OneSizeFitz

Not entirely sure of the wisdom in throwing a 19 year-old centre-half - who's never played a professional game before - straight into a relegation dogfight, myself. Perfectly content with him being here as cover.

Chris Killen scored 16 in 25 for Hibs after leaving us, can't say I miss him much.

Certainly looks as though we don't fade towards the end of games as much as we did under Dickov; perhaps Johnson's finally sorted out the chronic lack of fitness we've suffered from in recent years. *we, being the club. He's done nothing for my chronic lack of fitness.

...he's out of Linfield's academy. He even represented their first team. He's no more 'one of ours' than Brown is.

Douglas, Baldock (S), Vincelot.

You win.

Ever seen him play?

Could well be a loan fee.

Some people are just so witty.

I'd far rather someone paid their 20 quid and then buggered off than them not turn up at all.

...there's definitely a lesson to be learned here.

Thanks for letting us know.

It's actually not. His current deal expired in the Summer of 2015. His new deal expires in the Summer of 2018. So it's only 3 years added onto his current deal, but the deal itself lasts for 4 and a half years.

The OS says it's a deal until the summer of 2018, so it's actually a four-and-a-half year deal.

...nah, it's definitely the knobheads in the stands.

Oxley's the least of our worries at the minute...

My thoughts exactly.

Echo the sentiments above. In his time here, Cliff's conducted himself with the utmost decorum and professionalism. The period post the sacking of Dickov's backroom staff last December he stepped up to the plate in a coaching capacity, alongside his role as a player, and helped drag the club through what was undoubtedly a tricky spell. Although he was never necessarily the most technically gifted player, he always gave 100%, and I suspect his experience and influence on the younger players will be sorely missed. All the best, Cliff.

With Wes, Smith and Harkins all playing?

...or may even keep them up.

I'd have been distinctly happy with a last-minute equaliser, and a very good point away at Walsall. Seemingly, you wouldn't have been.

If Rooney's penalty goes in, do you post this?

Where've you got that from? I make it 32...

Thought he did okay today. Some nice touches, and put in more of a shift than I was expecting. Suspect he'll excite and frustrate in equal measure, but at this level, I'll take that. Decent home debut, Gary.

The fact that Rooney has only got on the end of 11 crosses in 34 games tells its own story. Yes, perhaps the quality of our crossing isn't brilliant, but even still, he should be doing better than that. You'd expect a better return from set-pieces alone.
