You can pick and choose statistics to suit an argument it’s a waste of time. I could say Mccleary 300+ champ appearances, obita 150 signed when 29. Scowen 150 champ appearances. Mawson went back to them earlier in the season this isn’t about when he was 20.

I've simply added some substance to a simple list that you provided, unsure why you seem to get so defensive when anyone replies to you. Stats are backing up my point!!

It is pretty obvious to everyone who seems to be looking in that Wycombe are pretty skint, they are searching for players that are either past their prime but still have ability, have had injury issues so are cheap, OOC, free, cheap etc etc etc. Yet you seem to think they weren't, or aren't punching above their weight. That have massively overachieved with what they have.

As for Mawson playing for Wycombe this season - it pretty much proves the point being made, he made 11 appearances for us and got injured, he re-signed for Wycombe this season. A huge risk for any club signing him and taking a punt and then he got injured and retired. 

Again, would you be happy if Pearson signed any, or all of the ones on your list?

A mate of mine (sadly a Gashead) has informed me that a group of wives (all Gasheads) are going to Ashton Gate tomorrow for the England Womens game. They have tickets for the Lansdown Stand and have never been to the Gate before. There must be quite a few others going too.

Wouldn’t it be good to see their faces and listen to their reactions as they enter the concourse.

What do you think their first comments would be?

Also to see the husbands faces when they get home and tell them what it is really like.

Sam Vokes, Gareth Mcleary, Jordan Obita, Josh Scowen, Alfie Mawson, Jordan Willis, Lewis Wing - all with 100+ championship appearances. This idea they have no money just isn’t true.

Mccleary - 33yo when he signed for them and out of contract

Vokes - 32yo  (previous season only 5 starts and 1 goal all season in the Championship)

Obita - 23 appearances in the 3 previous seasons in the Championship

Scowen - 2 seasons in League one before signing for them

Mawson - signed on loan in League 2 at aged 20, after spells on loan in the conference (hardly a Championship player then)

I would be interested to hear your comments if Pearson went and signed any of them, and told us all that they were Championship class players when they were signed. You seem to think everyone seems to go overboard with praise on here, yet it looks like you have gone way, way, way OTT with your assessment of Wycombe Wanderers imo.

Are they looking for land or another Stadium grab?? They want to find one, not build one?

The most bizarre poster for years was @Deluded Sag. A fortnight of constant abuse and bullshit and now haven’t heard from them for weeks. Confusing as getting less than 8k of your own through the turnstiles when you are “promotion chasing”.

He's been on multiple times since getting owned a few weeks ago, but stopped posting (cannot think why).

I thought it was pretty much agreed it was Flapper himself.

Is @Miah Dennehy ok? He seems to have gone missing lately.

I'm sure a couple of months ago I read multiple times how great the football was under St Joey, and some of the most entertaining stuff he's ever witnessed. 

TBF I am finding it quite entertaining at the moment myself, so keep up the good work Joey.

Fair point - they had gone on a blip - but 3 of those games were during time where speculation was rife about his future which may have impacted performances. As you say, we'll never know.

I had seen them early on v Hull City and they were excellent. Organised, attacking minded and very comfortable with ball at foot. Quite the contrast to now, it must be said. One of my best friends is a QPR season ticket holder and can't believe what they are serving up at present.

I think they have just got enough to see them safe, but if there is another weekend like this one just gone, where all the bottom sides got points - they will be soon looking over their shoulder, unless the new manager can come in and get the best out of the group. 
 

Agreed that speculation wouldn't have helped. 

I watched one of their games and they were superb and that may have been before we played them. They should get enough points to stay up and you'd have to expect them to get some points out of the games against the teams below them, but it wouldn't be the biggest shock to see them dragged down right into it. If they go behind/lose on the weekend at home then the atmosphere could get extremely toxic if it hasn't already.

Didn't we lose 8 in a row not that long back?

We've had some shockers, but with our streaks we used to have some winning/unbeaten ones under LJ I'd be surprised if we had a run of 17 games with only 9 points. I think our worst run under NP was when we were already safe, so without discounting it, there were a few other factors at play too.

