Maybe it's some sort of "cor blimey guv" thing? Do they have tomatoes in the East End?

Who gives a toss what's happened up to now? The point is that we are 7 points off an automatic spot. The target has to be, IMO, to get this down to a maximum deficit of 3 points (ideally we would be better than that) by January transfer window. If we are in with a good shout of auto come January then we will be in a good position to recruit strong players and finish in the top 2. So, we have two and a half months to make up four points or so on second place. That is realistic and achievable IMO. We will start to score more goals. There are players in the squad who bagged a few last season who haven't got any yet. They will do. Ricky will start playing better at some point. Barnard will go on a run. Lallana is returning to full fitness. No need to panic - the season's obviously not turned out to be the cake walk it probably should have been but if we can be right amongst it by January we will still rightfully be favourite to go up. Our problem so far has been our home form which has been compromised because of missed chances - nothing more, nothing less. Form is temporary, class is permanent.

There are so many pathetic tossers in this world.

You had another match today?

We don't score therefore we need to sign a Galactico striker. Rarely has such infantile twaddle been peddle under more absurd a soubriquet.

Yeah, yeah, cut to the chase... Does he have brown sauce, does he have red sauce or does he have no sauce at all?

What a strange thread.

Look, no offence but you don't know what you're talking about.

Didn't ask - sorry!

Nah, someone better than that.

We have been missing chances, f'sure, but you can't assume we will continue to miss them. We are creating loads and are tight at the back; it's up to our players to take the chances when they come. It's not as though we don't have goalscorers.

So why did Guly only just make his first start then? Stop being a mentalist.

Apologies, I see you've already covered this!

See above.

I've no idea why he was sacked but if you have an employee on several hundred thousand a year you try to come to a settlement regardless in order to stop costly proceedings from taking place and in order to keep matters behind closed doors and avoid a public airing of your dirty washing.

at ludicrous Andy and his skate chums. The whole thing is just ridiculous. If £40k is the weekly liability of Kitson and Lawrence then that's an annual liability of just under £2.1m. Their turnover from normal operations (excluding ear-marked parachute payments and assuming no mega player sales in January) will probably be something in the region of £10-14m this year, I reckon. So those two players, at a stroke, account for somewhere between 15-20% of their entire available cash flow. Absolutely ridiculous, crazy, remarkable, for a company in administration to take on liabilities like that.

Eh up, me ducks, got four today. Will be staying over as well. Need to get hotel sorted...

It will be an unknown Dutch bloke. We have no money and as everyone knows, if a company's shareholder dies you get stuck in an intractible probate web and business grinds to a halt for months, nay years, on end. Mind you, NC could end all this with one call and it would be amzing, a revelation, BUT PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS POST.

Huddersfield concede on average over a goal a game at home this season. There is no reason why we shouldn't go there expecting to score at least two. Our defence has been very solid of late. For that reason I would not make any changes (except perhaps in relation to the central midfield dilemma of DH/MS/RC). If we play well, we will win.

He is pretty fast. Motored past players at Bristol Rovers.

FFS we're loaded. It wasn't an either/or scenario.

It's not odd at all. He is a good player with loads of potential and was cheap.

Yes, he was very good in that second half. He isn't the finished article as a LB yet but he's young and it's clear to see he has talent and good physical attributes. Good player to have in the squad and will get a chance again at some point.

Yeah, left leaning parties and folk would never do that. They certainly wouldn't employ legions of spin doctors to brief against people and discredit them. Never.

Just saw the "highlights" on the Beeb. Ed does come across as a bit of a gormo. Reminds me of when a geek at school would get angry and blurt something out then immediately look sheepish and nervous.
