    Lack of Passion a Concern....

    Not amongst us fans who I thought were fantastic on the day......but more worrying perhaps from the players. I thought the majority just seemed to be going through the motions yesterday......with maybe the exceptio of Nimely & Keogh. I find this type of disply frustrating when you are...

    WOuld you have Mifsud back???

    No thanks......look at what he has done with this career since he left us......erm says it all really! His attitude sucked personally. If was willing to tough it out in league 1 with league 1 wages then he might be a risk worth taking. Something tells me though he would rate himself much...

    Reading

    Despite recent last minute heartbreaks have booked tickets for Reading away game. I have never been to Madjeski before and have a few questions. a. Are we bringing a lot of fans? At one stage it was touted that loads were going? Was not the impresion I got from guy selling tickets though...

    Clingan - Tonight?

    Hi All, With Clingan speculation just wondered if anyone knew if he had travelled with squad tonight yet? I think he is one of our most expendable players but on the flip side would be nice to name unchanged xi after performance against Middlesbrough! Cheers PUSB

    Big changes ahead this week

    You'd be surprised sw88 - Clingan, Crainie, Eastwood, Wood, McPake, Bell, Baker, McSheff all will not be on tuppence hapenny a week. We are definitely not on the lowest wage bill in championship I guarantee you that!

    Big changes ahead this week

    As I said in an earlier thread we have a silimilar resource in terms of numbers and wage bill to the majority of the championship sides. Therefore given our financial plight not unresonable to expect numbers have to move out before more move in now. If we could lose players like Rod, Clingan &...

    Is our Squad that Bad now?

    Cheers Folks for comments agree with most views on here. I know sisu are getting slaughtered and I am not defending them at all but we have 21 players above on books plus Jordan Clarke and a few others. Most championship clubs have about this level of resource/wages bill.. Therefore for...

    Is our Squad that Bad now?

    Looking at 16 selected yesterday and comparing to Middlesboro I thought our 16 looked stronger? I certainly think we now have a squad of mid-table standard if they stay injury free - I did not think we were worst even before new additions? Considering that McPake, Bigi, Hussey & arguably...

    Fat Freddie!

    Couldn't agree more Eastwood very useful sub and he can only get fitter if he gets his head right. Looking at bench. Dunn, Baker, Bell, Eastwood, Wood. All decent options even before loans did not think we had the worst squad in championship by a mile......that's three home wins on the bounce...

    Hermann Hreidarsson to sign next week.

    I reckon he will play left back non-league.....I think with Wood, Crainie & Keogh we are ok for centre back + McPake of course. Only way he will play centre back is if he moves Keogh to right back at the expense of Christie which would be a little harsh but he also is young. I think strongest...

    Hermann Hreidarsson to sign next week.

    I think he will prove to be a great signing and provides some much needed competition/cover for Hussey who has coped reasonably well but is still relatively young and experienced at this level. Will add some much needed fight to our team - with Keogh, Deegan and Herman in the team we may...

    Eastwood - worth at least a sub spot v Derby

    Eastwood? Unfirtunately I could not make game yesterday but was glad to see Eastwood on bench and that he got on all be it for 12 minutes. Just wondered how he did? Did he look grossly unfit? I suppose he did not have too long to make an impression.....I was just unsure about the unfit tag...

    What will be the Line up vs Derby?

    Will Juke not still be available? I have heard lots of news but no confirmation yet that he has actually gone to Boro.....though the writing seems to be on the wall. If he is fit and still our player he should start with McSheff, especially as maybe value we are getting for him may not be as...

    Juke Going May not be a bad thing overall!

    I certianly would not say lucky just do not think it is the worse deal in the world......losing King & Westwood for no fee was far worse! I also think if Eastwood had played as many minutes this season he may have that goals tally...if McSheff played up front all season he would have...

    Juke Going May not be a bad thing overall!

    So hitting a last minute penalty into Birmingham against Reading at home is not costing us points... no of course it's not that's worth double surely! :facepalm: Don't get me wrong I have no problem with the effort juke puts in every game......I just do not think he is top champtionship...

    Juke Going May not be a bad thing overall!

    Rob if we get to keep him till end of season and still cahs in on 1.5m or 2m depending on which figure you belive that is a blinding deal. Providing value does not go down if worse case scenario we do go down it will be welcome cash, anyone know if Juke will start/plat at weekend? I suppose...

    Juke Going May not be a bad thing overall!

    If it is £2m for a journeyman forward I do not think that is bad business I suppose time will only tell! He has played every minute virtually and has nine goals which is not fantastic, he has undoubtedly cost us about nine points this year due to poor finishing missed penalties...reading at...

    Sammy off to Leeds?

    This can't be true someone put this one on the site a few months back and that Juke would be a boro player in 24 hours FACT!! Surely therefore both of these players have not been at our club for months already!!.......oh hang on a minute!! :facepalm: Anyhow this one is the one I would be least...

    Eastwood - worth at least a sub spot v Derby

    sw88 I think you are confusing your interpretations......a player who has represented his country at full international level can call themselves "international class".....Now I think you mean "World class" that is a completely different matter.......however I would argue England have hardly any...
