Wiltshire is the closest thing England have to a fabregas/Xavi type player.

Fair enough, but I think the results so far suggest that he can handle the pressure and is handling the players very well.

I can't tell these days nick...!

Nice site and video MLG.

That's a really stupid comment really. NA is a proven manager at this level and has achieved promotion from it twice (once as a champion). I don't listen to all this rubbish about ''oh it's only scunny, they're little fish''. It's still the same task, and he has done it before with a relativity weaker team all be said. He's the right choice as manager. I think the results prove that. If we only reach the play offs I will not be happy and I'm sure many fans would agree with me. Automatic promotion has to be the number 1 aim this year, anything else equals a pretty poor season.

I don't think we can afford any more than 3 if we're serious about auto promotion.

They're having a purple patch. They will finish midtable and will never threaten for promotion. If they do, i'll happily come back and bump this post!

I agree with alot of posts in this thread.....our task is quite simple really, we don't have to look at other teams and hope for favours. We just need to do our job professionally and consistently. I think we're the best equipped to do it...

I think they're a bit too inconsistent though. One week they'll win 1-0, next it'll be a 6-4 defeat or something random like that. I think they are always likely to concede sloppy goals which will pull them short of the autos IMO.

FT - Charlton have lost what a great result that is.

Their season was over the moment they appointed Megson.

Charlton equalise.

Harsh and unfair thread really. Wait till next January before posting a thread like this.

Adkins judgement has been proven to be very good too. He gave beckford his chance when he signed him on Loan, I believe he signed Billy Sharp from Rusden - then replaced him when he was sold for big bucks with Gary Hooper from Hereford (who then left to join Celtic) He then signed Hayes etc.... His judgement of strikers is outstanding, he's not really made too many signings as yet to be judged. You cannot tell me you're judging N'Guessan and Forte yet? I remember the slating Antonio got after his first few games......then in the summer he was the next Pele.

Just done the predictor myself. Out of the 18 games left - I've got 13 wins , 2 draws, 3 defeats finish 2nd, just. 89 points. Out of our last batch of 18 league games we achieved: 11 wins, 4 defeats, 3 draws - That would give us 85 points if we repeated that form. We're not far away at all. Just a little more consistency... One thing that struck me was how many of us play at home on the last day...this is going to be very nerve racking. We need to make sure we're in 2nd going into the last day... Huddersfield v Brentford Charlton v Hartlepool Bournemouth v Rochdale P'Boro v Daggers (although I think P'Boro will end up as a playoff chasing team) Saints v Wallsall

Pleased with Lambo, although he had a sluggish first half of the season. It should send a chill down the spine of the other teams in and around us when they look at his recent form. He's back.

He always over reacts, his post history is a great laugh.

I see you cleverly forgot to add Chaplow into the list of players he's signed, because he's been a success and that would therefore make your argument silly. Still I see you're giving the new guys a long enough opportunity to prove themselves. Oh.

Today was the worst thing that could have happened for Dany. I'd be surprised if he ever takes off here as we all want. One thing the Leicester fans made clear to us when we got him is that he's a confidence player, his head dips very quickly when the crowd get on his back and it's hard for him to raise it again. Imagine how the poor fella feels after being cheered off the pitch. Total joke and we may now never get to see the best of him.

RIP if true. Awful news.

It did, had a few mongs around me. They summed up their footballing knowledge when they came out with these classics: ''When will we sign Guly? we obviously don't have the money anymore'' ''Lallana's not the same player is he? He should have gone in the window as he wanted to'' ''Lambert needs to wake up and smell the roses, he's not good enough for this team''

Wasn't great to watch and not much really happened of note. Not going to bother writing much up as I might end up falling to sleep! At the end of the day - we won, 3pts and a clean sheet. That's all we can take from this game.

It was a reaction that left me cringing. We have some complete mongs as fans, they're probably the same that shout '''WHOOOO'' whenever the oppo. bring on a sub. It's boring now.

Now that's a panic signing if I ever saw one.
