    Spend over twice as much on wages as us and finish a couple of points ahead - and some of you are happy with Grayson <laugh>

    In League One.

    And you've spent more on transfer fees by my calculations.

    In 09-11 you spent 200k more than we did. Don't know how much you've spent on Henderson and Feeney, but I suspect it's more than the 200k we shelled out for Lonergan. We'll probably draw roughly level with your spending over the last three seasons at Christmas when we spend 500k on Danny Pugh. <ok>

    Clayton = worth £2 Million just on 15 games this year
    McCormack = worth £2million just on 15 games this year
    Bruce = worth a bag of quavers just cos his dads a ****
    Becchio = worth £2million on last year
    Lonergan = £1million (soon to be in england squad)
    Bromby = might just about be worth £250k
    Snodgrass = £3.5 million from Norwich turned down valued at £8million by Bates probs take £6million

    Pretty good investments

    Snoddy is worth more than youre whole squad :)

    I take it you're joking when it comes to Clayton, McCormack, Becchio, Lonergan and Snodgrass, all amongst the best in their position in the league.

    You can always manipulate figures to be in your favour - Truth is we are sitting 7th outside of a playoff spot = Not good enough need more investment.

    But level on points with 5th... We'd be at least sitting comfortably in the play-offs were it not for a goalkeeper who will never play for the club again. Not that investment isn't needed in January.

    YNBK - Probably agree with them yes but we are talking 5 players out of 11 being decent, less than 50% of the squad and Becchio and McCormack = can they both play in the same starting 11? - I believe Lees is going to be a great player but he shouldn't be expected to play 40 games this season. Conolly is a little up and down, White excellent going forward but defending he costs us at times, again hopefully he will develop and get better. Kisnorbo not the player we all hoped he would come back like...

    I would like to see us sign a decent defender, one who is first on the team sheet and the decision then is do we play Kisnorbo alongside him or Lees. I would like a better right back if I am honest and for sure a replacement for Howson. I do believe Howson has a squad place but not an assured starting position every game. I don't want us to sign Pugh, again we need a replacement for Gradel.

    Something isn't quite right this year, I don't know if Grayson planned to play with 5 in the middle and one up front and circumstances meant going 4-4-2 but I have come to the conclusion; decent manager or not he is hopeless when it comes to defence and decisions. Lees was right back, now center back, Conolly dropped now cemented, O'Dea left back now center back and White cemented in at LB and Bruce, even when we have injuries he can't make the bench, another why did we sign him?
