They played this at half time the other week.

Jol will be gone I reckon.

Seem's harsh. They've played a lot of the top teams and the new chairman hasn't given him any reinforcements. 

He's a decent manager, not sure what better Fulham can attract?

BOOM! 

who else but Jet?

Where on earth would we be without the guy? and what a guy he is.

MAN LOVE.

it's my birthday today, I wonder if anybody will ruin it.

Happy birthday Es.

Dj booth having a laugh... "Wake me up when it's all over"

Gash for 40 minutes, picked up last 5. Hope they come out with that urgency. If they don't then bye bye SOD, much as I want it to work.

Wilson is utter shite.

I'd honestly tear up his contract ASAP. He's not gonna make it anywhere above league 2.

Useless.

they didnt start together he started baldock and taylor he brought on davies in the first alf when taylor got injured

That was Saturday...

...Sean is disguise?

Haha, can we see if it works before I take any if the blame?

........................ Heaton

Maloney . Carey . Fonts (just) . Cunningham.

........ Kelly. Kilkenny. Skuse.

..................Anderson

..............Baldock . Taylor.

Anderson has freedom to move into channels, Skuse and Kelly step across to help the full backs when needed.

Keeps us strong centrally and keeps two up front, alternatively you can replace Anderson with Burns and drop Taylor a touch deeper for two poachers or drop Taylor for Burns and play them wider but up front.

Well... I can't complain at any point today can I...

Which would mean we would ideally have to play four in midfield which doesn't work often. Baldock up top with Killa playing balls through and Skusey and Kelly behind him for cover.

Depends on whether you play wingers really, would happily see us with a packed central area and try keep the ball a bit longer.

Didn't we finish 3rd that season and reach a play off final?

Stats can be manipulated to support any side of an argument. If you compare like for like and compare Millen's 12 league games at the start of the season with McInnes' last 12 league games (or our current form, if you prefer), the results are much closer:

Millen W1 D3 L8 6pts from 12 = 0.5/game

McInnes W3 D2 L7 11pts from 12 = 0.92/game

Projecting our current form over the 15 games remaining gives a return of 13.75pts (let's be generous and say 14 points)

That's only a total of 45 points and while I think that may probably be enough, I'm still of the opinion it will go to the wire. I think a lot depends on whether McManus can improve our form and patch the defence to concede less.

Closer? It's just under double!!

And yet we are 14th (or equal 12th) in the championship form table for the last 8 games.

Others are doing worse and a win at Peterborough would pull a couple more teams into it.

Pompey are 19th in the form table and about to lose 10 points - they may be in big trouble now.

If we can maintain just over 1 point average per game, we will be ok.

The awkward moment when someone brings some facts into a doomsday discussion on OTIB.

You've been around long enough, Cynic, to know that that is not acceptable.

WE ARE DOOOMED.

I agree with the OP. Allardyce is a tool, and needed to acknowledge that the game was end-to-end and not the backs to the wall stuff that he imagined it to be.

They had a couple of spells of pressure, but so did we. There were a lot of quality chances missed by both teams, and it was an even game, If someone who knew nothing of our league and our respective positions saw that game they wouldn't believe we're as far apart in the division as they are.

And Mr Tansley, please stop posting on this forum as you are clearly not a Bristol City fan.

Clearly.

However, he was happy to admit they robbed Brighton at their place the other week and "scored with our only real chance". Yet he went on to say what a brilliant away performance that was.

It's just the usual case of tunnel vision, rose tinted glasses and the we are West Ham and deserve to win every game mentality.

Typical allardyce, expect nothing else.

That's ridiculous. Even if it was there only chance they kept an away clean sheet against a decent side.... That usually constitutes a good away performance.

So again, he's right.

They hit the post, piquionne missed 3 decent chances, Noble and Nolan should have scored. They could have won by 6.

Isn't it equally "cocky" that we are proclaiming this as some sort of wonder performance and rarely acknowledging the chances that were missed by WHU's poor finishing as opposed to our good defending?

No, of course it isn't. It's just focussing on OUR teams performance, exactly what big Sam is doing.

He's right though, the game could easily have been 4-0 to them considering the guilt edged chances they fluffed, equally we missed 3 decent chances.

Why wouldn't he see it like that? It's not his job to praise the opposition, del boy won't be.

Would Guardiola do quite as good a job at another club? Wasn't hard to add to what Rijkaard built...

cue breaking news on SSN, 30 minutes late, league 2 beckons i fear hope.

Bloody typical ain't it...

they haven't even been deemed a big enough story to oust canada beating Kenya on the Skysports breaking news bar! hahahahahahaha!

Personally, considering his wages, transfer fee and his age I think he wouldn't be a cost effective move.

Rumours have his wages anywhere as high as £30k a week, I doubt it's quite that high, but still. We might be on a very healthy financial footing but those wages are not a trend we should be following if we want to be sustainable.

His age (he's 30 isn't he?) means he doesn't have long left as a top end striker, and while he might have the guile and experience a younger player would lack I'd personally like to see us going with players who have a chance of retaining their value.

No doubting he would be a good foil for Maynard, his record is pretty decent. But finance, age and even his abject loan spell at Reading last season would cause me to look elsewhere.

he is an absolut moron, i don't think iv ever hated a footballer quite as much, and that is nothing to do with yesterday,

diving little gobsh!te with a really nasty attitude, he should have been sent off for his barrage of abuse toward the referee(what happened to getting tough on these iddiots after ass cole and mascha???)

he is dirty and really an annoying little git, sort of player i think ruin football

right out of the tiny pen!s mould
