A bit like Manure's scatter gun approach.

Agreed. He seems excited to be playing for us !!

Frazer Cookson goes on one month loan to Nantwich Town.

Sent off after 11 minutes !!

Thought we had a vote and picked that ? Never liked it when we, or Andy Williams, sang it !

A very happy new year to all at Salford City.............now they've got Karl Robinson as manager !! A perfect match !!

Eyersy is his agent ( may have been mentioned previously ).

He's weak enough tackling with his left foot so doubt it would be a career changer for him. Regarding Irwin, if Stuart Pearce had signed for United when they wanted him we may never have heard of Gary Neville !!

He did but was predominantly right footed.

Stones out for 3 months with foot injury sustained on Saturday.

That would rule out the home players then !!

Lightweight, released at end of the season.

It's basically either laziness or thoughtless not throwing the ball directly to feet or passing the ball to a team mate's "wrong" foot when under no pressure. It slows the game unnecessarily.

That's the theory but we're not good at it. Good teams also play on the front foot and show some urgency most of the time not traipse about as if they're on holiday. I'm not overly concerned when we slow the game when leading but we just seem a bit lethargic at times. When we've scored I'd prefer us to push on for a second or third which is a much more effective way of "seeing the game out".

The thing that really annoys me is the time taken over throw ins, goal kicks and corners. Hudson was warned a couple of times on Saturday yet still moved the ball whilst taking a goal kick prompting the inevitable pointless booking and six minutes added on. The lackadaisical body language of our players who saunter around the pitch when the ball is out of play must influence the refs when deciding the amount of time added on, and as such is counter productive. It also subdues the crowd to some extent when they see players strolling about showing a lack of urgency. Just look as if you're on the front foot and we may not be playing after five on a Saturday afternoon.

Story of the Blues, The Mighty Wah.

Could it be temporary due to Frank's Atlantic escapade ?

Looked decent in his two cameos against us but the fact he's played about ten games in the last three years would temper my enthusiasm. Monitor him for the rest of the season and then decide.

He's not athletic enough to press frequently.

Mancini's been out for a long time so it's doubtful he'll start tomorrow and Dieseruvwe is out for another month.

No, @BP1960 stated Gardner needs bringing into midfield which you responded to, but we all know it's not just as simple of writing his name on the team sheet. His delicate nature dictates the number of starts he can make, although I would agree we need our more creative players for home matches to unlock defences.

Don't know if you're being obtuse here Monty but the point I was trying to make was it's just not a case of picking Gardner, he also needs to be fit for selection.

The problem is Gardner's fitness. Most on here agree he's our most creative midfielder though that's not a high bar. We desperately need continuity in selections which means a new body through the door, as managing his fitness must be a nightmare for all concerned.

Exactly right. Everyone has at least thought something similar the really stupid thing is posting it on social media. It's almost as if some footballers are bordering on simple, like they know the rules but choose to ignore them.* * # kickingtheballawayandtakingyourshirtoff

Start with the Tory government, wars and murderers and then move on to footballers. Get your priorities right !
