Tbf, I've mounted a spirited defence of Clarke, but Nick wasn't really hammering him I don't think. And it's all about opinions.

No, I meant Keith Hill. The bloke who was just on The Football Leaguie show with the beard!

Agreed 100%. Give Thorn a chance. I also love the fact that he's a cockney geezer who looks a bit like Tony Soparano in a suit. You can already tell the players love him-as did the fans at Palace and Wimbledon. A proper football man, I'm just surprised at his style of play given the clubs he...

I think he just had to adjust in the change of pace. He was an absolute bloody hero at Bohemians, and there are some decent players in that league.

He set up loads at Wimbledon but didn't score many direct, a couple I think. When we signed him, I did say "the closest thing you'll find to Danny Fox in the lower leagues". His Wimbledon manager, Terry Brown, thinks he can go all the way and play for England. And Brown is a superb judge-I...

Glad you started a thread for him, Nick. You just pipped me to him! :D I bloody love Hussey as a footballer. I've been an avid follower of non-league football for around 5 years now. The standard has improved massively over that time, and I strongly believe that youngsters playing every week...

Aidy said he was ahead of schedule, but they won't rush him back until next year. Aidy did also stress what a big player he's be for us ( I have on good authority btw that he only wanted to keep a handful of the present squad, of which he was one ). I really think he'd do well in a formation...

Cracking strike! I love it when seemingly average Championship players step up surprisngly well-Luke Varney, anyone? I quite admire Stoke-more than the sum of their parts, even if it is ugly at times. I think that was Aidy's role model for what he hoped to achieve here-but we were found out too...

Yeah, Hussey was great. But I thought Jordan did run at his man-at least on 3 occaisions I remember-and tbh early doors, maybe the first 5 rather than 20 mins, he was quality and played some neat, short passes. The odd aerial ball also lobbed over defenders and found Kings feet, and his throws...

I have to say, Taylor was pretty awesome. He looks a class above, which shows the gulf to the Prem as I thought he was a bit pants at Brum. Today he showed power and more passing ability than I expected. Wish we'd got him when we were in for him now! You weren't bad, and didn't give up, but...

It was intersesting that Ranson had Cranie in at RB last night in his Dream Team, the rest of the back 4 being Turner, Dann and Fox. Might be an option if we ever get the others fit at the same time. Sadly, Cranie is the guy with the re-sale value. Versatile, young and fairly cultured for a...

I'll admit that I didn't think we stood a chance, with our recent defensive record and their on-fire attack. A cracking performance against a very good team. They threatened, but then we hit the woodwork several times and had 2 goals wrongly ruled out. I don't care if it is players putting...

Yeah, he WAS the wide-man in thay formation! But it was cool when Keogh pushed forwards from CB to help him, I couldn't believe what I was seeing, 2 City defenders attacking-which Hussey did SUPERBLY on the other flank. My Championship Manager formation on the old Amiga version was identical to...

I raised a concern last night that if his tactics work and we end the season playing free-flowing, passing attacking football...well, SISU may get rid as he's Ransons buddy and not a "name" manager! A bit like the Black error. Alternatively, they may see him as the cheap option I suppose. If...

Turner and McPake. Cameron has awesome potential but needs taking out now and again as he looks a bit jaded. Cranie I like a lot at CB, but he makes a few Ward-type errors and isn't as strong or good in the air as my first choice duo. Who seem to be the most injury prone of the options...

I think if I'd started a thread today saying someone was having a shocker it would have been Marlon, whose touch wasn't quite there today, but thats probably a lack of match fitness. Nobody found their man 100% of the time today ( actually, I think Bell did! ), but it just looks worse giving it...

I know what you mean, egastap-but I think his point is that Mr. Brodys nationality is somewhat irrelevant to his essential makeup. It doesn't matter where he's from, bullshit smells the same all over the world.;)

I beg to differ. I thought after 20 mins he was our man of the match! He played some really good first time passes, and the balls he gave away were when no-one moved for him. He made some runs for throws that Westwood ignored, and made himself available for some that he took and attacked with...

He was superb against Swansea too, although he faded due to lack of match fitness. Today he was better. More to the point, it illustrated that he is a midfielder rather than a winger, and he started off in CM at Rushden. He's not that fast, but he has great distribution and touch. Not to mention...

Not gloating, but THATS WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT! Awesome strike and he created mayhem all game. If he's facing in that direction instead of his main role being to protect his FB ( hence using all his stamina running backwards ) , he will play like today. Thats the most advanced role he's had...
