so you advocate that you just stand still then and don't invest? It was always obvious that the kids would burn out and need replacing come the winter - TM said so himself before the slump.

8 below par players on frees and loans? Jones was bought in May having come to us at the end of March (as was Vlad) - season was over by the time we'd spent money. Invest whilst you're ahead - basic business sense really. You think we'll get a better opportunity to go up like we had last January...

yes it is...cheers

You're missing the point! We were top at Xmas. If SISU wanted us to go up they would have invested for long term gain...they won't ever get a better opportunity than last year

All frees, loans or using the wage budget! £500,000 spent on actual transfers for good decent players (our players) would have given us quality and a boost within the squad

Did we spend money on transfers in that window then?

All frees - Hunt, Henderson, Savage?

I'm afraid thats where we are - SISU showed their hand last January. Top of the table near Xmas and the January transfer window about to open. A £500,000 investment tops would have secured us a new CF, CM and CB - we'd have been right up there...that wasn't in SISUs plan though was it.

Why would SISU want to sack him? It doesn't fit into their plans for us to be promoted! SISU don't want to be paying extra wages etc... and all that goes with being in The Championship. They're completely happy with where we are at the moment whilst their court cases drag on. By all means sack...

ask our defence who they'd have more confidence in...............

I think Peterborough are the team to watch out for!

Yes - oh the irony of this! Bitching about our loans yet blaming defeat on the fact Charlton recalled their loanee!!! *snigger

The thing is we have no alternative but to use the loan system. There are two transfer windows. Outside of these windows we can only get players in on loan or the players that are out of contract (players that nobody want for a reason). At the start of the season we had Armstrong and Murphy in...

Didn't understand his substitution tonight. We took two experienced players off and replaced them with kids. I could understand the Cole one because he's way off the pace but I'd have stuck Jim in the hole behind the striker just for his energy and pressing

I know Mowbray is unsure about Jim because he runs around like a headless chicken at times and doesn't stick to his instructions most of the time, i.e. staybout wide...but for me when he's not on the pitch we are not as dynamic as a side BOTH ends of the pitch. He constantly presses the...

...because he's not the answer

Rubbish! We were 2-0 up with 5 mins to go. Nothing to do with Joe Cole or what sub's remained. We had a good solid side out there that should of seen the game out no matter what.

...apart from the clean sheet we kept midweek without him in the side ;)

Yes it is - gary_ccfcforever He's been away with England I think - probably try pinging him a PM...I know he's running one to Scunny

Is he out for 2 months too or are Sky getting him confused with Maddison?
