  1. cant see us going over 5k....be nice if we did,but considering our apathetic fan base,and the fact its cold and its on telly.....dont think it will be high...
  2. i shall be in the rre end as usual,done my time in the chaddy.... im 44 and ill be singing shouting and getting behind them......i just dont think it will sound that loud in the chaddy from the rre....
  3. we failed yet again to play the conditions....just like we did the other week when it was blowing a gale....instead of making our passing precise we always seem to want to lump it in the air... kuqi needs a rest,end of hes knackered....confidence shot to pieces...if were not gonna bring clarke in i would be looking for another striker to come in and play along simpson... parkers been out for a while so needs games to get back into it...scappuzzis off the boil as well,in recent weeks he has been fine and made good passes and got into good positions.... just a shame we couldnt squuze a goal in yesterday,if thats the start of our 6 week defining season were knackered....lose to chesterfield next week n seasons over...
  4. lee was switched to left back for the anfield game to combat bellamy down the wing....and adeyemi at right back because he was more physical.... you only have to go back to chesterfield at home to see lee is best on the right...overlappin the winger getting crosses in and firing in a cracking drive... if he doesnt rate black or mellor then why keep picking them for the bench??? surely you would throw someone in from the stiffs... black has a tendancy to go inside a lot and leave the flank wide open,he isnt the tallest of players and opposing teams simply hit a diagonal ball over his head and there free to cross at will. mellor was doing fine but for some reason had a dip in confidence,and never been the same since,maybe being linked with prem clubs made him big headed... agree though if were not gonna play either of them and clarke isnt coming back then a natural left footer is needed...
  5. its not what anybody wants to see...if indeed and it seems so that was dickovs plan,then i wouldnt of started with kuqi....he knackered and out of form,let the big lad have a go again like at chesterfield... plus dickovs comment of if it isnt broke why fix it....was inevitable the more the game went on the more likely they was to score,because they brought on players that could make a difference.....we dont have them.... moraise should of come on for parker after 60 mins,smith for kuqi after 70 mins.....just for fresh legs and different ideas,dont wait until we go behind and panic for 5 mins..
  6. very hard to have a 5 year plan these days....like you say players on short term deals,are like mercenarys now,spend 3 or 6 months somewhere and if it isnt happening move on... reid was workin well with kuqi,but tearing his muscle was bad timing...were just too inconsistant,and barely have a settled side. think if we can get simpson to sign perm,and keep most of our decent players for next season,bring in 3 or 4 quality signings could give it a real go next season...depends how patient people are prepared to be.
  7. simpson was exactly what we was lacking yesterday....no forward drive or when we did manage to get it down the sides once or twice there was nobody breakin a leg to get into the box..... kuqi has been very average for a while now....smiths nowhere near ready,and reids out injured... moraise is a luxury player,and does very little in most games,scapuzzi isnt the fastest,but he does have good feet and turns well makin space for himself... i'd forget about clarke and i would be looking to bring another striker in....if not then dickov n corney need to stop bangin on about the playoffs,cos it aint happening....mid table finish and a day out at wembley wont be too shabby a season this year.
  8. scapuzzi was one of the better players yesterday,trying to take on there players switching from side to side and trying to create something,and broke up there play well....so doesnt he deserve a full game??? first touch was awful yes....so was kuqi's shooting.....taylor playing wide???? last time i looked he was a winger,isnt he supposed to play out wide.... we played the quick pass game 3 or 4 times but there was no outlet in the end....pumping the ball upfield when smith came on..what for the whole 4 mins???? the ball was in the air most of the game for some reason....head tennis and constant miscued clearances... we set out for a draw had a plan to stop rhodes and it worked well until lee came on.....
  9. you will be playing us again next season,because quite honestly....your crap... you had one effort on goal in first half,we had lot more chances but kuqi brought his 50p boots,just needed a barn door and a banjo and he would have been right.... the only difference was today our manager had settled for a draw after about 60 mins....and kept the team together instead of making subs,kuqi was knackered and doing nothing,parker was doing nothing,so we needed to change it.....and we couldnt....you brought on a sub and scored...other than that i thought it was a very poor game from both teams....
  10. if found guilty he will be banned for life and could even face a prison sentance.... now liverpool club....well the fa have already banned suarez for 8 games and 1 game respectively....so if they wanted to im sure they could fine them heavily and or throw themout of the competition.....
