Huddlesfield, a top club!? Please, Norwood was excellent for us, yes. But judging by Barton's rave reviews as a kid in the Championship and last season when Liverpool and Chelsea wanted him for 5m, whereas Norwood has been a young player at Man U who was never going to make it, and was linked...

NAME the 4 midfielders in your 'magic' formula! The diamond worked before when he was caretaker. Also, the games we lost in pre season were when we didn't play the diamond, first game we played with it we won 4-1. Also, Barton is better than Norwood, how many top teams wanted him, Man U...

I don't know why everyone is worrying, he is still with us and talks are ongoing, which means at the min, we're in pole position to sign him and there's no news because there is nothing to say on it as of yet, I expect him to sign before Saturday. I do hope he signs as he could be a really good...

Ok, Jennings Barton Thomas Fleck That is a strong midfield who should be able to create good quality chances whilst keeping the ball, Oh, and in case you haven't noticed, none of them played against D&R or was at the club bar Thomas (who was excellent now got a bit more experience and...

I read it, you must have put it wrong because you said we lack pace and crossing ability, but 4-4-2 would be our strength, which would be a contradiction. 4-4-2 is an old-fashioned, out-of-date formation as England have kindly demonstrated to us and the world, especially when wingerless Italy...

He was class, but Cov fans still over rated him. Annoying thing about McSheff is that he's shown individual class last season on v rare occassions but overall he is poor, gives possession away easily, disruptsmove by shooting at stupid times when moves are developing, he is selfish, and...

'Macca' has always been slightly over rated because he's a cov lad.

You just contracdicted yourself! So you're saying 4-4-2 will be our strength but we have no pace nor crossing ability to complement it!? Therefore, you just pretty much said, 4-4-2 is our strength but don't have the players to play it :confused: When Fleck + Barton + Jennings come into the...

It wouldn't be 'unfair' playing a player who is willing to fight for the cause (winning) than a player who thinks he deserves to get paid for turning up, even if he performs poorly. Personally, I think this would motivate the players more, they know if they win, they'll get just as much...

We're forcing them because we can't AFFORD to keep these players and why would we play, essentially, contract rebels? People who want to DAMAGE OUR CLUB by not agreeing to this!? Are you with the club or players? Obviously it isn't illegal because the players could go to the PFA!

To set the record straight before I say what I'm going to say, I'm not pro-SiSU. Too many people on this forum wait to shoot SiSU down for anything! IMO, I think, for once, SiSU are doing the 'right' thing, cutting wages for players we, in reality, can't afford to keep (if they hadn't signed...

Thanks for the 'news', but I'll take this with a pinch of salt. Make that a handful of salt, not a pinch of salt.

I see what your getting at, it isn't too bad an idea BUT, AT will not play formation.

No, it applies to the C1C, because we should rest key players for a game with signifcance, chances are, we'll get a lower champ side in R2 if we win, which won't generate jack* Also, players need to be rest when and where possible for a couple of reasons: 1) We have a pretty small squad 2) we...

We're not 100% going to win, even if we play are best XI! What can we gain by not playing a full team? Guaranteed no players rested will get injured, the players rested will be fresher, also, players who don't quite fit into Thorn's plans have a chance to impress! The 'we need to gel'...
