no time to read all 7 pages so apologies if it's already been said but, as much as I'd love Trotman to stay £350-500k for a player who's only played a handful of games and is out of contract in the summer has got to be taken, especially after what happened with Porter.

that said, why not offer him about between now and Thursday and try to push the price up?

Santa Cruz for the rest of the season will do very nicely thanks! I think that H****s still owes us a large one!!

tiny minds think alike

Blackburn would be good, maybe we could get a loan back sort of deal out of them for the rest of the season.

nah, £100k plus Santa Cruz

Hudds (A) 0-3

Leeds (A)

Everton (A)

Forest (H)

Tranmere (A)

it's a surprise anyone can co0me up with 5 games if the D&G'ers are to be believed!

If he went I would go for Steve Cotterill

thank god it won't be up to you then

And so the finale,Hudds will make a million or more,i think its fair to say with ANY balls the club could have sugned a decent striker and he would have payed for himself in 90mins.

 

utterly distgusted and if troman goes for 350k then the motives of these owners will be clear for all to see

 

and yes they can whistle for my money if they sell at that price.

 

words dont describe the way this club is being run

 

*cue abuse from the lemmings

*****FAO Admin*****

as much as I'm all for your new tough stance on mindless name calling and abuse of other posters you must agree that certain instances do justify it - could you implement something whereby you can flag certain posts to give us the green light to get stuck in when someone is undoubtedly spouting utter ?

Its not so much gambling in bringing players in that I have the problem with, it is the fact he doesn't have the balls to play a real 442 and constantly leaves Lomax on the bench. He must be destroying the kid. We have the personnel to play a more expansive attcking game but his safety first approach is costing us big time at home. The players know it isnt working but he will only switch things about in the last 10 minutes or so. Trotters could've been pushed up with 20 minutes to go on Saturday but he sat on his hands and we limped to defeat. This is our best team with the personnel we have available and is the team i'd like to see take on Carlsle tomorrow night, lets just have a bloody good at someone at home

Crossley

Eardley

Hazell

Trotman

Lomax

Taylor

Allott

MacDonald

Smalley

Hughes

Allessandra

 

That team has two pacy fullbacks, two pacy wingers, Allott to protect the back four by playing in his usual deep lying position and Macca to make the forward runs. This team should be able to put enough crosses in to create chances at least. Sod it lets lose 4-3 instead of 1-0 every week. Lets attack teams instead of rolling over playing insipid boring directionless football.

are you a Geordie in disguise?

Yep, they could have been an expensive gamble that didn't pay off, or they could have been an expensive gamble that did pay off, but, if unsure, do nothing.

 

As I said in a previous post 'though, I think the club should be naming targets that have not materialised, and not leave us playing a guessing game. They don't have any obligation to, but it would be nice if they did.

what?

you'd feel better if you knew we'd missed out on a decent player?

wouldn't we have had to change our name to something beginning with "H" first though?

in fact, take Huddersfield out and we would've had United's number so we actually missed out on Arsenal at home

thats what we could have got if the cliub had the balls to gamble

wouldn't we have had to change our name to something beginning with "H" first though?

Not the brightest PR move in my book esp. if 'Udders get drawn at Old trafford in about 2 mins.

would we have been the same number as Hudds?

Well let me be a little controversial ...

 

I actually thought that, given the conditions and the available playing staff, we played pretty well on Saturday

todays Chron.

loanees who wanted too much money - anyone know who they were???

also says hoping to have someone in for tomorrow night.

There are too many distractions other than football and I'm sorry but in general at £20 a time people will stop going to matches if they are not entertained. In these days of SKY live armchair football winning at all costs is simply not enough to get bums on seats.

 

Your always going to get the diehards like us, who turn up week in week out but to get success at a club you need to entertain and at home this season we just ain't doing it!

 

We all have opinions but the reason we've averaged 5,800 instead of 7,000 is solely down to boring, predictable, football, producing 2 wins and only 9 goals!!

I disagree.

I think the who we're playing/what we're playing for seems to have more bearing on attendances than how we're playing.

if he did go would Killer still get to take all the corners and free kicks?

40+ guy wearing colours doesn't smack (no pun intended) to me of someone who is going to try and run the FYC up Sheepfoot lane.

 

Therefore I 'presume' he was an innocent party. I could, however, be miles off the mark. That's why I used the word 'presumably'.

 

KOTK

would you presume someone dressed in a Spiderman outfit wouldn't get involved aswell?

A poor, presumably innocent Huddersfield fan lied in a pool of blood.

why do you presume he was innocent?

alot of players seem to blaming their exits on shez

stands to reason, doesn't it?

i'd be worried if it wasn't Shez deciding who stays and who goes

Can I suggest a visit to the docs for your ears syringing on Monday morning mate? We could even hear an echo off the Chaddy End! But seriously, it sound pretty loud where we were and there was constant chanting throughout. On a technical note, sometimes a half empty stand actually sounds louder with the noise able to bounce around more. We too couldn't hear Latics fans either to be honest!

 

While I'm on here! - I'm sorry to read some OWTB's forum members don't like opposing fans being allowed to post. Surely if visiting fans are sensible and inoffensive it isn't a problem. I always enjoyed sharing comments with other fans, both on these kinds of message boards or indeed in the pub before and after games, so it would be a shame to ban visitors form joining in.

 

AceT

you were REALLY quiet compared to anyone else who's filled that stand in recent years - Wednesday, Leeds, City, even Blackpool!

Been saying this for a while, Wolfy's not making the impact he needs to off the bench - the boy needs a run out on loan somewhere. Ship him out for a couple of months and give Lewis a go from the bench.

great idea - we've got plenty of cover up front.

an emarrassment of riches some might say

He didnt show much respect the way he celebrated after his goal....

thought it was quite muted by his standards.

thought he supported Sheff Utd???

can I answer at the end of the season?

it was, apparently, the end of the world when this lad got injured pre-season.

he was gonna be the next big thing and become an integral member of the first team.

he's been fit for ages now, we're not scoring goals and we've seen about 5 minutes of him - what's changed?

the difference between Shez and Moore is that at least under Shez we've had some good times, played some good football and got some cracking results - Everton & Leeds away are up there with many peoples favourite aways and both games happened within the last 27 DAYS.

yes there's been a lot of bad days to go with the good days but, we've got a good manager who can get it right and VERY right some of the time - he just needs to suss out how to get it right most of the time.

i sometimes wonder if a lot of people on here are watching their first full season - it's never gonna be fast, flowing, rampaging football week in, week out. it won't be in the season we finally get up out of this god forsaken division either - ask Swansea - lose to non-league Havant one week, win 4-0 away at megabucks promotion rivals the next!

get a grip!

fans whinging too much at home games, people having a pop at certain players affects them, boo boys this, boo boys that etc, etc......

nothing but 100% backing today and we were still sheite.

(and I speak as someone who AGREED with Shez in having a go at our less intelligent fans)
