He normally plays 'centrally ' !!! What he needs to deliver is - stop giving the ball away and stop getting caught in poccession ! If he doesn't or can't do that then he will never be good enough. Simple really.....

Got bored and didn't read past the first few lines !!!

Can you please explain your point ?????

Something tells me you are an eternal optimist! Would be interested in just how many hits you think we can take ???

How you can make an accusation of 'bed wetting' when you could conversely be accused of complacency. We have lost our chairman with another one gone AWOL , manager, youth team coaches, three key players with at least another 3 key players possibly wanting to leave! These are facts, not just conjecture. We have signed a new manager but no players. We are into pre season training. We possibly have players on strike and say what you like but if this isn't a club in turmoil and with water still coming in faster than is being pumped out then I don't know what is........ We have sleep walked into a new season before now without making signings, people are concerned we will do it again... That's not bed wetting, however you appear to be complacent and the evidence of the last six months says the board may well be too....This is a concern would you not agree?

I would like to congratulate you on such an accurate assessment of that period under Yan Portfleit... (Excuse spelling) The football was really good and at least on a par with last year but we had a bunch if teenagers playing for us with no experience..... Not a team packed with internationals! Like your post..

What he said. !!!! One thing I will definately not do tomorrow is buy an Echo...

Horrible thing to say he can go and do one.... Pathetic disloyal person....

Sammy Lee - oh great !!!!! Very unimpressed

If you read what I said the 'dollar ' was not in the bracket of 'everyone has their price' we sold cheap. These guys were under contract and we let them go..... How far are we prepared to go down this road - where do you stop? Personal insults by the way only serve to weaken your argument and are not relevant.

Very poor business. What the hell... Everyone has their price but this does not fall into that category at all. We are so weak...... So how many more will be just let go. ? You can say if they want to go then best to let them but what if every wants out???? Just where do you draw the line ???? For me we have sent out very negative messages to the squad and potential new players. Where is our ambition, where is our will to win. Our two key players have been allowed to leave what the hell? I cannot believe the goings on at our club in the last two months....... We are now in the casino of chance that we don't implode on the pitch next year...... Mystifying that our board are so very weak ....

No he wouldn't start for England because he doesn't play for a 'big team' and is not flash. He twice the player Henderson is but Jack Cork could play that role for England no problem anyway but again won't get near that big time Charlie club team ....

Am a huge AL fan, however his performances for England in last two or three appearances have been quite poor. He has been very static, often too far advanced and out of reach of the ball and also standing like a statue whilst marked..... I don't know if he has been over coached for England? England are far too Zonal with players appearing to have to be in a certain areas of the pitch but still AL has been a bit shaky....

Not sure Cork for England is so daft ???

Just as matter of interest, have your seen Henderson and Wilshire performing in this World Cup? Both have been abject!

A lot of sense in this post. However you did leave Rooney out of your changes.... Rooney has been pretty dreadful now for a couple of years both in the England team and for his club. He is immobile and can't even control the ball when it's passed to him... His time is over too... For Woy to pick the same team again after Italy was clearly a really por decision. ( yes. I know we played Rooney in the middle this time). We were not that good against Italy for. Christ sake! While Im at it the complete media cocktail party over Sterling is mental. He runs around in circles up blind alleys with no end product! Put someone in charge who can really rocognise the problems, and players who are actually good enough. Someone who will not let the media love in brigade pick the team! My man is Hoddle who has been the only pundit to talk about the structure of the matches and talk sense about the personnel.

'Football People' need to wake up and smell the coffee. The do called experts all cozy round eachother and agree with each other whilst missing completely the detail .... For the first goal Johnson was at fault for listing his man and then not closing him down . Two glaring mistakes. This allowed the left sided Uruguay player to cross into Suarez for the first goal. Johnson is clearly not good enough at this level, however because he plays for Liverpool that does not matter! Henderson is at the very very best ordinary. Sterling was actually poor against Italy but his performance was completely over hyped. He runs into blind alleys continuously and has little end product. Welbeck has little football brain and whilst he is not as bad as those previously mentioned he is not able to make things happen at this level. Rooney is past it. Been living in hype for a couple of years now! We need people who are able to see a game intimately not in a populist way but honestly and objectively with an open mind that is not clouded by big reputations and which clubs they belong to.

£60 will get you a lot more than a taster session at a club round here. I think Grafham is one of those clubs run as a profit making company. Have raced there several times and it's run in a different basis to member run clubs I think I am right in saying....

Where do you live Doctor ? Been sailing all my life mostly racing. Loads of local clubs run great courses for very little money and certainly my club offer a cheap first years subs if you take part in a course.... Anything from beginner to learn to race..... Very family orientated but you can get serious too if you want to... I mostly sail dinghies by the way.

A poor paper these days with terrible editing. They insist on writing an article which is a total mystery until you get to about half way down it too. A very irritating a childish attempt to keep you reading but actually bored the t--s off you... Also continually repeat the same stories twice in the same issue ... Was a tradition in our house for decades - don't buy it now...

They did see us off good and proper with Fox though ! Bet they couldn't believe their luck ...

Errrrrrrrr ?????? The tapping up ?????

Enhanced contracts should be conditional on repayment of increased salary if transfer requests are made before contract is up. These contracts are obviously so fragile they are practically worthless in terms of keeping players unless our club is firm in what a contract means. Doesn't help that we showed such weakness in the case of SRL. This has sent all the wrong messages out to both our players and prospective suitors.... Wake up Board and send out a defiant message! As this hadn't happened apart from a wooly 'the new manager will decide' up to now has brought about this mess. Completely blame the board for not informing it's employees of the plan and thereby ensuring a bright future for them.... The mess they have allowed to happen has left the top players insecure about the future - Why wouldn't they tout around their CVs it's entirely logical....

I wasn't there but agree from watching on the box. AL's position sense wasn't all that either..... He was often too far in advance of the ball when we were attacking giving no outlet to other midfielders... He was often right on the Honduras back four and so very closely marked as a consequence..... He's a very good player but needs to be much less advanced and engage with where he can be passed to more..... Particularly second half ALL was quite poor....

Glad you would be happy - easily pleased are we?
