No he's a div one star not a world cup winner....

What was on his teeshirt?

Sorry Derry you are the one who pontificates. Frankly the fect that you believe you know best is irrelevant on a fan forum isn't it? Anyway I've watched abot 1000 games live, read loads,watched pundits and so one so I think I must of learnt someting don't you think? Probably you don't judging on the waffle you posted above...."we play badly when we compact the midfield and the evidence supports that" - what evidence????? COYR

No he's not ill just bloody miserable.....

Grow up please....

3 defeats in 21 league games - Leeds, Colchester away and Brighton home, 2 points per game. I rest my case - Alan Pardew is the man for the job!

Remembergeting in late , needing a crap and missing KO! Also saw MR break his legg! Memories............

Why? My bros is ardent WHU and rates AP not AC!! As for the Swedw - no thanks!!!

You are a **** - sadly there seem to be lots of dicks like you who want to ridicule the achievements of Markus and his team including AP. This club nearly disappeared but ML saved us. We are in a great position, and will rise again! AP is a great manager who is proving that. Sadly a few dickheads like you will not allow any progress unless it is withouit your approval. Frankly I want you to let things go and to back ML, AP and his team. We haven't lost a league match since boxing day and we're at Wembley!!! Is this failure? NO!!!

The other point is only 8 of those 20 have been home games.........

Sorry I must have missed something I thought Leeds are still in div one..... I want promotion not the play offs. That will happen next season hopefully automatically. Our league form is skewed due to the slow start while AP built his team. Last 20 games I think 11 wins 6 draws and 3 defeats nearly 2 points a games - 92 pts over a full season. If we maintained this including the poor start we would finish on 70 points which if you add back the 10 points would probably put us in the playoffs. Defeats home to Brighton, who have a terrific away record, and at Leeds and Colchester by the odd goal, both top 3. If you also add the Swindon and Huddersfield away defeats - both top 6 - earlier in the season things are not so bad. The worry is the inability to win away from home by the odd goal when leading particularly near the end of games on poor, heavy pitches. This needs to be addressed. However if we can't maintain this improvement for the rest of the season or start well AP will be under presssure big time in my view.

Docker I agree with that. I did the predictor tonight and even giving us 40 out of 48 points we only just made 6th so that's not going to happen. This team is potentially extremely good. It shouldn't lose many games next season should it? Here's hoping. If it does AP will be gone....

Wrong! Expectation will be higher, quite reasonably, but with optimism. The trouble is Alpine you always post in this negative way. Are you seriously that unhappy with this season? If you are I suspect you will always be complaining or criticising whatever happens next season. Just remember the last 2 seasons, now that was REALLY bad! Then enjoy Wembley and forget this season.....

Look no team wins every game do they? We beat the league leaders away Saturday then drew away not bad. The reason we are not going to do it this season is simple for me. Ten point deficit followed by 10 games to get the side right. We haven't lost a league game since Boxing day and played nearly all away games. Is that poor form? No of course it isn't. Judge things at the end of the season. I think we'll finish 7th or 8th, but would have made the playoffs with the 10 points added back. Next season will be different. I think we will be the Chelsea of the league. Just imagine them finishing oput of the top 6.......not possible. I expect minimum top 2 next season don't you?

Just done the predictor. With us winning 13 and only losing 2 we scrape in in 6th on 78 points! This year will be an unusually high points total as the top 9 are all getting results so forget it this year.......

Glasgow what actually do you want? Please start an AP out thread if that's what you want, but please stop these " I told you so" comments trying to prove your argument that failure is inevitable. You almost seem, not unhappy, that we failed to win as it proves your "argument". Just be honest you want AP replaced don't you at whatever cost?

you are a strange one - you glory in trying to find negatives in everything - half empty not half full!

Anyone know what's happened to Lloyd James - is he injured? Not on bench.....

Look Norwich signed 12 player before the end of July so I think they were likely to be a VERY strong side don't you? We've played catch up all season since 10 games in and done well. Why won't you acknowledge that? I think you have had a personal dislike of AP since appointment haven't you? Please explain why you seem to want to see the worse ineverything?

Saints had no pre season, no signings and no results for 10 games. Since then things have improved. You wont accept that whatever anyone says. I know that cup games dont count ( although I bet you go to Wembley and wont moan in front of real fans). I suggest you should follow Norwich and believe that you have proved your own dumb argument.......

Disagree. Bart is the logical replacement for KD in the future, for the moment he is a very good backup.

Sorry Derry that's always been the case. Name me a better keeper than the 2 we have that would join a div 1 side.

My god what rubbish! We've got 2 of the best keepers in the championship let alone div 1. Sorry but the goalkeepin position is NOT a weakness!!!
