I think it may be easy next year to get promoted as we are competing with Charlton Leeds and Norwich at the moment who are large clubs.

Yes I would agree but not sure about Thomas maybe a new CB So Saga Trottman Mellis Holmes and Antonio out to be replaced by better players

They beat us though

Anybody know what this drivel is asbout?

You wouldn't get 31,000 at St. Mary's for that kind of football, even if we were third in the table. QUOTE] Of course you would it is results which count

I did not realise you had become an Anorak Stato DD:wink:

But if we had won perhaps we would have bought players to push for promotion this season As we did not win promotion maybe out of the question and we will play the current squad with replacements for players who leave

Perhaps you wont if they get promoted By the way I thought your post was arrogant and out of order. Clubs like Colchester have little income and are doing very well in the circumstances

Yes to make the team stronger we need the players you suggest but to have a real chance of promotion we need need more I would have thought

Perhaps we should get rid of our Academy as we dont seem to want to develop our youngsters

Boothroyd does seem to get the best out of his players. Where as Pardew does not seem to bother with players like Gillett Saga and Holmes Would not want Boothroyd in the Premiership though

So you were not in a good position?

Well if we had Boothroyd instead of Pardew perhaps we could be in the play offs by now

I think he is quite a good manager certainly gets results

I thought we were in League 1 and had League 1 Players playing to League 1 standards and achieving good results

GS is not doing very well at Middlesboro either must be Scottish failure;)

When was the last time we had a decent winger I cant remember

I wonder how Colchester pay their players on a gate of 8000

Must have been a difference today I think the attendance was in the 8000s

Which goes back to the discussions about 451 versus 442 I still think we should play 442

The weather is getting colder and I am going to freeze at St Mary's on Saturday

Could be 16 if Swindon and Huddersfield win their games in hand

Not forgetting Swindon

To get into the playoffs with a ten point deduction the team would have to have performed as a top three team over the whole season something it has failed to do.

OK thanks Seems a stupid post to me
