Against Boro he played as a 1 against 1 striker which is BTA's strong asset. Against Sunderland two blocks of four where his pace is negated. Lampard needs to decide how we play. We have two good wingers and strikers who are better running onto the ball or playing counter attacking football.

They have to perform on loan and Howley didn't. Burroughs appeared to be doing well at Lincoln then he had the car crash and has been poor since.

Prices need to go up if we want to just stay still as wages wise. NI has gone up and minimum wage for some staff. We need to stay competitive. Appears Wrexham and Birmingham may be paying stupid wages for average players. Lets hope so.

Firstly, we had a load of money last year from Vic and Gus. May get a further windfall but certainly not as much. We have saleable assets that may weaken not strengthen the team. Everyone is up for grabs if the price is right. MVE or Rudoni would be difficult to replace. JDS has been brilliant...

Absolutely, a great attacking side will always be remembered better than a miserabilist defensive sides like Burnley. Effective but boring. Celtic winning the European Cup final was brilliant example.

If we don't get a rich owner in the next few years. then there is a strong possibility we will fall away and not be challenging. Prefer the Championship. Better atmosphere better games but money rules and TV money rules most.

All the non-Sunderland commentators said Coventry were the better side and deserved to win and yes we were unlucky. You won the tie because we made two ridiculous errors in the first leg not the way you set up. Twice the ball bounced badly for Rudoni from a few yards out. Haji had a really poor...

Can't agree with that. Every club is a stepping stone and we always were. I would say that Frank's choice of tactics does not favour Wright or Simms and they may leave as a result. It is well documented that we have a brilliant dressing room camaraderie. Any player or manager will go higher...

Would take Doyle any day but don't think we can afford him.

We went on our brilliant run when we had injuries and had to adapt to a more defensive game. I am not advocating a back 5 but our wing/full backs are always exposed with Frank's first choice wingers set up. MVE, JDS or Bidders always left isolated so this Granada chap (if true) needs to be...

I think Sheaf is not fully fit yet after a bad injury.

It's Haji Wright's turn for the attention span of a gnat posters. He was well below his best for the play off games, but that does not mean he is shit or not trying. Just off form. It was Eccles last week who was brilliant when he came on before his unfortunate injury.

Thought ultimately injuries screwed us. Dovin changed our form when he settled down. Haji, EMC, Eccles and Asante took an age to come back and Haji is still looking to get his form back. Torp is missed and Thomas was limping at the end so not fully fit.

Nev wrote some comments on GMK criticising McGinnity who said he was going to sue. Such a great way to treat the fans. Like if people on here said, for example, King is dodgy and it ending up in court. Sure someone will remember the exact details of what was printed. My further gripe was Adam...

Don't think so looking at replay.

We got both of them to late in their careers. As younger chaps I think we could have really developed them.

McGinnity, arguably the worst guy we had in charge, only followed closely by Robinson. t McGinnity threatening to sue one of our biggest fans and one of the creators of GMK, Neville Haddesley. Reid, a royally shit manager for us. Sunderland get massive gates and qualifies them as a big club. We...

Remember the geniuses who said Vik and Gus weren't good enough. Can't think of a player in the last 8 years who hasn't been written off on here. Eventually the penny is going to drop that football now more than ever is a squad game. Eccles has never let us down. He played hell of a lot of...

What do you take from a match like that? Collins distribution is better than Wilson but the mistakes have lost him his place. Dovin has made some worldies when one on one. Would he have saved either Sunderland goal? (see his Leeds stops). MVE great going forward, lucky when he missed the header...

We have been pants away from home for a while now. Sunderland big favourites to go through now and it is their game to lose. I expect us to be starting in the Championship next season. However, to quote Jimmy Greaves, "Football is a funny old game" so you never know.
