Not true, in my opinion. I know we aren't playing well at the moment but I did see signs of improvement.

Yours faithfully, Ian

Goal record is canny, albeit not in the prem. Think I've only seen him a couple of times, but looked a decent player.

I saw a few signs in the Fulham game that we can threaten teams again, some great touches by Smith etc, it just isn't quite clicking yet. Not sure why everyone thinks we won't turn Derby over. No reason to think we won't get a win here, looking forward to the match...

One thing we could do with is someone who can fill in for Beye when he goes to the ACN, to keep Carr on the bench. Maybe Wes Brown could come in partly for that reason.

He just walks like one.

Sadly this is true, I think we'll be seeing a lot more of the big lad from January onwards.

Looking forward to some more of those quotations in future, classics. Should be some good times ahead, interesting to see who he picks...

He could have paid Babayaro for a week or two on that!

Wouldn't call a bad 20 minutes 'being found out' tbh, he'll come back stronger.

Lol. Care to expand? Jason Koumas wouldn't improve our side, he was a very good championship player but hasn't hit it off in the Premiership despite playing for a very poor side, if we have aspirations of getting into Europe we must be looking at a better quality of player. Fair enough, I think he's been pretty impressive this year in the Prem despite playing for a crap team, and he could provide some forward drive to our midfield at a bargain price. Anyway, this thread was about January, sorry!

Lol. Care to expand?

I think a maverick PA Guy should defy orders and stick on Local Hero before the Derby game. The reaction would soon show the club that most people want it back at the start! Go on...

I wouldn't mind Jason Koumas in the summer if Wigan go down, not sure how old he is though.

I'm going again, been last two years and it's been the worst two games of football I've ever seen! I'm a glutton for punishment though... see you all there.

Not saying they're the 'best' but ones I enjoyed watching in recent times and have seen a lot: Cantona Vieira Ronaldo

From Toon, living in Reading working in Oxford now... plan to return to the motherland when a decent job comes up!

nailed on he'll play someone 'out of position', i want mourinho in after 28 games After 42 games I want Keegan back...

Maidenhead Utd costs £9!

I know he might leave, it's just the press constantly repeating the same story when nothing has actually happened that gets on me tits.

It will probably happen eventually, but only after we've created a totalitarian European superstate

I agree with the article's jist, but it does completely gloss over how odd the tactics and selections have been so far. But I suppose that's the definition of a long-term view right? You have to be prepared to put up with the transition period.
