Relatively, we play a tighter game, conceding less, hence we don't have to score bucketloads. That's why our sixth-best attack and very good defence leaves us second-best GD after QPR. When McDermott let the brakes off we scored more but conceded more, 4-3, 1-1, 3-3, 1-3 The fact that we seem able t...

I am very glad to see the usual Muppets of Muppetland slagging off Manset. That ensures he will be a very good player for us. "Never won a header" Absolutely untrue. He had a good first touch, he was there in the box when the ball came in, challenging the keeper (the crosses weren't good e...

SLAMMED 6th best team in the league for goals?

22nd for clean sheets. Too many goals at the wrong end, though it's improved since Leigertwood arrived.

INCORRECT

and we have joint second-best goal-difference

PieEater Where did I say he was bad

You didn't, nor did I say you did,

I was referring to the Bulls Fans saying: he's not fit and often caught offside. That sounds like he doesn't train well and doesn't understand what's going on.

loyalroyal4life Fair play to QPR, can see them definately going up with the signing they have made

Chimbonda, Routledge and Miller > Morrison, Willams and Manset

But they lost one player. Has Chimbonda played much recently?

At 6'1" he's not that tall, but looks pretty powerful. He reminds me a bit of Heskey. Some of comments from the Bull forum say he's not fit and often caught offside. That sounds like he doesn't train well and doesn't understand what's going on. Both fixable with a bit of effort from him and th...

We just slowly but surely slipped. Look at that season in the New Year. For one thing Doyle was shooting blanks and the team failed to score in 10 of the 20 games.11 really as our goal v Wolves was an OG We also failed to score in the two play-off games so that's failed to score in 13 out of 22 gam...

As for two strikers, well, it's one and a half...Manset should figure very quickly whereas Williams won't appear until next season at very least. Manset is the type of striker we've not had since Kitson (and even biggers than Kitson.) So, hopefully, now we have someone in...then we can move on some...

We do have 5 strikers now(six if you include Mooney). Presumably Mooney will go in the summer along with one of Church,Hunt or Long. If one goes now I think it would be Church but I don't reckon this will happen until the summer. I can see Brian Howard going next week though. Howard back to Barnsle...

Ooops - got it wrong earlier. The new parachute payments are 2 years at £16M and then 2 years at £8M. It was two years at £12M when we got them. This is why it is so important we give promotion the best shot this year. If we can go up I would be all for spending nothing and then rebuilding again af...

Is "Hunt injured" so he can be rested, Church start, and a new player be on the bench and get some playing time? He got injured last wek and had to be substituted. I know, saw him hit the deck. But it would politically clever to not bring him back. Give the manager a chance to blood a new...

Potentially a great player, shows it occasionally
but not enough IMO and I'd guess his head is
not right. Didn't last too long at Sheffield


Probably good to let him go and release cash/wages, but we might need to replace

Is "Hunt injured" so he can be rested, Church start, and a new player be on the bench and get some playing time?

Why would they hassle in public?

Of course but he said No Contact after previously saying (if I remember" "no contact whatsoever"


Of course he could mean HE has had no contact but the money men had
but really he looked/sounded like he genuinely had NOT (yet) made an approach

I don't know about anyone else, but I thought we could beat Brum. They were a misfiring team themselves; but the main reason was that we went into that game after only one defeat in eight. People think of the second half of the season as a decline, but in fact there was a period within it where we ...

re-read that... can't IMAGINE the next few posts..

I too was a Boy Entrant - Junior Leaders Regiment Royal Artillery 1983. Never got caught though. Went on to serve 12 years in 3RHA in various locations (NI, Cyprus, Germany, Belieze, Kenya, Sinai). 1963 me, RAF St Athan. As for getting caught, me, lots of times. I used to sneak out with a mate afte...

I can't understand why anyone could be in favour of this - a few years ago, maybe, but he's now 37 and has managed to complete 1 90 minutes in the past year. We want young, hungry players with something to prove, not people with nothing to prove who want a nice quiet place to end their careers. Peo...
