Seemed a nice chap and him and JP were thrown in at the deep end and to be honest i loved watching our passing at times just a shame we could have played stern john and sagawoski more and we would of stayed up. He knows his stuff and after reading that story earlier in the thread fair play to the bloke. I wouldnt mind Jan back as a coach to be honest, seemed a great coach.

I thought we still owed a few mill on the stadium before ML brought us ? Yes he did invest a lot for league one standards but we hardly spent any money compared to our income this summer. Anyways we shouldnt really care what other fans say about us, there is a lot of jealousy these days, most supporters now appreciate seeing a good team and a team with respectful fans players and club as a whole hence why teams like barca are loved despite there success, but there is always going to be bitter fans, lets just keep getting points meaning a top 6 finish is likely and try and finish top 2 in the style we are.

Only seen him twice but he looks good just needs a bit of work on his defending if hes to look good next season in the prem should we get there, his on the ball talent is better then hardings and im sure as the season progresses he gets better and will be a great player hes still young enough to work on his game and become a decent LB in the prem.

Small town in pompey, the most incorrect song ever invented.

RIP to his son and fair play to billy for playing, his attidue and his passion as well as his talent is why i would love him here at st marys, i feel now though he may stay at donny till the end of the season after this sad story, seems as though they are showing all the support he deserves at this time in his life.

Great win cant wait to go to another game, missed last nite the massive debate i have every week is play football myself or go watch the saints !! 5 points clear as well lets try and get a further gap between us and 2nd/3rd.

There will always be haters when your doing well, for boro fans 25 passes for the 3rd goal sorry but if your team is any good that would not happen !!

great win made my day playing a decent team and winning, same again tues.

Maybe hes here to make it and then once hes playing regular look at a move away and just use us to start his career, i dont mind if he does this as long as A) plays well wins us games and B) we get a decent amount for him.

Great Interview so honest, cant believe he didn't mention delgado as the worse player he managed.

I think he could be usefull as a impact sub if we need him to be, he wont score loads but his pace alone will threaten teams and force them to try and mark him, would like to see him and lambo upfront for a few games before i write him off, let him have the last 20-25 mins up there with lambo see if he can cause some damage by forcing teams to keep a deep line and getting someone decent mark him.

Agree with this beatlesaint, every team does it and waits till around the QFs before they take it serious, no championship club whos looking to get playoffs or promotion would play 1st team regulars in early rounds unless its a derby match, why make your best 5/6 players play 48 plus games of 90 mins. I think you have to play young stars and fringe players vs the lower league teams to get them game time and to prove a point, tonight with it being a decent side who played mostly 1st team players we seemed to do ok, players like that clyne at RB for them will be a prem player soon.

I think NA is waiting for SDR to pick up his form then he will play him on the wing and allow guly to play upfront, also hes giving DC a chance to keep his scoring form up but he was poor yday so maybe now next league game he may start on the bench, for me DC and RL will only work when there is 2 pacey trickey wingers playing with them as they lack the pace but have amazing goal scoring ability and hold up play for this league.

Disagree slightly Utd just need a new CM and there be fine Anderson and Fletcher are not the answer Fletcher is the only player who could make the bench for most teams, Morgan and Cork would be a better partnership then them 2.

Lallana is the key, without him we seem to be poor, would love to the win percentage he has when he plays compared to not. Lallana is the best attacking player in this league. LB well i reckon its to do with this court case but he is also missed, i prefer him to DC, DC is better coming off the bench iMO.

Nigel says everything in his post match interview, if you have all read it. Not happy with Hammond to be honest that challenge was stupid being on a yellow, but Reading deserved all 3 points anyways they didnt let us play and we let them play when they had the ball, signs of fatigue from players like guly DC and Lambo IMO, shows how much we really need Lallana. Positive is that we do have Lallana missing and when he comes back him and Steve on the wings look promising quick tricky wingers who our top championship players.

Hes a decent CB, at LB hes not great where Brum play him most of the time, i would have him at CB if JH starts to play poor, but i feel Martin can be a quality CB i remember last season vs bolton he kept davis quiet all game, lets give they boy some more games or loan him to a league one team so he can get some matches in before Jan.

West Ham should win on paper, they have Noble Nolan and Carew who are prem players, so I would be happy with a draw because if WHU play there best there beat us with no Lallana and De Ridder not hitting form yet, cuz were struggle out wide to be creative and get decent balls to Lambo and Guly relying on Cork and Hammond to beat there decent CMs Noble and Nolan. IF Lallana is fit and De Ridder plays like he can were win this one, but its a big IF as we need Lallana he is the best player outside the prem in English football.

this is why we should get this flag done at a big game 1min 4 secs in look at ML and NC. There allow it for a big game surely as there be enough stewards and police, i reckon we should do it for the game vs the skates.

No way did ML want pards sacked before Wembley, if he did he would of sacked him at the end of the season when we didnt get promoted.

Hes shown he can be class, for now i think giving him 20-25 mins a game will be ok, then after xmas he will hopefully show his pure excellence.

Antonio is deffo a quality legaue one player and would do a job for us in this league as a back up, but if we aiming to get promoted this season, there would be no point signing him we would need someone slightly better as a back up who would be more consistent with there crossing and passing.

Im a thinking with Lambert you know every pen is gonna be a goal and even if he doest score, he would of been involved in the the build up for a goal, and doing it in the championship this season is going to spark a few prem teams like NUFC to bid 4/5 mill for him and offer him prem and maybe uefa cup football, i think he would stay as we look good to make at least the playoffs.

he would not of been in leeds squad for a champions league game at 18/19 if he wasn't that good, last season Butterfield was class and you couldn't relly drop him and frazer is doing the same.

Typical Eastleigh family...
