People are assuming Kelly is the answer to the central midfield. He went off after 23 minutes at Bristol, when we were one down. The good spell of pressure leading to Godden's goal came after Kelly went off. Against Bournemouth we made his nowse even if only for 60-70 minutes but that will be on...

None of these fit with the way we play now - not even Bayliss and least of all McNulty. It could be that the million or so for Bayliss (although some will be perfomance related) could be a smart move. He could be the next Ben Stevenson or George Thomas where the cash was of more use to us than a...

four draws statistically improbable, Common sense tells you we will lose at least one. Therefore we need a win. Happy SBH

so would I, but it means a win somewhere. Ooh er

you are being way too generous.

What struck me was how few passes went to feet in a way that the recipeint could use it straight away. It always had to be controlled, and momentum was lost. O'Hara was an honourable exception.

Lee Burge is saving Sunderland v Posh including one from JCH (just saying)

Yes I hope JJ gets fit.....so we can offload him and get him off the payroll (dons tin hat and retires to a safe distance)

Here, that's what I said - I thought you said I talked rubbish.....

I was fortunate (or unfortunate depending on your point of view) to watch Scargill close too in 1984. I concluded he was a charlatan. This mini thread belongs elsewhere.

Great orator - just a big dick

As the consensus appears to be that Giles will start ahead of McCallum and Ostigard ahead of Rose, there seems to be only two areas of doubt in the team selection, CDM and left side attack The options appear to be - in order of liklihood (imho) 1. CDM Shipley LSA Allen 2. CDM Sheaf LSA...

Mason must be on his way. He is one whom there should be a ready home for in league 1.

With Thomas and Chaplin in the team, we are not suprised. Both lacked end product in different ways Edit -seems neither was playing, oh well

That's about it in a nutshell

...maybe because it is very close to the truth. Newly promoted teams are always viewed as the easiest, it was how we viewed home games like Lincoln last year. Wild optimism does nobody any good, it just doubles the disappointment and is actually just a bit irritating because it involves a...

agreed, and during his tenure Robins' success rate is well above average. The European thing is the only question mark. To view it as a success, one of Kast, Job, Hiss & Dacost has to become a regular first teamer, with two a bit like Shipley - in and out.

All agreed and well known to everybody. That was the point behind the strategy - skilled european players that nobody has noticed, at less cost, who would join us partly for the chance of being spotted by bigger clubs and get really big money. Or something like that. Definetely worth a concerted...

But the jury is out on the cheap european players. Not Hamer, he cost money - that's different and looks to be a real star But Kastaneer, Jobello, Hissner and Dacosta were all cheapies. One of those four has to become a regular to warrant continuing with that strand in recruitment. Kasta is an...

Aren't Barnsley are just going to whang in as many set piece crosses to the far post, particularly from our right. On current form that might be a problem. Oh, and they will probabaly try to get Thomas 1 on 1 on McFaz . I'm going to be watching through my fingers. But Godden is going to get the...