Hardly their fault that Beale decided to leave after 3 months when Rangers came calling. Was he still at the helm, I've no doubt QPR would comfortably in the top 6.

None of us will know, but before he left he did lose 4 from 5 and that was against Brum, Coventry, WBA (they were awful back then)  and Hudds, and that was the start of their rapid downfall. I still cannot see them being anywhere close to where they are now though if he did stay, but think they have had a lot of injuries as well. The new manager really needs some sort of bounce as player and club confidence must be so low, if they don't get some points soon it could get very twitchy for them.

That's the type of sublime to ridiculous run that we've managed too often in the past.

I'm not sure if we have even been on one that bad? It does seem an extraordinary run they are on.

I didn’t realise they were doing so badly, they were near the top earlier this season

On Oct 22nd after beating Wigan they were top after 16 games and had 30 points.

So in their last 17 games they've managed to get 9 points, that is just mental.

They have been truly awful and confidence must be rock bottom, and if they don't get a new manager bounce they could find themselves in a relegation scrap. They have a few 6 pointers as well coming up  - Rotherham away, Blackpool away, Brum Home, Wigan away in their next 6 games. 

Just put me on ignore and leave me on ignore. I haven't done, or said anything wrong whatsoever.

If you want to dish it out then you can have some back and it's fair game. Why you are so upset I don't really know, maybe nobody ever has a little go back at you and you simply cannot take it, for someone who is open to debate it seems very odd behaviour though.

Unsure why you have had to send me a DM with an expletive in telling me to give it a rest when you are dishing it out yourself. All you needed to do was give it a rest yourself rather than bringing a post up 5 hours after it was posted. Do you honestly not expect nobody to reply to you when you quote them? It's an open forum, and if you don't like it then I'm afraid it isn't my problem.

You could have easily left it alone yourself, but you chose not to.

Absolutely rattled.

Yeah definitely. I'm sure anyone who can bebothered to even read any of this will be thinking "that Percy got that other fella rattled". 

Maybe you should re-read your posts after putting me on a 4 hour ignore. You've completely lost the plot.

2 minutes ago, Percy Pig said:

Here's how it works, you strange little man. 

Thanks for that. I think most know how the ignore facility works - the point is when you put someone on ignore the reason is for you to ignore them. To then read their posts and quote them, and then keep responding (whilst claiming they are on ignore), sort of defeats the purpose doesn't it - and quite frankly is a little bit embarrassing.

To help you out a little:

Just now, Percy Pig said:

Yes, I'm an alcoholic because you don't have a clue how a piece of functionality works. 

You are embarrassing yourself here, fella. 

I'm still on ignore I see, twice now, or is it thrice? Ignore on, ignore off, ignore back on, he's posted so ignore back off, sod that I'll stick to my word and put him back on ignore, oh balls he's posted again so better get that ignore back off so I can respond and tell him he's back on ignore.

No wonder why you are called Percy Pig - it's all those massive porkies you tell.

And I'm embarrassing myself here. Brilliant.

Use of the word ‘snowflakey’ .  

Awful word indeed,

I simply used it because I was called it by @Northern Red earlier when I responded to @Percy Pig in another thread, and he/she went through my profile to find my post on here about Qatar.

You're a very strange person. 

All you've done is insult me, call me names. Before the above post I have replied with two words and an emoji to you. You're getting very worked up over a post that wasn't even that controversial. 

Think you've got the issue here, mate. As I said, you're on ignore. It's not an insult, hence me recommending you do the same to me, its just evident that you and I will not be able to have a conversation about anything so why bother? I've not seen you post anything I've found valuable or insightful and judging by your responses to me, you find me infuriating. So let's just not interact? 

If that's "snowflakey" (whatever the hell that playground nonsense means) then I'm a blizzard. 

To quote you earlier: "You don't need to reply". 

Good grief.

You must tell porkies for a living as more things get made up each time you post.

