What is it with fans falling from stands right now, its happened here twice the last week and ajax as well.

Didn't one of ours fall through the roof once upon a time?

Scarborough. Their first ever league and they got us, poor sods!

Ajax one looked bad.

It will be a very different game at Peterborough for sure. Yes I am going and am pleased I have a different satnav to the last time I went there when I was directed to the middle of a housing estate on the outskirts of Peterborough and was told I had arrived at my destination.

I hope with a fortnight's break after this game that Jackett will play close to an unchanged team because a settled team will help us get to dominate games more than we have.

And we do seem to be going to Posh at the right time as their chairman's rant emphasised. And I saw Ferguson being interviewed after their loss last week and he was slagging off his own players. Never a good sign

Other than with the defence where we could potentially see a switch, I hope the front six remains the same.

That's the one, that looked nasty as well.

He was fine. Got chucked out but snuck back in for the 2nd half (or so the leg end goes).

Ha, a lucky man I would say.

Also a pre match stramash with dirty leeds skum.

Stramash?

A scrap I assume.

posted on 27/11/13

an uproar, a state of noise and confusion caused by large amount of booze on board.

Not so much a scrap Cinci, mainly a friendly exchange of bottles and profanities.

It was the furore after that match that led to operation GROWTH.

Bully and Thomo talk about it here about 2.15 in...

Cheers for that Tatts, some great memories in those clips and you're quite correct with trouble after the match, those were the days my friend.
I didn't realise GROWTH was launched in the aftermath of this match.

Dj I couldn't care who signed him either but does it make sense to give a new contract to a player who has struggled with fitness and is injury prone.

The only disadvantage with getting rid of the players now, that won't be good enough if we get back to the Premier League, is that we would be playing a 0-0-0 formation for the remainder of the season.

I can see a potential problem with this plan.

I really can't see Zidane ever playing in League One either Tatter.

We have a number of players that we don't know whether they are good enough or not Larry.

We do know that Edwards looked mostly to be out of his depth when there though, as did elokobi and now sadly it seems Foley won't refind his form with us either.
As for the rest, Doyle has prem quality, Batth and Doherty certainly look to have a chance and for me there is no doubt Evans and price have good futures as well.
Griffo is another who may have a shot along with Jacobs and henry, sako maybe?

Some will of course fail, but you could not conclusively rule out any of them.

We will have to agree to disagree there cinci.

On current form, we don't have a single player that would regularly get in a Premier League team (in my opinion)

Some of the players you mentioned have already fell short in the Championship, never mind the top flight.

posted on 27/11/13

You may be right when all is said and done, but with the young players there is always a chance, especially as they are competing with tomorrows star in the grade A academy.

I would lay money that Batth and Doherty have a real chance and Evans and price are both equally gifted and show signs of good careers ahead.

After that the next batch by all accounts is the best yet, let's hope we see them get the opportunity with us.

Should add mcalinden to that list, highly regarded and has interested Moyes for a few years if rumours are true.

I'll also be at peterborough saturday. Local game for me. Only half hour down the road. Hopefully we won't see any changes to the team. The only change id consider is doherty for golbourne.

Peterborough chairman is an odd one. Seems to have a few of these random outbursts a season. They've lost the last 5 now though so should, in theory, be the easiest game we've had in a while

posted on 27/11/13

I wouldn't change the side for the Peterborough game. The performance against Tranmere was the best for a while and I thought Golbourne had his best game for us so would be unlucky to lose his place.

Won't be an easy game, despite their poor current form, so keep the performing side together.

Only debate should be the back line, the front six should remain intact.

posted on 27/11/13

The back line didn't concede and looked solid.

I like Doherty, but he was dropped for a reason so needs to earn his place (which he will do). At the moment, provided they are all fit, keep Ricketts, Batth, Stears and Goldy, especially as Ricketts looked better at RB than LB..

posted on 27/11/13

Doherty was dropped due to just coming back from injury apparently, 2 games in 4 days was seen as too much.
Would revert to
Doherty, batth, stears, ricketts personally

posted on 27/11/13

I would be happy of any 4 from 5 in the defence really with Batth the only one that's an essential choice. I suspect for what is an important game, Jackett will opt for the experience of Ricketts and Golbourne as the full backs.
