Our new year run of bad form.

i think we've held up ok so far, only stoke really exposed how much we've missed turner and we only have to play them twice a year. i do think another center half is needed though, much as i love mensah he is too much of a liability in terms of injuries. ferdinand i just don't know, he's had some outstanding games this season but i get the feeling bruce doesn't rate him. chelsea were irresistible when we played them, but the spurs game was a disappointment - i think that showed how much we miss catts and meyler. i agree with the positions we need to fill, i think a new center half in place of mensah or anton, and a big powerful striker to hold the ball up and offer something different. i'd also love us to sign a winger... and the loan players permanently, though maybe welbeck on another loan..?

 

As long as we keep hold of Henderson, we'll be fine

 

If only we could get the full team playing good at the same time. I find it strange, solid defence but cant score. Start scoring but midfield weak, score with strong midfield and defence goes again,

 

think it's a balancing act that bruce hasn't been able to fine tune as he would like given injuries and a couple of surprise walk outs. if we'd just had catts alone fully fit last season and this, i daresay we'd be quite a bit better off.

 

i still feel that top 6 is possible. only 2 points behind the scousers with them to play at home

 

I'm confident we'll beat Liverpool, but we need a result at Everton to keep them grabbing distance.

We're more than capable of winning at Everton, but they are a good side, and our bogey side.

Break has come at a good time for us.

 

its traditional in times of despair with our great club that we pick up results when we least expect , and lose the games we should win. that said WE WILL BEAT THE ALLOY THEIVES

 

I just think we're better than them chris, i genuinely do.

The 'kenny effect' was bound to happen, but Liverpool 1-1 Wigan shows that however much you polish a banger, the dents remain in the doors!

 

woosh your telling me, you wanna see the mrs, i plaster her in make up but no avail

 

Ha ha.

Ouch.

 

haha...........it shows how things of changed; that the majority of us are more confident against the scousers than we are against Everton....i think we will get a draw against everton and stuff the scousers at home!

 

no

 

???

 

i love crepes

 

I would like to see us sign Samba from Blackburn in the summer this would give us Samba, Titus, Turner, and Mensa subject to another deal or cheap Ferdie ? jury's out on him. We have Bardinio Richardson as cover and Ouhuna would like to keep him as hes good in the center as well, if we can add the Zog and a forward ie the Hulk then we are 3 players from a first class team

 

Roger,

I'm a huge fan of Samba, we'd not take a pummeling in the air with hoim in the side.

Didn't he just sign a new deal though?

 

We're more than capable of beating Everton and Liverpool, I agree it is a hard game especially away from home and yes, they are a bit of a bogie team for us but i don't go for the traditional route. We're a far better team (squad) than any previous years i can remember so tradition is out of the window, we are capable and will win. How's that for positive thinking?

 

He did. But ain't that sometimes used as an unseen "sweetener" for someone who wants away, as it increases their market price?

 

This is true mate.

I recall him saying 'he can't see himself ever playing for the club again' or words to that effect.

He'd cost £6-8million, but would INSTANTLY cure our set piece flaws.

A proper menace at the other end as well if Jordan can get the ball in the air

Welder,

Does for me mate, and very true as well.
