Sorry the concussion has killed my sense of humour, I've woken up with a North American sense of irony.

Snowball Derby!!! Its Rolling. McClaren knows these players. We are playing catch up but we have already caught and over took some good sides. We will catch Brighton.

Jan will be interesting

Remember our conversation about Butters Backo, I thought he was quietly efficient, BJ he destroyer and Hughes with the flair completed each other well. Too much standing off in the first half but second half we dominated in every position.

Complemented each other well*

If Fulham sign Martin Iwas then it will be. Id be very choice tho as where to stregthen us.

We're hard to beat but still think we need to tweak if we want to have a chance at automatics.

Yep i do Tommo. Butters is a floater. I trust him with the ball...but he is a very intelligent footballer. And hes keeping Peabo benched.

Some pace in central midfield.

Someone in the front three who can hold the ball up.

Still think we need a big black athletic type in the middle, like Diame.

How poor was Carayol 😱

Bent has learned how to lead the attack rather than just play as a goal poacher. Someone did a good coaching job. Vydra hasn't mastered the art. We need someone to lead the attack next season as Bent will be close to retiring.

Ironically not having someone hold the ball up is making us keep our shape with the discipline we lacked for the last two years.

But Bent is holding the ball now. He uses athleticism to get to the ball first where as Martin used strength. Very few air headers from Bent now.

I'd be happy with a 'ratter' w/e the colour.

Try a Jack Russell.

Im a big Martin fan but its time to move on and take the money. But if McClaren can get him back then i will back him on it. Hes done worse.

I think they'd have given us more of a game if Vaughan and Predator started. Crayola was 💩, Mills was 💩, Bendtner was the best Derby striker on the pitch 😂.

I recall being told that their front 3 would walk into our side, it appears one tried 👍

Bent is doing well but he doesn't link up play as well, neither does Russell and Ince tries only after he's touched the ball 13 times in succession.

It's about getting a few more options I think to help us.

Still think Vydra will come good for us.

McClaren I hope has told him so and he knows his future lies here.

I think so too we just need some more variety to give us a few more options. West Brom will be a good test of our defensive resolve.

So athletes don't have strength,

Lots of air between Sparta head now.

I read it as Martin isn't very athletic...... but I have been smashing the Corona's down me

Just a thought...If McClaren was in charge from start of season how many points clear would we be now? Love it that he is back.

Not all Igor. Distance runners especially are quite wimpy.

All professional footballers are athletes but some seem more athletic than others. Athleticism is hard to define but you know it when you see it.

So name the perfect CF in Sparts eyes.

This century and hopefully from 14 on.
