Whitey Grandad

I agree, the quality is poor but most of them seem to be scoring more goals than we are.

Can we please have a constructive discussion without using terms like these? We all have different views, that's why it's called a forum...

That has a pleasing ring to it.

That depends on how many millions were spent in order to get those millions...

I think they can be CCC standard, but they are a bit short of it at the moment. They need experience and guidance from more established players, but as soon as they are good enough they will be sold on to another club, so what's the point of it all?

Could it be that they don't want to pay the £5 and so can't vote?

What price can you get on both clubs being relegated this season?

For the first time this season I was really impressed by him! At least his mistake didn't cost us any points and I don't think he'll do it again, but he's not the only one who's letting the ball bounce, Pearce also tends to do it, so perhaps our coaching is just as bad as Reading's.

James is a very good prospect, but he's a long way from being a full-back. It looks to me like he's never played there before, and it shows.

Of course, but they weren't playing very well before, were they? There have been countless other examples in all divisions. My point is that these basic mistakes and positional errors should have been coached out of them years ago. Most of them have been taught by professionals since schoolboy days.

I have always understood that 'Arry did it to prove a point to Lowe. (did you mean Mansfield?). I agree that you should only introduce inexperienced players into a settled, established team. It used to be done in the end-of-season games, when we were safe (oh, happy days!)

One game would be enough to get the basics right. Look at what Rednapp achieved at Tottenham.

These are all basic errors that should have been coached out of them before letting them play. I don't see players from other teams making them. And another thing... why is it that our players keep slipping over at St. Mary's? It happens once or twice every home game and could have cost us a goal against Sheff Weds. It's rare for an opposition player to do it.

This exhibition football is the fundamental problem. The build-up is ponderously slow and there's nobody to support the lone striker. Incidentally, we're not the only ones playing 'tippy-tappy' apparently... http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/sport/football/premier_league/arsenal/article5321718.ece

It is absolutely the coach's fault. It is fundamental that you don't let the ball bounce! If you can't remember that then you shouldn't be playing.

But the really big contracts were handed out by Lowe?

'Apart from that, Mrs Lincoln, how did you enjoy the play?'

Sign him up! He's got to be better than this useless shower.

It's going to take someone special to turn this shower around. I'm not sure that Davies is that person but any manager who knows what he's doing would be very welcome.

I agree with you but it's not a fair analogy - Bligh was a very good seaman who knew his stuff.

This is just what I and many others expected. I cannot see this getting any better and who knows where the next goal is coming from? It's very sad but there's no pleasure in saying 'we told you so'.

It was absolutely freezing, I have never been so cold. I can still picture Kevin Moore scoring, he was rather pleased.

Born in Cork, he's played a couple of times for the Republic of Ireland.

I'm sure it would. We seem to have used an awful lot of players this season. Does anybody have the figures?

If he could play for Bournemouth then he could play for us. I'll never forget his reaction when Stern John scored the third against Sheffiel United. He was jumping up and down like a three-year old.
