And get that win. 4 points from these 2 games will be a very good return.

I see Paddy Madden is out of contract in the summer. The sort of striker we would want here perhaps?

Who made you arbiter? ;)

Jesus Christ. 'Why did you have to make such a song and dance about it, eh?'

I think perhaps I haven't made my stance clear. I did sort of mention in my posts, that it's not necessarily the fact it is 20 players out of contract, it is about having the key personnel in the core roles to build on. What we need to be in place ideally is a good keeper, a solid centre back...

No, he is saying the fans I believe.

I would say we DID deserve to be in the top 6. Don't think we can say that any more. If teams win games in hand we will be out of the top 6 and unfortunately, rightly so. Of course that's not to say we can't turn it around again and to be quite honest, we better damn do so, because at the...

All our oxygen seemed to be sucked out the second Phillips gave away that howler. Interesting to note it was our first home defeat and after that, not only was that part of a 3 match losing streak, but also within that we suddenly lost 2 at home on the bounce. Think that Burton defeat hit...

Plus obviously the likes of Sambou, the Kelly-Evans twins and Lawton if they are promising enough.

On the proviso that it was down to us and not the player? Stokes, Lorentzson (though I do need to see more of him), Martin, Armstrong, Murphy, Rose (ditto Lorentzson). You need your core players, keeper, defender, midfielder, striker. Not convinced at all we will get another like Armstrong...

Yep, you have to get the balance right! Fine to be saying 'right, we need say a new right back and a striker and a wide midfield player to add to what we have.' Not so wise to say 'we need two centre backs, a left back, a central midfield player, a wide midfield player and 2 strikers!' And...

I accept some out of contract, but 20 is seriously high. Fleck won't stay and I'm guessing JOB won't either. It's the backbone I'm worried about. Keeper, CB's, Central midifeld play maker and striker. That's the very core of a team. We have a keeper, but Johnson and Martin and Ricketts are all...

Then the 2 year plan had to be a lie.

Yep, what I have always believed too. If it had have been a 2 year plan I think we would have needed key players on permanents. The situation up front is shocking especially. I never bought into the 2 year plan myself.

Martin, Conor Thomas, Stokes, Fortune, JOB, Lawton. Ricketts, Johnson, Kelly-Evans twins, Finch, Fleck, Tudgay, Phillips, Henderson, Hunt, Coke. Ramage, Lorentzson, Sambou, Burge.

How scary is that? If we go up, fine, because we will need Championship quality players anyway, but I don't see how it can be a 2 year plan if we are having to start again pretty much from scratch next season.

Is there any news on the Lorentzson injury? I'm hoping he'll be a big player for us this season

I hope it happens too. Then in their spare time all these footballers can go out and try and spread democracy.

I am growing a little tired of TWD, after previously it being a must see. The world it encompasses though does leave little scope for development past man eating zombies and bad rival humans I suppose. Will definitely watch, but I am sort of at the brink with it. They really do need to end it...

We were very confident that day, despite not playing brilliantly. We were well in control and only a City victory seemed likely. What transpired would surely dishearten any team. If that's the case though, it shouldn't have been carried through to a number of subsequent matches.
