I think we have the players capable of qualifying for Europe. There's potential in our backline, despite how shite it is at the moment. O'Neill is one of the best managers in the business at turning bad players into good players; prime example: Matty Elliott. We've got two or three Matty Elliott originals back there at the moment.

Sven Goran Eriksson would get us, aswell as plenty other clubs in this division, into Europe. He's got a cracking record as a club manager. If Roeder were to go (highly doubtful at this point i know), i'd be pleased if we got him.

Agreed!

We've got Champions League prospects. Well, we would do with a better manager.

How did Babayaro play last night?

I think Dyer will help Oba immensely. Well, more the fact that Emre will be dropped is the thing that will help Oba. Emre has been guilty of playing wayward long balls that are simply far too long, added to the fact that we are shite in the air. Ameobi can't hold up the ball, despite his strength and presence, and i don't know where Sibierski got this reputation about heading the ball amazingly well. Martins is supposed to be the guy that is running onto these 'headers' from the opposite strikers... unfortunately, he's had nothing to run onto, which is why we should cut out this mindless long-ball shit - and Emre has been our most guilty player because of it. Dyer is one that will play the ball on the ground, like Zoggy, like Nobby, unlike Emre. I think with Dyer being in the centre of midfield will help Oba and his partner significantly. Oba's movement has been poor, i agree, but no way have i given up on him yet. He's been unlucky infront of goal, but he's clearly got goals in him.

Can't afford to let him go. Our midfield's got good strength in depth and it would be pointless selling him, because we'd have to replace him. And we've got other priorities.

Definitely. Ease him back into the side.

25,000 people. That's a lot of people. Don't really care if it's our lowest attendance. It's not a bad attendance at all considering the circumstances. The weather, the opposition, the current run of form, the prices, the competition, the teamsheet... 25,000s a decent turn-out for such a game, i reckon.

He's a cracking player and really does add so much to our team when he plays. I didn't seem the game last night and i didn't really see how he played, however, on the ITV 'highlights', i saw him make a really good run into the box and have a shot from close range. His finishing's always been shite though. :wink: I'd drop Emre (even though i feel he's having a decent season, just an infuriating) for Dyer, as i feel the Parker-Dyer combo will work. Plus, Dyer works really well with Nobby Solano, and with Nobby, you're always guaranteed a decent ball into the box, whereas with Milner - you never know. What the hell was our midfield line-up yesterday? It said on the teamsheet that it was N'Zogbia, Milner, Butt*, Nobby... who played where? Was Zoggy in the centre? I've only ever seen him play shite in the centre... how did he do today? Baring in mind that he's seemed to have lost all ability to cross the ball... The midfield is looking very good all-round now that Dyer is back in the squad. I hope to God that he stays fit. *EDIT

I'm sure he'll be fine.

It wasn't good but i think the criticism is a bit over the top. I think everybody dives at some points, or just goes over the top, the bad thing was - he's crap at diving! He's young and inexperienced as of yet, and i'm sure it will get out of his game. If he doesn't get rid of it, i'm sure the likes of Roeder will drill it out of him.

Was Taylor at right-back then last night?

ITV + Man Utd = wankfest.

How do you know? did your mate Graeme ring you up and tell you that? Ah that old chesnut. Ahaha, what a laugh. Not. :roll: Get a fucking grip.

Oh God yeah, he should be ashamed. I mean no one else dives. :roll: Yeah he dived, it's not nice, but he didn't get booked and i'm not complaining. He won't do it again.

Good news that he's back, but he won't play.

Spanish club based in Valencia. Or is that not what you were referring to? gay.gif

He's currently parading his thongs at Levante.

Leicester equalise... Villa miss pen.

Luton 3-0 down.

God West Ham are poor.

'Like Haway' ...? Mackem Vicky Pollard?

Agreed... 2-1 at half time to Villa though.

Reading that after reading the thread - i think too many people are jumping to conclusions. Beckham would never come to us, not even if we were in the Top 3. Never mind Bottom 3.
