I"d still put him on the bench, even if he doesn't/can't play.

Strange that they are still with the Club. Everyone else went, even Carl Martin.

Has Romeu done his coaching badges?

Most of the players didn't play for the last 4 or 5 managers, not many even played for the last one. So this is nonsense.

Welington's suspended

Because we are currently not in a transfer window.

Wouldn't have Danny Rohl as assistant, his best times with us were when Danny was backup. Also bringing back the architect of 2 9-0s seems a bit foolhardy. Maybe if we're looking back with rose tinted specs Lawrie could rolled out.

I know it's semantics, but when was it ever 5 at the back against Brizzle. It was 3 at the back with two outside pushing forward. I don't recall Frazer ever defending (except when he kept them onside for their 2nd) and Welington didn't do much in the way of defending. The big problem I have with what Still says about getting it forward being the key, not the formation, is that is exactly what our defenders (whether its 3, 4 or 5) don't do. They pass it around at the back and always look to play sideways or back without trying to get it forward, just like in Martin's time. The only difference I see is that McCarthy does sometimes launch it. THB is the worst at playing it around at the back, except occassionally he seems to remember to try to get it forward and alunches a diagonal to no one. I know its heresy on here but I think Jack does a better job of getting it forward than THB.

Curious how you know that

By buying it for £6m and letting the market take its course, easy really.

Imagine he's struggling to afford it now, on assistant coach wages at a lower mid table Championship club. Good to see the Mail has it's finger on the pulse, Lallana coming to the end of his playing career at Southampton.

Don't know, but hasn't really done much since Waterloo.

Charles has been excellent most times he has played for Norn Iron (I didn't see the Germany game, I usually watch the games). We should be playing him the same Michael O'Neill does, much more of an attacking midfielder. Think he will be captain of NI in the future (already has been at least once), I suspect only his age is stopping him right now.

Quite, hardly a replacement for Ross (but he's probably better than all of our other short-arses).

3 actually, plus 2 loan returns.