  11. you best have a word with dickov his staff n the players then,cos they all been bangin on about playoffs for a while now.....even though 99% of us fans know it aint gonna happen..... why didnt mvoto play??? was named in 18 man squad then not even on the bench???? id rest kuqi for county and give smith a run out....hes 35 and needs a rest... cant single anyone out for praise really from yesterday,all as bad as each other.....only decision i have to make is wether to waste another 20 quid on saturday.
  12. over confidence and a "we only have to turn up and we have won this" attitude will undo all the hard work we have put in recently.. chesterfield got walloped and rightly so,but with a wembley showpiece in the running for the winner they wont be as easy to beat as some are thinking... i hope we play second leg at home....1 or 2 goal advantage from first leg and who knows....
  13. 3 points off the playoffs just makes it a bit more frustrating by the points we have dropped so far....we should be already in there... great game great goals....showed today if kuqi has an off day we can still score and cause trouble... also showed how important furman is,went back to being too deep and gave too much space away when he went off... cant see us being too far off playoffs if we carry on like this though
  14. by his standards he had a pretty average game....dont think he really got going like he has in recent weeks,but you have to expect it every once in a while.... good to see players gettin narked when not playing well,instead of hiding...
  15. dont think thats going to happen but considering all the hype surrounding the announcement and subsequent ruling on the land etc..then i think the least the club should do is just update periodically,whether its just,were still sounding out investors,were looking over stadium designs,or at this moment in time there is nothing new to tell... maybe there pinning there hopes on doing well in the jpt and hoping the extra revenue and that helps it along
  16. good for you,say it how it is.... im firmly in the for it camp...i was lucky enough to see us play in the old wembley..and lets be realistic here...this is probably the only chance we got of going to the new one...my sons 13 he doesnt associate latics with success so if we get there ill be chuffed for him actually seeing us achieve something..at the end of the day its a cup final,bit of extra revenue and bit of extra media coverage..
  17. second half maybe,first half he went missing.... i dont know whether its me,or what the definition of a winger is,but i thought it was someone who played out wide got chalk on there boots and ran down the flank firing crosses in.. saturday after the sending off he was crap for rest of half,constantly going into middle of field hiding and leaving the wing exposed,which bury used to there advantage to get forward easy and fire crosses over....had he stuck to thw ing he would of forced bury to go down the middle.... second half fair enough,apart from his blatant dive he improved....he just needs to put in a full shift....
  18. diamonds not played well since he got here..he is crap....constantly out of position and bad decision making....the keeper shouldnt have had to make a decision to come out for the ball,the defender should have got it first.... taylor...second half ok he improved..first half constantly wandered infield leaving the flank wide open for them to race down and cross,had he stuck to his position they would have been forced to come down the middle where we would have broke it down.... you wont have to worry about mellor playing crap,hes gone in january to a prem side he is that bad!!!!
  19. thought first half was pretty poor really...no urgency,players not pressing them..wycombe were poorest team ive seen for a while...should have been 2 up by half time but we lacked any desire.... for once dickovs halftime talk must have worked,second half was 100% better...should of been more goals...kuqi quiet second half mainly,thought smith should have come on sooner..moraise...dont get it....dickov said he should be fit for tuesday as will zander diamond..i wouldnt rush him back for tuesday,mvoto was good yesterday...
  20. nope your not...got into ground right on kickoff..sorted seats out then went for 3 cheeseburgers....sorry we dont do burgers.... they did last season...so had to have 3 pies.....cheese n potato!!! they had about 18 pies left bang on kick off...i asked for a hotdog they said..not ready until half time....wont bother next time £7.50 for 3 pies is a joke.
  21. you better let pd know this expectation then because he has his sights firmly set on top 6,going off his own comments so far this season..... yes i agree,anything other than relegation is a bonus...we are a team in transit,but this will only work if pd is here for the long haul like big joe was....if pd gets sick of it,then im sure he would find a job elswhere then we are back to square one again... at the end of the day,if the team is inconsistant and not doing the basics right,then you swap and change them,you dont carry on regardless hoping that the next game they will listen.
  22. i agree,if your playing football for a living and proffessional at that then you have a certain responsibility to uphold.. if there not listening,then identitfy them,im sure he already knows,but he has to start doing something about it,if that is dropping them to the ressies then so be it... whilst we dont have a really good strong in depth squad,we should still be able to swap players between 2 teams ie the ressies... we had this with shez and we all know how that ended.
  23. lets hope so eh...and we have furball to come back in yet...lets hope its good news all round...
  24. he should stick with mvoto n clarke,diamonds dodgy to say the least....but i bet he doesnt...
