I thought foot was the next big thing ??

I expect MLG will let us all know soon

I thought that lol

What about Lloyd Foot ? The centre half (holder spooner or hogan wallace or something) and Jake sinclair ? Those three have been talked about as being the next big thing ? are they too young still ? Anyway, great great news IMO

Unfortunately he has become used to a gravy train that is no longer free. Thats the part many find sad I am afraid

I usually agree with most of what Chez says anyways, but yeah I agree again that really and truelly we can't have two ball playing CB's, we need a decent, ugly, solid no nonsense man. As for Martin I just don't know, Adkins must rate him, and Martin is happy enough by all accounts. After all we declined a bid from West Ham. I just don't think he is thatugly stopper we need at the moment, although ultimately I think he is better than Seaborne.

Oh look you lost another arguement and are now changing your original one to try and bend it around your agenda, strange that. Besides, I said at the start of the season we should worry about our lack of cover upfront more than anything else, Guly did well to assess these fears but is not an out an out striker. Its a shame, I don't doubt that we attempted to get someone in, and it must have been difficult convincing someone of the required ability they MAY be playing second fiddle to Lambert and Barnard. I just worry about Connolly, it is IMO just a matter of minutes until he is injured again and I worry about his impact, don't get me wrong, he was great at the weekend but then absolutely dire against Plymouth earlier in the season.

If we had Beattie back I am afraid he will be shown up to be the lacking player he was even back then. Besides, we have Lambert already and we are hardly playing to his strengths by smashing balls into the box. There is a reason Beatts was kak at Everton, Rangers and Blackpool in the fact that he needs other players to work FOR him and have balls into the box constantly. IMO anyways

They say it takes around 2-4 weeks however when i sent off for a new one as I had lost the old one (although later found it !!! ) it came back within a few days.

IMO he has already gone. FWIW, and it is only IMO i admire your optimism MLG, but in reality, Cortese can only bat away so many offers and put up so much of a defence, until that time that Chambo turns around and says enough is enough (if he hasn't already) Great player, top top potential (yes he IS better than the technically lacking Walcott) but unfortunately he came through at the wrong time a la Walcott and Bale.

Either a massive chinese takeaway. Starters - Prawn toast, Barbecue Ribs, Crispy Duck, Prawn Wontons, Satay chicken. Mains - Honey Roast Pork, Catonese Roast Duck, Beef in Black bean sauce, Sweet and sour chicken, Lamb Chinese Curry. Or Garlic, Rosemary and Red Wine Lamb, roast spuds, honey glazed parsnips, cauliflower puree, asparagus, Broccoli, Yorkies, pigs in blankets, sage and cranberry stuffing. Both followed with an Eton Mess and a few Jonnie Walker Blue labels on the rocks.

NanaNAAIIII

Unfortunately we have managed to find injuries and players off form at exactly the wrong time !!!

Naughton won't be, not with Walker having such a great season as well at Villa, they are a little blessed with RB's at the moment. Signing players that have been relegated is not so much a bad thing as long as you can keep a balance in so much that you don't populate the team with them. Besides, hopefully IF we get promoted that would help to instill a new optimism, aswell as Adkins guidance.

Nick Montgomery. Darius Henderson or Billy Sharp. Bradley Orr ?? Eardley ?? Jordan Spence ? Perhaps Ian Evatt ? CB ?

Two similar IMO Look at every good defensive pairing and you will have an out and out ball winner and an intelligent ball playing centre half. Ferdinand & Vidic, Terry & Carvalho, Jaidi & Fonte. We need a like for like IMO. As i said previous. Morgan and Darren Moore were both ugly players but very effective defensively for their respected sides.

I don't know exactly who, part of me is saying Middlesborough and the other is saying WBA, not sure who though. Edit - West Brom

Surely not. Surely he has learnt his lesson by now ??

Davis Richardson Jaidi Fonte Dickson Chaplow Stephens Hammond Lallana Guly Lambert Swap Lallana for N'Guessan if necessary.

Play 4-4-1-1 with ging gang just behind Lambert ?? Either that or as you say play perhaps a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2. Just no more of the f*cking diamond.

Don't think we stand much hope of landing Dawson. Besides, we need a mean, ball winning first knock centre half IMO. Someone like a younger Jaidi, Morgan and Moore. All good defenders that where well needed during their clubs respective promotion campaign.

Ron Davies Through my fathers side. Weird one that.

Pay for a decent Arena Topgun, I have two quality keepers, one supernatural and the other outstanding. I may sell one at the end of the season but not yet. IMO you need a whole season to get promoted, if you are chasing half way through its worth saving up for next year.

Just found out I am related to the one and only big Ron. Woop woop. They kept that one quiet !!

Well done Nige, nursing a team carrying injuries, weight of expectation and out of form players and guiding them to the finish line. We pulled one out of the bag today, thanks christ.
