And it came down with snow on it. Too lightweight!

It does let you open your kid's post though!

I would never go in the Main Stand because of those moaners and I bow to your points Prozac as you travel away a lot, but I think, and the Shrews fans seemed to highlight this, our left back was terrible. It seems that we are all agreed that Jacobson's injury changed the game completely and took the pressure off Mellor. However I don't want our full back to crack under pressure, I want him to take the game to them and thus ensure that his winger has to spend time defending. Sid as we know will not defend adequately but I have made my points re him under another thread, He should play and just attack, he is our best weapon, especially away and if we get a left back in to enable him to do so, good! Re Rodgers, if he was any good, he would be playing in place of Wes, not just cameo roles!

Mellor is not good enough, full stop. We have been short in midfield since day 1. Korey needs some help in there and its been proven after that Shrewsbury first half hour, Rodgers is not the solution to replace Wes

Get that longer contract signed, LJ is getting plenty of plaudits from the opposition!

I remember a goalless draw at Millwall many years ago, that looked like both teams were trying not to win it, mind you it could have been that we were both :censored:e!

He wants the Pompey job

That's a good point about the squad! It tickled me when people were saying LJ never keeps the same team, duh obviously!

His reply when asked about Pompey was; 'I know Guy (Whittingham) well, in fact I used to clean his boots, so do not want to disrespect him by talking about the Pompey job!' BUT My phone number is 07977 777....

Let's go 4-3-3 then! Get Sidney in on Sunday and tell him not to track back. Their defenders wouldn't dare leave him alone once he gets into the game! He is never going to be a conventional wide man, well not in the modern terminology anyway.

KTF Trust the manager!

In my days in the Oldham Sunday League, whenever we told a winger to get back and help defensively, there was only ever 1 reply, 'Not my effing job!' We soon concluded that it was best if they never ever came near to our own penalty area! Get Sidney on and tell him to hit the bye line every time.

Momentum is the best TOOL in the box

very true slider and our next 3 games are all at home to 4th division teams, well Bratford really are!

Commentary on Radio Shropshire, their right back has pulled out ill. Midfielder out injured from Saturday and 2 loanies up front with only 6 subs named. We keep being described as 'IN FORM' OLDHAM. Charlie Mac is in. Rogers playing! His dad is on his way there.

The Premier League and Sky TV have changed the football world forever; for the worst. Wonderful memories!

I tend to agree with that as perhaps Philly might not need a rest plus anybody in front of Mellor (who must play left back) might leave us exposed unless its Dayton

2 Changes are enforced and I think that we can all see Rooney and Mac starting to give the front 2 a rest to get them ready for the 3 home games. Sid for the new lad would be the only shock or maybe not such a shock really! He does have the speed and skill to be quite lethal, lets see it! I really do believe that Sid needs games and we should put up with his lack of defensive attributes in exchange for all he offers going forward

Unfortunately Not. Left back needed urgently to replace Mills, we cannot just sit and wait and hope in January. Left winger if Montano is going to be out, he usually is!

Totally agree with all of that! Lanzoni to play right back, Mellor not so good but can handle that LB position. Overall I like Smith in midfield, most of all!

Grounds will have to play centre back now anyway!

Yes probably true, but a terrible challenge is still a terrible challenge and, from the sound of things if there had been 2 reds, not many would be complaining. Its just that we all get sick of refs who don't know the game

You were negative in not replying to the point of the thread, being to get 3 points, which we did. 'Pretty much' the same but not what I said at all. You still have not mentioned the 3 points so perhaps I should say non-positive rather than negative!

Even if I have to get out my boots and play right back, we will win on Tuesday

Upwards we go!
