  1. Gary Hoolickin,middle,right. damn it he moved to the back
  2. I watched Allessandra play in the pre season and was very impressed with him! picking up a bad injury was really unfortunate for him,i guess we would have seen a lot more of him otherwise. You are right Spadam,he gave a really lively display last night.
  3. Not at all DF,i i haven't totally lost the plot
  4. If it was so idiotic to suggest,before the Huddersfield game,pushing Mcdonald forward to play alongside Davies in Hughes' absence then i hold my hands up! my thinking was that Mcdonald has a greater physical presence and eye for goal than Smalley,who in my opinion is more suited to playing on the right.
  5. Ok LAD,sure i have seen that before(nevermind).I will heed your advice and get myself down to BP for the next home game. Indeed just as i have for the last twenty eight years or so. Would be a pleasure to meet you there
  6. The thought of being wrong eh BB? too hard to stomach? You really are a beauty....
  7. If he has the chance to move up a level,the lad should take it! Since coming in to the team Trotters has performed admirably and does seem to have a huge amount of potential. I would love him to stay,but we really do need to strengthen the squad! If selling him allows us to bring in two or three other players then i would wish the young man the best of luck and get on with developing our other talented youngsters
  8. Go on,give it to Mcdonald! even though you would rather knock him (and most posters you come into contact with) at every opportunity.Maybe he should have played up front before!!! (remember?) Maybe you are not the football genius that you would have us all believe
  9. The problem we have at the moment is a lack of experience! The three young lads,Smalley,Wolfie and Allessandra are good young players all of them. Unfortunately,we can't afford to carry these kids,that is not a swipe at their ability but a statement of fact. Shez often speaks of the value of having Crossley behind his defence to both encourage and instruct them.These young forwards have nobody talking to/helping them(with the possible exception of Hughes!) It is a fact that we miss experienced campaigners like Liddell and Gregan,these are the players who can bring the best out of the youngsters. What we need to find hopefully within the next few days are a couple of very experienced players,who will hopefully provide a better balance of youth and knowledge of the game.
  10. I would prefer to see him on the right wing and push Mcdonald up alongside Davies
  11. Also,where is the option that Shez leaves for a bigger club,Ronnie returns and completes year 2 of his plan, gaining promotion automatically!!!
  12. You are right Cecere,indeed Warne's workrate and commitment couldn't be doubted and i fully believe that he would have still been with us if he was a little younger(sure i read a statement from Shez that confirms this!)
  13. When was the last time Beckham skinned anybody before crossing for a goal! it is the quality of the cross/pass that matters,not the ability to run a sub 10 second 100 metres!!!
  14. I will be looking forward to seeing him again myself, Diego
  15. Although i was a big fan of Warne,i still believe that the decision to release him was the right one! Shez has replaced him with a much younger player in Davies(who has already notched as many goals as Warne scored last term,with half a season to play) Given better all round team displays during the first half of this season i think that Davies would have scored more goals and contributed more to the team. Maybe we need Liddel back,to provide better service for the strikers
  16. I am not saying that it is all doom and gloom,merely making the point that todays performance was poor to say the least! If and indeed when Shez brings new players into the squad we should hopefully see an improvement,as for the ten men today!for most of the game Brighton played with two forwards (hardly pulling everyone back behind the ball,was it!) Still,Yeovil to look forward to next week....
  17. Quite,a draw against Brighton's ten men!(ten men that coped for the biggest part of the game easily with us and then managed to snatch a point)
  18. Today was a dreadful performance,apart from one moment of brilliance from Hughes we were a disgrace! Against ten men for 80 minutes or whatever was,how many efforts did the Brighton keeper have to deal with? Anyone who doubted the value of Kilkenny to the team/club should now realise that his departure has left us in serious trouble.
  19. I am happy with the draw,can't understand why anyone would think it is crap! after all,it gives all the boundary park moaners a chance to sretch their vocal chords again! Pretty sure that Stitch has a lot more to worry about than we do. Onwards and upwards
  20. I would go with Bertrand,there is more opportunity to establish himself at left back,maybe not with Chelsea but with a premiership club. Would wish both players all the very best as they have BOTH been excellent while with us!
  21. Quite Garcon,a bad patch!how some fans can say that he is not interested or lazy is mind blowing. Admittedly Davies has turned in a couple of below par performances recently but after Shez made the switch to 4-3-3,Davies was always going to be dragged out wide. What we haven't been able to do recently is make the most of his pace by getting him in behind the oppo central defenders. Also for some to suggest that we try to offload him in the transfer window amounts to shooting ourselves in both feet. Play to his strenghths and Davies will shine!
  22. Maybe the fact that we haven't one other creative footballer in the club other than KK makes his odd poor game stand out.without him in the team this season we would have been right at the bottom of the pile. Show me an alternative and then maybe we could live without him .
  23. I am with Coco too,(not) get a grip folks,you can't single out individuals for a totally inept team performance like we witnessed today.
  24. There is also the fact that the service to both Davies and Hughes has pretty much all season been dire! admittedly,today he didn't look interested! Today Walsall were there for the taking! just shows how bad a display this was from the whole team. Roll on Jan 1st,have had enough of this year.
