I thought they had had their chance and had their chance again and again and again. Perhaps he was on about Doyle and Seb after all, when saying what he did about replacing moaning old fúckers with youth.

they will come in handy for League 1

What you thinking WWFC, extra cover for the programme sellers?

Looks like Doherty won't be playing according to SSN. In other news, Mark Davies is out until next January with knee ligament injury.

doherty and robinson have both impressed me more than foley and ward since they broke into the side. the defence actually looks half decent now for this level and if saunders could grow a pair and drop RJ for batth then i'd be really happy with the back four.

now all we need to do is get a message through to him that karl henry FC is a waste of air and o'hara cannot play from a deep midfield position and appears to be unfit or unconcerned. and that the best right midfielder at the club is the slightly deranged looking pole that saunders seems to have sent on gardening leave. oh, and that siggy is a striker not a winger, and sako plays best on the left not the right. and hunt is slower than my poor old arthritic mother...

If I was Morgan I'd get you in for the last 11 games gb.

Agree on the Batth for "don't panic mr mainwaring" Johnson point.
And what has Berra actually done wrong, i know he's tried to steal the shirt off everybody he's played against for the last five years but he has been our best CB for a while.

tara,

morgan could have picked any one from the 18,500 who turned up tonight and they would ALL have told him our midfielders are shít. i'm expecting a banner next match and maybe a catchy chant from the south bank.

there's a woman STH who sits near me who has a young baby - maybe 12 months or so old - who always has to nip out during the game. as she was walking past today the kid turned to me and i swear its first ever words were "for fecks sake saunders, get henry off, they're killing us in midfield."

berra is gone for good. prefer batth, gorkss and RJ over him and he is out of contract in the summer. apparently has made a transfer request to the world wrestling federation but they turned him down because he grapples too much.

we will lose berra, RJ and o'hara this summer and save ourselves £5m in wages (plus pick up c£5m in transfer fees). christophe will go back to scotland where he will become a semi-professional footballer, spending his spare time pinning down sheep for shearing.

IF we stay up do you reckon sako will stay ?
For Jarvis / Kightly see Boukhari / Sako ?

if we stop up i am fairly sure we will keep sako for another season. probably only going to get bids of c£6-8m from poor prem sides this summer which won't be enough to entice M&M to sell.

i'd love to see boukari fit for a year to tell if he is any good or not. can't be any worse than hunt/forde/edwards/foley at RM though, even if we play him now while he is injured.

Agree with 2472 that the best two centre backs at the club are Batth and Berra. Personally I would rather we agreed a new contract with Berra than signed Gorkss. And I would happily let Johnson go anytime

As for the fullbacks, Doherty has shown promise and Robinson too at times. But don't think bringing them in instead of Foley and Ward has made us stronger defensively yet, and neither look to offer much going forward. Doherty I might stick with but I don't think Robinson is a better defender than Ward and there was a good understanding developing between Ward and Sako that we have missed and Sako has not got into the games as much since Ward was left out
