Kilbane to me is a decent squad player who can cover several positions if needed. My main problem with him is as captain he should be leading by example yet today he was constantly wayward with his passes and let players walk past him while at LB so what kind of example is he setting for the...

I didnt think it changed the tempo of our players but pretty much gave them a free goal which meant to win we always had to score 2 (didnt get a C in maths for nothing :p). Saying that though we did have ample time to score those 2 and didnt help ourselves by playing poor for the most part but...

Bad luck and dodgey decisions aren't an excuse (unless the ref gives 10 penalties against you and sends off half your team - then you may have a point) but still the ref today and also at Stevenage were poor. I hate it when people try to justify the bad decisions saying they are only human, 1 or...

We are just going through the life cycle of football. There are always winners and losers, we were winners for 30+ years in the top flight while other teams were down in the leagues, now we are down with teams like wigan, blackpool, swansea (all who probably looked at Cov with envy for all those...

It will work one of two ways either he is awful and we sack him sometime in the next 12 months costing us a bomb or he will be amazing, get us promoted at least once and SISU will wait till the last minute to offer a new contract by that time he would have already gone to Brum or another...

All is not lost because when we lose tonight we will only be 2 points from safety so still a chance of staying up...wait what league are we in again?

It's the frustration of not just poor results but poor performances. Take the Bury game for example. We saw a great first half and there seemed to be an air of positivity for once and fair play to the players as they seemed to be finally playing as a team and working hard. There was no booing at...

Me and my mate (both ST holders) are going. Was unsure about going at first but when they announced the prices it was hard to resist. I think if they used similar logic for league games (dropping the price of a 'normal' ticket while in league 1) then it might persuade a few more people who were...

Went to see Liverpool v Arsenal with a mate who supports Liverpool (don't worry my blood still runs sky blue) and have to say was very impressed with Arsenal. I hope they do play their younsters otherwise it might be a heavy defeat although they were helped today by a shocking Liverpool team...

Correct decision for me. I think it was worth giving him a few games in League 1 to see if he could improve against lower opposition but those who have been to at least 1 game will know we still dont seem that bothered as a team for more than a half and i think a lot (although not all) of it...

I'm not sure fitness is the problem, rather the desire from the players to keep playing to their best and closing out games. Most of the players (especially Mcdonald, Baker and Kilbane) just seemed to give up in the second half and suprise, suprise we conceded two goals. Somehow we need to get...

Thanks Stupot ;) Malaga - 5 - kept winning headers (other than for their goal) but most of the time he headed up rather than away (as happened before wood conceded the penalty). Also seems to struggle with positions as is often backtracking and trying to keep up with the striker who has got the...

Truly was a game of two halves but thought it was the penalty that was our main downfall (oh and Brown:facepalm:). Without the pen i dont think Bury would have scored 2 and therefore even though we were poor in the second half i think we would have held on. Anyway this is how i thought the...

He has been a bit hit and miss in his first 2 games and i think he is going to develop into a good CB however I dont think having Brown next to him is helping his cause

Out of the two home games i have watched so far, he has been the one who has impressed me the most. Great control and skill, good pass and wonderful shot as displayed today. Think we really have a gem with Barton and hope he continues to impress

i would say at fault for two goals already this season (sheff u and 2nd Bury goal). shocking control and first touch and just looks completely out of place on a football field. Amazing to think Man U have brought this kid up????? If he plays right back this season again i think i might scream

Even if it ends in a draw, we are just 2 points behind the leaders ;)

If we are to push for promotion (our aim but not a guarentee) then we need to be looking at these games as winnable. It's not like in the championship where we were facing relegation but a couple wins (in 5 or so games) would save us as those around us wouldnt get many point. At the top, most...

My guess would be SISU realised they would really struggle financially once relegated and obviously had to look at ways of cutting costs. One way is the wage bill which looks to have been reduced but you would hope they also realised they needed a team to get us back into the Championship where...

The thing is when do you realistically cut off past honours compared to how big the club is now? I think part of the OP was saying that other teams havent won big competitions for well over 50-100 years and so can they really be counted? The same though can be said about our cup win 25 years ago...
