First of all, Surman and Holmes (to name two) are not CCC material and Dyer is? Dyer hasn't played a decent match all season. 1. Maybe DMG hasn't been performing as he should have but neither has John in the (limited) chances he's had. Maybe John should play, maybe Pekhart, maybe that new guy or maybe DMG but to say that John has to start is a bit OTT. That would just be based on last season in a different formation. 2. Skacel's exclusion is bewildering but I doubt if its down to the appearance fees, the club have even gone out and denied that allegation. 3. Maybe he wanted to test Killer before giving him another runout in the CCC. Especially after his dissapointing performance against Blackpool. Besides that I believe Killer said he could play, what's a coach supposed to do then? Not believe the player? 4. Scheiderlin has been injured and it looked like he went off with a knock again. Seems sensible to me to take him of at 2-0 to make sure he doesn't aggravate any injury he might have. 5. A bit of pace at CB (and height) doesn't hurt anyone. Lancashire made a stupid mistake against QPR but he played well against Doncaster. But he is a better partner for Wotton then Perry IMHO. 6. So what exactely are you blaming Lowe here for? Not selling Lallana? Because in my opinion he was right to reject the bid. If he's sold later for more money we'll have to wait and see but lets just wait until that happens before we start blaming him for doing that. All in all, although you raise some valid points about team selection your arguments are not very well thought through in my opinion. Any choice that turns out wrong is a blunder and even if the right choice is made (taking Scheiderlin off for instance) you still manage to twist it to fir your argument.

If he'd gone to watch FC Red Bull Salzburg he could have seen total football being played under the guidance of Co Adriaanse. One of the managers Rupert would have wanted if we'd have had some money and in my opinion the best Dutch total football manager there is.

When does it start again? It says autumn 2008 but no exact date on the website.

It would hurt Barnsleys chances of staying up though so good news IMHO.

Lets play a game. Its called 'spot the smilie'.

Damn, we should have kept Pearson. He would have taken us to 6th in the PL! I guess Fulham drew with Hull then on the opening day? The funniest thing is that they do say its his second goal below the picture of him celebrating.

It all about the muffins.

That is quite something! How about an inspired managerial appointment!

I can get SaintsTV in Sweden so I heard the radio as well. But its always difficult to judge one defender on the basis of a radio report. Unless he the player does something really well or bad he won't get mentioned and you can't really say a defender played bad because the defense was bad. It might be the other 1, 2 or three that were bad with one brilliant performance. But good to see that BT seems to think he played well at least. A young defender with a bit of speed does come in handy with our style of play and the fact that the other central defenders are quite old.

That's why I asked for it to be moved.

Oops, wrong forum, please move.

Just wondering how he went about things after his dissapointing debut against QPR.

Weren't they almost relegated the season before the went up and only saved because Brown took over just in time?

We brought the muffins home. Three muffins that take us out of the relegation zone. Great day really.

Not enough....

We seem to be dealing with the Doncaster pressure alright.

White on, is he going to bring the muffins home?

Buggah.

Penalty, again.

Is it me or has us starting to play better coindided with Scheiderlin returning? The last match we played with him (against QPR) we were actually playing alright with 10 against 11 and when he went off we folded like a deck of cards. Coincidence? And just as I write this he goes off. Please let me be wrong!

Surman takes it away from DMG, didn't want him stealing it like against Exeter. SCORES!!!!

Yes, penalty!!

The same could be asked about John or Rasiak. Lazy strikers that score goals.

****ing yesss!!!!!
