I had the same problem, lost Nouble of McQuiod as well as Alsop and the other loanees. Parent clubs wanted more wage contribution to extend the deals but depsite me saving tons of money (I offered the squad players new contracts and they only asked for half their current wages!) I couldn't...

I'm saying no for now but I'm not too far from being convinced otherwise.

Anybody else invested in this year's game? How you getting on? *cue obligatory 'don't give a shit' comments from those that don't play the game.

I'm not convinced he would be a success. I think he would bring about some much needed impetus but walked into a club with money at Brentford. He successor quite easily finished the job he started with no previous managerial experience. Wigan fans loved him last year, I work with a few but they...

Is there anyway of confirming what his weekly wages actualy are? I'm sure someone on here quoted about 18k the other day but the latest Football Manager, which tends to be quite accurate, has him only earning about 3.5k at Ipswich. If the later is true I'd say we have a shout but again, with a...

Jesus Christ! What chance have we ever got of filling the Ricoh if we can't even fill 8 seats on Soccer AM!

Rochdale away? Pretty sure these two played up front then.

One of the poorest halfs of football I've ever seen, we didn't deserve to score the one. The players are not capable of playing this formation and Presley seems determined to try to force it. Instead of changing the formation, he brings in Barton who he wanted rid of and we are playing with...

He didn't have a good game by any stretch, got caught in possession yet again stood motionless. But still won a couple of challenges and moved the ball positively a few times. Swanson was miles worse yesterday.

I don't think Thomas played as poorly as some are suggesting. I'd go for Allsopp : 5. Willis : 7. Webster : 7. Hines : 8. Clarke : 6. Pugh : 6. Thomas : 5. Fleck : 5. O'Brien : 5. Nouble : 7. Jackson : 6. Swanson : 3/4. Finch : 6. Tudgay : 6.

Thought today was very poor, more so than the stats will show. Rochdale although uninspiring did the basics well. Won the ball and played it long in the first half. They had a midget in the middle of the park who just broke up play, ran, turned inside and give it wide. When we won possession at...

Nouble for me, I know it's only one game but he offers something different to what we have so for that reason alobe I'd keep him.

I'm only coming from Swinton so me and the old man will be going this one.

One thing I will add and it's a major frustration is that we seem to have to work so hard to create our chances. But we seem to give away chances far too easily. A lot if needless corners yesterday and loss of possession in deep areas. But I suppose if you want to play football Pressley's way at...

Allsop : 7. Only negative was the low cross across the six yard area. Willis : 8. Looks very solid and mobile, high hopes for him to push on this year. Webster : 7. Did well, didn't put a foot wrong and won his duals. Johnson : 6. Decent performance but distribution sometimes a little...

Lot of people slating McQuoid to be fair, I was one of them but he also was played out of position alot and he's scored a cuople this year already. If played through ght middle might just turn out to be a very good signing.

To be fair I think that they requested that Waggott does the media/press releases and he's viewed more favourably that Fisher. If he came out stating that he had done this for the fans he would still get a massive backlash given his actions over the last 2/3 years.

Just tried to book the Saturday off work and was turned down as there is a leave ban. Think I can get the Friday off though so if the old man can make it we will be coming down from Manchester.

Cody was never suited to playing up front on his own. Needs a target man to play off.

Better than Alex Lech?!?
