    I was going to say they couldn't read, but that'd be wrong as they'd have to read it to respond.

    I'm happy with poor, it worked, I made a fist of it and we'll dust worselves down and go again.

    Many more stood by the team when things went tits up every week as well. Few want to wallow in it though,st don't go around expecting a medal about it or turn

    You should write a book.

    I read it as "Depth of Squad" A. Myth, and was wondering where options B, C etc where.

    What a load of bollocks! My 'tenure' started in the Appleton era and many, many times I have come away from a game and described the performance as 'tripe'. Accepting that the team have played cr@p does not diminish you as a supporter, in fact if you're the type of 'fan' who walks away at the end of a game like Rotherham and doesn't admit how cr@p we were then I would worry about your mental health!

    While I agree with your point, I don't see why you wouldn't just write "crap".

    Just about spot on ^^^^ this.!!!

    As for the depth of the squad, that is without question as Saturday once again proved it to be the case. However some extra firepower (at least one new striker) would not go amiss either in the transfer window or when the loan window opens up(8th feb).

    Brighton certainly have very little depth.

    Derby also struggled @ Hartlepool of all places and they started both new signings Camara and Blackman.

    Brighton got off very lightly with us.

    Derby have given Hartlepool their share of the gate money. Nice touch.

    Yes it is. Maybe Derby felt guilty for stealing the game ? :emoticon-0125-mmm:

    Chelsea also gave Scarborough the same and Roman also bought Scarborough new kit after an FAC game a few years back.

    Striker and goalkeeper are two areas without much depth. We know Bruce doesn't trust Jak, he kept McGregor in earlier in the season even when he was having a nightmare.
