Spot on. A successful football club is self marketing. It just needs bean counters to set prices and punters to either pay or not.

Very helpful, thanks.

Where the hell did that come from! Looks promising though. Proven player at a good level with an eye for goal.

I'm pretty sure that most players celebrate when they score or win against us (or anyone). Just because they happened to play for our local rivals doesn't mean that we should never sign them.

Ffs, does that really matter. Crouch, Horne, Fuller and others were too. He's a good player. Would offer options down the left, and free up AL to play central or down the right.

Think you'll find he has a wife and kids.

Yep, but the fans got on puncheon's back and destroyed his confidence. Old, well trodden ground I know but it's hardly surprising that he might see his future elsewhere. If NA thinks that he has a future here get him back into the fold and on the charm offensive with the fans. If not, get him out of the place sharpish Personally, I would give him a chance. I find it surprising that he would have played tonight (ahead of players who are Part of our Future) if he is being moved on.

D I think he'll go with Hammond and cork to begin with, because of the opponents. I can see the formation changing during games, and from game to game though, especially if we don't get another striker in. The current squad has the personnel to play 442, a diamond, 4231, 433 and 451. I expect to see all of those formations used at differing points.

There's a good argument for any combination of our main 4 cm's. The best balance depends on the opposition and other factors such as whether we are looking to counter attack, play mostly through the middLe, push one or both full backs on etc etc Personally I wouldn't favour cork and Morgan in an old fashioned 442 against the better or more physical teams. I think hammond with one of the other two will give us a bit more steel and experience.

Ta, I will go equipped with a book or two and get me a discount. Cheers for the heads up.

Do you have floppy hair and smell of baked beans?

It's a kind invitation but I can't be arsed. The tone of your posts tell me that you're always right so I'm not gonna indulge you with an exchange.

Ben reeves, young left back from youth team

Cheers del boy. How did ben reeves do?

Both teams look strong. Interesting that Harding isn't featuring though, especially after being played out of position the other night.

What are you some kind of post critic? Ffs, bring back hypo all is forgiven. Just out of interest, who is on your wish list?

I can normally spot sarcasm a mile off but I'm worried you're being serious.

Dune and hypo alleged that the stain and deppo were one and the same. Apparently that was conclusive evidence and worthy of a ban.

I agree with hatch. I reckon there will be a surprise winner. I've gone for steve stricker each way at 35/1.

Quite. I find hypo about as irritating as athletes foot but he is harmless. If his posts bothered me I would put him on ignore. His obsession with deppo was beyond sad and for me was more worthy of a kick up the arse than his repeated thread starting. In any event, neither he nor deppo deserved to be banned. Please mods, step in when and if posters are racist, homophobic, threaten violence etc. Otherwise please kick back and stop reacting like over zealous prefects.

For being a whiney, annoying, hypo lovey? Sounds like a good shout.

And who exactly cares other than dune and the mods? This place is becoming absolutely pathetic.

Top ten. One or two more decent signings and an outside chance of the playoffs.

I thought that the rumours thread was pointless but it seems that there are many that think otherwise. I think a poll is needed. Run it for 24 hours or so and go with what the majority want.

You appear to have missed the point of the op. The stupid thread will be replaced by new threads on a player by player basis. The fact that there is nothing new yet indicates that nothing new is happening. However, if the original thread was still running all sorts of rubbish would have been posted. Good suggestion on the op and a sensible decision imo.
