Sorry I agree it was a sarcastic joke you cannot live on what might have been Perhaps they might score more goals who knows Saga and Rasiak did not score many last season.

Probably yes

Sell who ever we can

Of course they would score if they were playing here like they and Saga are scoring loads for their loan clubs IF Holmes was playing yesterday he would have scored three.

That would be true if we did not need the money now

We may have a better Academy than other clubs. I dont think your other point maybe correct all teams are playing the new system so youngsters moving from the reserves to the first team do not have a three month learning curve

No you are right there is no real advantage to us I would have thought but other squads would have to have lots of home grown players

Yes I agree what you are saying. We only seem to have the expectation of failure not success although last night I thought we may win

Thats good then I thought I saw somewher he five yellows.

Obviously you have a valid plan which however I do not agree with. I do not think that boycotting will achieve your objectives and will upset an equal number of fans to those that you please. The bank I would have thought is only interested in the club paying off the overdraft not how many people attend or who is in the board room. Whoever is there will probably have the same aspirations - make some money and that can only achieved by having a successful team. If we have a successful team and a large number of people attending games we are also more likely to be taken over.

OK I understand your point but JP never seems to have a complete squad to choose from. So he has to mix and match

I think there is a lot of work being carried out to improve the way that the team is playing and yes I think overall it is getting better. I dont think people are sitting back at SFC loans are coming in from time to time and younger players are being given experience either here or like White with other clubs. If you are not happy with progress what else should be done?

I think you must be deluded in some way All Chairmen sell players to balance the books and players want to move for a variety of reasons Best Cranie Bale Jones Baird Mills Blackstock have been sold recently I dont know which of these Lowe was involved with

Surely if the team performs better the crowds will increase

We are missing Holmes and somebody like Dyer who can cross the ball

I think Surman is suspended for Saturday So I would go with the same team Pearce in For Surman

I think the Lions have only won a series once in NZ - 1971 since the second world war. However we did not do well in 2005 as we had a bad team. Likewise the Lions will not win in SA next summer

White scored tonight for Shrewsbury Hope his spell is productive will be in our first team soon I expect

Both Goals by Blackstock

Yes I agree but I doubt if the Lions will ever win a series again in the age of professional rugby UK players play too much.

Yes he was replaced by Alan Ball another Saints Player I was very lucky to see so many great players in Saints colours

Things are probably not as bleak as you suggest you are probably right not all will be sold in January. Since Lowe came back we have not been able to sell the old pros and now fans are getting upset that Surman and Lallana are going probably perhaps the strategy is working.

It is not the current situation however it is the situation he took over in May 2008

Reeves scored lots but missed lots too O'Brien excellent in Div 2 but not outstanding I agree with Terry Paine - Channon and Davies for the strikers they worked well together. Cant see MLT Chivers George Osgood Keegan Boyer MacDougal getting into my team
