    Todays Squad

    Your point is an excellent one. However, in the scenario you suggest Kilbane would play centre half and Thomas centre mid. I think SISU believe the team that played at Southampton make up the squad. In other words the kids are very much part of the squad, like last season. The only...

    Todays Squad

    Sammy is wanted by Millwall and Brighton... 2 ambitious Championship clubs ... But not by the fans of a downwardly-mobile League One club which has a dearth of midfielders now. Scapegoat Sammy doesn't have the same catchy sound as Sideways Sammy.

    Mikael Forssell to Coventry City?

    IMO we desperately need another quality striker, or 2. In the last year we have lost King, Juke, Eastwood, Platt and Clarke-Harris (from the pool of youth players). Loanee, Nimely has gone too. We have brought in only Cody and Elliott ... Fleck is a midfielder, as far as I know. So, by my...

    Squad have turned up for pre-season training

    On the other hand you could argue that Clingan was more straightforward and honest and didn't mess the club about like King did... and possibly Cranie is too? He was straight about leaving and didn't hang about so we had to endure the, "Will he? Wont he?" malarky. Of course one's personal...

    Squad have turned up for pre-season training

    We don't have a player called Craine. CRANIE is next to Baker

    England v italy

    Our players cannot compete at tournaments in the summer months. Eg. Rooney need never be picked again for a summer tournament, he always looks completely shattered, worn out by the season's end playing for his club...nothing left in the tank. Premier league was introduced with the claim that it...

    New signings

    Minimum 2 strikers, but only one midfield if he relies on all the kids + a LB. Most important is 1 striker : BIg and aggressive 2 striker: strong and fast One must be capable of 20 goals a season.. Midfielder needs to be able to carry the ball into danger areas not just pass it...

    5200 sheep with no life...

    It interests me that people can be so certain they are right about something that is very uncertain...ie. What affect the number of season tix sold will have on our owners. It seems to me very uncertain. Who knows, it could make SISU believe the club has got a loyal fan base which the right...

    Spin, spin, spin

    A person who thinks the glass is half full is not an optimist, not a positive attitude, can do type. No, this is a person with low expectations, one who is too easily pleased! Sorry but I have to work with people who spout bollocks about glasses and attitudes.

    Squad Problems Solved...

    If you took a look at the team sheet v. Southampton this was entirely predictable. Folks saying we need 6, 8 players or more can now subtract 6 from that figure and arrive at a more realistic 3 or 4, even allowing for 2 or 3 more to leave. If we sign more than 4 more than we let go from now on...

    Here are the 2012 / 2013 new kits

    Not impressed with the home kit. It is like the 2010-11 one which was one of the worst ever. Too busy, thin horizontal stripes and diagonal flashes = like a 1970s kids' T-shirt. We are a bit of a laughing stock as we have no clear identity. Serious teams don't keep dicking about with their kit...

    Thank you for your support this season, would like to talk to you about....

    Or the surfeit of bald, fat men who think they are players.

    It is for real

    When the new dawn breaks will those of us who renewed season tickets earlier get special gold plated treatment? The thud of bandwagon jumpers... Best seats at Wembley, please.

    All time fave player!

    Rather than the players who had just won the FA cup, you mean?

    All time fave player!

    Graham Oakey, of course. Actually favourites are Mick Ferguson Micky Gynn Oakey Colin Stein. With honourable mention for Danny Thomas. Again I feel sorry for those fans who missed the best years of 1967 til late 80s. Only the entertainers in the late 90s can be mentioned in the same...

    Support the club!

    Is the person who refuses to buy a season ticket similar to the person who refuses to have their child vaccinated? That is, they take a "principled" moral high ground position and rely on the fact that most others will not...therefore ensuring their child is protected anyway as the diseases do...

    clingan gone

    Sorry to see Sammy go but it was inevitable given our financial plight and relegation. Sammy is one of a long line of central midfielders given stick by our fans and made a scapegoat for poor performances of the team. No evidence he cared less than others He did no more than Westwood...
