Isn't Reed in charge of kit and equipment?

Funny you should say that. I was told in September he'll be gone by the middle of December, whatever the results. Seems to all tie in.

Maybe Cortese has signed off playing a different formation this week?

He's going to do things differently. Ie not listen to the lunatic dwarf telling him who to play. It would be interesting to see if that applies to Guly and his 15 minutes minimum. We might find ourselves with a legal case for breach of contract if he doesn't feature.

Im glad Nigel has finally had the balls to tell Cortese to wind his neck in and butt out of team affairs. I'm glad to see that if he's going to go, he gets carried out on his shield with his sword in hand rather than going down with a wimper. It might also get used to Cortese being told where to go by a new manager who wont stand for it. Good news allround.

Its true you know. I had a black mate and we all call him dirty Sambo and you know what, He abolutely loves it!!! Even his mum and dad started to call him it and when we had a fancy dress party once he came in a ball and chain and we all took turns to whip him and shout "come on sambo!!" and "dont eat my children you nig nog"! Oh how we all laughed!!! The video went on youtube and everything. They took it down for some reason.

i agree with Les on this one. It's time for perspective. With over a quarter the season gone and us projecting to achieve a MASSIVE 15 points and a record high number of goals condeded now is the time for perspective. I mean, its not like any of the other teams near the bottom have EVER beaten any of the teams near the top. They just write those games off, just Wigan did last season when their last 6 games which they need to win to stay up included Newcastle, Man United and Arsenal, all teams who finished in the top 5.

Will Cortese like being shown up like that though? I cant see it ending well either way. If Adkins gets it right it'll make Nic Nak look a plum.

Agreed. I much rather be in a 15,000 stadium packed with fans than a 30,000 one with 15,000 fans and 15,000 consumers.

being a mod clearly pays well!!

He doesn't really live in Oz. He lives in a 2 bed masionette in Woolston. the Oz/Skintsaint thing is a cunning mod ploy to make us think he is a poor emigrant struggling for cash thousands of miles away so we dont get the hump when he infractes us to get his targets.

He needs to do more core work to build up the strength fella. What good are strong arms and shoulders going to do when he's holding off an oponent or making a tackle. Massive tsk.

i want the mods to be fat. I always used to like bullying the fat kids at school. It's my revenge for the years of mongboard opression. Old habits and all that.

I sponsor Chalets Chicken dupiaza as it is. He is my most favourite mod.

I hope this proves i am not Bearsy, as i have been mugging the mods off via PM with tokyos.

He would turn in his mongboard grave if he knew his money was being spent on that foreign muck. Dune would insist his subscription is spent on tradtional british food live a mongboard mods carvery night out.

I wonder how many paying members there are including banned people who have made new accounts? You probably need only about 30 for a curry night for the mods. I expect the curry nights are funded by banned posters subscriptions as a reward.

Until hes played about 4 games, not the world beater hes been built up to be and then everyone decides he needs replacing and looks lightweight and out of his depth.

I imagine he is one of the top performers to be fair. He probably never has to worry about hitting targets, he's always got a seat at curry night. Jimmy D on the other hand, i reckon he might be a bit of a struggler and need to have a late push to get all his targets done.

Nor me, he certainly wasn't dropped because of performance as he was decent. I seem to remember that being the tactic by other managers with young players. I cant think why Cortese has stopped picking him.

I wonder if the mods have KPIs set by his Bajesty and Steve Grant? They have infraction points, bans and lock thread targets to achieve. They do seem to go on a bit of a mission every once in a while so i wonder if that is those lagging behind and not achieve their saintsweb incentive targets bump up thier numbers to make curry night.

That's what they do with young players aint it. Play them for a bit, then take them out the firing line for a bit. That's all i can think of as it's wierd that he was good enough to play against Man United and City in decent team performances but not not considered good enough for WBA when we are struggling.

This was my thoughts entirely. He has done absolutely nothing to suggest he is a good manager.

Okay, we'll most sensible people. A lot of people are certainly far from convinced they have this supposed great relationship.

He played a couple of times at centre back as a stand in and was rubbish. He was also rubbish at right back when he stood in there. I'm not talking about in midfield, i rate him there. he's a central midfielder and a very good one. When he's fit he's in the side in his true position ahead of Steve Davis.
