You budgies are clearly in a massively false position in the early Championship table...<doh> Your inevitable slide down towards the relegation will begin at the Florists tomorrow! <cheers>
Where's old Mike these days?
Is it that we keep winning, or that the 'Mighty U's' (always makes me laugh) lost at home to the 'Mighty Accrington' today?
 
I'm edging back towards the fence. I think on the bases of our current position AN deserves more time, but our performances are a concern and I'm still not convinced of AN's ability to learn from experience, adjust tactics and get the best from our players.

Errrm yes I think as we're top of the league with 5 wins on the trot, AN deserves "more time". :huh:

And no tweaking or tinkering (for the sake of it) yesterday,
exactly the same eleven as at Everton midweek.
Lessons being learned here, or a rare coincidence? :emoticon-0112-wonde
Edit - Can see Tettey coming back for Newcastle, if fit but no great need to change much else.
But who makes way??

I can see Tettey playing at the Nukes if fit. My guess is that Dorrans or Wes would make way - most probably Wes.

Same side as Everton??? Don't think so!

I'd quite like to see Wes dropped, as we may well need the extra bite in the middle, but I feel AN might decide to drop Dorrans instead.

I can see your point, Braveheart, but I think we may have to tighten up against Newcastle at their place. We may see Howson shifted into the hole with Brady and Jacob on the flanks, as I don't think Newcastle is the time to experiment. We could also see Howson move to WR if AN wants to shift Jacob to the left, in which case Pritchard or Naismith could figure. Anybody's guess really, which may be why we are where we are in the table at the moment.
