khiz back in on loan? safer at RB than he was at CB.

we havent lost to WBA either in the league, and with a stronger ref and some luck we could have had all 3 points on monday night.

RIP

i hate the motty chuckles after a shit joke as well.

Barry Davies - brilliant. knowledgable but without being crap and patronising like Motson who for some reason always was rated higher than him. quite like peter brackley - did he do the fifa, or was he pro evolution?

we need to be realistic. promotion is not even remotely guaranteed. we need to focus on getting up and then worry about the premiership.

deja vu

those quotes from the billy davies suggest that they want us to up the bid. why else would they bring "derisory" into the equation. if they didnt want to sell him, just should have said that. dont know how good perch is though.

Who would you play right back though if Simpson leaves? yeah, as posted in anither thread we are very limited until we get in a decent RB. even khish coming back as long as he doesnt play centre back. or use kadar/but new centre half and use staylor at right back. thats our only options other than guthrie if we dont but a new RW or RB

or even get in a centre half (or kadar) and play staylor rt back and rtaylor rw to free up guthrie

you can't play guthrie centre if taylor is rt back. so a RB this jan is a must. if can't find a decent one then would even settle for Khish to come back (as long as we keep him away from centre half) if simpson falls through (though he was awful last night)

i think we have been lucky with injuries in as far as we havent had a few players injured at any one together for any length of time. our back 4 have each played at least 20 matches each and most of the outfield players havent missed too many either. i think i'm just comparing to previous seasons when we've had real problems. this season though i dont think we would be able to cope as every position short other than the strikers picks it self with little or no back up available.

also what is it with refs in this league trying to show that they wont be intimidated at SJP and give the home decisions - pathetic!

am feeling more positive this morning but we have been really lucky with injuries and our best players will start to tire and pick up niggles as a result. GET SOME PLAYERS IN, ASHLEY - IT'S YOUR MONEY THAT GOES DOWN THE PAN IF WE DON'T GET PROMOTED!!!!!!

the lack of a right back and right winger could really stop us getting promoted as it means rtaylor at right back and guthrie rw - leaving smith and nolan ineffective in the middle. an injury to either guthrie or raylor and we're fooked. at least if barton is fit we'll have some legs in midfield - not a fan of his but he can at least move - our central midfield was abysmal last night.

should be made captain next season

would have felt alot more confident with the pace of Lovenkrands

i feel the real reason we havent signed beckford is the fa cup match at ole trafford. turned everything on its head and leeds started getting arsey/cockey. do feel they had a replacement lined up but got greedy thinking clubs would line up to pay £2m+. when that didnt happen ken bates' pride took over and he didnt want to seem weak and accept the original 1.5m

don't think promotion is nailed on at all.

did he mention anything about "outrageous" wage demands?

give him his due, Freddie did make a real effort for O'Neill but he turned it down due family circumstances and geography. how different it could all have been.....

not really bothered if players are nice and cuddly as long as they do their talking on the pitch. on his day he was brilliant, but towards the end his attitude stank - particularly that last away game - cant remember who we played but just remember being really pissed off with him wandering around not wanting the ball - I know he'd had a lot of stick from the fans but shouldnt matter on that wage.

hooray! how he's gotten away with this long is amazing.

how many plymouth fans made it up here last night? they're the ones that need congratulating esp as the weather down there is much worse than here at present.

when we've done poorly this season people have said it's because of the manager - when we've done well then it's always because of the players or the shit opposition. he can't win. saying that - would prefer a proven manager next season.
