derry

I was told in confidence and the player is still at the club.

So have I. Through a player that was present. Cortese had no choice.

Both Pardew and Downes were suspended then subsequently sacked with no comment by either party. There was an incident after the match I believe.

one point from the first two home matches wasn't poor?

I think people have short memories, a train crash of a pre season, poor results followed by defeats after he left, bottom of the league and Adkins had to turn it around.

The fact that Gazzaniga replaced Boruc at WBA with Davis on the bench leads me to think that Adkins views Gazzaniga and Boruc well ahead of Davis. IMO the only way Davis will get back in if the other two perform badly, I can't see it. It would surprise me if Gazzaniga is left out.

People see what they want. It's easy to isolate glaring errors. The goal against Swansea and a couple of mistakes v QPR but the rest of his game was decent. A big plus was nothing coming back off him or being beaten at the near post and the save against Fulham was a result changer.

Because he came with a reputation, overweight and has proved anything but. I first saw him in the U21 game v MU, I was looking forward to seeing him play but he was a massive disappointment. He then played two first team games that were really poor displays. He needs a big change to make him fit for purpose. If he can recapture previous form, fine, but not from what I've seen to date. Either way the defence has looked better with Gazzaniga in goal, especially Fonte.

Neither Davis or Boruc have shown anything in the matches they have played that would get them in the team. Davis was awful, Boruc was awful against WHU and poor enough against Spurs to get the crowd on his back. Evidence of class is what I'd like to see not pie in the sky. Boruc to date has been a massive disappointment and looks overweight and ponderous. After two months here I would expect to see him slimmed down and unless he has forget it. I'd prefer what we have with Gazzaniga rather than reputations that look well out of date. I'd be surprised if Adkins changes a defence that is improving week on week.

Does this not say more about the poor standard of the England team than about Puncheon's ability.

After a few games in which he looked a good footballer he badly injured a foot needing bone restructuring. After getting near to fitness he suffered an arm/elbow injury. He has played a couple of games and needs to regain fitness but IMO he will figure in the squad in the fullness of time.

It was his ammunition. I think pleading guilty is the main problem along with a knob JA.

No, first time, he might have been to the states but he was at Frimley. Another relation commanded a field ambulance at Catterick before the Falklands, after retirement was chief exec of the Staffordshire Ambulance Service until they merged and he retired.

My cousin is serving as a doctor at a firebase on the front line in Afghanistan. I'm sure any wounded he has to try and keep alive until casevaced would appreciate any experience he has over and above normal hospital trauma treatment.

Firstly IMO outrageous. Secondly Mike I think the Glock was planned to be decommisioned and displayed at Hereford and was packed in his kit by others after he had left Afghanistan to accompany bodies to the UK. He then suffered a coma/brain damage before this was done and suffered a memory loss forgetting what was in the kit. It was the police on a tip off from the estranged partner of a colleague staying in the same property looking for alleged ammunition found the Glock. I would have thought a warning would have been appropriate.

So what happens if Portpin say bid £13.6m for the ground which they maintain is the value? They are secured creditors for £17m so in theory they would in effect pay nothing except legal costs and take possession of the ground. The value would be irrelevant as any money in PFC goes to Portpin. Surely that would scupper any attempt to buy the ground at a knockdown price. The Administrator would have no room for manoeuvre and a court case wouldn't work, would it?

I hope all the people that are advocating playing Boruc have seen him display the alleged qualities enough times in important games for his previous teams, because he sure has hell hasn't displayed much quality in his three games for the club so far conceding nine goals.

Same team.

Short interview then?

Sums the situation up accurately IMO.

Boruc was poor against Man Utd U21s, Woeful against West Ham, very average against Spurs. He has done nothing at this club so far that should entitle him to replace Gazzaniga. I may be wrong but I don't think Adkins will change this team unless he has to.

Davis is nowhere near good enough. Good shotstopper except on his near post, useless at crosses, communication, distribution, line bound like a rabbit in the headlights, regularly bats the ball back out for forwards to score, makes Fonte a nervous wreck, Adkins would need sectioning if he picks him in the Premier other than if other two are injured.

Looks that way to me. Lallana was much improved defensively and Puncheon did a decent double team with Clyne.

A lot more assured than against Spurs and West Ham. The unfortunate clearance last week and several times he came today, wrongly in my opinion, however the defence was much better than with Boruc who looked ponderous.
