    For me the reason why we are winning games and have suddenly got awinning mentality rests on one mans shoulders .What an aquistion he has been already yes I'm talking about Sol Bamba
    He has fitted in to the team so well and has shown not only great leadership but a commitment we has rubbed off on the rest of the team .No wonder he has been made captain he's made for the job
    If we had him from the begining of the season we would probably been in the top6

    Did you recommend him? you recommend so many none of us can remember.
    The real reason we have won a few games is because we have had a slice of luck.
    There isn't one game where hand on heart you can say we have been convincing winners.
    Glad we won, but let's not get carried away... You should know better at your age.

    What a load of rubbish, we were unbeaten in the league during January with Bellusci and Cooper playing together, that is when the run started.

    You went on and on about how great Cooper was and now he hasn't played for the last two games it is Bamba you are raving about, just to remind you we lost the first game Bamba played in.

    I am not denying he has been a decent signing but to say it is all down to him is plain stupid, we can thank Murphy far more for the points.

    Sorry Ristac its you who doesn't know what you are talking about before Bamba came we had won one match in 9 gamesSince he came we have won 3 out of 4 2 away from home when we had only won one all season
    I prefer Cooper to Belusci as well that I agree on

    So five games unbeaten in January and 5 points against Bournemouth, Birmingham and Bolton don't count then compared to two wins so far and one defeat in February and Murphy's goals have no bearing on our recent climb from the perils of the foot of the table...

    I suggest you watch the highlights of our game against Brentford and how they cut our defence apart three times in the first half straight through the middle and how with better finishing we would have been 3-0 down, I believe it was the keeper who saved us from a worse defeat that day.

    That defeat also came with Cooper and Bamba playing together.

    All arguments aside here, he has been a brilliant signing thus far.

    Totally agree and I seriously doubted him and that he would have any fitness to even start a game. <ok>

    Glad we have him, glad he has been a success but he is just one cog

    Much as I like Bamba, he still has a shocking tendency to rove forwards on a regular basis, leaving us exposed at the back. Happened 3 times that I recall on Saturday. On one of these occasions, I have to say that he astounded me with his pace getting back into position.

    Spot on 60. The sooner we get him on a 3 year contract the better. By the way, who's the next CB coming through the ranks? They would do well to get a small amount of fame time with Bamba and then go out on loan to get regular game time.

    Good call, Boggers. Or let Del Fabro play alongside him. (Once relegation is a worry of the past, of course!).

    The reason your form has improved is the fact that Cellino has been kicked out, and therefore he can't insist on starting the imported flops like Bianchi, Doukora, Antennucci, Adryan, Sloth, & Berardi and the much better English players like Morison, Murphy, Wootton, Taylor, Austin and Mowatt are starting instead <ok>

    Our most recent win was 100% down to the fact we were playing a team that were complete and utter ****e.

    One year contract at best under Cellino.

    One year's better than nothing. But I hope Redders sits down with Cellino idc & sorts it out. With Cooper & to a degree Bellusci, best CB pairing we have had in ages

    Hate to say it, but our form has changed since Cellino has been away from the club!!!

    Bamba has really helped though

    With all due respect, I'd expect a wall fan to know **** all about football. The reason why player like Morison and the others you quote are playing better is because we've brought in players like Sloth, Antenucci, Ngoyi etc. There is now more competition to stay in the team than there was when they competed against the likes of Tonge, Norris and Hunt. When dross competes for a place with dross you end up where you are.

    So you are saying that the reason the bad players are playing better is because you've bought in better players?
    Please explain how once you dropped the"better" players and started playing the "dross" how your results improved?
