Not if we sign Puncheon ,he has a packet, something like 7 yellows and a straight red, must be aggressive, although Dons fan(s) say he is bit of a sulker if he doesn't get his way.

But where doe he do it?, he shouldn't be back in our box, that's too far back, the midfield need to be defending no lower than half way into our half. Being there doesn't count, needs to be tacking hard and winning ball.

He's not utter crap but he needs to be the 1 forward player in a 4 man midfield, he's raw and as far as I can see has no defensive qualities.

we'll i'll wait until it's on the OS. They mention Huddersfield, they've signed 2 players on loan already today. Obviously loading up for their play-off push.

OK stand corrected, but we did start with 3 real midfielders and Lallana instead of the wishy washy 2 midfielders plus Antonio and Lallana set up that we used on Tuesday.As I said on tuesday it might well work in the CCC but in this league you need steel and oomph especially on cabbage patches like Brentford's. Starting with Wootton,James,Lallana and Antonio was suicidal.If he must do that at least have the sense to use Papa instead of Antonio, or are we now totally obsessed with the long throw?

Not being an adept of FM I really couldn't say, but Falkirk are by proven fact a very, very bad side.

but we probably can't get them, that's the problem.If we were anywhere near the play-offs we might get a few good championship players with our money, but they just don't fancy getting three bales of crap kicked out of them every Saturday and Tuesday until June 2011.

But as we're in League 1 and will be for at least another 17 months it's no use even talking about players like (the old model) Beattie. We got Fonte to drop down probably with shedloads of money but also because he wasn't getting any at Crystal Palace.I'm sure he could have got a higher level club if he'd waited but he chose immediate security and a long term sporting project.Other than that we've just signed players from our own level.

are you sh*tting me? Beattie and Lambert aren't even comparable. Beattie was (is) a Premiership striker who scored a sackful of goals at that level. Lambert has never risen above League 1

Although I thought one of our better performances (Walsall away) was achieved without Lallana(came on near the end).We lined up James,Hammond,Schneiderlin,Antonio that day (or so I seem to remember) with Lambert and Connolly and we totally dominated them.You have to ask yourself do we really need Lallana now.

But Falkirk are very bad,

I think trusting in youth was last season's fashion.We're on the "if he's good enough you have to pay money for him" wagon now. I thought McLaggon looked good last season.I thought we could have got him a better loan deal than Eastbourne Borough.

We probably only signed Martin to play in the reserves anyway. Is it obligatory for League 1 teams to have a reserve side? None of the above will ever come to much, if they had any prospects AP wouldn't be throwing cash at anyone who has a pair of boots and isn't in our reserves.

it's only paper talk anyway.Just like Puncheon yesterday I expect, although that was TV talk.People are so avid for information (not fact though) that the meedjah will make up anything rather than appear ton not be informed.

Lancashire has already played for 2 clubs this season, so I suppose we're stuck with him until May now.

Yep a bit of oral gymnastics changing from language to language never does them any harm.

Skacel scored a shedload of goals in Scotland but didn't do much for us. Falkirk are the worst team in the Scottish prem apparently,their own manager said they were useless in their last game. This lad needs to prove himself in the Conference or something before anyone pays good money for him. We have 3 midfielders James, Hammond and Morgan, play them in a 442 with Lallana and 2 strikers or in 451 with Antonio (or Papa) and 1 striker and they're all we need.Whilst Hammond is unavailable we need to play James,Morgan and Wotton and Gillett or Gobern if necessary.We have gone transfer crazy of late.We had a team that was winning games, we change it and it goes tits up.

So we're going to pay money for him and then sit him on the bench to watch Lallana,Lambert,Antonio and Barnard play all the attacking roles? I'll believe it when I see it on the OS cos it makes no sense to me, we are top heavy with wingers and attackers and advanced midfielders.

Maybe a decent player but like I said on a thread earlier it will be just one more player and then just one more again and again with AP, he obsessed with buying players who we have no real need of. What's he going to do now play 4-2-5 and let our midfield get overrun every time? Unless of course Lallana is leaving.

It's nothing to do with the players in themselves, it's trying to fit 4 square pegs into 2 round holes.Lallana starts virtually every game,Antonio is a regular starter as well, yet when you look at the MK Dons JPT game we were probably better by far than last night,why ? because we started with 3 real midfielders and Antonio and Lallana partnered Lambert in attack.When you start with 2 front men and Lallana you have to sacrifice a real midfielder to make way for Antonio.That's why our 2 get overun by the oppositions 4 because Lallana and Antonio have no defensive qualities.

my my I was right about the number and the pricing, maybe I'm ITK

He has an ankle injury, maybe the same one that kept him out for 3 months or so earlier this season. I don't know, it was obvious we wouldn't take a chance on him before we saw how that reacted to playing a couple of games.

would have suited Gerald Bostock;)

He does know what his best side is, the one we have plus "one more" player that we don't yet have, after that it will be just one more and then one more;;ad infinitum. We have all we need, we just need to use them correctly as do all the other successful clubs in our division. I'm not knocking AP but we do have too many players and some must be earning far more than others, I suspect those signed under the new regime are on far better deals than those we had before, that will lead to trouble eventually.

Nope, 4 out of each 6 will only give us 70 at the end of the season, and that will be about 8 short of the ante.It's easy we need to win 15,draw 3 and lose but 2 of our last 20 games or any other permutations that will lead to us obtaining 78 points or more.
