  1. No it would be a complete waste of money. Doubt if Huddersfield will even try to catch up.
  2. It's best to watch American Football on ESPN anyway.
  3. Which is why I said that I sometimes find NA's selections and substitutions strange.Even then I wouldn't form an opinion on 8 minutes.It may be that the 8 minute run-out that Forte got was a bit political,we've signed the player on a 3 and a 1/2 year contract so not playing him at all last week might have seemed a bit odd.Whilst I quite enjoyed last week-ends game even with sticky stream in the second half,I personally thought that Guly was very poor and Barnard wasn't much better. Then again it has to be said that I'm not a big Barnard fan.
  4. Indeed, after the glowing reports that I heard about N'Guessan at Exeter I was really surprised that he didn't get a look in against Peterborough,chucked on to the bench to make way for some strange set up involving Guly and Ox.Then again although I'm probably in a minority of 1 again I personally think NA makes some pretty strange team selections at times.I do sometimes wonder if there's pressure on him to play certain players.
  5. why did we sign him then? You've got to give the lads a chance.
  6. why would we want Antonio anyway? The two lads we've signed recently are probably just as good.
  7. A bunch of silly schoolgirls all of them. If the club hadn't decided to make a big issue of it the 125th anniversary would have probably passed by with just a mention in a programme somewhere.I like to watch games and talk about the team but all the rest...well who gives a toss. NB If the club could be free of all the hangers on and Cortese as well that would suit me down to the ground.
  8. Fonte and Martin there you go. AP played Martin as did Wilkins. NA has decided,with the aid of Crosby I presume, that Martin is not yet good enough for the first team. It's pretty obvious that in any case possible "age and experience before class" is Adkins motto. With the signings of NGuessan and Forte the development group has been pushed off the substitutes bench completely.Gobern and Ox would have been the only home grown players in the 18 last Saturday.Our starting line up must have had an average age of about,what 27/28 and Ox is just 17.
  9. I think that by and large we have more than enough players in the first team group already.
  10. I thought it was Joe Murphy that we were supposed to be interested in anyway. No doubt Sc*nthorpe told us to p*ss right off when we offered them 30 bob.
  11. CMS on loan to a promotion rival ??? You have to be joking.
  12. must be a new record, 1 post and he (or she) slags off Alps.:D
  13. Most games?? Seaborne spends half of his time on the bench and is not preferred to Jaidi unless we have a few games in a short space of time or that the opposition have particularly potent and rapid strikers.The manager has to sort this out, look at most really successful sides the centre back pairing is very much a constant.
  14. But it's not a judgement in any way,it's a way of seeing the case.RL does lot of work that bring goals for others but he is not all that prolific in goals scored from open play this season that's all.At the end of the day the assertion was made that no-one remarked on it last season,what I'm saying is that I must have done because I always do.
  15. Although in defence of Davis you'd have to say that the stop he made from Boyd's effort cancels out the one he didn't make from Mackail Smith.If you invert those efforts few would have complained except that Boyd's effort was well struck and CMS's was a bit of a bobbler.
  16. I am very constant in this, I always divide goals scored into open play and other.I have even had numerous disputes over this on this very forum. A striker who scores 15 goals from open play cannot be compared to one who scores 7 penalties and 8 from open play. All goals count but individual tallies are doped by penalties.
  17. 6 or 7 penalties helps though.
  18. Probably would have cost too much even if we were interested. With 6 months left on his contract he'd probably want to be assured of playing at a higher level before he resigned anywhere.Our league position doesn't do us any favours on the player signing front.We may all firmly believe that we'll be in the NPC next season but the table now says maybe,maybe not.We have signed 2 fast forward players but for some reason we didn't use them from the start.
  19. Spot on,we are playing too far forward, does Fonte really need to go charging forward for every corner and free kick when we're 2-0 up away from home.If the forwards can't do their job get some new ones but we have to stop this gung-ho football or at least when we're winning away from home.
  20. MLT scored our first FA PL goal.We lost 3-1 to QPR
  21. not an advisable assertion on a pedant thread,really really not.
  22. Ridiculous decision. West Brom have no money and no talent so what's a bloke supposed to do; Bet they're amongst the smallest spenders in the EPL. If you want to win games then you have to spend money and pay excessive salaries.
  23. Posh score a lot of goals but we have just got to get our defensive set up right. We went gung ho yesterday which seemed to have worked but with at least 5 players with no defensive qualities whatsoever on the pitch we were always going to struggle if Posh got their act together. NA has to decide between Ox and Barnard or Ox and Guly because all 3 is a disaster waiting to happen.
  24. Seaborne just got roasted by a player of superior quality ,not even a cock up. I thought Davis might have done slightly better but CMS is a class act which we failed to tame. If the corner by Ox hadn't been ridiculously over-hit it might not even have happened that way.
  25. I think we have to do better than that. 15 points minimum.
