Sadly you are probably right but I would love to see him achieve it while still playing for us.

I am assuming that this response is ironic. Comparing the French with the Faroe Islands - you cannot be serious!!!

Yes, I like Chaplow and I hope we keep him but he will never be an international player. There is every chance that Morgan will and there ends the debate.

Puncheon - Adkins is very conscious of over-using a young player if it is against his long term interests so OC is being used exactly right - for impact. Anyway, Puncheon has been good in the last few games.

Quite true - but my concern is that even when we win we are not especially convincing and our chances to goals conversion rate is abysmal. We are getting most things right now - except the finishing. Some of that is due to Rickie's poor start but our long shooting yesterday was dreadful. If you are on-target and the goalie saves then good for him but if you are off target then you get nothing.

H'mmmm - some pretty awful yolks on here.

Funny how successive managers don't seem to agree with you.

I don't think that it matters much what manager England have got. English players are consistently found out at international level. It happens too often for it to be just unlucky.

In my opinion he will go with Morgan and Hammond. Both are almost on 5 yellows (which is part of the reason Chaplow was brought in) so he will play them with the expectation that one of them will pick up a yellow and have to serve a suspension at which point Chaplow comes in. He will want them to serve their suspensions while Chaplow is still here.

If the quality of Ossie's posts are anything to go by it is someone else's turn with the 6 brain cells!

When were we 130M in debt? - we're not the Skates you know!

Adkins is well aware of the problem. He is basically not fully fit - I suspect had too relaxed a summer - but I think NA has it in hand. Actually as far as Saturday is concerned he mis-controlled or lost the ball 4 or 5 times - which is 2 or 3 more than he would have done last year - but most of the time his hold up play was good as was his bringing of other players into the game. The problem is that that the mistakes stick in your mind more than the stuff that is properly executed.

H'mmm - an awful lot of knee jerking going on. Why not wait for the facts to emerge before hanging him? The Facts as reported are 1. He was bailed to answer on Wednesday 2. He has a hand injury. The reason for 2 has not yet been explained. - why not wait and see?

For a moment I missed that fact that there was no "L" in the name!!!!

To be fair, his tactical substitutions didn't work because our players were better than their players so it didn't really matter what they did tactically.

LOL - he was brought in because Hammond and Schneiderland are almost on 5. I bet he reaches 5 before they do!!!

I have no doubt that some people booed but it was far from stadium wide. There was not a peep of a boo round where I was!

OldNick puts up a bit of speculation and you immediately leap to this conclusion LOL

What is the point of this thread? Do you want to sack the manager now? - if not then why raise this stuff when he is only 4 games in. Pardew's gone, for whatever reason, and he's not coming back.

I really don't get it. We have people wittering on and complaining about paying a fiver for a forum that they deem inferior. Surely the answer is simple - **** off to one of the superior free forums.

I would have thought that he would do more damage as their defence tires.

They can't get planning permission - apparently it would be a nuisance to existing residents.

Could you PM me about that
