    cool, bit of borderline friday racism, yeah, why not. you do post some rubbish, don't you chap, absolute guff. some of our players are better than this league, and they are better than fans like you. would you stick around? i wouldn't. i'd go somewhere else, get paid more, where i didn't have people who know very little about the realities of the game, claiming that i don't care enough, had given up, or am trying to force a move away.

    I do feel that tomorrow is just a 'stepping stone' and if AN has any hope of staying as our manager, then he needs to win the game, but then follow it up with a change in playing style/tactics for the future, as he really has become entrenched in the formation and so opposing managers can set their team up to defend against us.
    Should we lose tomorrow, I can see a mass exodus of fans long before the final whistle and the board REALLY needs to act during th international break and not delay!!!!

    Just out of interest, gruffnuts, what do you put the recent dismal run of results and performances down to? Especially last week in Sussex but surrendering to Fulham, Preston and Leeds in the cup as well?
    Something fundamentally stinks at the club right now and one or two who are concerned to see this happen are trying to establish the cause. DD included <ok>

    In any case, it's not just me and DD questioning the recent malaise at the club.
    Iwan Roberts article, which I posted on here earlier today says exactly the same things and so does this latest offering from MFW regular columnist Gary Gowers.
    It's patently obvious all is not well and some of us prefer to investigate and question why, rather than shrug our shoulders and put it down to "a bad month (or two, or...) at the office" <ok>

    I assume that this is the same Bradley that is a periphial figure at Derby City. He was never more than a workhorse, albeit a fairly decent one.

    I seem to remember him scoring 14 goals from midfield during our promotion season. Not bad for a workhorse!!! Some of our current midfielders never get into the opposition half let alone score goals! I'd have him back tomorrow!

    That's because they're too busy trying to prop up our incompetent defence.

    Take Redmond for example.

    One of the most frustrating players I have seen in yellow and green at times while he was with us.

    Now look at him at Southampton, he is absolutely flying. It's no accident, it's because he plays in a team which have a fairly decent defence. He is playing where he wants to and it's bringing success.

    REALLY sums up my (and I'm sure the majority of NCFC fans) feelings for tomorrow's game.
    I would imagine that Leeds will come out 'all guns blazing' and it's going to really test the passion/desire of the players and the team should that happen.

    But the 'doh' symbol was what the flook is the point of saying "Neil is looking for an improved performance"? Too bloody right he is!
    If the article had said "Neil is looking for more of the same as last week" we'd all have something majorly serious to worry about!

    He wants an IMPROVED performance!!!! Really, more idiotic words from a manager who hasn't got a plan b or a clue what he's doing.

    They are much " better than me" but I am not paid thousands a week to play football so being "better than me "is a frighteningly low benchmark .
    They certainly weren't better than Brighton .

    Also pointing out that an International footballer that doesn't speak English as his first language may struggle to understand someone with a "thick Scottish accent "( feel free to Google it if you don't know what that means ).
    Is not racist borderline or otherwise .
    How do you people function in the real World ? <laugh>

    I've a horrible feeling that whilst we may see a few tweaks to the starting 11 tomorrow, I'd be astounded if we see any change to the formation/tactics!!!!!!

    This has to be one of the worst posts I have ever read.
    You managed to fail on every level.
    Racism ? fail
    "Our players are better than this league "
    They are playing in this league and losing.
    "They are better than fans like you ?"
    God only knows what that means .
    "Would you stick around?"
    If I was contracted to and paid tens of thousands a month to sit on the bench then yes , yes I would.
    People like me that know little about the realities of the game have the cheek to question whether they don't care , had given up or trying to force a move ?
    You just sided with them in your previous question saying that they should get paid more and not have to deal with plebs like me questioning why they can't defend for **** and roll over meekly blowing leads or whatever the hell that was I witnessed last Saturday .

    Bizzare
