You can see that they're new to the PL, one poster hasn't caught on that there are no loans outside transfer windows in the PL.

BT sport I believe.

He didn't say anything about it in his post-match interview.

Think we might need to make a couple of changes to the starting line up, couple of the lads looked dead beat after 75 minutes last night and Morgan looked to be hobbling a bit towards the end. Perhaps we could just try Cork and Wanyama to see if it can't be made to work, it would be OK defensively but one of them would have to adapt to driving the side forward all of the time.

If you use Vydra as a yardstick anyone of his level would probably be worse than useless in the PL. the gulf is vast, few seem to realise that.

Of course, only played 45 minutes football in 2.5 months with just a broken leg, must be a real wimp. Now Jimmy Case would have just taped it up and played every game.:rolleyes: When he does come back there'll be wholesale moaning about dropping Jack Cork.

But you get extra TV money from the FA Cup as well (provided you're on TV that is). £247,500 for the 5th round game per club I think, plus a load of extra money for winning in each round. when you add it all up a cup final appearance must bring in about 5 or 6 million more than getting knocked out in the 4th round.

And then they'll no doubt moan and lambast the team and the manager because we lost. We needed a striker and a left back if we want to maintain our league position and go for the cup but as we seem to be on an economy drive just now I doubt that we had any real intention of signing anyone. I calculated that with the departure of Cortese, sale of Puncheon and loaning out Osvaldo we could in theory have saved about 3.5 million £ in the second half of the season...not bad.

Even 7th with the way Utd are disintegrating.

Many expect us to field a ridiculously weak side just so that their chances of Wembley days out are optimised.

We will never play a team as weak as that in the PL, the result would be disgracefully shamemaking. team tomorrow night will be roughly as per usual, they'll be expected to win tomorrow and again on Saturday. We don't have enough players that's all so the same just have to shoulder the load week in week out, some will pay the price for that by not being selected for their respective nations at the WC.

because we had U18 and U21 games against Arsenal this weekend ? When that happens I'd think we barely have enough players to go round. Isgrove was injured for long while and probably isn't anywhere near match fit yet; So he played half a game in the Us and then was on the bench to make up the numbers for the first team. None of the other numbers makeruppers get any game time anyway.

too many games and too few players. We saw that on Saturday, some of our lads look knackered and we've nothing else in the kitbag. If we want to have a good chance next Saturday we'll have to risk a sub standard side on Tuesday. We have what 14 fit senior pros (over 21s) and 3 kids who play most games, that just isn't enough to expect to win most games.

Clueless, now in men's rugby the Australian number 11 wouldn't just put in the tackle on the England number 11, he'd give him a sly kick when walking away as well.

because just anyone doesn't fit the bill. If we were that desperate we'd have kept Sharp (see he got sent off on Saturday) or even Barnard.

Lovren is in the Croatian group for their March friendlies so that should mean that he's approaching game fitness level.

What reserves would that be then, we only have just about enough players to make up the match 18 just now. In fact we put players onto the bench who have no chance whatsoever of getting any game time. I'd give Jonnoquick a number and put him on the bench at Hull if Gallagher isn't available, can't be any more redundant than Isgrove would seem to be.

Cork is a mopper upper, picks up a lot of loose ball but doesn't really put in enough tackles or make interceptions on his own account.

Stange that VW didn't come on at all yesterday don't you think, might not even have been fit enough to play for 20 minutes then because we could certainly have done with something different in the 2nd half, even send him on instead of Lambert or JRod and use him as a battering ram in attack. Didn't MP say he'd gotten a knock against Fulham ?

A draw would be a good result for us, think we'll get beaten myself, too many games and too few players to play them. Might change my opinion if Gaston or Dejan suddenly became available though.

No he didn't, no yellows for Saints today. Free kick given against him though.

If you say so then.

We were hoofing far too much ourselves. Not enough at the sharp end again against a side that defends well. Needed Gaston to provide a bit of imagination.

Same old last ditch dirty tackle...different ref.
