Why is anyone surprised that JP knows nothing about which players are moving. Remember... we are moving away from 'Gaffer' culture. This means a move away from the 'English' way of the manager knowing what is going on with his playing staff, towards a continental approach whereby the Head Coach is given a pool of players and these are ususally chosen for him. some would say this is a good way so the clubs finances are in order first and foremost, some would say it's a means for the President (Lowe and Wilde) to have more input into football matters.

We'll outplay a lot of teams if we play like that every game but our youth worked against us in the end. James and Gillett in particular were knackered at the end. Davis 7 - good first half... a bit flappy in the 2nd James 6 - Started very well and got increasingly tired. By 80 mins was out on his feet Surman 7 - Excellent going forward, not too bad at the back Perry 7 - Got a goal, did simple things well Svensson 7 - Will only get better and he was pretty good anyway Gillett 7 - Excellent 1st half but tired and began misplacing passes Schneiderlin 8 - Excellent touch, would benefit from playing alongside Wotton Lallana 7 - Flitten in and out all game - promising though McGoldrick 6 - 1st touch poor, not a winger, not a line leading striker. Holmes 3 - Good for 5 minutes doesn;t look fit John 5 - Pudding Thomson 6 - Lively with no end product. Birmingham will win the league... just look at the squad - it's like WBA last year... 2 Scottish internationals up front (McFadden and O'Connor) to start with England U21 (Jerome), Ex-England ex-Golden Boot Winner (Phillips) and experienced Premiership Striker (Bent). We can't compete against that. We have too many youngsters on the team and it really showed. I can see us struggling to close a game out even if we're 2-0 up and have bossed it for 80 minutes. Also, if Skacel is fit - what possible sense does it make to not play him and play Holmes. Not picking on Holmes here (even though he was poor) but you get my drift.

I turned out for a mate's side at the tail end of last year when they were short... I'm 39 and 2 stone heavier than when I last played at 33. I did alright and wound up the oppositions 19 year old centre forward so much he turned round and spat in my face and got sent off so I didn't even get chance to go through the ****er the next time he got the ball. I aint playing Sunday football again.

When other household costs were spiralling about 5 years back, d'you know what I did....? I ****in' got rid of it. Best days work ever. Sports... if SFC are on I go to the pub. now I don;t spend time watching games I don't give a **** about as was the case before. Movies.... rent a DVD or go to the cinema... again, it makes you be more selective about what you go and watch instead of sitting throught some god awful ****e because it's there. I don't miss Sky at all...

That's why some people have played 2 in the LEAGUE then is it...

when I predicted (correctly as it happens) the Cardiff game... there was nowhere to Enter the Exeter prediction so I didn't. Load of ****e...

I think that Rudi, Euell, Thomas, Rasiak, Davis are all for sale.

It amazes me that people wanted shot of him. Quality player who got ****ed about last year by drunken George who made a big play about him being a vital signing and then ****ed him about all season. We want forwards with movement for this season. We had two and one has just been sold. rasiak and John don't move at all and don't get me started on BWP.
