---------------------- Davis --------------------- Frazer ------- Martin ------- Fonte ------- Harding Butters -----Stephens -----Hammond ------Lallana -------------Lambert ------- Barnard ------------ Subs: Bart, Jaidi, Guly, Chaplow, Forte, Dickson, Connolly I'd give Jaidi a rest, especially seeing as their main threat is BWP who really isn't all that when it comes to strength and aerial threat. I'd drop Guly and Chaplow from Saturday and I think Forte is more of an impact player.

Bart in goal, he's the future. Defence looks alright, but I'd replace Jaidi and Seaborne. If Mills stays, would loan/sell Dickson. Midfield pretty good. Keep Stephens, replace Holmes and anyone else who leaves. Don't sign Guess. Up front Barnard and Lambert will be good, need at least 1 more. Nugent would be brilliant (on so many levels) if he'd take a wage cut.

What has Hammond done wrong in the 5 out of 6 games we've won since Morgan's injury?

I said it was impressive. Maybe Texas has a lot fewer stadiums in the 30-50 thousand seater ranges, I've no idea. They certainly seem to like their sports over there.

When I say realistic, I mean players we had half a chance of keeping if we'd made more of an effort. I'm not writing off Forte and Guess yet, I'm just saying I haven't seen anything close to Antonio's contribution so far.

It's important to remember there are 25 million people in Texas. It's not like having a load of 100,000 seater stadiums in Staffordshire or something. Still impressive though.

There's no point in raking either if you're just going to rake stuff into a hedge, 6 inches away from the path.

I was always slightly baffled by the signing of Dickson. We have Harding and Mills who are both very capable LB players and the team sheet comes pre-printed with Lallana at LM. The only way I can see him having a role next season is if we fail to go up and Donny sign Mills permanently. If we do go up, Mills could well be our first choice at LB. In midfield I just don't rate him. Even if Lallana is injured, I'd rather have someone else. Thoughts?

Oakley was class, not sure why he got slated really. He just needed an energetic player next to him doing the work. Wright was crap. Being played in a variety of possitions doesn't make you a utility player. I saw him play terribly at LB, RB, CM and RM on several occasions. Apparently he even played LM once, but I didn't see that. Telfer was a decent right sided player to have in the squad. Idiakez was old and knackered. At the time it looked like a good deal, but clearly the guy was crocked and never really did it on the few occasions he was fit. Pele was a quality holding player. Him and Guthrie were probably the best CM pairing we had under Burley. Viafara was good at running at defences and causing panic, but ultimately he was too much of a liability with his (lack of) passing. Prutton I thought was better than JV.

You know April fools is over at 12pm yeah? The fact that we lost on penalties is only half the story. You're missing the, 'only scraping into the play offs after winning our last 3 games of the season, despite spending more money than anyone except Sunderland,' bit. Would you be saying the same this season if we finished 6th and lost the play off semi to Bompey on pens?

I've got one of the council wombles wandering around outside my flat blowing leaves off the path with one of those petrol powered blowers. Seems like the most pointless exercise known to man. It stinks, it's noisy as f**k and it doesn't acheive anything. In half an hours' time, a light breeze will have blown through and the path will look exactly the same.

Euell definitely. He was always a donkey who somehow managed to save his reputation by putting in 5 decent performances in each of the 2 seasons he spent here. BWP too. I know he has scored a few this season, but I was glad to see the back of him and would much rather have Barnard. DMG really wasn't that good and £1m is well over the odds for him.

I'll pass on that one thanks. Think this video had been posted before, but it's quite good: The crowd size is pretty impressive, but then the yanks have always liked their college football games. Having said that, this is the state university of Wisconsin, which has a similar population to Greater London. It's not exactly Nottingham Trent against Bournemouth Polytech.

There are no '6 pointers' left, so every game is equally important. It's irrelevant when you get the points, it's the total at the end of the season that counts. In that respect the Dons game is no more or less important than the others.

I'm thinking players we could have realistically kept here, not people like Bale, Theo, Surman etc. GK - Richard Wright - Looked far more composed in his cameo than I've ever seen Kelvin look. RB - Wayne Thomas - Would have had to take a pay cut, but I doubt Donny are paying him billions. LB - Gregory Vignal - Again maybe would have needed a pay cut at a time we were broke, so a tad ambitious there. CB - Jan Paul Saeijs - I know Jaidi has been excellent this year, but Saeijs was a monster, with very little help from his team mates. CB - Matt Mills - I know he wanted to go, but if only Redknapp had recognised his tallent instead of signing Powell and Haijto, he probably would have stayed. RM - Michail Antonio - 10 times better than anything I've seen from Forte or Guess. CM - Mario Licka - Would have been a decent, relatively cheap option under Poortaloo/WTF CM - Matt Oakley - Yes, this one's been done to death, but he was far more deserving of the 2 year deal we gave Wright. LM - Rudi Skacel - As with Mills, he wanted to leave, but if he hadn't been messed around playing LB I reckon he'd have stayed and tore L1 a new one. ST - Papa Waigo - Apparently wages/transfer fee was the stumbling block. ST - Marian Pahars - I know he was crocked, but would have been a great option off the bench on a pay as you play.

Half of it isn't even entertainment, it's just silly. I still watch it because occasionally they produce a genuinely entertain and/or informing article.

For me that was the second best season I've seen after last season. At the moment it's kind of on par with this season in terms of quality that I've seen. This season the results have been better, but against crapper opposition with a lot of 'grinders' against tough teams. That Brum game was a highligh, but I think I aged about 25 years in injury time. DJ Campbell's looping header at the end... 'heart in mouth' doesn't come close to describing it. Those 3 goals in 6 minutes were just mental. Remember being in block 2, seeing Skacel hit that shot and thinking, "he's made a f**king mess of that" only to see it spoon up over Maik Taylor and into the corner of the net. The 6-0 at Wolves was a cracker too. Wasn't there, but remember watching the SSN live feed keep getting better and better.

It's a perfectly reasonable statement really. I'm sure everyone appreciates Killers contribution, but that was 7 years ago. 35 year olds who've spent 7 years in teh physio room don't suddenly start playing 30 games of competitive football every season. Killer is the past. Move on.

I thought the Tesla tests were some of the more interesting articles on the show. One of the few things they've done recently which was genuinely interesting and informative. Even when they're onto a good idea, like in the last series when they tried using farm vehicles for snow clearance, they ruin it with slapstick idiocy.

In the good old days, these threads would have been locked and the OP would have been taken out, shot and possibly sodomised.

Depends entirely on how quickly you think you can get a job. Without knowing you and what qualifications you have, background etc. it's impossible for anyone on here to really give an accurate answer.
