It's impossible to know what the others would have done but my personal opinion is it would have been difficult to improve on the job he's done so far.

They're a bit of a basket case. I couldn't think of anything worse footballing wise than being the type of club who burn through managers every few months, (again). Having said that, I'm sure he'll be handsomely rewarded for his troubles.

I think his managerial career up until joining us was poor, but I honestly couldnt care, only interested in what he does here. If someone could provide a compelling argument that he was very good in his previous appointments it wouldnt alter my mindset, I still only care about what he does...

He should have exempted the top 4 but otherwise his post is spot on but a lot of people don't seem to be able to grasp it. Even the relegation threatened sides hit purple patches.

Know someone who played with Gayle at blues. There were certain training drills he couldn't join in with because he simply couldn't execute them he was that poor.

For much of his time he literally only had one player ahead of him moving, most of the team was static The arrival of the Morrocans and Robbie Keane was a game changer.

I mean, in a thread called over rated players most choices are going to raise a few eyebrows andI appreciate I'm in a minority but genuinely never thought much of Thompson. Was surprised to see McCallister named right enough.

Indiscipline, not as good as he thought he was, beat a man now and again so everyone thought he was the second coming of George Best. Didn't like him as a player or a person.

David Thompson

Emerson was,a superb player, though never the same after his injury. It would have been inertesting to see where his career took him that hadn't happened.

That's going to cost them a lot of dough in advertising revenue. The Saudis must have given FIFA a fortune.

I think our home support gets some unfair flack and it's usually decent compared to most even if not hitting the heights of a couple of years ago. But it did seem unusually flat last night, but it was a Tuesday night, the game was poor, and it was bloody freezing.

We heard all this the season we made the play offs. We'd fucked it when we lost to Stoke, when we drew with Wigan etc. But we still got to the final. We're in a good position and in good form but there will be blips. And in all liklihood all the teams around us will have blips as well. I...

I'm sure ITKs have posted stuff but I think Preston has been mentioned, Sheaf as well.

Hopefully be back soon but it's been dragging on for a bit.

Only a few select teams don't concede chances in this league. Even against Leeds their keeper had to make a couple of saves, (1 excellent one), so it's important to have someone decent between the sticks and Dovin has been outstanding.

Think Wright has missed too much football. Rudoni or Dovin for me.

Every team who just misses out will have a Cardiff and a Portsmouth, its just the nature of that section of the league. But, yeah, it's frustrating.

It's a very pragmatic approach and I'm all for it. Not the time of the season to start trying to implement a long term strategy. That can wait until the close season. Can we sneak 5th or 6th, definitely, but so can several other teams. Let's see who holds their nerve, last minute winners...

That applies to all the teams around us. That's why its as tight as it is.
