well he came on last night and certainly made a big dfference.A bit much to ask him to score a load of goals though.

No I didnt expect us to be superb. I did expect us to be solid and have some imagination,we did play some neat football first half but only in the centre of the pitch. Is it ok for players to look half interested and arrogant to believe that it would be easy? I hold no blame to AP, he has had little time to do anything, but I doubt he will be very happy and will weild a big stick.

The first was from a free kick and the centre forward flicked on the cross, the second from a corner, the 3rd from the defence opened up and a midfield runner took the ball on to score.Theor 4th a cross that the cf headed in again and the 5th a shot from about 15 yards after a bit of a scramble.

Bungle, so people at the game who wish to give a heads up on the performance should gloss over the fract that we were totally outplayed by a more skillful and hungrier outfit.Yes Rasiak didnt play (that would have made not an ounce of difference as Stern worked harder than he would have) KD missing would have stopped 2 of the goals in the first half.He wouldnt have stopped al;l the pressure we were under due to an ineffectual experienced centre midfield. The9 is right a lot of those players are on the fringes, but if asked to put a side out from that squad last night would you expect to let 5 in? Im not pannicking but pointing out that we have a lack of decent players in important areas and AP will Im sure fill those gaps. If you had gone and watched you may well have been as disillusioned as myself. Roll on saturday when we will field our stronger side and perhaps get a better performance.I was concerned about Lloyds lack of form in the last 2 games as he was a shining light last season. Perry although in a defence that let in 5 was powerless as Lancashire was not up to marking their forward who won everything and scored ahattrick.Mills is going to be a fine player, there in the right place again to score

Wotton penalty Paterson Mills Stern

That is fair, but it is the lack of a midfield, with no guile or energy. Pulis played in midfield with Gobern Wotton and Thomson. Gillette was in the stands with Wayne Thomas. Im not pretending we were full strength but Salisbury bossed the game except for 20 minutes in the second half. It cannot be good for morale. Anyway we will improve nad htis can be ofrgotten

Im sure they will. We havent got much time to turn it around, if we dont start well i wont want to try and play catch up with 15 points adrift after 3-4 games

well after tonights turnout they will not be long threads

back from the game and it was pathetic all round.Less than 20 in the away fans section! I dont like knocking the players but Poke is not /will not be a L1 standard keeper, lancashire was out fought and jumped by Salisburys Robbie matthews (scored hattrick) 3 down half time and could have been more.We had no attempts on target first half.Although we did miss 2 sitters both missing the goal.Saga will not score many , Stern looked full of effort and was a plus on the night.Perry Mills Paterson and Stern the only players who can hold their heads up IMO. Wotton tried but poor, Gobern not in it, Thomson at his level, even Lloyd was not up to it tonight. Henderson on the touchline first half AP out with him in the second where we started to look more up for it, especially when Paterson came on for the ineffectual Saga. All of a sudden hustle and bustle helping Stern.A fortunate pen, by Wotton pulled 1 back, then Paterson before another high ball gave salisbury another 2 goal lead. Mills and Stern then brought us back to 4 all before Rob Sinclair netted the winner.We didnt look like scoring another. Forecast did ok second half but the defence is appalling. The acadamy players came on for the last few minutes so dont have any illusions that we were mainly a youth side on the night. It was comical, and salisbury deserved their win. I saw us play here last season under Jan and we looked a lot better then with a lot of kids, a long hard scary ride if things dont improve for us Im afraid.

oh dear

this isnt Facebook Mike. Your status is you are f#####g off on holiday i assume. Thanks a bunch, have a nice day.

so who is the UAE player you are going to sign?

I noticed on a thread we were supposed to have made a tenner bet that Blackpool would finish above us.I do not remember the bet but will honour it.Instead of the NSPCC I gave 10 to Naomi House , as they lost a lot of money to the Iclandic banks.I hope that is Ok?

I agree and Mr Lebherr has the luxury of the fans not questioning his decisions. Not that RL or ML has any similarity in investing etc but if RL had done this move there would be outrage. I myself am very happy, I have put in much time into the club but never received a complimentary of any kind in 40 years of support.I should thin that ex players should feel the privilage they had of being a hero and still gert adulation, to then expect the fans to subsidise them still is not on.As for the directors who ALL have played their part in ruining the club without exception, they deserve nothing IMO

I did wonder why it said he was new chairman, it didnt say he was new owner.A bit odd compared to other takeovers and wording of such.Timedelaying factor perhaps to keep bank at bay as they try to source money?

Everything

Oh I see what you did there MB, top stuff.

looks like Duncan's source has led him a dance.

Not in his case MB.

you came on statung their were rumours about your future and made out they were not neccessarily good for you

Yep, his new bentley will look good in the Salisbury car park.

David Armstrong will be having a rant about this I suspect.Lol I often wonder when you hear about all the free tickets being given out by staff, how doe the club ever expect to make any money if there are so many freebies.I assume it will be done like a consultancy basis, if an explayer is asked to give a talk in the lounges, they will be paid an agreed fee. I expect quite a few noses wil be put out of joint. I saw a fan the other day and said will you be going again this seaon, and he said yes as long as i still get my complimentaries! Is he a fan or not in your opinion?

well yet another bit of proof that we were done over, the lino does not have the authority to give permission for the sub to go back on it has to be the ref...that's it rematch result null nad void in fact it should be awarded to my valiant team. When the DVD comes out we will get definitive proof although Doctor Granty no doubt is editing it, hence the time it is taking to get it done. It took less time for Terry Waite to be released as it has the Forum match DVD

Al Fahim eyes first Emirati Premier League player. interesting.

We are, as me and misses
