    Of course the table is a fair indication now. Almost every team played once. Would like to make it to January in as good a position and see what Cellino comes up with in terms of finances to attract players or keep what we have

    Debateable sending off covering defender and whether it was hand ball is also up for discussion, your keeper MOM and we had a 17 year old in goal and he did not have a shot to save in the second half. Decent game up to the red card one period of four 50/50 tackles in the space of a minute excellent. The ref was crap but the liner down our side was worse. All the best for the Christmas period see you all again in May.

    Chaps, another post you should skip past. LL has upped the ante. We're now exchanging dissertations.

    Yes. No need to piss everyone off by having them read these exchanges unless they really want to. Chesh is already whining, and that's after a win! :D
    I beg your pardon! I referred you to Andrew Dalton's Twitter feed & offered to paste his responses in for you if you couldn't access them. Since you clearly haven't looked, let me reproduce the short conversation:

    Whitejock @Whitejock
    @lufcstats Has Ant ever scored whilst playing as a lone striker in a 4-5-1? Pal says yes against Fulham & Blackpool last season. I disagree

    Andrew Dalton@lufcstats
    @Whitejock no on both, he came on as subs in both.

    Whitejock ‏@Whitejock Dec 13
    @lufcstats To confirm, although sub, he wasn't playing lone striker, was he? Morison on pitch at same time, so unlikely IMO #BeatTheBlackDog!

    Andrew Dalton ‏@lufcstats Dec 13
    @Whitejock correct
    This is a clear confirmation that you got it wrong. And anyway, as it was you that was making the assertion, shouldn't the provision of proof have lain with you?
    Now that you've been spoon fed the evdence, the floor is yours ....
    Absolutely. I wholly agree. But the original issue that sparked this exchange was not an opinion - you stated incorrect facts as the basis of your opinion (see above). That is different.
    Nope, you didn't. You initially said you wanted Ant to play as he was better as a lone striker that Wood, and had scored 2 goals last season as lone striker. He didn't. Then you changed that to preferring Ant & Duke because they scored regularly under Hockaday. They didn't. So whilst you may have considered your assertions to be opinion, they were in fact opinons based on inaccuracies, which I feel fully justified in rebutting. I have persisted as your reluctance to accept evidence has left me aghast.
    I was talking about the value of challenging & winning headers, and questioned who out of Ant & Duke were going to win all these balls. I then clearly mentioned that this same skill is very useful in defence & Ant & Duke would not be able to contribute there either.
    It was not a comparative, and the grammar used confirms this if you check. Hate to be a Grammar Policeman again, but an inference is taken, not given. I simply made a statement of fact based on what I've witnessed on the park. Btw, try to find some highlights of the Derby game & watch Wood's goal.
    I've seen it, as has anyone at games. Have you missed them?
    My opinion is actually very similar to yours. As I mentoned above, I took you to task as you were presenting incorrect facts as truths to make a case for Ant.
    Not when you lie, IMO.
    No idea. When did Ant or Duke last score with their head?

    You can't say that........ Some here want / need to believe we are going up.
    With ten men after a wrongful sending off you played bloody well.
    All the best for the season,

    My eyesight is not failing, just my aiming! :D

    It wasn't the most entertaining match, but I never felt they were good enough to score, so it was a reasonably comfortable watch.

    Bloke on 606 also thinks your going up don't think he saw the same game as me but..... Thank you for being honest about how we played as well also some of your fans on Twitter were extremely scathing about your lads but you won and that's the way the cookie crumbles

    I wasn't going to mention you pissing down your trousers and far be it for me to miss pointing out the obvious. WE weren't good enough to score despite playing for an Hour against 10 men. Now I have seen the stats it points to a team that dominated possession but couldn't do anything with it. Two shots on target in 90 minutes and not one in the last 55 minutes...... That's ****e however you want to spin it.

    What's going on now. What have I missed. Random posts in the middle of match threads?

    Nothing unusual about that. As for what you have missed it would be easier for you to tell us what you haven't.
