Pardew may not be a useless manager but he may not be a very good manager only time will tell. Not many including me are suggesting that he should go but I think there should be discussion on the topic as some of his comments and tactical decisions are open to question. If he cannot work with Cortese that is a problem . I dont know whether there is any friction between the two but there have been lots of comments suggesting there is

What really surprises me is that whilst talking face to face to most Saints fans there is little abuse and usually agreement on most topics

I was not a Forum Member in those days but I find it strange that people did not agree with you I certainly did as did did many non forum members But this is thread is about Pardew and I am still not completely sure he is the man to lead us forward as seems not to perform well under pressure but lets see how things work out next season before suggesting that he goes. The team is still gelling but needs players to be playing consistently well all the time and creativity in Midfield I think the defence is good as are the strikers so over to you Mr Pardew

So why was James not playing from the start most of us thought Wotton would be of little use.

Crystal Palace as well perhaps

I disagree we have been very consistent since October but crap in the first few games

There is always Brentford for you

And me too he was nowhere near the ball

It is very difficult to win seven or so on the trot - we just needed a better start to the season.

Yes good team

The thing I remember most about Steve Moran was the indiscretion with some young lady in Scandanavia but he was a good goal scorer. We certainly have had our fair share over the years

There has been speculation that Coppell was in the frame for DOF which is now not the case

The Best Goal I ever saw was the Terry Paine one at Leyton Orient in 1966 which gained us Promotion in 1966

Not really sure we need one as Pardew seems to be doing very well http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/b/bristol_city/8629045.stm

Well what about Swindon and Leeds today not results that were expected

It is typical of most League 1 Clubs I noticed a week or so that apart from Charlton all other attendances were less than 10000

I thought Pardew was Crap at Charlton

I would expect to win no matter what team we put out

It is just football look Leeds lost today Swindon drew sometimes things dont go right. Our results since October have been excellant

Yes I agree just got my ticket for the Southend Match which hopefully will still be a meaningful match

owl

The reason they are in the playoff is that they have won a lot of points . Like SFC sometimes they dont play well especially in such an important match If we had a better start and beaten say Stockport and Brentford at the beginning of the season we would probably been in the playoffs Huddersfield still have to get 5 points from 3 games to be guaranteed a playoff place which is by no means a certainty

Seems a very biased post to me . Both clubs tried to gain an unfair advantage by buying and paying players without the neccessary funds to meet the costs. In both cases it was the overpaid executives who caused the problems leaving us fans to pick up the pieces and I am pleased that some Pompey fans I know had a good day yesterday as they have been telling me for some time that thier club was on the way to ruin.

Unfortunately somebody has to be the least effective signing but as I have only seen him a couple of times I can not properly judge

I thought they lost the JPT N Final on Penalties
