I am really happy with the manager AP My comments regarding Wotte were obviously misunderstood but you. This is s forum where I thought we discussed football matters as well as putting forward our opinions. I continually look forward as I want the Club to return to success and the Premiership under any manager or owner. So last month when we were not doing well I put forward the concern that if Pardew did not perform well that we would be in a bad position as we were stuck with him as it would be stupid to sack him. Obviously my concerns have disappeared but after discussing the Bristol Rovers game with someone like me who has been supporting the club for nearly fifty years we thought the position at the bottom of Div 1 to be dire. Now I am confidently looking forward to the play offs and a visit to Wembley But please dont get upset if my thoughts do not meet yours lots of them change with circumstances. I thought Saga was going to score lots in League 1 I was wrong now I think Connoly will

You over pompous prat This is a forum to discuss football matter and that is what most on here are doing. Teams that become complacent do not perform well as AP says

I thought the strategy was to get to Christmas and see where we are and then go on from there. Nobody really knew when or if the team would gel but it does seem to have done so and if the team is not dispupted with injuries we should be able to continue winning and possibly get in new players like we have done with Connolly and Antonio. Personnally I would like another central defender and a Left Sided midfielder

I dont think people are being negative in the least like me they want the team to improve and having Connolly and Lambert in the same team surely will do that

Playing against most teams I dont think it matters what formation we play as we should beat them especially if we play with an out and out winger. However at home I feel 4 4 2 is more appropriate . As in past season lots of teams have come to defend and we are left with the lone striker isolated

I was there but cannot really remember a thing. I was there in 1966 and even remember where I stood and who played

It was a good performance I agree but anybody with any nous would have made the substitutions. I agree a winning team is a good thing but it is possible to change tactics slightly I would have thought. If Connolly is fit who should start next week

Just want to see the team evolve and get better and better

Sorry comments too complacent NC ML and AP etc should be sitting down to discuss how to improve the team because with a couple of additions the squad is capable of promotion

Yes Good Point But who would you start the next game with?

Yes you are right if we continue winning anything could happen Need luck and few injuries

I Just dont like 4 5 1

I would prefer to start off with our best team perhaps Connolly is not fit

We should be out of the relegation next week and then anything can happen

You do make a good point about changing winning teams but I just dont like playing 4 5 1 at home Just want to keep on winning 4 5 1 is Ok away probably By the way Sir Alf changed a winning team in 1966 to make an even better team

Yes but if he had played 4 4 2 at the start what would the score have been. I dont think the subs were inspired they were obvious as most of the posters on here were saying

Well I still think 4 4 2 is the best formation at home But against most teams any formation will probably do;)

We could be out of the relegation zone next week

No I am not certain If Connolly is not fit for a whole game yes but if he is fit This formation should have started 4 5 1 does not seem to work for us at home

And give Waigio to Reading?

Yes but we are playing well recently 1 1 against MK is not bad at all with every chance of a win

Much better formation

Yes I agree with you about Waigio

Not if MK close the game down Any idea what the substituation is about

I was going to say that but thought better of it
