Defo outside. As for the Hammond one. Was right inline with it in the itchen. Clear contact from the keeper on the man therefore a penalty in my book

The team are doing brilliantly but for me the 2002/3 and 2003/4 squads were better (the best I have seen in my lifetime) It's an impossible comparison though because it is all relative. This team is top of the Championship but the 2002/3 team finished 8th in the Premiership. So for me, we can't really compare because we don't know what the current team would do if they were playing in the Prem. Although I don't think they'd finish anywhere near 8th. Also, as much as I like Rickie anyone who thinks he is better than Beatts was then is sadly misguided. How can we possibly say that a player who has never played above Championship level is better than a player who scored 25 goals a season in the top tier of English football and was called into the England squad? Of course, given the opportunity Rickie might emulate Beattie but to say with confidence that he is better than Beattie at this point is madness.

Got it yesterday. It's definitely a step up from MW3 in my opinion. The addition of Survival mode is great fun if you've got a few mates round. The online stuff is much the same, but to be honest people love it so much that why would great changes need to be made? I'm enjoying this year's maps a lot more than the MW2 ones at the moment (maybe its because they're new). Haven't tried the campaign much yet, but I don't really buy it for that - I buy it for the online and the offline multiplayer.

He was also garbage when we played Preston at home in the cup. I thank him for what he did against MK Dons and for being part of what may prove to be a huge turning point in our recent history. But, the fact remains he is far from good enough to play at this level. Good for him that he's off out on loan, but if it became permanent I doubt we'd miss him too much tbh.

Just shows that laptop buying experience can be entirely different. In the last 2 years I've had 2 awful toshibas - both overheated and fried the motherboard within about 2 weeks of each other. The HP I had as a rental in the meantime ran like a dream. Weird.

Would definitely secure Jos, as has been said I rate him higher than Fonte so far this season. Would think carefully before signing a striker, if one was available at the right price then great but wouldn't want to be taken to the cleaners and sign Maynard, JRod or someone like that it might upset the balance in the camp.

Just back after the game and a few pints afterwards. Started pretty well - explosive stuff and 2 good goals, then they had a man sent off. We then took our foot of the gas and they got back into it before half time. De Ridder came on and we were a bit more lively - we should have had a third definitely. Their goal was a bit ridiculous, Fonte got caught cold by Sinclair's pace and we suddenly made in nervy. For long periods it was like a training game - it was attack vs defence for long periods. We really didn't test them as much as we should have but it seemed as if it was by choice rather than necessity. They really didn't threaten for long enough to make it 'nervy'. We made it nervy for ourselves by letting one in and being too lax. It wasn't as if they had huge numbers of chances. Even after we scored it was still comfortable possession football. We were clearly running down the clock, I mean Lambo got free in the area in the last 15 and took it to the corner! The disappointing thing was a few miscontrols, a few misplaced passes and then their goal which made it a little more interesting. But we clearly had the confidence to see it out keeping the ball and not really going forward. If we had really gone for it we would have battered them but as it was we didn't need to. I can't see us being in a position to play like we did in the second half many times this season, but against better opposition we won't have the luxury of doing it.

Would love to see us give them a spanking but would settle for a gritty 1-0 if thats what it has to be.
-
This. My feeling is that we are one quality striker away from blowing this league away.
-
Yeah that's what they were saying it in relation to...hope it comes off, would be a great addition.
-
On the Donny forums the majority of their fans say that the strong rumour at the game was him coming to us rather than Ipswich.
-
Not on round Justin's and Iraq goals has shut down I think
-
I'd go with: Bart Butterfield Jos Martin Harding Forte Morgan Ward-Prowse Holmes Reeves De Ridder
-
Talksport saying they want Adkins to replace him.
-
How is everyone getting on? I'm 5th going into December - 4 points off the top 2. I'm finding the full game way more frustrating than the demo. Have had so many injuries its ridiculous. Seems that 2 players go off with knocks every single game! Have had Fraser and Danny Fox out injured about 3 or 4 times already. It took a while for me to get Rickie firing but he's looking good now. My team: Davis Richardson----Fonte----Chambers----Fox ---------------Morgan------------------- ------Hammond----Cork---------- ---------Lallana----------- Lambert----Sordell
-
After last night, definitely. Proved he can deal with strikers who have played in the Prem (i.e Carew). I'd sign him on a permanent if he's available at the right price.
-
Agree, thought he looked more dangerous than Lambert yesterday night.
-
Would rather have seen cork in tonight and benched for reading if that is the reason. He's our best cm and this is our toughest game!
-
Cork on the bench?! Oh dear
-
Well if we don't it definitely won't be 3-0!
-
Or if Adam isn't fit, we could put SDR in and drop Chaplow back to the bench. Harsh I know, and I do really like Chaplow but Steve's pace might be more effective for this one.
-
I'm always confident going into a home game so think we will win. Pumped for this one though, top 2, sell out crowd, under the lights. Has all the makings of an absolute cracker. Roll on Tuesday night.

Even though he's a Skate I'd take Matt Taylor too.
