Would expect so, wonder what ever happened with John Williams?

Not really a need for a post like that, it's a very valid suggestion. Rickie has been awful for the majority of the last few months, the suggestion that we looked more mobile with Gallagher on the pitch is a valid one and it's an option that shouldn't be ignored.

I would hope and expect Ralph's involvement to way off of the pitch and no where near coaching. If he steps near the coaching side of it, then we have a major problem on our hands - but I think he'll be more of a voice/leader in the board room side of stuff.

GROUP D Germany, Gibraltar, Georgia, Scotland, Poland

GROUP E England, San Marino, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovenia

You didn't really need to include Lovren or Wanyama in that, both have contributed to us. More so Lovren who is now easily a £20-25m defender, who we got for £8m. Signing of the decade, he's too good for us and he's delivered way more than the outlay suggested he would.

I never thought I'd see the day! But I agree, we do need more movement in that striking position at the moment.

Enjoy and make the most of what what we have is my view on it.

Jesus christ, you can't apologize and start waffling all over again! Just ignore them already.

I think you've hit the nail right there FF. I don't think they will though, will be an interesting summer and in my eyes a bit of a struggle next year.

If you truly believed we were ever in a title race, or actually had a chance to win the league, then you are even more foolish than I thought. We're a mid-table side at best, MP looks like he wants more, but we can't give him that. This isn't a current shambles either, really. Slightly OTT as per. The shambles was last week, this week is just frustrating.

Agreed, I wouldn't say ''out and out'' wingers, but an attacking player who can operate across the front 3 and take players on. Punch wasn't a great player, but we never replaced him and he was an alternative option. Same with Osvaldo. The core 11 is good and strong, but when they have an off day - which can and does happen, we seem to be in a situation where we just have to suck it up as we can't do anything about it.

Eh?

TBF, it did today.

We're a mid-table side, and we've done pretty well to establish ourselves in the top 10. Just quite frustrating that given our comfortable position in the league, we weren't prepared to go all out for a cup. All the dreams of adding new players are a tad pre-mature too IMO, this summer will be all about who we keep, not who we buy.

He's an excellent manager and we've had some great days under him, but you just feel that a parting is coming. The mood of him, his assistances, the lack of any movement in January...it just feels imminent. MP bought the dream that NC sold unrealistically, and when he's found out that we're actually just a solid mid-table team, he's got a bit bored. He'll get a job at a big club and do wonders, because he's a great manager and everyone criticising him will look rightly stupid come a year or 2 down the line. He's stagnated here because the club has hit the ceiling, he's lost the interest as there's no where else for us to go. ..Although a cup would have looked good on his CV...

He did look good, In fact he's looked good in all of his appearances since around xmas time. Not sure what he's been eating! But he looks a much better player at the mo. Should start the next game for Rickie, and stick Jay up through the middle.

Good side, but we'll be playing a team striving for something. That'll be the clincher in my eyes. Sorry, we're striving for 7th. I forgot.

Powderpuff saints. A non-event of a game. What a **** 2 weeks of football. Way to go.

Even though we're pushing a bit in the last 10/15mins, we've still not scored. It's a bit pathetic really.

1 season too many at this level in my eyes, he's always had to manage himself and that was always going to get harder the older he got. For me though, he's my favorite player we've had in the last 10 years. Probably in the top 2 of recent times. There was always going to be a time where we had to evolve his position, It looks like NC had the right idea in January, as we'll never get £8m again for him.

A powderpuff display is how I'd describe it. We've not been awful.

As good as Shaw is, his crossing is utter crap.

Agreed. We'll probably end up with a hockey coach as manager, or something.

I think you do fella, you're struggling so much on here these days. Drowning in a sea of trolls.
