so he was no world beater but at least he could control a football and pass ten yards, something Wotton struggles with. Ostlund and Licka? No thanks.

he gave up getting back long before the goal was scored, the ref on the other hand can't give it up - he has to continue to try to stay up with play. Never really understood why the keeper goes up, why not just send an extra outfield player, its not as though Davis is a giant. It matters not.

it kicked off massive style at the last BC game at SMS. It doesn't take much `intelligence' to think that this might happen again - hence the police numbers. What I don't understand is the way they treated `suspected' troublemakers inside the ground.

BC were not more comitted.

after the trouble in the crresponding fixture at SMS it was not surprising. Still don't understand why they were so over the top inside the ground.

whats the score on being filmed. I hate that. It feels like they are treating me like a criminal and appears to be a breach of my civil liberties. I have nothing against the old bill but not all fans are hooligans.

seriously second best first half but for me compared to recent displays this one appeared full of passion and effort. If we got Patterson in up front and passed it rathyer than hoofed it we might have a chance. We so badly need another centre back to replace Perry though.

What the **** was the policing in the ground all about? They appeared to be penning in a group of lads to prevent them leaving the ground at the end of the game (kind of section 27). I know there was trouble at our place but this seemed well over the top.

say it how you see it mate, we all see different things in games. Of the two keepers I bet Basso made more saves. Second half saw chanes for Lallana (good low save), Surman (straight down the keepers throat), Euell (how did he miss). We hit the post and had one off the line in the first half. The keeper had to come a punch a couple of times as well. I can't recall Dais making a save other than the pen and the brave save to feet of Maynard.

really, I thought some players (Seijs, Euell, Wotton) gave it all. Others perhaps didn't, but I came away from the game feeling we were unlucky not to grab a point. I certainly haven't felt that way for a while.

If you play him out wide he has to track back etc, up front he gets to run the channels and he did it well IMO.

You will see that my marks mirror yours except for Perry and Euell. When Maynard was beating the offiside and running us ragged who was marking him? As for Euell could he have done much more. I'm not a fan of him in the middle but he gave everything today - I thought that was all fans demanded of their players? Davis saves a pen (that hits him) and gets an 8, Euell sweats blood and gets a 5???? I'm not trying to discredit Davis I just think an all round display deserves a higher mark than someone that does one great thing all game.

Wotte is right, we should have got something from this game. We totally dominated in the second half and how we didn't take at least one chance I will never know.

A game of two halves for me. First half we were second best (Delabola took the ****) and we were rightly behind even if the pen was soft and the goal may have been offside. Second half we bossed it completely and were encamped in their half. Sadly we didn't do quite enough to grab that all important goal but a draw would have been a fair result IMO. Wotte has got his tactics all wrong for me. He picked a very good eleven with Euell and Wotton tigerish in the middle, but with skillful players like Surman and Schneiderlin out wide and McGoldrick down the middle we need the ball on the deck. Instead all we did first half was boot it hopefully down the channels. Time after time we did this and gave posession straight back to City. OK now and then this is a good tactic but not every single time. Once we started passing short we looked good and opened city up. First half was wasted. Davis - 8 Pen was straight at him as was the 1 on 1 with Delabola. I thought he made a poor decision not to come for their goal but defence was to blame not him. Not all that busy. James -7 decent game although far too easily beaten by Adelbola in first half, lovely first touch and got forward well. Crossing was poor though. Seijs 8 Tremendous game. 100% comitted, one everything and some decent passing as well. Perry 5 Too slow to get close to Maynard. Passed it IMO. Skacel 6 Solid display. I'm always harsh on him so I will leave it at that. Schneiderlin 6 - some nice work in posession and he looked comitted (got booked for his 6th tackle of the season). Putting him out wide meant we got rid of our soft centre. Didn't create anyting going forward though. Euell 8 Tiger in midfield and some decent touches on the ball as well. 100% Comitted throughout and gave everything. Unlucky to hit the post. Wotton 6 Equally comitted diving into some ugly looking 50:50. Some decent distubution, the best I have seen of him, but still gave it away a lot. Not sure he should have been subbed - we lost our way for 5 minutes after. Surman (first half 1 second 6) Not helped by Wottes tactic of booting it down the channels rather than getting it to his feet, but when he did get it he gave it away. Woke up in the second half and as we got it down and played he got into the game. McGoldrick 3 - Not helped by the down the channel serice at all - get it to his ****ing feet - but other than one excellent run in the first half where we should have scored he was ineffective. Saga 3 gave the ball away a lot. Won nothing in the air, jogged across the line a lot. McClaggon 7 much much sharper than last time. Got th eball under control and got us moving forward. Much more of a threat than Saga. Lallana 7 got us passing and what do you know we become a threat. Failed to hug the byeline but on this occasion he can be forgiven as he had a positive impact. We started to open them up once he came on. Gillett - looked sharp passed it well enough.

only small percentage sung that song. Saga was **** IMO. If he doesn't score he what does he do? I'll tell you, he gets the ball to feet and then nine times out of ten he loses it. When he pops a goal in you forgive and forget is failing in his game, but when he doesn't score you tend to look at his all round game and it sucks.

knowing our luck he won't be injured.

if we go into administration now then not a single fan is going to pay for an individual match day ticket as we will be relegated. With a minimum of 3000 turning up for most games that adds up to £420,000 in lost revenue on tickets alone (based on £20 a ticket).

Vaz Te is out till June.

with raft of games coming up for both Manure and Chelsea you can bet you bottom dollar that it won't be either of those. Wellbeck is bloody starting in FA Cup games, and Dos Santos came on in the Stoke game a couple of weeks ago. Ben Sahar didn't get a game whilst on loan at the Skates. They clearly want him to get experience.

web invented 89 and Branfort sacked in 94. Didn't you get the `hope he dies soon' email?

so brover, apart from a new 32k seater stadium, a state of the art training ground, a thriving youth academy that has produced enough talent to keep the club afloat through these hard times, and stadium catering that is the envy of the modern world, what has Rupert Lowe ever done for us!

so his company is going to the wall but his personal fortune is growing nicely thank you very much. Who polices this sort of thing?

Agent Pearson. Instant smile.
