Shame it wasn't 5 girls and one lad though, eh? ;) Guess you wouldn't have seen much of the match that way though.

If they think they can sneakily get away with something that obviously dodgy when even us lot have worked it out then they're even more stupid than I thought. Hmm, didn't think that was possible. Of course, this is how sides end up with 25 point deductions for two seasons rather than just ten...

If the OP is referring to an AT quote, might I suggest that it was in the context of "If we play like that every week, we'll be fine". Frankly, if we play like that every week, we'll be about 9th. Of course, we won't, but it's hard to disagree with his sentiments unless you're the most...

Generally for us they didn't even reach the near post. They'd kinda drift towards it but fall a few yards short, making a header or hoof clear meat and drink every time. It was painful to watch! We didn't even bother with them under Thorn, remember?

But it just doesn't add up. Unless SISU have done a dodgy scheme involving Otium that will be bordering on the criminal.

Perfectly summed up, Ash. Exactly how I see it, especially the part about youngsters: it's not that they're not great talents, it's that we're using too many of them too often at the same time as there's no one else-rather than being able to drop them in and take them out, as Thorn tried to...

Christie created more mayhem and chances from throws in his first 6 games than Aron did in about a year! Almost every single one is at worst scrambled clear, which can go any where. It happened a few times yesterday. One of the bonuses in Cyrus's armoury.

No, that's entirely deliberate and a good thing. Watch some videos of Liverpool in the 80's and you'll see what I mean. It's called "pass and move".

Bang on. His give-and-go is superb, his movement very swift, and he has very quick feet so that he adds tempo and dynamism to our passing. He broke up play with a few tackles that were frankly 70-30 balls-he went in hard but controlled, and although he didn't win the ball outright it usually...

Keogh will certainly be gone, possibly Hussey, Gael and Thomas too. But I think we'll still have Murphy; coming from Scunthorpe, he won't be on huge money, and he's spent plenty of time in L1. Not to mention that as a 'keeper with back-to-back relegations on his CV, would a Championship club...

This is pretty much it. I think that was probably Platt's first full 90 mins..Juke plays constantly even though last season his poor stamina meant he was usually subbed by 70 mins..Hussey has never had a full season of pro football..Wood, Cranie, McPake, Deegan, Baker, Bell and McSheffrey have...

He may not have been good enough 2 years ago, but when we're in the same division as him and his side are above us in the table, he'll be too good for us! Same goes for Gary Madine. Maybe then we'll realise we aren't a big club any more?

Well they'll all look like mongs when he does sign for a Premiership club, won't they? He's a top Championship player who is a natural in two positions and accomplished at playing the ball out of defence. There are 3 or 4 sides in the top flight whose squads are made up of that sort of...

They could easily capitalise at least 4-5m worth of talent in 6 weeks time. Why would they go now when that is an option-and, most likely, the one they'll use?

Can't believe some people think he was English! Although he's Irish in the way that a lot of Jack Charlton's gang were, heh heh. The main reason he fell down the leagues is that he had a massive falling out with his then-manager Gary Johnson at Bristol C and got frozen out. This at a time when...

Completely disagree. The credit goes to Thorn for re-energising the players and getting both the starting XI and the tactics spot on. We lost partly due to luck, individual errors perhaps, but ultimately because we had a weaker bench IMO. Bringing on a player of Coles class just emphasised the...

Agreed, we got the balance almost spot-on. We had so many "almost" chances...WH scored from two of theirs. Thems the breaks.

It was the diamond but with McSheffrey playing it as he did last season rather than how he has this year thus far. Instead of sticking to the central area, he worked either flank and made forward runs so that he was really like a 3rd striker most of the time. Equally Sammy was more advanced than...

Well yeah, agreed, but they aint going, are they?
