    Sterling negativity

    I have only seen him once and he was utter dross, comfortably our worst player. he may be better at full back. I don't care if he is 19 and just learning the ropes, let him learn at someone else's expense - we need players who get us wins. Unless he is a better full back than wing midfielder, I...

    Conor Chaplin - Signing Confirmed (Finally!)

    People say the same about Palace's ground. The old grounds have atmosphere. Modern bowls do not.

    It might be a sympathy clap for how he was pissed around by the other players and the manager at Oxford on Tuesday

    Four toughest defenders plus the two toughest defensive midfielders, plus Max. The other three slots you can pick any old permutation

    Noooooooooooooo Stirling. Geoffrey Boycott's grannie would be a better right back

    Fans Need To Be Realistic

    What the **** does "make a statement" mean in terms of reality. It is a tired cliche for fans who want some rich people to indulge their (the fans) hobby We have shopped at a level equal to or greater than other clubs in div 1. Given the amount the club loses, that strikes me as pretty good. It...

    Luke Thomas

    Good question, he appears to be none of a) nippy striker a la McNulty b) target man better than Max or JCH c) wide man better than Shipley, AB, or (Jones when he returns). Not sure what he is

    I have a sneaky suspicion it is going to be Ponti. in the end

    Tom Bayliss

    The only real plus point at Oxford was the Brown / Shipley combo on the left in the second half which created both the offside goals. In our cravings for skill we neglect the utilitarian skills of Shipley, which make stuff happen for others. Also when Andreu was bought, and the injured, Bayliss...

    Danny Rose hands in transfer request

    Get the back 6 sorted - 4 at the back, Ogogo plus one of Doyle / Kelly Start being the very tight defence we were this time last year The rest will take a bit longer

    If you were to collate the player ratings so far this season (I have), and even allowing for some only playing in one game, and literally just chose the 11 players who have received the highest cumulative ratings, regardless of position, the team would be O'Brien Willis Davies Hyam Mason Doyle...

    agreed. He provided the one moment of genuine class, but was a headless chicken much of the time. Needs a boss figure to keep him in line

    Jack Grimmer

    Neither goal was on his side. Brown got sucked into the middle on both occasions, altho first one down to him having to take a gap left by Hyam. The cross in was good and headed in by a WHU loanee, exactly where Hyam should have been

    At Oxford the answer was Brown and Shipley - about the best thing in the game

    Burge Grimmer Davies Willis Brown (Hyam is tooooo slow) Ogogo Bayliss Kelly (if fit) Shipley Andreu Biamou No attacking new signings!!! Unlucky on AB who is actually competing with Shipley, he needs to turn himself into a taller version of Biamou Andreu to park himself 10 yards from Biamou...

    Ogogo is Doyle mk 2 - does all the grunt work but poor on the ball. An Ogogo / Doyle central partnership would lack basic skill Time for Kelly

    Puzzled by your view of Grimmer. I thought he had plenty of zip down the right and defended well.Both goals came on the left. I like Ogogo, but he gave the ball away alot in the second half

    I thought Grimmer played really well.Lots of energy going forward and relentless at the back.
