    Good Morning Everyone,

    A nil - nil draw away at the Charlton. Was it a point earned, or two points dropped?

    According to reports, a combination of luck, and an in form Silvestri kept the scoreline level, although late on Adeyami missed a sitter from six yards.

    At least the effort was there from Evans' men. His team were applauded off the field at full time.

    If Adeyami wanted to stay, who'd keep him? He would cost us 1m.

    What about Silvestri? He's made some howlers, but we all know what he is capable of. How does he rank against the keepers we have had in the last 10 years?

    Early days, but how does Evans compare against his predecessors, especially Rosler?

    It was only a matter of weeks ago that Leeds were ahead of Cardiff, now they sit in 7th spot (sixth spot last week). It's amazing what a run of results can do.

    Good morning gents and happy clappies.

    Charlton were in the bottom three. .
    Last week you talked of how many points we would get from the next five games including this one.
    People were saying 10 to 12 ponts, i would suggest most were thinking we would be taking 3 from Charlton I was. So now we will be taking 8 to ten points from them games and then we play teams that realistically we are going to struggle to beat. Expect to be in 17th or 18th at the end of January, probably safe but would that be good enought for you guys?

    The only reason the team were applauded off was that despite being lucky to be level at half time we had the better of the late chances.Ii will say it again we were playing CHARLTON and they have worse players than we do... Should have put four past them on paper. It seems some think our players cant cope with the expectation when playing for our club. If thats right they are at the wrong club.

    Silvestri might turn out to be a world beater (cant see it myself, too many deficiancies). But he is a young kid and we cant afford to have a number 1 who is growing into the job. We need a finished article....

    Morning all. Points away from home are a point earned. This week we'll be playing catchup with fixtures so should prove interesting. Games Thursday and Sunday. Need a win from those two to maintain the gap towards the bottom lot. Looking forward to the Wolves game and see what progress if any were making as the Evans honeymoon period is over

    The Championship is like the Prem, who would put Festa in top 4 or Chelski just above relegation zone moving into Xmas, not myself for one.
    Anyone can beat anyone in this league, and shall remain to do so throughout the season, i think the promotion and relegation shall go down to the wire.
    Rosler was out here as an analyist this weekend and Richard Keys touched on his time at LS11, he said that he was close to getting it right!!! how many say that once they are canned?

    Morning all.

    Evans better than Hockaday, no better than Redfearn, Rosler, Darko, all equal as I believe time will tell.

    Money we have spent on paying off coaches we might as well have splashed out on a decent one and stuck with him.

    Aye but they all had basically the same joe averages to pick from. Theres surely a limit to what a coach can achieve

    Redfearn and Rosler had to use Mowatt to an extent as we were very short on width, Evans has that width now with Botaka and he doesn't pick him which I find strange.

    I also find it strange that not one of the coaches picks Sloth or Erwin, I don't know why we waste money on these players if they are not going to feature and we utilise loan players ahead of them. It was the same last year, we had lots of loan players who never featured, all very questionable.

    McDaid - I remember reading this story and raising my hopes http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26669268

    Good morning to Matt and co from a dull Bardsey
    Rumours are flying that Evans maybe leaving .He said he would not allow MC to pick the team it appears that MC went in the dressing room at half time again and that does not bode well .I for one feel very sorry for Evans although I would be interfering in his team selections picking the 2 clowns.As I said its like playing with 9 men.Fortunately he took both of and low and behold we took a grip on the game and should have won
    I think that Silvestri is much better stopper than any body recently
    I keep on saying we just need to get a run together as there are no outstanding teams this season
    Adeyami is worth about 500k tops at the moment but he may have learned a lot from Bridcutt because if the latter goes I expect him to play in that position
    Players I would sell Wootton Doukara Sloth Mowatt in his case I think he will not improve so sell him whilst we can get some money for him and finally Byram

    Who was it said that Cellino wasn't meddling and ripped Ristac a new one last week for suggesting it? It was one of you happy clappy ****ers!
    Perhaps an apology might be in order if this is right.
    I know I will be collecting but if Evans gets binned in the next month I will get chance to have another bet on the next one going before 1 June.

    Adeyemi has a lot of potential.

    worth a million all day long.

    Botaka and Erwin have shown nothing to indicate they should start games, Erwin was signed knowing he had the potential to improve and not to go straight into the team. Botaka also looks like he has a lot to learn.

    Cellino was in the dressing room yes but many sources who were there say he said **** all to anyone. More tittle tattle as usual. Maybe he was there to see how Evans kicked their arses at half time. Whatever he was doing there, he wasn't telling Evans what to do.

    Botaka is the first player in feck knows how long that gets people paying attention because he can take on and beat fullbacks. Not sure what you are watching but IMO he should be starting.

    I don't think it's possible for Cellino to go anywhere and say **** all. It's not in his personality, he can't help but meddle where he's not needed.

    Like I pointed out last time, why enter the dressing room, it undermines the coach. Even if he sat there not saying a word it is totally wrong. Strange that Wootton was substituted a couple of minutes into the second half, nothing to do with Cellino eh?

    You don't think he is worth £1m but you think soon to be out of contract Byram is worth how much??
