Not dynamic, risk taking or exciting to watch. Didn't expect us to win today but it was basically a "free hit" and a chance to really have a go and be adventurous. All very dull and downbeat. Hopefully we have to go through this period before things improve but after a couple of "false dawns" it is worrying and the list of people to blame is narrowing.

Far better than the horrendous black 2nd kit we currently have. I would like us to keep purple and lime every year as our 2nd kit, we could do stripes, hoops, Arsenal sleeves etc.

I respect your opinion.

He indeed should be playing as the 2nd striker and should be the first name on the team sheet in that position - IMO.

The season was over in terms of a top half finish as soon as he was injured last season. Our best player by a country mile.

Hartlepool away FA Cup - lost 0-1 and a 0-0 at Stockport wins the dullest away game ever !!

This one.

I believe he has quite a varied role including some coaching but sure keeping tabs on the foreign markets would be included, he also played in the MLS for a bit.

Cisse.

All teams below under 18's are still at SGS. Plan is for all age groups to be up at HPC asap but need to sort indoor facilities.

He could well retire to focus on his health and other business interests - IMO.

He is deceptive on that front, puts in "Bolt like" sprints in 85th minute of games after looking done in for the previous hour.

Very worrying that the injuries are piling up again. Deja vu ! Baker Conway Semenyo Massengo Wells and possibly COD again

He does seem to spend an enormous amount of time "spinning around" looking where the ball has just gone.

Correct.

Why does Pearson not play Palmer ?

But he wasn't good enough for us at the time - Now in our current state then yes he probably is.

Yes fair enough, can only really judge over a full season but i stand by my point about dreary but not necessarily negative in terms of chances and shots created.

As I thought.

Not that I was a fan of the post Man City LJ "over coaching" that went on but passing the ball sideways and backwards is not necessarily negative. Dreary I agree but it would be interesting to see the shot on target stats from LJ and Pearson eras.

My 8 year old has kept the faith despite not even seeing us score on our last 4 visits too AG. I have never seen him so excited as he was when we scored today. He's hooked.

I would assume that they had done homework on our weakness in the full back areas. They would have planned to play the same way and attack certain weak spots of ours regardless of team selection - IMO.

Neo Liberal Capitalism you could say !

Interesting comparison.

But 2 wins from 8 (including being knocked out of the Cup by a league 2 team) doesn't sound quite so good - just saying.
