John B

On the bench today but did not play

Very true he seems very irresponsible to me

I said relatively easy but I did not say the play offs were a foregone conclusion Charlton are virtually in the play offs and Bristol Rovers and very unlikely to make them

No as I think both teams will beat Oldham I think Brentford Exeter are key for Huddersfield a win at either maybe bad news for us

But our games are relatively easy

It is up to Huddersfield to fail now still could be very close

I agree I thought he was you

You would expect us to be doing a little better but of course you are right we will probably go on to win. But if we are to gain promotion we need to beat teams at the bottom comprehensively which is not happening at the moment

Why? Swindon and Norwich seem to be winning OK

Morgan

Yes I agree

My judgement is slightly clouded by a few pints down the pub but I think I agree with you. I was expecting us to win this game easily but it is still early days

If he does want to change the manager and we dont win today it is possible because waiting to the end of the season would be pointless. Bit I still think we can win today

You do have a point but I expect we will win eventually Rasiak scores for Reading which is good for them and all the local supporters

4 4 2 is the best formation if we have some creativity in midfield ie Morgan Without him 4 5 1 shoould probably no be discounted

There could be some truth in what you say from Newspaper Articles written in the last couple of weeks. But I think Pardew should continue as results have been pretty good on the whole

Yes I agree it has been a very good season but unfortunately too many draws to make it an excellent Season which is I think is Cortese's Opinion.

Hopefully better than 2 0

I remember seeing A V Bedser in the first first class match I ever saw way back in 1954. The last time I saw him was at the Potters Heron when he was a guest speaker at a Hursley Park CC Dinner. A Great Bowler and a link back to my first cricketing memories of Hutton Compton Evans Bedser May Bailey Laker etc RIP Sir Alec Great Surrey and England Cricketer and Gentleman

I just dont think he is doing an outstanding job but well enough and I am not in anyway suggesting he should be replaced I agree I have enjoyed the season and it has been our most successful season for some time buying the two leading League 1 scorers undoubtedly helps.

Bristol Rovers?

Dont believe anyone can be worse than Steve Baker

Good player though who maybe looking for something new. Anybody else you detest?

I have never seen him play so I dont know what he is like although most who have, have a similar opinion as you. Just interested - He has loads of England Youth caps and was in the Everton Academy from an early age so some people must have thought highly of him at one time or other

What has happened to him as he has not been on the team sheet at Port Vale
