S-Clarke

He's already rubbished any takeover stuff in the big interview he did with the BBC a few months ago. This will be ignored by Cortese because it is complete rubbish. He's definitely true to his word.

Agree, maybe even slightly less. It's going to be very close for 2nd right up until the last week. Will probably go down to the last game. Not sure I can take that!!

Well we were quoted with an interest, Adkins didn't deny it when asked - so I wouldn't be surprised. But those offers are a bit of an insult to P'boro and the player. He's worth well over £1m - closer to £2m

Ah well - shame. I like him as a manager, he'll get back in job very soon. Rumours are floating around that Gus at Brighton is a target....would be great for us.

One massive plus we have in these up-coming games is the return of Lallana. We're a weaker team without him, so our chances of winning increase as soon as he's back in the team. He can be totally unplayable at this level.

Bit of a joke sacking, again. What do WBA expect this year.....? Bit like Newcastle sacking Hughton. WBA may be in slight free-fall at the mo, but they still haven't been in the bottom 3 all year.

I've lost complete interest in England tbh. I find that internationals now irritate me more than anything as they disrupt the club schedule. We just don't have enough technical players to make us a threat to the biggest nations.

Funnily enough there was a thread very similar to this on Huddersfields forum after we beat them. ''Time for Smithies to be dropped?'' I think. Shows how fickle football is.

and the person he interviewed before that was Lawrie too.

I have a feeling people are string again. Bitter people in the background. A few names come to mind.

We could do with them losing a few too.

I think Jaidi would have been slaughtered by Mackail-Smith tonight.

He had a poor game, but he's not a bad defender really. Unfortunately some people will not change their views on him and he'll always be seen as awful by them. He's not wanted by teams in the Championship because he's poor.

I'll call the Taxi.

There will be a few frustrating results within that block, but we'll win our fair few I'm sure. We just have to hope that the Bournemouths and Brightons stop flaming well winning!

His reaction and attitude to Chaplow was totally unprofessional and respect to Chaplow for just turning away and ignoring it. I think we could all lip read to work out what he was saying to him. His stint at Preston proved that he is a pretty limited lower league manager destined for nothing much at all.

Forte has to go, he had long enough to prove himself. Missed a complete sitter from right in front of goal to add to it all.

Nah, he's just a rambling moron. I've kind of got used to his pathetic posts. Look back at his history, most of the stuff makes you cringe.

I thought the same myself. Would have given 4 at the very very most. Fergie time.

Well said Deppo.

I'm not sure this was a Morgan game, I don't think he would have made a massive difference. Our midfield was pretty good I felt, but it was just a freak game. You get them I guess. We should have known what to expect when looking at today's results!

p.s - what a totally ****ed up day of football in all the leagues. Mental.

He did make a couple of cracking saves today it has to be said. But the first goal was poor. Other than that he wasn't at fault for any others.

His first half was great, but his 2nd half showed a bit of immaturity about his game and he was getting caught in the wrong positions and doing the wrong things. To be expected though, he's only 17. I'd have subbed him personally on the hour mark when we had our 2 goal cushion back.

We weren't poor. Defensively at times we were, yes, but we weren't poor as a team and we played pretty well in attack and could have scored a couple more. I'm deflated and gutted we didn't win that as we needed to, and should have - but you cannot say we were poor today.
