He probably won't even get a game

We should be OK but we have 3 or even 4 games that are not gimmes, I just hope that we don't go to Brighton having a game in hand but with 2 (or 3) points to make up because they just ain't going to roll over and let us win.

Perhaps with those N'Guessan crosses you need some sort of aerial presence in the opponents box, not sure that we had much of that on Tuesday,then again I haven't looked at the second half yet..

At least he'll get paid on time whilst he's with us.

I think it will depend on who we have available and and how much they decide to rough us up this time.

at this moment in time I sincerely doubt that we can win this league. Of course it's a mathmatical possibility but anyone who believes that Brighton will just cave in and surrender 12 (or 13) points to us in the last 10 games of the season is probably over-optimistic.

there really can't be much question of them going out of business before the season ends,if that we're the case someone would have stepped in and bought one of their hacks,Peterborough or Brighton perhaps. These end of the world scenarios from administrators have become complete tosh, everyone knows it's not going to happen and just continues negociating the bet deal for their interests.We'll no doubt be owing them for 3000 odd tickets soon, maybe more so that will bring them in 45K or something like that.

Haven't MK Dons won 6 out of 7 and drawn 1,beating Brighton and Peterborough on the way? They were pretty mediocre up until mid February, there or thereabouts but nothing special and then whoosh they hit a hot streak.How long will it last that's the question. I'd think it's too late for them to think about automatic promotion still but they can make life difficult for the teams that still have to face them.

they play 4-3-2-1 though and it makes all the difference. If we're going to play in that same way all of the time then height is less of a problem, but as a rule we play 4-4-2 and you need some oomph in your two CMs.

Someone will start a takeover thread I expect, should see us through from the forum match to pre-season. If however we should fail in our promotion bid summer will be just one long change the manager/sell all the players time.

Although I think it might be better if Charlton didn't win, don't want them to start playing well again.

Not really the sort of comments you like to have on your school report card are they.Still fans can be biased I guess.

Looks like 18 from the photo on page err 2 of this thread (I read from last to first so page 6 for me)

I'm just going to wait and see what he does when he actually plays for us.He won't be first choice anyway,certainly not against MK Dons.

The key lies in the matches between the top 7 teams. We unfortunately have still to play 3 of them, 2 away.If the better placed team(on points average/game) wins each time the points needed will be more than if the lower team wins.

20K is way way off the mark.Anyway this lad's just a loan and then we'll see where we are with what we've got already and where we're going.

Im69 is 5ft 6 and some dust, my daughter is 1m71 and it really isn't very big.Perhaps I'm just biased because I remeber the Eamon Collins fiasco.

why are we getting these comparisons with Gerrard, he's 6ft 3 and Stephens is about 5ft 6, how's that a similar build??

In fact we were good enough to win at Charlton, we did win but an incompetent linesman made a mockery of that. As we have benefited from dodgy penalties given and not given on other occasions you can't complain too much but we did beat Charlton in a better world.

Anyway Colchester have very few fans and their ticket prices are lower than ours (although they do operate a grading system for good/bad/indifferent opposition). Shouldn't even be in the same league as us. The football league should implement a minimum and maximum budget for each division.

nobody has sold anybody as yet. Oldham are really really skint, they couldn't pay their salaries on time last month. Even a loan fee may help them through and as they have absolutely nothing left to play for this season they might as well benefit, even if it's only 50K and 2 month's of the players salary.He'll be in the shop window as well.Plus they get a player on loan from Blackburn who's probably no worse that Stephens.

"I'd like to think so, but as far as I know it's just a loan at the moment, but hopefully I'll play games here and I can impress the gaffer. I'm delighted to be here, and I'll just take every game as it comes because it's a test for me, but a good opportunity too, so we'll see what comes of that. Where's the ambiguity there then?

Coventry won't be relegated this season, they have a 7 point buffer with 8 to play.

He's not a purchase, for the time being it's a short term loan, no option mentioned whatsoever.I suppose if he proves himself with us and the management think that he could move up a league with us then we'll see about a permanent deal. Probably cost us some sort of loan fee though 50K maybe.

As I said yesterday then just loan until we see what he can do.
