  1. I know you wont Derry, but how can Lowe stop that rumopur.He's not allowed to say anything as the supporters dont want him to talk and anyway if he did they wouildnt believe it.It is just another nonsense rumour, and there is no way a player of that age would be told he was a definite starter, I understand some ofthe kids on here believing it but not the more mature posters.
  2. Derry you dont have favourites but you do seem to get campaigns up in your head against some. Lets see how this plays out, I believe that DMG will become a very good player you dont. Time will tell. DMG is not a favourite of mine in fact I havent a favourite player. I stand up for players I believe who are wrongfully treated it was KD up to recently with you and now it seems we will have our friendly exchanges on DMG.If he has a poor game I will agree but last night he was not our worst.
  3. Hold on McKenzie wasnt being marked by DMG at set pieces, we were playing 4 up front for the 4th, the first was a cross that a fullback should cover not a wide midfielder.
  4. I would suggest we get on the backs of none of then as in the long term we are the ones who get hurt most, they can move on. I am critical of Drew from last night but wont get on his back
  5. UMP your quote about 'and first on the team sheet ' is misleading IMO. You would no doubt hear the same thing, especially if those people were naive enough to believe it. it is absolute nonsense IMO and another of the fairy tales that grow up on these sites.It is also a useful way to subliminly beat RL. DMG will be become a far better player than the ones you stated and when he puts his chances away as he grows then you will perhaps be more tolerant.Forget not he is not playing in his natural position as is James
  6. Derry you are making statements that you and I dont know the true facts.From what I have seen Jan has been ruthless to players if they dont do as they are assigned. BWP and Dyer prime examples, even Pekhart the other day. The passing issue you can tag at many of our players, do not tell me the lallana and Surman did not do as much if not more last night.Self indulgent was to aimed at Drew Imo yesterday, do you recall Robertson wanting to take the free kick but drew not letting him and shooting into row z?
  7. So yuo would start with 4 up front. The system didnt work because o ur kids are not strong e nough to bully the defence and we play intricate football. 10 games have gone and we are not languishing in the bottom cut adrift as many said we would be and relegated by christmas FFS. I only want us to stay upo this season , and then next push on. We need to hold our nerve.
  8. Hold on there is no way DMG can be blamed for either of Tabbs goals.This is taking things too far. Who was picking up Mckenzie for the second or the the midfielder who broke through before halftime in the middle? Get it real the first was a great run and the ball curled just right for Tabb as it looked it was Mills ball until it did.
  9. Well if you want us to spiral down then get on the backs of 19-22 year olds who have been thrust in to the first team a bit before they are ready due to financial circumstances.
  10. Different type of players and both will make very good footballers. I dont see a bad attitude and that is something that I do look for.
  11. I think you could well be right.Reading will be hell of a test.
  12. we started slowly and then started to control a bit of posession and then Cov got a goal from nothing.Aided by some poor lino and ref decisions.I only saw it on tv but the coverage was appalling we didnt get a chance to see a rerun of Bests shopt that hit the post and he looked miles offside. We were poor in the last third and until Jan took the gamble we were toothless. The change made a massive difference and had Surmans flick gone in or DMG 1 on 1 been put away things would have been interesting.As I put in another thread I was annoyed with Surmans greediness when others were better placed and he shot instead of picking out a player.TV cameras clouded his judgement.Being the star player to nowdown the pecking order may havbe a bit to do with it.
  13. 'it was said' come on Hac dont make a qute like that mean it is 100% correct. I would more than likely expect he was told that the older players were going and he would be up the pecking order, not guarenteed to play.
  14. I beleive DMG will become a vvery good player. Like Lallana he gets into some great positions with tremendous skill, yes he does fluff chances butr he is only young and will learn. We cannot afford to get on players backs and he is doing ok. As for Drew he was more greedy than DMG last night.
  15. When Hammil was here there were many fansd who questioned why he wasnt playing and were adamant he was class. You may not have thought he was good all along but I did.I was realistic to think that keepers make mistakes and some fans couldnt see through that and wanted someone to blame. The professional people whose job depended on their decisions thought the same, so who is right. It is an impossible to answer.I felt KD made save point winning saves and that more tha made up for the 2 holwers. Put it this way, Lallana missed a sitter against Blackpool that probably cost us the game.We forgave him that, but did fans come on and say drop him because of that clanger? wheras KD did let goals that cost us points but fans were clamouring to get him dropped.It is inconsistant and please do not tell me it is different.A player missing a pen or an open goal counts the same as a keeper letting a ball go through his legs
  16. I think we are aiming at the wrong person Surman was outrageous in his greedy attitude, he took freekicks and shots at the expense of putting playes in better positions.
  17. I was Neil Armstrongs body double, he was unwell and so I had to be the first man on the moon. I am the lead of the remake of the Invisible man
  18. as I put on the other thread Ashley Cole took horrendous stick but Hr said nothing.he went and had a hissy fit about his treatment at Villa and it worked fans have left him alone since and as he knows Sol is so sensitive he is trying it again as he is likely to disappear again any time soon. Get his own house in order and then Id agree but until then he should shut up
  19. you just cant help yourself can you Alps?
  20. and what is wrong in re igniting talent that may be lost to football. We are not in the position to afford players who have developed well and if a few turn out I say well done to the club.On the other hand there will always be those so poisoned to to new ideas that they would be modern day Luddites.
  21. fingers crossed its not Keven Bond
  22. do you think that the club are trying to do something similar to what GH is doing in his acadamy.Finding players who were likely to be top players but lost their way and might mature later?
  23. Thanks, as much as I havent rated lc I do respect that he is an true fan and did things as he thought were best.
  24. yes but if LC paid £1 a share and Wilde 60p their ultimate losses are different. Would LC be prepared to lose 75% of his money to sell the club or would he hold out for more?
  25. Of the 2 Gemma is the best to my eyes. I would prefer some of the other Hollyoaks girls Sarah Dunn being a nice one and I would love to get in the back of Mercedes.
