Precisely. Hopefully he makes an appearance before the end of the season and kicks on in preseason, shows people what hes made of!

Hope not! Hopefully he'l be determined enough to see it as an oppurtunity to prove why he should be in the first team.

Flawed logic perhaps but he was fancied by Liverpool and over decent sides across Europe, has a good number of caps as a young player for a decent national side ... must be something to the lad even if he's yet to show it. I maintain it's too early to really evaluate him until, perhaps, january next year. If, after a full pre season etc, he still hasnt made the side and put in some decent shows then pitchforks out

Seems bizarre that they didnt, as mentioned above, link games like they have in previous seasons. To be honest I was happy to go to S****horpe to get tickets to see Portsmouth, was actually a good day out that one! Dismayed the points system has been so, frankly, pointless this season and genuinely gutted for those who missed out for the Stoke game. Fortunately being a student working from home for a while spending most of my morning online trying to get tickets was no issue - sure plenty of other folk who sat through the dross that was Wigan, Sunderland or the fa cup hammering from Chelsea should have had a realistic shot at getting tickets for this one!

Dont think you'r jumping the gun a touch ..?

I dont know when/if its ever been used. I've racked up plenty of points but been competing with everyone else on general sale all season. Only thing different today is they didnt allow new accounts to be set up but that certainly doesnt take into account priority as anyone could have an account without ever having purchased tickets ...

Im all sorted, helpful hint, avoid using firefox. First time its ever not worked but spent nearly an hour using that with no luck, intenet explorer five minutes, sorted.

So frustrating! Keep getting to the part where you select how many tickets you want, I do that, then it takes me straight back to the previous page! maddening!

Virginmedia decides this morning is the time to not work, fibre optic broadband my arse! On the ticket bit now but it keeps taking me backwards! :/ Question, to anybody who's having similar problems, the ten minute window you get, does it expire if the website isnt working?!?

Serious lack of poetry for me from Poch. Adkins was vague but I used to love his press conferences and thought he was often vague for a reason. Not always too much info what on one hand sucks but keeps other teams guessing about injuries etc etc ..

Thanks for the reply, interesting to have such a wide ranging role! Straight up managers and chairmen seems to be going out of fashion, with us too it must be said. Hope to scouts keep doing the good work for you guys! Obviously not at our expense of course

Not a bad return on either, well worth a couple of quid for the pessimists out there! Money where your mouth is lads

Question, was Ashworth responsible for much of your transfer policy and, if so, has he been replaced? I only ask as WBA have found some real bargains in the last few seasons and, depending on if they can continue this pattern, I think it's fair to say you could continue to make steady progress or drop back into mid table obscurity for a few seasons (by no means a bad thing! bite your arm off for that) ...

Its the party line, the press hate us we hate them, come on surely we know this by now!

Genuine tip for those still concerned we'l go down, stick a pound or two on it with any bookie that'l give you odds! The odds will be v long if even on show and, if you'r proved correct, your pessimism will be rewarded!

Good point but he did give him a chance at the weekend and, although a v short cameo, looked decent. Think he'l get a few more chances before the end of the season to prove himself to MP, might get a pre season too, if the manager has faith he can get more from him ...

Or just buy them online?

Spot on. Would ne a nice feature and cant hurt to have a few links with other clubs, away day info etc etc ..

I cant name names but I have heard plenty of pundits being very positive about him. Nope I think you'r right we would have hoped for more but it's still early days yet for him AND mayuka. See how both are looking come this time next year then might be time to make full asessments.

Good shout. Depending on who we bring in Mayuka out on loan may not be the worst shout, maybe for six months with recall option to somebody in the championship to keep him learning the english game, must be somebody who'd fancy taking a punt on him!

If Chambers is ready for prem football ok but surely, should he want it, giving Richardson a short extension might be worthwhile? Cork CAN play rb fairly well but he is wasted there for me, too important in the middle of the park.

Dont disagree with too much of that though Mayuka surely is worth keeping for longer and I still rate Richardson, cant think oh him doing much wrong when called upon this season and could still do a job for sure.

They are here on merit. Dont like this "belong" thing, kind of suggests a clubs history etc illustrates where they should be in the league, its that kind of thinking that keeps liverpool fans in delusional bubbles and I hope our fans can avoid such things especially considerring our recent touch with near extinction!

Any idea why? The club website had them as sold out. Were these home tickets, purposefully segregated ones, held back for some reason? Bizarre ...
