Agree on Micah Anthony. Looked quick and skilful.
Pedder never looked like he was going to make it to me.
Who exactly are we pinning our hopes on now ? Kolli, obviously. Bala ? Aoraha ? |

I am sure we will keep the best that we can within our means. That seems to have been the strategy for a few years now. |

This sequence of events has restored my faith in football,
He gets told he's going on loan to Birmingham, they nose-dive out of the division, he finds himself surplus to requirements and when he comes back he's told his contract is not going to be renewed and is without a club.
Now consider the (hypothetical) alternative. He stays with us in Jan. We continue in the same vein with him in the side. Birmingham are not hampered with him. We go down and they stay up. We keep him in League One because our better cm's find clubs in the Championship.
There is justice in football after all. [Post edited 12 May 1:27]

'A difficult decision was made in January, linked to the club’s financial realities and other market priorities, in a move that was additionally designed to afford Andre more starting football'
That's quite a back-handed compliment from our CEO.
Surprised he didn't go the whole hog and added 'But ended up with him not even being included in their matchday squad' |

I believe we released him owing to a career threatening knee injury
Went on to make 360 further appearances
I don't think he was the only one. I'm sure there was another who called it a day on medical advice only to go on to have a long and successful career |

Love Pat Metheny. 'The Way Up' is unbelievable. You can listen to it time and time again and you will hear something new every time. Favourite Pat Metheny track: James. |

Very true. He's polishing his cobblers on the bench to take Fergie's place in the Director's box when he keels over. Thank God we haven't got a dynasty. Its tainted them for years. |

Joe Walsh seems to have shrunk a couple of inches since Saturday's game ? |

Essentially, he probably said the club was f*cked because he realised that he was talking to some chancer and so he got the response he deserved.
Reminds me of the time I saw Todd Carty in Wimbledon once and I said to him 'Hey, you're the bloke from Grange Hill' and he said to me 'Grange Hill, what's that ? I don't know that one. Is it any good ?' [Post edited 6 May 20:42]

Very similar to the Warburton situation really. Good manager who knows the score strategically and man-management wise but for one reason or another has run his course there. As I say, very similar to Warburton - knows his stuff, pretty straight with the players and quite pragmatic. Maybe just not sexy enough. [Post edited 6 May 20:32]

Must be a huge wrench for the lad, leaving his boyhood club after 20 years. On the other hand, this could be the breaking of the umbilical chord that he needs to become a fully fledged first teamer at another club. |

Looks good. Very early days though. Its not until he's playing regular Championship football and being systematically targeted that we will know if he is good enough. Certainly though, in him and Salomon we have two that are well worth developing. |

There is a whole host of reasons. You could write a compendium on them. Unfortunately, however, the powers that be would be unlikely to read it. |

I don't like to put the blame on GA as I thought he was thrown to the lions when asked to prepare for the season with the likes of Gubbins, Drewe, Pedder, Duke-McKenna and Kargbo and I think we would have gone down under MC if we had continued with what we had before the end of the January window, even if Cook and Colback were signed under GA.
The moment I thought we might stay up was not until quite late - when we beat Leicester and Swansea over Easter.
I think that's around about the time that we got out of the bottom three and I felt that the belief would see us through then. |

His experience to us was valuable in the last two games. He came back well after Plymouth. But we do need to replace him. We need a keeper that is better equipped for the rigours of a 46 game season if we are going to go upwards. [Post edited 26 Apr 22:12]

Superb from Marti. Been unsure about him up until the last two games but the organisation and application tonight and against Preston have been outstanding. Please, please, please keep doing what you are doing and don't waver one jot. Please. |
