If we'd just played how we'd played in previous matches it probably wouldn't have turned out as bad as it did. He completely changed the formation, personnel and way we played for that one match.

Doesn't score many but when he does they seem to be absolute crackers.

That first one against the Dingles would be nice.

Did that truckload of horseshit not leave with Greg Broughton?

I was hoping Doak would be on his way till Nixon said LW.

Vale going to Motherwell is a squad booster in itself.

Comparable to Mount Olympus according to Norse mythology.

Aasgaard, but he's more of an attacking midfielder.

Moran played well for us at the beginning of the season then quickly became a passenger, passing to invisible men or the opposition. He could make a good player though if he toughened up.

Preferable to get linked to players like this than what we were linked to when Broughton was DOF.

No matter how badly they are off, we still have a defence and goalie that concedes at least 2 goals per game. And a CEO who decided to rectify it by signing two defenders at the ages of 33 (soon to be 34) and 37. So I'll be delighted if we win thanks to our new exciting frontline, but it won't be a surprise if we lose thanks to us being as leaky as a second hand rubber johnny.

Yep. They've took the piss out of us for Venkys for years. Fit and proper, it's happening to them now. Two previously well ran clubs ran into the ground by foreign owners who haven't a clue about English football.

And they still aren't as bad as Venkys... Yet.

I think yesterdays match showed us that if we're ever having to rely on Vale we're in the shit. It's a shame we have such terrible owners because Stansfield at 21 years old would have been brilliant investment.

They bought the club with its own money. Then they let Vincent Kompany buy a squad with someone else's money. Someone posted the itemised debt somewhere and the carelessness was shocking. They are now in a position of having to pay it back whilst also raising transfer monies for their new manager. 120m+ I think. And the players who got them into so much debt, and relegated, want to leave because they've been relegated and VK has gone and left his mess for someone else to clear up.

Cantwell should be good in the Championship and especially with the type of style we've been playing. I just hope Cantwell isn't in place of a pacey wide player.

Against Wolves they are losing because they are shit. Against Blackpool we lost because we couldn't be arsed - also massively missing our usual midfield. Let's hope Burnley are still shit at the weekend and ours put a shift in.

Kompany and money.

We should be doing both.

Have you seen how much they owe?

Doak would be amazing.

A lot disagreed when I said our defence is shite earlier in the window and that we could do with a CB. Someone said, but we've signed Batth and McFadz.

Sounds like Burnley have been terribly ran by Pace and Kompany and now they just need to claw money from anywhere to pay their huge debts off. So it's a mass exodus combined with being unable to bring much in. I was fully expecting their fans to be rubbing their hands at our cup defeat this morning but they seem pretty despondent.
