So thick, man. I imagine some of the fee might have been based on appearances and achievements, but the idea that they can sell him at them end of the season and only give us £7m is laughable

Would you care to offer an explanation for our move to a more direct style?

I think in footballing terms at least both definitions are required - Steve Claridhe being the archetypal journeyman footballer who has played for loads of clubs at all levels and always been bang average.

Forest 3-0

Sunderland, Palace and Boro down with Bournemouth coming perilously close. With my predictions it only took 34 points to stay up.

What park? Not on here you didn't. There's only Ronaldo who rates the lad. Yeah, so much so I want him replaced in the summer. He's absolutely not as bad as folk make out, though. He's absolute dogshit man!

Dummett is shockingly bad like

I think his physical similarities to Carroll are part of the reason why people like him and want him to do well. With the exception of Ben Arfa, Carroll in his purple patch of form was the player of ours i have most enjoyed watching for years. It was my hope that Mitrovic could come in and do the same, but unfortunatley he cant finish and isn't even that dominant in the air.

You have to score from there like.

He's been ok, just looks a bit clumsy. Who to believe... who to believe. It's like civil war all over again.

Dummett had a good game midweek and there is no legitimate alternative, since Lazaar is an unknown quantity in defence. Gouffran doesnt offer enough going forward, admittedly. You can get away with one or the other in my opinion, but with both of them playing we Have zero threat on that side.

The left hand side lets the whole team down.

Crystal Palace are apparently in for M'Vila.

That's never a red.

Didn't we spend about the same as Aston Villa?

I agree. I'm delighted with the way the suqad is being managed at the moment, everyone who is playing is generally paying well, and those who aren't seem desperate to be included. I suppose it shouldn't be a surprise that a good manager knows how to manage his players in terms of keeping them happy and getting them to perform, but it does take some getting used to after Pardew and McClaren.

While my first choice in this formation would Be Gayle, I wonder if your point about discrupting the team could also be applied to dropping a striker who has scored 4 gols in the last two games? Surely, unless there are concerns over his fitness, Mitrovic has earned the right to start tyhe next game?

Yup but not streaming online...which boils my p*ss. Is there anywhere online to hear this other than through NUFCTV membership? There's a guy on Reddit who streams all the radio commentary. I'll pop the link in here before kick off if you'd like. That would be great, thanks. Live now: http://m.connectcast.tv/Ultra-Rare-Pepe Lovely, ta.

Thanks - i'll give it a go.

Sounds a decent option to me. Rafa clearly wants to play with a target man so we will need someone as backup for when Mitrovic is suspended/out of form. I'm not sure who people think we should/could be signing as a third choice striker when we are in the championship? It is either someone like this with experience or a young striker on loan who could be hit or miss. As a short term stop gap I would go with experience every time. Once were back in the premier league we can start looking at potential again.

Aye, me too. I think pretty much the whole end will be away fans in any case.

for anyone still wanting tickets in the neutral end there are now a load availble in the block next to the away section. It looks like they had planned to an empty strip of seats between the neutral and away fans, but i guess they have ditched that idea since they saw the demand for tickets.
