    David Bell

    Clingan did give the ball away cheaply too. I had indeed noticed that. We just know that David Bell is better than what we saw yesterday. And how games can we throw that label at him? He frustrates the hell out you because we know he is capable of so much more!

    Adam Le Fondre

    We haven't got any money!! Hence the offer of a player exchange!

    Man of the match today?

    I really can't see how we can risk all our first teamers. We have an incredibly thin squad as it is and we really can't risk picking up any injuries. Much as I would like us to field our best 11 I am not sure it would be a wise move. If we were to pick up a couple of injuries on Tuesday we'll...

    David Bell

    Well I think we are all beginning to believe that. Manager after manager has come out and said what a good player he is. He simply hasn't shown that though. Another Freddie on our hands I think. You never know what you're going to get and too often he flatters to deceive. He'll be brilliant one...

    heard from a very good source

    Don't go in for rumours, but this one might have some credence. The financial markets are taking quite a hit. Thing is though, won't any recession and financial crisis also hit Hoffman's backers too?

    Why Did I Nearly Crash The Car On The Way Home Today?

    He's nearly always invariably first on too. I reckon he must spend his free time listening to Leonard Cohen and watching Ingmar Bergman films. Never anything quite so ridiculous as that time when Eakin asked him what he thought of the game and he came out with "What did you think, Clive?" He...

    Dulieu - Give The New Board Time

    We have good players, just that the squad is too thin. We are certain to become a cropper. Usually when you have to and injuries kick-in you have to bring in some kids and blood them early. We are bringing in the kids now. What's going to happen when we get a few more injuries?

    Adam Le Fondre

    We haven't really got many bargaining chips have we!! If we are talking about swap deals then I think Freddie would have been a good option for both parties, though as you quite rightly say, swapping a striker for a striker doesn't help the squad much in terms of our strikeforce does it. So who...

    very true observation about the front two playing too far apart. They didn't operate as a striking partnership at all.

    When Will Our Season Come?

    Luck? Let's talk about mismanagement on a grand scale by the likes of Richardson, Robinson and Mr. McGooity! Been too many wrong choices behind the scenes to consider luck. Don't think we have hardly been at all unlucky to be honest. In fact, you could suggest quite the opposite, some seasons...

    Man of the match today?

    Biggy Ree Marner for me. Only way I can pronounce his name properly if I break it down and keep saying it to myself. :p

    Highlights from today!

    Be interesting to see if referees' opinions would differ if a few of them were asked to comment. Really divided opinion on here.

    David Bell

    Have to just say that's not quite right about the 2 chances. Nugent also missed a sitter in the second half just on the six yard box where he completely miss-hit is and the ball screwed wide and Matt Mills also had a great chance just on the six yard box from a corner but he miss-hit that one...

    I thought Juke did well too.

    Highlights from today!

    Agree. No doubt that Vassell's was much worse.

    David Bell

    Well he did have the best shot of the game for sure. The reason I am so disappointed in him is because I keep hearing things from managers and coaching staff saying stuff like "you just watch him go." Think Ranson said that very same thing before the beginning of last season. The coaching...

    Nothing to be ashamed of

    That didn't pass me by. Leshtur though no great shakes were indeed extremely organised. Still don't think we have enough in our locked though to score many goals. Juke is not an out and out goalscorer, neither is Platt. Sheff is the only player who has that poacher instinct, but he's seem...

    Highlights from today!

    Fair enough.

    Highlights from today!

    when I first saw it I thought yellow. From that angle for me, that still looks like a yellow. Wasn't the same straight on lunge as Vasell's and he did try to come from the side slightly. It's all about opinions at the end of the day though! :p

    not too downhearted

    Agree. We need a goalscorer. Le Fondre seems like the sort of player we need. I have pretty much given up hope on him though. Think we will be outbid.
