do you get special treatment then? Pay your fiver so you can wax lyrical about the Lazio game

I was only answering teh thread as i see it.I do know that there will now be a load of abuse, but there you go. As I say a poor bunch.NP would be close only for the reason the fans were united by him, but I for 1 am not convinced by his tenure. Had HR stayed and the fans kept behind him I suspect he would now have us back in the PL.

that post is not to me I know but the Reading game is not the only game where we have played well.For me we havent accumalated our fair share of points.A young team that is foming. The manager has to wise up quickly and put on experience to close the games out, for me I would have put on Wotton not Gillette or both and taken off perhaps AL as he is not a tackler, although he odes hold the ball well.

out of a poor bunch it would be GB.He at least got us to the play offs but none have shone in any glory.

IM Not saying he will be as good as shearer but i am happy to stand by my prediction he will become a good player.

that is correct and I hope he gets back soon

It depends how you look at it.BWP might be like his father a late developer and the last few games he has shown more of what we hope for.DMG I think is still only 19or 20 and so is still raw, but also has scored 5 league goals.

I think you are correct in a lot of that. I dont think it was overestimating but perhaps the most effective way of keeping us out of administration.It was not RL as far as Im aware who put on a youngster instead of the experienced Wotton when we were trying to hold on for a victory.His mental strength woud have been benificial IMO. Jan has only just realised that Perry should play and so he should hurry up and come to terms that with 10 minutes to go and 1 up you shut up shop and not stay open to the sucker punch.

I hold my hand up and was always doubtful that Shearer was that good after some of his poor finishinjg.Of course he was still learning his game and then went on.DMG and BWP are still learnoing and young enough to make the next level.The players I listed are not to my taste and Ormerod was a forward and his job was to score ,something he didnt do enough IMHO

I still stand by my assertion that DMG is going to be a very good player and many will eat their words.

seeing the goal I agree Gillette was slow to get to Tuguy.It was a poor goal to concede to have a player unmarked in the d

yes its amazing when we have had the pleasure of watching such clinical finishers as Dowie,Saul,Basham, Puttock, Heaney, Ormerod,Flash,and many more lethal goalscorers I cant bring myself to recall over the years

as long as we are up to date with cusoms and revenue we should be ok, at present I get the impression we are

exactly.

surely if the bank call in or reduce our overdraft then the directors will be forced to put us into administration.

I cant recall the goal that was Lallanas but Im just trying to be even handed.If DMG had the same stats as AL then we would be in deeper sh##. I dont want to erode any of the young players confidence and so wish for fans to see that both add to the team.

your life must be missing something if we are you heroes.I must admit you are not a bad judge in them though

it may be time to rest him for a few games.People knok DMG but he has scored quite a few goals but Lallana is short in that department.I want him to progress and he needs to learn to be more pro active where it matters

you are fast becoming a stalker. I dont like RL but am open minded enough to see the plan he wants the club to go forward.How's Crouchie is he up yet

Well your arrogance that fans only dislike RL are as bad as some of the things that have come from the man you dislike.

Thanks Windows.

I did say the fans at the game have been supportive. The root cause is of course lack of winning /relegation and our expectancy. It is classic Catch 22

what was the attendance? i cant find it anywhere

The problem with footbal compared to other businesses the fans/customers (as you put it) do make a diffeence to the companies/business/teams performance.If customers walked into the high street businesses everyday berating the employees you soon would get a disenchanted workforce. Many wont have it but the fans/customers make a massive difference.I would say that the fans at games are very supportive nad understanding but the players must feel the pressure of expectancy.

That is pertinent.I would from my standpoint like to see Jason played up front to help the young lads up there.It would be the most cost effective and simple way of beefing up the frontline without taking on more costs. I doubt that SJ would have scored 10 goals yet the same as the other 2 out on loan.In fact we only needed a goalscorer to have scored 5 to have got 5 or 6 more points, and so both routes could be correct.The safest way is to definately avoid administration and so not have the points penalty
