Michael Palin was schooled in Shrewsbury.

That's not an opinion though is it? It's some sort of irrational personality defect. Your opinions about the team are valid but that reasoning above certainly is not.

There is plenty of dross in the Championship. More than enough to be reasonably confident of our current squad not being relegated, were it to be promoted. Would they be good enough for top 2? No, not nearly, IMO. Would they be good enough for play-offs? Probably not quite but look where Leeds and Norwich are and look at some of the poor sides who have made the play-offs before. It would only take one or two signings and some good management for us to go through the Championship. Much depends on who has been relegated the previous year. Last year it was three very weak teams meaning the likes of QPR and Cardiff's chances have increased signifcantly.

No.

What are your top ten?

No, I couldn't be bothered to go.

Lallana is much better.

You should've stayed - everyone said we were amazing second half.

your boys took a hell of a beating.

Do, do, do, doooo, do, do, do, do, do, do, dooo, doooo etc 2-0.

Ooohh, we won!

Well, most independent commentators seemed to think he was our best player. I dunno as I didn't go.

And we beat Bournemouth, Sheffield Wednesday, Notts County and Oldham.

Probably won't even bother listening to that one!

Thank you, Saint Clark. That is good Moderator behaviour. You are improving the forum.

Dave points out that the amount of time left in a match is inversely proportional to the likely number of further goals to be scored in it.

Have they put their ressies out?

Yeah, exactly, so why are Davis, Harding, Seaborne, Hammond, Lallana and Barnard playing?

Not sure I understand that thinking either. IMO you either put out your best team or you put out a second string team, with one or two first teamers who would benefit from further match time. I wish we had done that latter thing: second string team including Richardson and Chaplow, who haven't played a lot recently.

Apart from when he gave Hammond a decent partner at Notts County enabling us to take a real hold of the game and win comfortably.

I wish we'd played a much weaker team today.

What they'll be wanting now, Laurence, is not to be quelled.

Colin.

You're talking rubbish mate, complete rubbish. If you don't like that phrase then fine, replace it with, "don't want to go for a multiplicity of reasons" but the point stands. It is perfectly consistent to be a loyal fan and to decide not to attend certain matches. If you can't bear to miss a match that badly there's probably something wrong with you.

No, not dodgy games at all. I think Adkins just felt that D&R at home was a good opportunity to give Chamberlain a run out from the off. If I was Adkins I would let Chambo play against Shrewsbury too but bring Puncheon back in for Carlisle away.
