Not much to argue with there.

Norwich Boruced. Someone said on build up thread that they had not been given a pen this season, now they have and now we know it wouldn't have made any difference. Difficult to say whether it was a pen, looked like it from what I saw, BUT Shaw was fouled before it and so it should have been free kick to us, and I can't tell whether Lardass dived or not. If we had won last week a point at Narwich would have been a good point. I guess it still is, but feel deflated that we did not get 3.

Not sure they would have got much away at Man City, apart from a dent in their GD.

Really don't understand why Yoshi is playing at RB, we all know he is awful at RB or LB. Top CB, does MP not know how bad he was earlier in the season though

Be better to take Jos off and let Yoshi play in his proper position. Surely Clyne can play a half can't he, if not why is he on the bench.

Putting more teams below us is what is important, not the position itself. Statistically QPR are unlikely to get out of bottom 3, especially if they only draw today.

Pinocchio seems to think we are well on top

Is that good? Draw might be better for us, we could go level with Sunderland today.

Cheers, leaves us a bit weak on the bench away from home.

Davis not on the bench even, is he injured? Thought it was odd last week that he didn't come on, perhaps he was not 100%. Worried at the thought of Yoshi playing RB, top player in the centre, absolute gash as right or left back based on past performances.

Perhaps he is already wearing them, I never used to carry my boots to footy either, saved time putting them on when I got there, played havoc with my bike pedals though.

It will distract them from the league.

So what is that if it is not Plan B? Problem actually was that Plan B was a stupid plan with Samba playing and we did not have a Plan C.

I would take 38. I wouldn't want to rely on GD to be above QPR if they got 17 points from their last 10 games.

This isn't a pro, its a con. Was completely unable to attract sufficient investment and was not prepared to invest what we had to take us to the next level, when we could have done so relatively easily. Find it very difficult to think of any pros with Lowe. He is the reason we ended up where we were 3 years ago. I guess the only pro is that he was such a blithering idiot that in the end we got bought by someone sensible, because it would never have happened while were a plc.

Nice story. It really backs up what I thought about England during the Beckham/Neville/SGE era, unless you were in their clique you never stood a chance. Wayne Bridge was treated badly in his early England days, you could see players avoiding passing to him on the pitch even when it was the most obvious thing to do. Its still why I really get ****ed off when people fawn over Beckham so much, saying how great he was for the England team, when the reality is that together with some of his cronies he was part of the reason why an era when England had a reasonable amount of talent, they did not perform to their expectations. Well done JB though for continuing to want to play football at whatever level, nice to see a true sportsman doing it for the right reasons and not worrying about whether he has to pay tax or not like some egos do.

As usual. One of the people who are clearly killing this forum, along with the other 2 or 3 trolls.

In the end its a team thing, rather than individuals, but Yosh has been very good, to.drop.him for Forren would be a massive risk, Forren looks average at best. What we need is to make sure Fox is nowhere near the team then the rest of the defence can do their own job without having to do his as well.

I can only assume you did not watch the "new lad" last night. Would rather give Stephens a go to be honest. There is a very good reason Vegard is not in the team. Yoshida has been our best defender for much of this season, dropping him would be stupid. 2nd goal Saturday was primarily down to Shaw.

You missed the good part, we were quite good in the 1st half, but we definitely tired in last 15 minutes and were fortunate to hang on at the end. Probably something to do with playing at SMS, the kids don't play there often enough imho.

Sorry, but good as he is he gets pushed off the ball far too easily. Needs to develop, physically before he is anywhere near ready for first team. I didn't see anyone last night that was pushing for a first team place (including JWP who was quite anonymous, Gazza or Forren). I kept thinking we have something like 14 players out on loan, the u21s look very lightweight without them (Liverpool have the same issue according to their commentator). Forren does not look like he is better than what we already have, and I don't see any need to change from Fonte and Yoshi, as long as Fox is not playing there is not much wrong with these as our central pairing, and I would prefer Jos to Forren at the moment at least.

Thank you precious, thought it had a nice ring about it. Then again maybe I was just fat fingering on my phone.

You mean Mark Wright, our former skipper. Has been very complimentsry so far.

Why?
