    Norwich Palace and S' land we might just stay up although only 1pt better than Norwich is worrying

    Might be worth playing Sorro and having Bego as our striker

    We are becoming a laughing stock mate. Who says the football under Hughes is better?

    Ricc mate we have always been on the same wavelength in the past and I totally respect your honest and unbiased points of view and your say it as it is attitude. Honestly mate if you can't see where Hughes is taking us you will soon be joining in with us. He is taking us down buddy unless January sees a massive turn around in staff. Pulis knew how to grind out ****e boring results with the tat players we have and Hughes as so far tried that many different systems and they are failing to work. With the out of work managers that were available when we appointed this useless ****** I think Coates has sold us short again!

    We dont know what managers would have come, especially when Coates told them there would be no money!

    I know we have mate but I do think you are being very harsh on Hughes

    It grieves me to see newly promoted clubs like Swansea and Southampton flourishing and playing exciting football and scoring goals and yet we have to constantly sit through dross and dire games. I've been a season ticket holder for years and feel like it's time we got to see some decent football and goals!

    I totally agree mate but it will take time and a lot of players going out and better technical players coming in

    I understood that you were not renewing this season. Appreciate you being a loyal and long serving (suffering) supporter like me and agree that some games have been crap. Last year most certainly. I have only seen Crystal Palace, West Ham and Man City live so far but got reports that Norwich and West Brom were awful. However some performances away have been heartening. West Ham, Man Utd (45 mins) and Fulham to mention 3.

    I want to say that Southampton bought Rodriguez at the same time we bought Crouch. He cost £8Million against the £10 Million for Crouch. Rodriguez is 24 I think and has a long future. Crouch is on the way out if he has fight upfront alone. So please place the fault on TP and his lack of vision for younger players! The way he treated youngsters was a disgrace from what I have heard!

    Tout a l'heure

    We came up with a smash and grab team, we didn't play football we mugged people. Most of the teams who have come up since have been footballing teams, yes some teams have gone back down again but they came up with the strength of what they could do with a football, not how they could stop other teams playing and set piece bombardments. Now we have to start and level the playing field while trying to keep a defensive cohesion, so players will have to go and others come in, we have some good players in defence and midfield but are woeful upfront. We need more zip from the midfield forward to create and exploit space and chances. We are in for a rollercoaster season of catch up in order to stay in the premier ship but we need to be right behind the team and manager for this to happen, hopefully we can string a couple of results together and the supporters at the games can get their voices back.
