Chaplow was our best player by a mile. For me, some showed why they are not in the League team. Seaborne was bloody terrible all game and Butterfield seemed a bit casual at times. Morgan started well then faded and Holmes just hasn't got it. The difference that Hammond and Lallana made was quite noticeable. Guly didn't look like he wanted to be out there and Forte should have replaced him at half time. I like de Ridder's attitude and he's a crowd pleaser. Final ball went awry a few times but took his goal well and has a touch of the Lallana's about his footwork. Will get better and better I think.

http://leagueoneminus10.blogspot.com/ NPC Preview and Pre-Season Part 4 ahoy!!!

He came down, did a medical, then decided it was too far away. It must have moved further away in the meantime. Then he signed for Bradford on big money and was always injured. We dodged a bullet there.

Hammond and 2-1 v Leeds

We obviously had a good defensive record last year but the caveat is that in about 20 out of 23 games at St Mary's, the opposition didn't attack, they left one up front and just defended. When we were put under pressure in away games, I felt that Davis at times, but in particular Harding and Seaborne were found wanting and if it were down to me, neither of those two would be first choice in my back 4. Lots seem to assume that the NPC will be a fest of flowing football fromt he opposition but it really won't be - more teams will come to SMS thinking they can win but the standard is not going to be Barcelona, there is still going to be lots of hoofing it forward. This is why I'd go with a back 4 of Richardson - Fonte - Jaidi - Dickson. To be fair, it doesn't matter which of our right backs play. If we could sign a new left footed centre back then I would and sell Seaborne on - you watch him the next time the ball is pinging round our box - he'll be the one asking what day it is.

It boiled down to taking my lad to either this or the Torquay game in the League Cup - therefore the competitive game won out as couldn't afford both. Also, cost was too high for this and he doesn't have the attention span for the format on offer today.

Dunno if this has been covered elsewhere but rule change sucks. How can they bring it in a week before the season starts when managers have prepared their squad sizes, partly on the need to have 7 subs. Bring it in for next year then fine.

Pre Season Part 2 - Getting Interesting www.leagueoneminus10.blogspot.com

Totally agree. Schneiderlin has most ability and is also the least effective.

Spine of team last year was ..... Davis.... ok but not brilliant - anyone remember his near post-itis from the end of last season. Fonte & Jaidi - yes to Fonte and Jaidi will be fine. People seem to think the nPC is some sort of fabulous league where everyone plays like Barcelona. It isn't and many of the teams will still hoof it down the middle Hammond - as long as he plays as the defensive midfielder, he'll be fine. Schneiderlin ???? - Hell of a lot to prove in my book. More ability than most but doesn't use it effectively enough. We had our best form last year when he was out injured. Lambert - yes, reckon he'll get 20 goals again this year My prediction for player of next year - Guly. He'll be settled in England now and settled around the club. He has loads of ability and will be exceptional this year.

Adkins is basically saying that Gobern is an ungrateful bastard. Good luck to him but not shedding any tears over this one. Goodbye Ninja

Pre Season Part 1 - Warning: Not Exciting... www.leagueoneminus10.blogspot.com

Eventually though , people stop turning up to gigs and playing live is where the money is these days. If your lifestyle affects your live show then sooner or later you are screwed.

The way Matt Mills was treated was horrendous. Whenever he played he looked good yet he ended up behind Jacobsen and Davenport in the pecking order - two of the worst defenders we've ever had. We did however get a modest fee for him, as we did with Dexter Blackstock. Woudl like to have seen Mark Peters get given a go. By all accounts he was a dickhead but you never know, throw him in and he may have been brilliant.
