    Net or gross? I'm not being critical here BTW, to get anywhere these days you need to spend big.

    I wouldn't say we deserved anymore than what we ended up getting. With the exception of any disallowed goals which would've earned us points.

    Possession and shots on target don't count for anything when the GK, defenders and woodwork are equal to it.

    Lambert etc don't deserve to score just because they've had a shot, no more than Boruc deserves to save a shot just because he's dived for it.

    We are where we are, we have improved and the age of the majority of our players would indicate that we will only get better(provided we keep them).

    I for one am enjoying the ride!

    Davis isn't a good keeper.

    You have a very decent squad at a very good age, considering its only your second season back. I can only see things going from strength to strength as long as the cortese/leibherr thing doesn't screw things up

    We like him. :)


    Boruc is unquestionably no.1 though, I think it's about two mistakes since he joined. If we didn't sign him, we would have gone down.

    That's definitely true. Long time ago though and he was the first one to sign up when Markus Liebherr took over in League 1, even though he had Prem offers. So he's popular for that, plus I think he is really well respected amongst the team. Hope he stays as a coach, probably wouldn't want him play 38 Prem games a season though.

    We all thought he found his level in league 1.

    Wasn't that just your whole squad?

    Was named as the keeper in the championship team of the year when we were passing through there. He's not premier league standard sure, but he's a capable backup and a great pro off the field.

    He has been superb for us, up until the start of last season. Even then he wasn't as bad as many people have made out. He was playing behind a poor defence, finding its feet in the Premier League and, as a team, we shipped a lot of goals. He was just a part of that but he took most of the flack.

    I think the same can be said when he played for you. You can't blame one player for the entire season.
