Totally agree with that. I would start him ahead of Barnard next week unless he saves him for the JPT of course.

Seabourne and Fonte appear to be the long term partnership and as such its important for them to have games together. Fonte is class and Seabourne looked good today, I liked the look of him. Ostmebor looks ok, fairly pacey and put in a couple of decent crosses. I prefer Murty personally when fit but thats no slight on Osty ! Barnard - umm, inaffective today, Papa definitely changed the game, but he does work hard and once he gets settled in I think he will come good although again, when fit, I would have Connolly ahead of him.

Last signing Can play central midfield too. Job done

They would have announced it mid day yesterday if that was the case I would have thought. They did with Barnard.

Puncheon today, he'll be on Monday IMHO.

Every winger who has ever played professional football over hits a cross or puts it in the crowd from time to time never mind one who is 19 and was playing non league football 12 months ago. Lets see what hes like in a couple of years time shall we ?

Until that window slams shut lets wait and see. Puncheon is not a central midfield player and AP says he wants a replacement for Mellis who, I believe, played central midfield. Wether its Stock or A.N.Other I wouldnt rule out another signing before the 1 February regardless of us getting Puncheon or not.

Quite surprised Morgan is only on the bench considering we went to the trouble of an appeal !

So basically, assuming the Poopey game is live on tv we will have made almost a half a million from prize money and tv alone, before adding gate receipts. As has been suggested that is a lot of money for League 1 teams and has paid for Barnard and Seabourne with change left over

You do mean BREAD and butter dont you Duncan ? Bed and Skates should never be in the same sentence as far as I can see

Dont you think its a good plan for the manager to play it down then ? Keep the players heads clear and focused on the next game etc then when we get to 10 Feb and Poopey are the next game then build the players up and make sure they are aware how important it is ? Personally I'm glad he thinks like that, or should I say I'm glad he makes it look like he thinks that !

JPT - i want to go to Wembley.

They are two leagues above us, for the moment, so on paper they should win...... but of course football is played on grass not paper. The players will not take their eye off the ball for the league or JPT game. They are professionals, there are no local born players so they will not get as excited as we are. AP will make sure they take each game as it comes BUT you can be sure as soon as the MK Dons game has finished he will be making sure each and every one of those players knows how important a victory would be to us, the fans who have given them such great backing this season. Leave it to AP

Unlike a certain football club on the South Coast

Add the prize money for getting past the tie and it pays his wages for a fair while too

Well said Sir ! Thanks to the efforts of players, coaches, manager and new owners I have fallen in love with this club all over again. If people want to get picky wait until we are knocking on the door of the Champions League, not 6 months into a 5 year plan to get back to the Premiership !

No, they lost 1-0 today.

Really ? So who was that chasing the ball down in the last 25 minutes and inter changing with Mills when we attacked down the left side then ? He was still working his socks off well after the 65 minute mark.

Because we were the first tie out of the hat in the last round. The winning team takes the number of the tie.

After seeing him a few times this season look less than impressive, to say the least, today I thought he was fantastic. Looked good going forward and defended pretty well. The link up with Holmes, especially second half, loos very promising.

Steady on

Yeah cos players going over to thank 3000 fans for travelling all that way on a Wednesday night in January is totally OTT isn't it ? What a pillock - if he is that desperate its pretty sad.

He really should include the embarassing **** with the bell

James does not miss any games, for the umpteenth time the bookings tally is now 10. After years of lacking the winning mentality the players are showing a desire to win, ok some of the niggles are needless but they need to channel the winning mentality which, lets face it, is a learning curve for us and them !
