I find it very sad that probably the best centre forward of the late 1960s is living in such a way

Perhaps you dont have the key attributes of a football expert . Just give him a chance I agree he is not the finished article but he should be given time to develop

I suppose he wanted to sack George but had no money to pay him off

I agree we need younger players who can take us forward

Possibly James and Trotman not experienced enough Harding has little support from Midfield Jaidi is getting a little old

Reasonable approach but I cant see it happening it is not defensive enough for Pardew probably

Saga is no callow youth either Trottman only 18 months or so older than Lancashire. Lancs is only 20 now and could develop into a good CB

Me to

Yes totally agree. I think it is more important to beat Norwich in the JPT than the league as like you I do not at the moment see us making the play offs and never really have

Worried about what? I cannot see us getting relegated

Yes that seems to be the case unfortunately

Yes having loads of money is OK but having good health is probably better. Hope Paul gets better soon but pleased he did not take us over

Exactly but perhaps we will be in the same League next season but who really cares as for the first time for years we are winning lots of games for a change

It does not matter what system is played if the players have a bad day. I did not watch the match but understand Trotman had a poor game but he has played well in both 442 and 451 formations

We had a new manager but it took ages for us to win

I think you are right it seems impossible to play both Connolly and Lallana from the start

New Zealand

I dont think the posters on here are realistic enough the team is OK but not brilliant as was the performance v Charlton

Yes I thought Charlton looked good in the last twenty minutes not sure if it was their full team playing However Charlton won 5 1 yesterday with one days less rest

Pardew has done OK so far but I think expectations are too high. The team is pretty good but not excellent as some posters suggest. We will continue to win more games than we lose but getting into the play offs is going to be difficult.

Osgood before he broke his leg He was nowhere as good after

I think despite ML and his billions players will still leave for higher pay at Premiership clubs I dont think much will change in the near future but once out of contract Lallana can leave for nothing. So he maybe sold at the end of the season

Terry Paine would give Lambert and Connolly Loads of Chances

But in 30 years to you may be able to relate the day we got back to the Premiership

A relative of mine I believed streaked around the street in Australia where he was working at the time
