You forgot to say that Wilson wasn't worth 3m, wouldn't score in the Championship and then certainly wouldn't score in the Prem.

I never said any of that. I did say that we were right to sell him and a lot of posters who understand football economics and reality far better than you agreed with me.

Told you before. I never miss a midweek game and not only is Saturday a rare free Saturday for me the ticket is a birthday present from my daughters. Assuming I have your permission to attend that is. I know you're chief of the fan police.

Oddly you guess wrong. Seems despite the nonsense I received when I indicated Haynes' shortcomings has now been forgotten.

Grendel is never wrong.

Haynes is not a left back, scared to head a football FFS. Might make it as a left wing but simply cannot defend.

I think it would be good if we could send him on loan to a club who would be willing to play him as a left midfielder.

Haynes needs to go out for a seasons loan in the conference. People seem to forget how good he looked in the youth set up, jumping up to the first team was to soon for him. He may well have to take a step or two back so he can move forward again. He looks like a player who's lost all confidence in his ability and I can't see him regaining it at this level especially with the added pressure of a promotion push.

Not sure I understand the level of criticism this lad is receiving currently.
Definitely not the finished article but I can't think of anyone tearing him a new one in this recent run.
I'd say he's been a bonus during this chrisis as has the ability of Stokes in moving over.
The lad looks like he's grown an inch or two and bulked out a bit.
Yes he would have gone on loan for his development had we not suffered the setbacks and from my point of view that would have been their good luck instead of ours.

Haynes played well on Tue night. Walsall tore us to pieces down the flanks at their place (Phillips had to go off at HT) and troubled us very little there on Tue apart from a ten min spell before the goal. Haynes is doing enough to keep his place. A bit too hesitant about supporting the attack a couple of times on Tue but his decision making can only get better with games, just like Phillips has improved lately. Give them chance.

Think most people ARE giving them a chance, but I think we all accept that Ricketts is a much better right back than Phillips and Stokes much, much better than Haynes.

I think as soon as Lorentzson is fit he'll be in at right back, with Ricketts at centre back. That will also enable Stokes to go back to left back.

I would feel so much better about a back four of Lorentzson Martin Ricketts Stokes than with Phillips and Haynes in there.

Haynes wasn't that bad on Tuesday, but he also wasn't good either. Stokes has been consistently good all season.

Or when you disagreed that he had a good game, when you never even went to the game.
Grendel you find faults in most of our players at one time or another.

So what you are saying is that you don't talk sense either.

Rickets Ramage Martin Stokes

Fleck Vincalot

Well, basing my thoughts on what has been said about Lorentzson. If he's all they say he is then he will surely have to be first choice right back.

I think Ramage is just cover because we are so painfully thin at the back at the mo.

You do question the times when your body is letting you down and you ask if there is any point doing it but then you try to remember yourself as a kid when all you wanted was to play football and doing something like cleaning your own boots takes you back to that and makes you appreciate it more

I would love to take my kids on the pitch at the end of the season with a trophy. It would be a massive achievement and something I would be very proud of and up there with anything I’ve achieved

Considering that he still has name value that would allow him to coin it in somewhere, it's refreshing to read.

I just play football, recover, have a few more days off, eat well, live well, and it seems to be working. I am not saying it is the answer – the proof will be in the pudding if I am still kicking a ball two or three years down the line.


No let up in the pies, then.

I'm going to 2 games in a row for the first time ever. Am I a bandwagon jumper?

I wonder if you have ever been to two away games in a row?

Personally I never criticise people for what games they do or don't go to. But when they are there, I do think the more the merrier!

Thats Grendel in a nutshell. He moans that supporters are not turning up when we are getting good results. But when they do turn up he calls them bandwagon jumpers :D

It's worse than that. Before Cole was born dinosaurs roamed the earth. Since he was born there's not been one confirmed sighting of a dinosaur. 100% proof that Cole is responsible for the extinction of the dinosaur. What a bastard.

But we haven't had a world war. Surely that cancels out his part in the great Dinosaur extinction
