Mainly because otherwise what is the point of winning if there is no end product? Simple as that, there does not need any other explanation. But you know what, I am so intrigued at what NC is going to do next. Is he really going to take us into Europe, or is it the same old rhetric that loads of chairman come out with, see, I seem to think he will, and then it's 'what's so great about being in the Champions league'?

didn't he park his caravan on Wembley Way!!

This is spot on , this aint the Div 1, we will 'probably' not be in a better position for a long time to come. We have to take the chance now! (nothing to do with the OP though)

that is a definate, sure we won the game at theirs, cant recall the Dell score but i think we were leading, remember a penalty or two at The Bridge

West Ham?? Not sure about that?

I called 88 a month or two ago, still think that will be enough, though i am expecting us to get 89

Just reminded on another thread (Closed because of some abusive idiot) about the ZDS Cup Final. Was it 92? Anyone remember the route to Wembley that year (wasn't it regionalised)? I am sure i went to every game including Norwich away (how on earth were they in the southern pot? Its quicker to get to Forest)), midweek, 88 fans (lowest I have ever seen away), sure also there was Plymouth away where Timmy made a world class save, and there was a double against Chelsea (before the money), which if i remember, we won quite convincingly. Stand to be corrected of course. Remember the final well, 2 down at HT to Forest, Tim played well, Kevin Moore and Matty got us back in, then we lost it in normal time, or was it ET? One of my man Branfoot's finest hours (his only one I spose).

what a fan you are!

wet biscuit

are you being serious?

i guess that is including where they are now against BHA? its getting a bit close, that 'extra point' is looking bloody vunerable now.

whats the story with gd now, anyone got the stats to hand?

you cant be serious about that, surely?

just typical if WHAM suddenly find the form in their last 4 games! BUT, we can still win out last 3 FFS. Peterboro away - for the taking Middlesboro away - tough, but they play a bit so we could beat them, though more likely to draw Coventry home - Gimme take the above and we are up, party on!

yeah, sorry, that should have read, maybe he did not do what NA wanted of him, therefore the last of Guly

just got 2 terrace tickets, gonna be a party if WHAM lose today!!

exactly

I was yeah, right in line in Itchen 4, my point though was the ball was never going to be won, and yeah, it wasn't that bad, but it was reckless and that is the sort of challenge that see some ref's send someone off, and that would not have helped, its one of Chaplow's bad points.

Itchen north block 4

You cant be serious? Hammond is not there to offer creativity FFS, thats what Cork is supposed to do! You are right about the FB's though, last night we played a predictable flat 4-4-2, against a side clearly winning against teams that do this. I thought that playing the same team that won at Palace was the right thing to do, on reflection though (yeah, after we had lost tbf), we should have done something different. We have some cracking FB's at the club that can go forward, the midfiled is our problem, especially without Morgan, I would love to see Lallana play off Lambert, Fox in midfiled with Harding behind him, Chaplow and Hammond in the middle with Cork on the right, with the FB's getting past the midfiled at every opportunity. Adkins got his tactics wrong tonight, just as the players got it wrong against Portsmouth.

have to agree with the above. Why was Guly bougt on to do a 'holding' role in midfield, in fact sometimes he nearly dropped back to CB. I'm not a big fan, but if he is going to come on then at least try and make him effective. I cannot see any logic in taking off Hammond and putting Guly directly in his place. But maybe he did do what NA wanted him to do? If so, that should be the last we see of him.

because this is specifically about Guly, there is a fred about AL

lets assume WHAM win all their games, so we better make sure we win ours!

I really dont know what people expect here? FFS, it was rocking last night. We are not in ****ing South America, have you been to OT?

tbf Chaplow got himself in some good positions, particulary in the 1st half. But he made some woeful decisions on what to do with the ball, though I think it might have helped if Butterfield had overlapped a bit more. The foul on their keeper worried me, why would you do something that stupid? The ref got that right, but some ref's would have had him off immediately. I thought Chaplow was very good at Palace, there is no way anyone is better at RM presently, and given his determination and effort I would stick with him at P'boro, unlike others who come on and pay a holding midfield role!!