If I'm on ignore how are you reading and quoting my posts? Silly me asking a question, when you obviously won't see it.....

I think you better contact the admin as your "ignore" facility simply isn't working. Again, silly me giving you advice when I'm on ignore as you won't see it.....

Must be a Tennents Super Sunday in the PP household.

No win, you see the difference between me and yourself is I don't think I have any right to tell you what to say and where to say it. I honestly couldn't give less of a shit about you or your opinion. 

You on the other hand feel obliged to interject into other peoples conversations and dictate where they should present them despite not being a moderator. 

I simply thought it funny to note how much of a raging hypocrite you are. 

I do note how you've lied there, though. I responded to the third post about the subject of Warnock's toryism. I made a small and fairly insignificant interjection that disputed the point made by another poster. (A debate, if you will). 

That you clearly feel so guilty about your own voting record that you feel it necessary to attempt to shut down any debate, light hearted or otherwise, on the subject is about the only interesting thing about your input so far. 

I've added you to "ignore". I advise you reciprocate. 

You ok hun? Been on the Source for the afternoon by any chance?

Shame you've put me on ignore (how will I cope) and just decided to make up a load of stuff, as you really seem one of those people who are very open minded and open to any sort of debate and criticism, what was it, a huge 3 posts and then the "you're on ignore", so very adult. 

Very snowflakey....

Bit of a political post, take it to the other forum. 

Oh dear.

Got to love the ones who get criticised, whose first thought is to search someone's posting history and try and find some "gotcha" moment.

A little bit snowflakey,....

Anyone could quite easily argue that this topic should be in the Politics forum and I wouldn't be surprised if it got moved, especially when the opening post is about Qataris buying a club in the UK.

Not sure how it's some sort of gotcha moment when you have actually gone out your way to shoehorn in those pesky Tories into a thread about Warnocks clothing though.

Still each to their own. If it makes you feel better you claim it as some sort of win.

Spot on.

If you look at the relegation battle in our division everyone is picking up points.

The bottom 5 in their division are shite, Forest Green have already gone, then Morecambe, Cambridge & Accrington are all struggling big time. MK Dons have picked up a bit but no way will a couple of these sides catch them.

The bigger point is this, some clowns on here were predicting a Bristol Derby next season or even us swapping divisions.

Their team changes each transfer window as 5 of them are different loan players, alongside his collection of Scouse ex-Fleetwood dross, they are going nowhere under the convict, he’s a mediocre manager who gets publicity because of his history & social media presence.

He has to do it again in a few months if he is still there too. They only have one player that is so called worth anything so he will be gone with any half decent offer too.

Just imagine if they did even go up. The loan players would probably still be gone, and he would have to try and replace them with even better players for next to nothing and compete with Championship clubs for probably the same players. Wage demands will be a lot higher across the board, who could he even attract in the Championship with their ground. I honestly think it would be quite funny if they went up, as it would put them further behind and in even more debt.

Rovers play Port Vale at the end of April. Matty Taylor is on loan at Port Vale. Imagine him scoring the goal that sends them down….

Let's hope his actual club on Saturday does a job first.

The teams at the bottom are just so poor I doubt Rovers need many more points to stay up anyway, would love to be wrong as they are in freefall but they will pick up some points somewhere. Last season at the same point Morecambe were on 30 points from 32 games in the last relegation place so pretty much the same, and they stayed up with 42 points, Fleetwood stayed up on GD on a paltry 40 points.

I remember a flurry of Leicester fans hopping on the forum when NP joined and one of them pretty much nailed it… it will take a bit of time but he’ll build a squad ready to run through brick walls for the shirt.

Also many of their fans said he would build the whole Club, and that is exactly what has/is happening.

Too many questions.

Maybe for someone who simply cannot answer them. So if it is easier I'll list a simple 3 for you.

Sunderland were missing their best player seems to be an excuse that they never beat us, so for balance, did we have any injuries?

Did selling Semenyo just a few games ago make any difference to us or doesn't that count? 

As for being 15th, what did you (or your previous username) expect this season with the squad that was available at the start of the season?
