Let's just hope Steve McLaren hasn't had a rethink after yet another defeat today and no goals scored.

It's not, but I mean with this team we've got and the fact we've still only lost 4 games all season.

1-0 away at Arsenal isn't too bad. I thought they'd get stuffed.

Just listening to the radio. Dan, the infamous Dan, complaining about not getting in.
I get that it must be desist eating but if you leave it until last minute, chances are quite high you will miss out. And to complain that he got there at 1.30 and it sold out despite tickets not supposed to have been going on sale until 12 but went on at 11, I think that's a non argument as you still arrived 1 HR 30 after the original time. If you'd got there at 12.05 and told they'd gone due to them being on sale an hour earlier than planned, fair enough!

Yeah, but zero points is zero points and no goals scored either.

Yeahh :/
AA isn't ready for the prem yet though IMO. I hope McLaren realises this and doesn't bow to the Toon fans.
That we've only lost 4 all season?

That he's seen the quotes attributed to Mclaren about AA staying so is optimistic but cautious at the same time until its been officially communicated to City.

He's on now but I keep losing him
Just talking about RCC atm.
Kent last game - boys have him a standing ovation. 18 year old playing first team football
Talks ongoing with Bigi and Cole clubs / reps etc. Bigi likely to have loan extended atleast initially but hopes he becomes a Coventry player again getting him playing our way
Bigi isn't Fleck but has lovely passing and lovely feet. Needs to work on out of possession
Fleck brought off due to cautions. Important footballer and the booking will come but delighted it didn't come today
Reiterated re Armstrong deal still to be rubber stamped but has heard Steves comments

He was being interviewed in the lounges before the Boxing Day game. Seemed a really nice guy.

Stokes only conceded 1 goal since move to cb. Haynes doing his end of bargain too. Fair play
4 pts from next 6 plz. 6 would be amazing and we can do it.

Seems very level headed.
Be good if we could sign if we go up and Norwich stay in the Premiership

I thibk arma and Murphy are possible championship loans if their parents clubs stay in prem. Newcastle prob need to be doing more than just that though. Think they will start picking up some good results soon

He did. Quite easy for keepers to switch off when not having to do much and your on te winning side, but he kept everything that got past our defence out and did what was required of him

He had another great game.
Even in the warm up when the defenders warm up together in their formation, he was always talking to the other three. Definately doesn't look out of place at CB, although can see he likes getting forward so probably more suited to the LB slot but while we need him at CB and he plays like he is doing, I won't be complaining

Think it showed the frailty of the makeshift defence, we've coped against the poor teams but hopefully we can have something looking like our first choice back 4 in place for the Walsall and Burton matches.

Just out of interest if Jacob Murphy could be bought at the end of the season, would you ? and what would the fee likely to be ?

Like a shot. I think this boy is going to be a star

You can tell he's a little older than Kent and Armstrong - think he will be a huge star - no way Norwich would let him go cheaply
Grendel
Well-Known Member
Clearly yes as he is an instrumental player and more than anyone in the squad when on song can make a difference.
If we get promoted and Norwich stay up there is a chance but the fee would I guess be upwards of £3 million
Sky Blue Pete

Grendel - you still anti signing Cole and Bigi? And if so - why do you think TM is so keen?
sw88
Chief Commentator!
Yes. Yes I would. Realistic target IMO especially if Norwich stay up as it looks like they will

I would have taken the draw at half time.

Anyone know what his contract situation is? If he has a couple of years after this summer, yes his figure may be £3m. However if it's less, so will his price tag be (not wanting to state the obvious but hopefully My point comes across as intended
)

Didn't he sign a new deal before.coming here? I thought that was why he didn't come at the start of the season. I could have dream that though.
