Exactly. there seemed to a few listed there that perhaps could add experience to our squad. Isn't Koldrup a defender too?

Stiill, at least our attendance won't drop by a third for our second home match of the season!!! The fans are the soul of the club and won't let it die, huh?!

Would this be the yank keeper we have had with the U-18s since pre season and has his very own thread (started this morning)?

A football journalist on holiday the week before the start of the football season?!?! Not serious about his job if he can swan off on holiday at such an important part of the year! Tsk

Ah, but you forget we have championship level defenders and we are playing this year against premier league class defenders (as welll as strikers). ergo, no one will score more than a handful, and we will ship about 4/5 a game.

The kick off time allows you to watch the gold medal match. It was not moved to allow you to do so. HTH

The thing I like least about the home shirt is, once again, the sponsors logo. It looks far better, yet again, on the away kit. I'd like to feel the quality of the shirt first, mind. Without repeating the same point I have already made, last season's away shirt was far and away better all round than the home 'red and white stripes' effort.

Punctual sometimes, but not very often 20 minutes early

Good job we are nestled between the New Forest and the Meon Valley then. Not only that but there is an airport only minutes away with 5 flights to Manchester most days. Location is a really **** poor excuse to use, especially for someone who would be handsomely paid for the 'inconvenience'

We'd better get those 4 new centre halfs in and drilled pronto. 7 at the back, 2 holding midfielders and Rickie up top on his own. And this season we can put 5 defenders on the bench, leaving space for a back up keeper and forward to link up with Rickie for a stoppage time sucker punch

They (there are 2 of them) are a bit hit and miss, and do largely pass on rumours. However, one of them (at least) knows Danny Fox as they were at the same school. At one point Danny was their profile pic (just prior to his transfer to us if memory serves me well).

Did The9 not actually state that it had 7 stripes with one directly elow the point of the view? This would make the stripes thinner, and in my view, making the kit less appealing on the eye. The stripes on the Sweden shirt are noticeably thinner than on Itchen Dan's mock up.

I would not give too much credence to him...his story has changed beyond recognition. Each little change is subtle enough to portray an element of 'being ITK'. More commonly known on forums as 'back-tracking' or 'NITK'. The reporters in the Lancashire local press are more reliable

I think Jaidi has played a very important role this season. He seems to be a real character and has supported his team mates in many ways. He has trained so hard, keeping Jos, Jose & Aaron on their toes. He has been a great cheerleader on a match day. I, seriously, do not under-estimate his contribution in the team's success. To me, it is a shame that he did not get to play a part in the run in due to the need for 3 points on the final day.

This. Morgan showed today that not only could he play at the highest level, he would not look out of his depth at the very biggest sides. ood job he is at one already, eh! :-)

Tadanari came out after the game and spent some time with them. He had his photo taken with them and the signs, and even got the translator to take some pictires on his own camera.

Surely then we want West Ham to win on Tuesday? Two sides pull clear ..ergo we we are not constantly looking at a hist of sides' results & fixtures?

Its Gosport Borough, but hailing from ****ham I am not too surprised you got this wrong And at least they have always tended to lean in that direction. Whereas ****ham sways depending on which of the 2 is in the ascendency.

Yes - the fact the left back turned up in our left back position seems to have been over-looked by Fat Sam. If you are going to run that far to get involved the least the ref can do is have a (red) card ready for him!

I would expect us to change our shape, starting with a diamond in midfield to try and control the game (ie possession is king, ergo Morgan's 5-6 yard sideways passes), whilst matching up WHU's liking to pack the middle of the park. I think Hammond will come in for Guly in the only change to the starting XI, Morgan Hammond Cork Lallana Bart replaces DC on the bench. as I think you can only get away with not having a sub keeper at home.

So Adkins waited 35 minutes to react to the pressure applied from the restart? In which case, your criticism should in fact be aimed at the manager. It was after all he that was tactically inept FWIW, Burnley made 2 attacking substitiutions and changed their formation to accommodate this. Whilst they may have had more of the ball for a period in the second half, our back four were 'comfortable' IMO, and burnley were wide open at the back..just one ball caused them all sorts of problems.

That it most certainly did! Diffwent gwavy!

Morgan is always available and still retains possession, even when space is tight. He dictates so much of our play, from picking it up from in front of the back four, to switching play from left to right & vice versa. any side in the Championship and possibly half of the prem would love to have him in their midfield.

with benefit of the ref actually being closer than 30 yards away from the action more like!
