And thats the moment you lost all crediblity:smt009

****ing Ref was a joke. Having said that it should have all been over in the first half. No doubt Pardew will bare the brunt of the fallout but some of our players need to look at themselves too. How can they play so well one day and play that badly in the second half. Still I've said all along playoffs weren't going to happen this season so I'm not to bothered apart from I don't like us to lose.

Well it was NC comments in the public domain that sparked the whole shadow over APs future. Some clarifcation might help to settle things. Normally I'd agree with you but as NC chose to make his feeling public I think it's know a topic for diccussion. Of course we all know what happens to managers who get public votes of confidence from thier chairmen........ Personally I'd like to know if we're on a five year or three year plan for return to the EPL and how he feels about the JPT.

It seems that AP and the fans are in agreement about our best eleven now give or take the odd player. So what do people think is our best second eleven? I've said before I'd like us to have a first team of around 24-25 two good players for every postion plus 2-3 utility players who can fill in. I think we've got enough good players to probably achieve that. My understudy eleven GK- Bart RB - ? CD - Thomas CD - Seabourne LB - Mills RW - Antonio CM - James CM - Gobern (not 100% on this one) LW - Holmes F- Papa F- Connolly I think we are still short in cover for midfield and right back (Murty would be good but I think his playing days are over) so a couple of signings in the summer might be needed, although I'll admit to not knowing much about our up coming youth players so there might be some options there. That still leaves a lot of players many of who will be leaving in the summer I imagine as they are just not good enough or AP doesn't rate them at least.

Yes I thought Trotman was a younger version of Jaidi really, strong in the air slightly dodgy with his feet. Maybe the reason Trotman and Jaidi didn't click was becuase they where to similair. Trotmans young still makes a few mistakes but I still think he was solid for us. I wouldn't be upset to have him back.

Thanks for the heads up.:smt023

No he has scored four in the league, one in the FA cup and I think four (?) in the JPT although he has only started something like 12 matches. I think he has scored more for us than any of his other clubs.

Maybe Pulis will get a run out against Brighton would be the ideal date to give him a go.

I have to say I've actually been to some Dons matches in the home end last season, as my brother in law is a Dons fan. They make some noise not as impressive as a rocking St Marys but not that bad. Their fans are mostly youth it seems, they're starting from scratch with their fan base give them a century of history and they'll be all right:cool:. Although it's very annoying to hear them sing when the Dons go marching in:mad:

I was at the home match (and if my memory serves me right) we struggled to break then down to start with but ended up winning quite comfortably. We have improved since that meeting (although so have they a little). I still reckon we will tonk them though 3-0 again I reckon.

As the title says. I want to take my eight year old to his first away match. The Dons match is good one becuase the in-laws live in MK plus it's almost an odds on win;). I can't find anything on the club site though, any one know anything? Cheers

Well we're going to have to for the JPT at least two (three if you count Seabourne) of our strongest side are cup tied.

I was impressed with Papa's goal, really well taken. I don't think I've every seen highlights where one team doesn't get a single attempt on goal, we look a class above.

Great stuff and Papa gets another goal (got to keep him warmed up for wembley). Great results although people will start complaining if we score less than five every match if the team keep this up.

Something along the lines of "Get the **** in Com'on you reds" and then leave will do.

Well at least your being postive:smt041

hopefully this guy will be playing for Carlisle one goal all season thats what you call a striker, cost them 75K. Can you imagine what this season would be like if we didn't have Marcus? even 75k one goal a season strikers would be out of our price range:smt104 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/carlisle_united/8544974.stm

Damn my fumbled typing I was just in a hurry to get the link up before you;) How come you can't edit titles any way? Somehow I don't think it's going to be a bad as Stockport's, Colchester's or Wycombe's pitch. I wonder how many lower league pitches Milner has played on this year?

As we don't play well on poor pitches this doesn't bode well http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/8544719.stm Apparently there are better pitches in the lower leagues:smt103 Still think we'll win though:)

Interesting comments from Murty on late kick off last night. Lots of work behind the scences by AP to keep Lallana happy and make sure he stays a saint. Lallana very happy wants to stay and play for saints. Excellent news looks like Adam will stay another season. The thing is if we lose any players the won't go cheap becuase we don't need to sell. With all the money player sales bring in we can just plunder the teams around us. If we lose Lambert we can just buy Swindons front pair for example. In league one most players will won't to come to us I reckon. So for the first time ever I'm not worried about losing players becuase unlike before I reckon we will replace quaility with quaility, rather than Lowes old trick of selling quaility and buying crap to replace it.

That pitch was awful how can that be acceptable to play on? I take it Stockport had to lay off the groundsmen went they went into admin.
