hypochondriac

I totally agree. In the summer hopefully we can get rid of about 13 players or more.

On the Solent interview he said he was going to take a chance on a player who hadn't done so well lately. He was clearly talking about Otsemebor.

I think that is the issue and could be an problem. Having said that I found Cortese to be personally very receptive to what I had to say and I think he dealt with issues really well at the last fans forum. I would like him to stay. Maybe at the next fans forum if this is still going on then someone could ask Cortese about it.

I agree that Cortese should talk to the Echo if the Echo are prepared to try and resolve things. The current Echo reporting is a separate issue though. Writing childish articles and having sideways digs at the club is not on IMO. How exactly is that going to help matters? It's only going to make things worse and the Echo will lose out in the long term.

How does that mean it's not dead? Maybe he just decided not to talk after it backfired last time.

I agree with you actually. We need real quality in other key positions (not saying we have to spend big to get this but we have some obvious weaknesses.)

That and the fact that Pardew said he was taking a gamble.

What did he say then? Would be happy with a PM!

Yawn. Bored of continuously having to state that no one is writing off players. Pardew himself has stated that Otsemebor is a gamble. I just wondered if it was a gamble we had to take considering there was money available to bring in proven quality.

Screenshot?

Thing is though Papa should be brought on a lot earlier in games. He has the quality and I think swapping him and Antonio was working well.

I wouldn't trust Wedgie's judgement on players

If you visit truebluearmy you will see that many many skates DO care about attendance. It's clear for all to see that we are the better supported club. Do you really think if the situations were reversed that we would be getting attendances as low as yours? Pathetic support. You should be ashamed and you should care because you should want to do something about it.

I agree with Alpine here. He really should be starting. He is quality.

And even if he is it's still a gamble. If we were truly going all out for promotion this season then I would have thought we would have brought someone in who is proven quality. Same with midfield (though this may still happen.)

I agree. Why not try and get Ifill? He wouldn't have cost the earth and is quality.

Once we sort out the midfield it will have a knock on effect for the rest of the team. Te strikers will score more because they have more service and we will let in less because the back four are more protected. I still think we need a LM and a DM.

I think we need quality in every position. We are lacking quality at RB, CB (if we don't play our best pair together) and CM. Also could do with some pace up front.

Course it does and something is still clearly wrong with the team. I wonder what it is? Midfield still I reckon.

If you put across your views in a more normal manner then you wouldn't get half the problems you do.

Strangely I agree!

I would say a few months ago but that's not terribly important. Many people feel the same way.

I agree. No matter how much he and others try to deny it, the evidence is there in many of he statements he makes. I'm not the only one who believes this. He has an agenda.

I agree that Cortese has a case to answer. That does not excuse the pathetic articles that the Echo are writing though.

What's a 'Mom'
