Anyone else agree?? (Evans is Crawley Town's manager)

I personally hope that no one will find this offensive; it's true after all.
 
With a couple of exceptions that is a fair assessment, but under our Supreme Leader we ARE playing Championship style football - bottom half at that!
 
Are you absolutely sure about that Sarge - we have prem players in name at best, we have a cretin as a manager - as I said elsewhere, just wait for Pulis to come out with the classic loser's cliche - at least we can concentrate on the league - cos by the living jingo = he had better be or else next season we WILL be a championship club.

As Huthy said on another thread, 3 seasons ago we would have hammered Valencia.

NOW - JUST LOOK HOW FAR WE HAVE COME - Really, cos I for one am sick and tired of Pulis and what he has done to OUR CLUB

I do not agree at all. What a load of ****e. Hope Pulis uses it as his team talk, that'll get the lads pumped up.

Your joking ain't you Sarge! Pulis is too negative to get the players pumped up is pre match team talk will go something like this

" now look lads Crawley are a smashing little side that work really haaard and it's going to be tough out there today, if we can hold them to 0-0 until about the 70th minute I'll then think about bringing on Jerome or Jones and we will try win it in the last 20 minutes, now listen lads don't forget no more than 4 players outside their own half at any given point during the game unless it's a set piece and remember no passing whatsoever just keep bombarding it in the air and hopefully Pete might just get his head on one, Dave will show you back 4 lads where to park the coach, now go out and enjoy it"
 
This man he speak truth Sgt and not through fork tounge..

It would P**S me off big time and If I was Pulis it would be plastered all over the dressing room walls at Crawley on Sunday.. Waddo is quite right.
Negative before we even start the game IMO...

TONY, just tell the lads to go out and "Shut this guy up" SIMPLE.. that said..
If we can not beat Crawley Town, I HOPE T.P. walks away in shame. And I MEAN resigns END OF. It's a game we do NOT want to be even thinking about losing.

Yep Crawley are playing well but for Christ's sake...up and at em not this stand off and let them have the ball.. Lesson's learned from Thursday night please.
 
Evans took some stick this afternoon.

We politely asked him the score.

Reference was also made to how portly he was.

Championship players

1. Delap
2. ??

The rest have the potential to play at a good level of EPL if they are played in their correct positions and the manager encourages the team to play in a positive manner.
I think about Whitehead a lot being Championship material and the jury is still out ot on him. He makes an impact when he comes on sub!

Enough said

Don't be mean Potts, there are some very good players in the Championship, and they don't deserve to be insulted by being compared to Salif Diao.

I think Sorensen, Begs, Shawx, Huth, Wilson, Wilko, Pennant, Etherington, Jones, Fuller, and Crouch are all good Premiership players. Others such as Upson, Whitehead, Whelan, Shotton, and Walters would probably find another top flight club if they were to leave Stoke, although they mightn't be regular starters.

What we do need is another wide player to put pressure on Pennant and Etherington, or give them a rest. Being forced to play Delap or Shotton out there when either of our two wingers is injured just isn't good enough. Which is why we should have kept Ben Marshall.

Sorry I think you misunderstood my comment to Cris tenter..Potter!
I was thinking the other player might be Diao. But I do agree that those mentioned are excellent player's when played in correct positions and on a regular basis.

I was actually wondering that IF....... we go out to Valencia on Thursday and that's looking more likely than not.
WHY does'nt T.P. just play a setttled team.. i.e. use same defence and wingers if fit and I'm sure we could put a run of results together. NOT sure if this Europa has really helped this season? But I would not have missed it personally. Great to be involved and I'm already looking forward to Sunday's game with Swansea. <ok>

Whitehead? IMO not good enough and that is where I think we need massive improvement in the summer. Plus a winger or two. To ask Delap to play there is ridiculous really.
 
Potts,

Agreed.

Salif was on the bench today. When Delap was sent off I thought he might bring him on in place of Jerome!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cris <laugh>
FOR ONCE, T.P. he do something positive. When I saw Delap sent off I thought OH **** now we go all defensive. At least Wilko was solid enough. What worried me was when the commentator said.. " Wilkinson for x and he likes to tackle too, sometimes on the wrong side of the laws of the game" <yikes>

I would send Delap and Diao on a sponsored bike ride to outer *****lia. Should keep em both busy till the end of May!
 
SCFC' s championship players:

Shotton
Wilkinson
Wilson (at left back)
Delap
Whitehead
Whelan
Collins
Walters

Could we get 20 mill for that lot?

We are spending money but regressing, hope Uncle Peters pockets are still full, because we really need a MAJOR overhaul of the squad.

PS not included Diao or Mama because they aint even championship standard.

And those are just the ones that play if you take into account the squad players!

So that realistically leaves, Ethrington, Pennant, Shawx, Huth, Palacious, Crouch, Jerome, KJ - Fuller, Upson, Woody although capable and quality on their day are either at the end of their career or on a short contrcat so can not really be classed as future players in the squad., By my calculations that gives us 8 prem players plus our keepers.

Exactly, out of the players i mentioned, reallistically how many would be starting for another Prem team?

My opinion, a big fat 0, sort of sums our Squad up.
