I'm mot liking him at this very moment for sure, but he has been very good at bringing kids through and giving them a chance, which is something many of our previous managers have been reluctant to do and he is willing to change. Last season we were shipping in goals and giving goals away late...

Exactly Nick. We do have some good players here and I would say Fleck, Johnson, O'Brien, Jackson, Clarke, Webster, Thomas, Haynes, Nouble should all be good enough for this division. We need a system that fits the players, not players that we just try to fit into a system.

Did detect the sacrcasm and threw it staight back at you.

Sorry, but Barton is just not good enough. Left out in the wilderness by a succession of managers and nothing like the sort of player we require right now for this team.

Would like to see more of Finch in that midfield role. Pressley has to be careful not to have too many young players in the side at once however.

He could get back in the team if he's in a wheelchair. And why wouldn't he walk back into the team after 3 successive defeats anyhow?

The card is great for flashing at bars and clubs etc. in the city centre. Everytime I am with friends and I want an excuse to go home, I simply flash my card and would be refused entry.

Burge (at least give him a try, or bring in another keeper) Clarke, Willis, Johnson, Pugh O'Brien, Fleck, (bring a strong, combatitive midfielder in) Haynes Nouble, Jackson.

Alsop Phillips Willis Reda Haynes O'Brien Fleck Barton Swanson Nouble Jackson On paper I have to say, that looks a truly shocking line-up. We would get hammered playing that team. Midfield already looks like it's lacking strength and yet Liam would like to play Barton and Swanson?

I'm wanting a retro team at the moment.

I just noticed the stats, BBC is saying we had 51% possession. Is that right? :confused: From what I recall the first 25 mins or so we hardly even touched the ball and in the 2nd half, as soon as they scored, they completely dominated and their fans were doing the Olé's and we were nowhere...

At the moment I think you'd have to say, if you shut down Haynes you shut down our entire attacking threat. Pretty much all our good stuff has come down the left hand side. Yesterday, you are right about Clarke. There were several times when he was completely free on the right and we didn't go...

As someone said, when we go ahead the system works okay on the whole, but when we are behind and chasing games this system doesn't create enough goalscoring opportunities for us and we look rather powder puff then.

Yep, totally agree. 3-5-2 makes us a lot more solid, but we hardly offer any attacking threat and if we switch back to 4-4-2 i can see last year's defensive frailties coming back to haunt us once again. Then you have to add to that, that up front I just don't think we have the same goal power...

I'm not sure where a 7 for Fleck is coming from. As Stupot says, our midfield was totally dominated for pretty much the entire game.

Comes to something when you have to scratch you head and struggle to actually find a MOTM.

This squad is 10 games in, FACT.

Well I think that's it in a nutshell. We all believe it was one of the worst ever performances in living memory and therefore I can't see how anyone deserved anything past a 6.

Thought at the time of his sending off during the Scunthorpe match that it could cost us past that game if we lost. Not trying to say he cost us all 3 games, but that madness of the that one game obviously cost us then, but there was a knock on effect following that game and he has been a big...

I remember a mate of mine telling me in complete confidence that one time he woke up one morning after quite a raucous party to find himself in bed with someone licking his balls. He said at first he was merely just enjoying it, but as he properly awoke, he couldn't remember much at all about...
