    Do you know if that 11 includes passes that weren't completed? Seemed to be a lot of times that when he was passed it he was either the wrong side of the defender or got a nudge and wasn't able to control it.

    Which you're entirely entitled to think. Everyone's tipping point is different.

    Unlike some others I don't consider differing opinions as some kind of personal attack or threat to my masculinity or whatever they use to justify their behaviour.

    Fair enough I stand corrected on the politics.

    No worries, was just curious because it looked to me like we did make a sustained effort to play it up to the forward but he managed to not get on the end of it more often than not.

    I get the impression if you caught him asking for directions to the stadium you would just tell him to f&ck off :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    We have I've been told a guy here today, but I bet its money that stops it going through, its the Leeds lad I was told. So just kidding.
    The deal was supposedly agreed on Sunday.

    That seems like the most concrete link so far Bob.

    Decent signing if we can get it done.

    If one of his own back room staff say he's crap, I tend to believe him.
    Cos I've known this lad almost 25 years and a honest lad he is

    great news that. It’s an unsexy sensible post but essential all the same

    If Stoke really were shyte then it would detract from our performance tbh.

    In reality they had more possession, corners and shots plus some good chances.

    Birmingham, Norwich and Watford were worse at home imo, Sheff Wed, Hull and QPR away.

    Stoke weren't great but a fair bit of that was down to our energy imo.

    Logic would dictate that we are no worse or much better than last year based on current position and points so I guess one person's logic is another's opinion. As for the Conservative party I should not really have brought politics in to it so that is my fault.
    On the footballing side I do not think we have been worse all season but we have struggled to find form over the last 10 games or so but we have also managed to stay in and around the play offs which in itself considering the upheaval within the club is some achievement.
    All in all I hoped we would have been closer to the top 2 this season and early form suggested this may happen but we did hit a sticky patch and we lost some important games at the wrong time. I do not think we are worse just think we are adapting and moving players to find the right fit. I am not sure on MB but am willing to give him a chance.
    I can see the problems at the club but choose to support the club while it builds and moves forward rather than complain about what it is not doing. Yes issues need to be raised but some fans and posters seem to take it to the nth degree and go over it again and again trying to convince anybody who is listening that it is of huge importance.
    What is fundamentally important to our club is the support for the team on match day we should be the loudest most feared ground in the Championship with fanatical fantastic support bouncing from the rafters from kick off to final whistle but instead we have people moaning that the half time bovril is too watery or some other crap! As you can tell it gets me frustrated. People need to remember what the word support means and our fans should and do show it more than most but some of the entitled complaining really gets my goat as there are still a lot if positives to look for even when we are struggling. I even said myself a few weeks ago that I could not see much light at the end of the tunnel but like most tunnels they eventually end and light is visible again.

    This is a team that has just got a draw off Ipswich whilst down to 10 men something that we couldn't do in two attempts, I'd go as far as to say if stoke looked ****e against us (which they didn't) then it was us that made them look ****e
