  1. Wigan for me, 1 year too many in a relegation scrap. They have no ''sparks'' in their team this year. If you think of previous years, they've had a real quality player who has dragged them through some games. I.e Nzogbia when he was in his pomp, or Moses last year. This year they have nothing, just a bog standard team. Play decent enough football, but weak in very important area's. Think this weekend has put 1 nail into their coffin to be honest.
  2. I don't think there's room in the team for Ramirez full stop tbh.
  3. If this was in January or February, you'd have a point. But there are only 4 games left, so no, we will not be back in the ****e this year. We are safe and secure. We will not get relegated this season. It's safe to start planning for next year in the PL. Personally, I think the return of Cork has created a real blossoming midfield partnership. Morgan and Cork just ''work'', and they play each other like they're seasoned pro's. I wouldn't split them up next year, in fact I'd say those 2 are pivotal to anything we do next year.
  4. No, we don't. We could lose every game and still stay up.
  5. Good point, but painful viewing. Dross tbh. Looks like Wigan are gone now though.
  6. So, they basically haven't been punished what so ever. They might as well have not even bothered deducting the points, what difference does it make?
  7. Reeves isn't even a LB anymore. To be honest, he won't make it with us. He's coming on to 22 now and he's still wandering around in L2. Will be a decent lower league player, but that's it. Not really a prospect for us to get excited about anymore.
  8. What is it with Welbeck? He's a decent enough player, but what on earth ahs he done in the last 12 months to warrant a nomination? Oh, he's scored 3 goals. That must be it. I like Benteke, so think that's a good call and also Lukaku has had a decent season once he was given a run in the team. Carrick has been excellent as well for what it's worth, he's put in a midfield masterclass for Utd this year and his nomination is deserved in my opinion. But based on stats, surely Morgan should be in there? He's rated, statistically, as one of the best DM's in the world. Yet he's overlooked for the likes of Wiltshire and Welbeck. Wiltshire is a good player, but he's another example of someone who is hyped up beyond their actual level of ability, just because he's english and slightly better than the other dross we turn out.

    Hammond

    He'll be gone in the summer. Bought in to do a job for us, like Jaidi, Barnard, Harding, Richardson etc - they did that job and they were succesfull at the level we bought them for. So you've got to thank them for that, but now look forward to improving and upgrading on these guys.
  10. Bit harsh on Kelvin to be fair, can't forget the contribution he's made to our rise. But this is very good news indeed. Very good goal keeper and a safe pair of hands.
  11. I can't include Ramirez in our best line-up at the moment, because he simply isn't one of our better options at present, Davis offers much more in terms of 90mins. Would rather have Jay and Lallana on the flanks, and Davis just behind Lambert. In terms of ''names'' it probably is our best line-up, but it shouldn't be decided on that.
  12. Very good results tonight, happy with those. Keeps us nice and clear of the bottom 3, and keeps us in touch with all above us.
  13. West Ham 1-0
  14. God, I remember that very well. Every week we got a massive result, only to then check the scores to see Huddersfield had done the same! Was exciting, if nerve racking! The win against Plymouth on bank holiday Monday was great, I'll never forget that day. Loved every single minute of it. I wasn't to know that was just the start though.
  15. Pekhart isn't actually too bad these days, and I think he always had the potential. He looked quite effective during his debut (A draw at home to Ipswich IIRC) - but he faded after that, as well as most of our team, but I don't think he was ever a poor quality player, which has been proven by his recent returns both domestically and internationally. Ok, he wasn't a world beater, but could have done a better job for us had the surroundings been better.
  16. A guaranteed 3 points?
  17. I don't think they'll be saying that after they lose to Acrington Stanley and Kidderminster.
  18. Makin was decent cover, to a point. But when we had to start playing him as a regular starter, at Centre Back, things started getting ugly. Southampton 1 - 4 Palace rings a bell.
  19. Darren Kenton. My god, he was off the scale ****e. Honorable mentions to Jordan Robertson, remember him? Bar a goal against Norwich, he was simply horrific in everything he did. Got locked up shortly after leaving us as well, don't think it was for crimes against football though. Lancashire was pretty embarrassing and I'd also have to add Skacel as well, a complete let-down in every single way. Barley contributed in the time he was here, bar a goal here and there. £1.6m too much.
  20. I can't. Luton were pretty massive for L2 as well, yet look where they ended up. And obviously Bradford City as well. They have absolutely nothing. Will be hard for them to gather any momentum.
  21. Knowing that it only gets better from here.
  22. He has been an absolute disaster for QPR this year, complete and utter tosh in every game he's played. Ask any QPR fan. Don't go anywhere near him please.
  23. Our effort in the championship was incredible, and to do it with the basis of our L1 squad was even better. We just looked like we were in the groove from day 1, and never, ever looked back. Easily the best side in that league, just a shame our final position wasn't a fair reflection. Completely unexpected really, at best I was hoping for a playoff push. I guess that makes me a smalltime fan!
  24. Very good news. It's now a long, long, long way back for them. Can't see them at a decent level for decades to be honest.
  25. Worst case scenario there, and that even gives us 42 points. No danger there.
