What changes are possible?? there aren't many other possibilities. We can't bat consistently and we can't bowl out middle order batsmen who come out to tonk and not give a sh*t.For that sort of batsman you need either genuine pace or genuine guile, won't find that with 2 month emergency contracts I'm afraid.

Celtic have never probably even heard of Jason Puncheon, Lambert maybe but they probably think he's still at Bristol Rovers. Unless of course they share an agent and he's shopping them around as a package deal.

Is there prize money?? I'm not at all sure that there is. Anyway AP was quite clear last saturday afternoon, strongest available side will be fielded against Southend, surely that's definite enough for anybody and there can be no discussion whatsoever. Usual 1st 11 with Morgan replaced by Antonio.

Perhaps the club has realised that all those extra games for the Cups and days out at Wembley have taken a heavy toll on some household budgets and are giving them a bit of time to recover before having to stump up £300 or so for a ST, because plenty will want to do that.

And we were a skinflint club because far too much football money was spent on non-football things, like Chairmen and Performance Directors and Sport's Science Advisors

that and too many mediocre players left behind by previous managers guzzling up the money pie as fast as we could bake it. Harry needs to be around good players, we didn't have too many of them.

probably can't get on with the cold damp weather.

doubt that, he didn't find out about Rupert interfering until it was too late. SCW was the turning point.

What's that for then, getting us relegated from the EPL?

No they didn't. As I've told you all many times Harry has a way of managing that needs to be left alone and not have too many questions asked about it. If Rupert had just stumped up the cash and let him get on with doing what he does best and faded into the background we'd probably still be in the EPL.

Hooper, Robinson, O'Donovan all have one thing in common, all goal jockeys with a very tasty looking goals/games ratio. Perhaps it's just an area that AP has identified as being primordial (presuming there's any truth in any of them of course) Hope it isn't just a palliative measure to compensate something nasty no longer in the woodshed .

And yet Lawrie feels that he needs to add his farthing's worth all the same. Once again he's said something when the best thing to do was say nothing. Still may be he got a free lunch out of it or something like that.

Brown gone for 81, still need to shift Mullaney pretty quickly though, he's got a batting average of nigh on 80, seems to be some sort of newby to the first class game, just 5 innings so far.

In fact it sounds like we're getting hammered again.

It's a 5 year plan (apparently) and we won the JPT and made the 5th round of the cup. Most would accept that as being completely adequate if no-one had banged on about higher things.Everything is clouded by continual statements about reaching the play-offs, they would have been a bonus but nothing more if the club management hadn't started on about them, virtually from the outset.

Expectation fuelled by constant going on by various members of the management and team about "top 2 finish" "playoffs are the absolute minimum", "we're not out of it yet" and so on and so forth.If they didn't want to build up expectation then they should have toned it down a bit.

I don't think he's a Lambert like player at all, more Antonio type but a bit more polished, very quick, pretty tricky apparently. Might be a perfect Lambert foil by the looks of it. Looks like he's pretty sharp around the box as well.

surely it should be ability challenged spackers

Lee Holmes to Norwich? would that be as well as Lambert and Lallana then? (that was on yesterday's totally made up rumour roundabout) Robinson scores a fair few goals though.

Oh right a "stopper" is a left back, to me a stopper is a central defender .

what would that be then in place of Seaborne? Too many players are what we don't need, we already have far too many anyway, just that half of them are crap.

He said that there would be no let up before last week's match as well. When you weaken your team then you send out a false message to your players and some of them think it's of no importance, like Lallana and perhaps Barnard last week. He can say what he wants, the players will probably do what they want as well,still it's only Sarfend.

Anyway it will all depend on what part (if any ) of his 18 months AP mortgaged to obtain the 2 million or so transfer funds in January. That is the real factor, not how close we came or how well we nearly did. If it was "if I give you 2 million funding you will guarantee a place in the play-offs or else" then it's case closed, any shades of grey will depend on what was agreed.

you are probably right, here (in theory)every position should be decided on qualification alone. Mind you you need a special diploma to be a street sweeper or a dustman. And work permits don't exist, if you can get a job you can probably get a residence permit.

perhaps in the UK, here it would be punished because it's supposed not to matter
