Well said. Best post of 2008. (That's a bit sad isn't it?)

Burley had Davis and a couple of erms. Then when they proved themselves he let them go.

It's bad news for us that Lita stays with Norwich. He is a player that we should have signed imo.

We will not be stronger at the back without him. Let's hope we can retain Cork at least. What mostly interested me in the OS (since it diid not look like we would be able to keep Pearce after January) was Steve Coppell's statement: '" I have a squad of about 20 players and the core of that squad have played a lot of games." Wow! he has financed a quality well knit squad by not having too many not playing! Burley had too many and didn't know what to do with them. Poortvliet has the same problem. LEANER, MORE VERSATILE, QUALITY SQUAD RUPERT! Then we might get somewhere.

Gary Johnson said: 'we need that experienced Championship goalscorer in our squad.' But not good enough for Jan and Rupes.

Jut possibly the guy who sadly lost his life was still in a coma when the OS and The Echo originally broke the news. Very sad.

I would like confrmation of this

Well we now have a playing staff of 34 players on the books. Whatever happened to Lowe's promise of a leaner economical team of around 28? WE could get rid of 6 useless players and bring back John or Saga. But I know Lowe will sell the more talented and leave us with a very sorry weak and demoralised squad.

But we own three

Me too,I predicted 0-5

If Lowe and Pootvliet continue their experiment with the same 'success' we will end the season with only two home wins! Historians - has this ever happened before?

hmm

I reckon he will go on 5th Jan after we get humiliated in front of the whole world 0 -13 by Man U.

A realistic, sensible post FF. And I sadly also have to concur with your scenario Topcat. We all desperately need an inspiring leader to rally round. This is our only hope.

Who was the chap who did the crop circles? 'Lowe out' cut into the grass in font of the world's cameras would just be perfect.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS FOLKS! Especially to all the stalwarts on their to Plymouth

Head. Nail. On.

How many were saying that it would not be a hard job for Saints to jump back into the premiership? Certainly the bookies thought so. It won't be easy for us to return to the CCC once demoted. Your post makes no sense. Of course they prefer working for Jan to Pearson. He gives them an easier time.

With gates down by a third, I doubt if wages are down that much, so wages could be a higher percentage of turnover than the previous regimes imo. Would like more info.

Jan said we play 4-3-3, but no-one gets close enough to the goal to threaten. So the formation is really 4-3-3-0.

I don't believe Chorley is a shareholder, and technically shouldn't have been at the AGM - at least he wasn't a year ago, and was only allowed to stay at the AGM then following a vote by shareholders at last years meeting.. So who let him in? lol

Coventry yes, but that was a long time ago. A 50% win record at Leeds is hardly crap.
