Fenton must be gone for the season now. He needs to get his surgery done rather than in the off season. We can't just keep chucking him out there so he gets injured.

Ridenton on for Hicks?

Yeah thats bloody odd. Hicks was not being effective but not worthy of being dragged unless we are changing shape.

Ridenton on for Hicks. Interesting. Is that Ernie accepting that Hicks wasn't up to that trequartista role?


Must be. Acknowledgement that we'll need someone to fill that role for the next 6 weeks so might as well try Ridenton. Makes sense.

We are playing well as a unit with great structure. However we are missing the creative magic from Ifill, Carlos. Its hard to see where we are going to get a goal. Plus losing Fenton cuts out any attack out wide.


In situations like this you really need your more senior guys like Brockie and Cunningham to step up and do something. Unfortunately Brockie is just missing in action AGAIN. He just cant stand there and wait for the million dollar ball so he can wack it in....he has to put him self about. Cunningham is just about as invisible.


The Hicks at attacking mid is not working.....good little player but not commanding enough in that position. Plus we are playing so narrow he is getting robbed of the ball in tight situations. Get Stein in there and get Kenny wider. We are still in this though you think that WSW have a goal coming soon...a point would be brilliant.

I'm really enjoying your posts. I learn something and agree.

Kenny as a striker ? ok......... We are sure to win 5-0 now lol



Oh you told us so did you?????????????????????

Stop being a twat.


I did tell you.  C'mon mate, it's the new year !

No you didn't. The argument was in how he would be used. We wont know that until the game is over. If he was used how you called it, then you'll get kudos.
Yes. You called it. He played the role of Carlos. Kudos for you.

He also got dragged cause he was doing nothing, like I commented and a couple of others agreed with.

Can someone tell Hersi to seriously fuck off? I just think he is so overrated.

Really need a signing fast, maybe 2 or 3 if Fenton is gone now too.

Jeezus, Boxall.

Yep, I thought that too.  No sympathy for guys who stop getting legitimate calls because they go down so easily.

Is this a New Year Resolution for Harps and Co.? To give more Kudos to the Nix and Match Officials ?

Agreed. At least Boxall tried to provide a bit of comic relief
