    Morning Footie Fans

    A 1-1 draw on saturday, a game which we dominated. Was it two points dropped, or a good result away from home against a tricky side?

    Is it four points from a possible 6, and undefeated in the league this year, or are we free falling down the Championship ladder?

    Reading through Andrew Haigh's tweets (Sun columnist and Leeds fan) that Delph is on his way back, hit or miss?

    Cannot believe that we are still carrying all of our dead wood, we've even got Paynter back. When are the likes of Connerlly, AOB, (Kissa to be released), Paynter, Rackubka and Parker need to go, our squad is too big.

    Millwall got hit for six at the weekend, and are hovering just above the drop zone, so please be nice to them today <ok>

    Song of the day is your choice...

    Morning Elland <ok>

    First time in the office in about a month :(

    To be fair, I didnt think we played well Saturday (I only listened via audio though) especially against 10 men but palace is a hard place to go.

    We need to start dominating games again, the goals have dried up but do you think thats something to do with us sitting deeper to protect our goal? Either way, we usually go 1-0 down within the first 20 mins!

    Would love to see Delph back, but a CB/RB must be top priorty. Wouldnt suprise me if we get Delph back & Grayson plays him as a right back! <laugh>

    If we do get Delph back, I hope we don't just do what we did when we had him in league one and rely on him to do everything for us.

    Morning Radebeer <ok>

    Think he will be around midfielders with a simular abilty (snod,howson,clayton)

    what do people think about Townsend? Too early to judge but he does remind me of the ball greedy kid that wants to do everything!

    Bucks I feel for Townsend because I think he feels like hes got to do it all himself because Becchio wont hold the ball up or threaten,

    Also He made the Burnley defence look silly when other week hes a class player just needs game time

    Paynters a player thats now going to be in Limbo. No one will buy him after he proved he cant cut it in the championship either with us or Brighton & why we are paying him a decent wage (well hes taking us for a ride even if its only £300 a week!) he isnt going to look at reducing his wage to play in League one again! Hes at a big club & I got a feeling he will just hang around draining our resources. I said it at the time and still stand by it, shocking signing.

    I think also he bursts foward so quick we arent always ready! Need to work on some quick counter attacks when we have two natural widemen playing

    Morning all looks indeed like Delph return is imminent I would like to see Lichaj back with himalong with Andrews but I was also impressed on Saturday with how many so called lower league players have breached the gap .I think this is due to the fact that there isn,t much difference with teams below the top6 and teams in league 1

    Morning all. If Paynter's back & Becchio seemingly having lost his sparkle, maybe its just the time for Paynter & McCormack to stike up a partnership & push us up the league. Whatever else happens, a win on Saturday is a must.

    Morning all .

    Went to palace saturday..And its fair to say we werent that good..but still should of finished them off in the last 20 mins with all the attacking we did.
    Snoddy made the difference when he came on..Of course hence he got the equaliser for us.

    Just the final ball into the final 3rd letting us down yet again.

    Players of note on the day(well for me they were)..Snoddy,Townsend,McCorrmack,Lee,

    bum players of the day for me were,,Becchio,White ,Brown.

    But al in all still enjoyed me 1st proper away day match...well except no beer in the crappy ground..and the pub running out of Magners..Grrrrrrrrrrrr

    Morning Boggers & Badger (doesnt that sound like a 90s kids program!)

    Away games are magic, a real sense of us against the world <ok>

    Agreed we need 3 points against Ipswich. The league is still incredibly tight but we are 11 points of auto & I think we are all hoping we can sneak into the play offs & hope for the best!

    Young man Badger? I'm older than you are!!! Youth of today, not a clue!!!

    Good to meet up. Pity about the result. Silly basic mistake at the back. Maybe with Snoddy back & a slightly less greedy Townsend wide on the left, we can turn Ipswich over & push our goal differencee up a bit. Think we'd be 9th if we had a better goal difference & 7th if we'd actually won. Bit of doom & gloom everywhere today because we didn't win. But it could be a lot worse. We're still well ahead of Leicester despite all the money they've spent

    In light of the Millwall result, maybe song of the day should be one about our old friend SIX SIX SIX.
