Come on chaps. It's always when I get one spot on that they lag behind...I want to make a late bid for the play-offs. Ho hum

This will be a huge point.

Get in!

Fewer, not less. Keep taking the professorships...

Thought this was going to be about Rupert Lowe. 'The revenge of the ruddy faced arrse 2' or perhaps 'Roops versus the North London yobbos 3'

music? sure you've heard of it...

Knowing our luck (Mr Souness!) we'll sign Cat Stevens

I reckon he'll go to spurs when 'Arry the div gets the England job.

Their new stadium is bloody good though

Goal difference. It is crucially important, in my view and will be almost worth a point in the final reckoning. And with ours at 34 currently, 10 more than Peterborough and 12 more than Huddersfield, it means that if we lose in the meantime we must only lose by the odd goal, if possible. Another good idea would be to win all our remaining games 4-0, of course... Can quite envisage us nicking second (which is essential, in my book) on the strength of goal difference with points level with Peterborough (in my opinion). Brighton are basically champions - hats off to a good manager and decent set up. Personally, I'm dreading the play-offs, as I don't think we are the sort of team to get through them (as shown last time). Still can't help thinking we could have done with an old head brought in to stiffen the central midfield, though....

What a strange logic. By the same reasoning you might have said that, before we were placed in administration, the fact that we hadn't ever been placed in administration before but could have been was conclusive enough evidence that we wouldn't be. Until we were.

he plays in the hole...

Apparently we're signing Na va Hudovim from some European third tier club.

And Chester is miles away... ;-)

I'm glad we're getting a CM as it didn't appear we had one on the field against Wednesday. Wouldn't be unhappy with being Savage's last throw...

That's two outcomes.

Was really hoping that this was a replacement for Davis. Hope he plays.

Good passer, Doble. (dance joke)

If he is a goalkeeper he could replace Davis, who is not.

Very, very well put, sir. I've been saying much the same (but not as well) for two years now. Usually get shot down by those who like 'highlights' keepers.

first one to smash a window with a ball gets a prize... not bad, that.

'Simple cross' - the one that looped over Bart from the right hand side of the pitch and came down off the bar? Riiiiight. Kelvin would have gobbled that one up, what with his extra stature and incredible spring. Yes, of course he would. And you talk of goalie blinds? I would like a goalkeeper that does the simple things right, and quietly, not one who occasionally pulls off 'worldies' and matches them with bloopers. Davis ain't that man.

No.

It's not just the mistakes he makes that cost us goals directly (of which there are legion), but the nervousness he causes in the defence, the poor distribution, and overall disconnectness he imparts on that yawning gap between our back line and where he fears to tread. Any opposing manager worth his salt would (and I would argue they do) just look at a few previous games, witness that no man's land, and pump balls into it. Over 90 minutes, you will score. For me Davis is the reason we will not get promoted this year, because if we go to the play-offs I would not trust him to do all of the above. Bart is better, but a new, experienced (even old) keeper might be better still.
