the target should be to win as many games as possible, so that includes all the cup games. Pard's has the same idea - we need to work on installing a winning mentality right through this club, it has been missing for so long. We may come up slightly short to do anything in the league this year, but it will hold us in fantastic stead to just storm it next year. This year is all about laying the foundations and finding the right mentalities. ...but that only comes from winning lots of games!

GOAL : No changes, unless Kelvins injury is worse than first anticipated. If so...poke back from Torquay. DEFENCE : I think we're now looking at alternatives to Trotman, i've got a hunch he would like to play at a higher level and PNE can offer him that now. Pard's will go in for Elliott Ward for a fee (probably under £1m) MIDFIELD : I think Mellis will stay with us until the end of the season, he's a nice attacking option to have. I'd also sign Jimmy Abdou from Millwall, very impressive deep sitting midfield player, scored the equalizer for Millwall at St Mary's and swept up v well. Millwall aren't flush with cash at the moment, so i'd expect a bid of around £1m should get him. Leeds tested the water in the summer. STRIKERS: We'll sign a striker on loan - possibly from low end premiership/top end championship. I think it'll be someone with a bit of power and pace to compliment the likes of Connolly and Lallana. A name that springs to mind is Marcus Bent

That's what i think people are getting at. He's 'raw' to this league and i think that can work to our benifit. He's not the greatest footballer ever by any means, but he's good enough to be a top player at this level.

Slightly OTT imo it did start off as harmless, it's only become this argument because of yourself and others getting worked up about it. i go back to what i said previously...if you don't want to see it, you don't have to look at it.

exactly, it's fine. If people don't like reading it, then why post on it? jesus, i never knew we could make an argument out of a great run of form.

i wasn't, no. but we won, if we play crap and still win - so what? we're not going to be perfect every week. At the end of the day, if we were playing fantastic..and loosing, I'd be more concerned.

There was nothing wrong with this thread - but then it was filled up with people disagreeing and making arguments when there shouldn't be any to make. We're in great form, scoring lots of goals and winning lots of games. Seriously, what the bloody hell is there to moan about?

I agree with Papa starting. He hasn't set the world alight, but he's got that unpredictability about his game - the oppo don't even know what he'll do next!

that is an amazing stat - doesn't look believable until you add it all up!

it will look even better if we can add another 3 wins to it...starting on tues.

that's the main thing for me - for a striker that scores so many goals, he's so unselfish. if he doesn't score he's often laid on 2 goals for the other lads...just a terrific all-round centre forward. He really is too good for this league, it just seems all a bit easy for him at times.

quite a good draw IMO. we should win, into the 4th round...and not many L1 clubs manage that.

rotherham or Luton at home....

i expect us to beat wycombe tbh, i'll be disappointed if we don't. If we play to even half our best, we'll be too good for them. Wallsall is a tricky one, they've got a tricky/pacey striker up top in Byfield...and i always get nervous when pace attacks our defense...

obviously keeping tabs for January, i expect us to be attracting some decent players in jan.

more like - it's a real boost, but don't tell anyone

3 points adrift at the bottom...and 7 points adrift from safety. they'll be going into december on single points -lol Big game against burnley next week, fail to win that and it's all over imo. Although i fear they will, as burnley are an abysmal side

i hate these statements you're so sure of it, point it out like your opinion is fact - yet offer nothing to back it up...then just slide away.

I think we're due a home draw in this cup...anyone at home for me tbh, would like to see how far we can get.

but once that dries up..the stats show that we will lose lots of games! At the moment though...esp in the FA Cup, im not too bothered. we must concede an average of 1.5 goals a game atm though, it is slightly worrying.

hammond weird match from him....a goal, an OG and a penalty given away.

frustrating to conceded 2 goals again...! but we won, so who gives a **** in the FA Cup? not me...!

really frustrating, this game should be over. but they're now going to completely hit us for the last 20mins as we've given them hope...

OG for hammond, this one was over the line...!

lol ffs
