Well said. However graft alone is never enough. Just consider the legions on here who can't stand Jamie Mackie and Sebastian Polter. Did the Board not implode last week when the two were paired up to start against Fulham? Clearly we need a balance. There is a place in any team for a playmaker and/or a forward who has the intelligence to unlock a defence. However there is an obsessive belief among managers and most fans (we are no exception) that a playmaker who will create chances or score in almost every game does not make a valuable contribution if he does not also tackle, win balls, track back, mark his opposite number and defend when we don't have the ball.

Very true

If graft was the only factor we could field a very enthusiastic Not606 side against Birmingham on Saturday! If in my case a rather unfit and lacking any useful footballing skills 50 yo. I would be issuing plenty of instructions on the pitch though :emoticon-0102-bigsm

One of my pet hates this season has been the decision to get everyone back when defending a corner, such that 10 of the opposition are also deep within our half. To my mind this merely increases the pressure on us should the ball get cleared from our penalty area. Having Polter back defending is one thing, but why Junior (for example)?
 
AS i said before
Ramsey would not be good enough and sadly I was proved right.
I said stick with NW until the end of the season (I really believe we would be better off under him).
I then didn't want JFH and still don't. I will stick by my comments.
I just hope all the JFH fan club stick with him next season when we are not doing well.
We shall see.

But then where would we have gone after this season under Warnock? More than likely to Hasselbaink or a similar manager.
 
Not everything you say Ellers is a fact

We got rid of Benny because the board wanted promotion. That is fact.
THAT FACT IS BASED ON ONE TWEET BY TF

JFH is not going to get us promotion (again a fact but if i said it, the happy clappers would argue). so let's say realistically.
AGREED NOT THIS HALF SEASON HE HAS JUST HAD, BUT HOW CAN YOU BE CERTAIN NEXT SEASON

The football under JFH has been poor and i cannot remember a good game. (he even says it himself). That is fact.
I REMEMBER BRIGHTON AND ROTHERHAM...I AM TOLD AWAY AT FOREST WE WERE VERY COMPETENT

The lack of organisation and commitment against Fulham was shocking. Again fact.
THAT IS A FACT BECAUSE I SAW IT WITH MY OWN EYES TOO

He has won 2 in 14 games. not good enough. Fact.
FOR THE HAPPY CLAPPERS...HE HAS LOST 4 IN 14, WE ARE CURRENTLY 12th



PS...NOT SHOUTING...JUST SHOWING MY RESPONSES...SORRY
Not everything you say is correct (like your posts about Bolton wanting it more than us) but take on board what you say, even though i don't agree.
Only losing 4 in 14 must look good for an ex-premiership team with the squad we have in this division? But what do i know? Maybe i shouldn't watch us or listen to many fans or media or professionals who are saying that we are underachieving. I must be watching Barcelona with Pep in charge.

I don't have the answers Watford. But if getting players out of the club to balance the books then NW could have done that. I am saying that JFH is not the answer.
