3 Penaltys given away by Judas half way through a season is not good enough for any player, who cares if he's versatile and good at attacking, conceding 3 Pens is shocking. Some teams dont even 3 penalties all season!.

wheres pleasure with the inside scoop

Anyone know the result? Did Jeffers play??

Kin ell hes not even fat you blind fools, Look at the picture on the official site with the shirt, he doesnt look overweight at all.

beattie was nearly 23 when he broke through in late 2000 - A series of injuries meant he struggled to make an impact at first with the Saints, but that all changed in November 2000 when he began a long goalscoring run. After 18 months without a goal, he scored ten in ten games, lifting Southampton into a comfortable position to secure their place in the Premiership for next season. However, his form dropped off after that and he scored only two goals in the rest of the season.

Thank you Wikipedia

I haven't written him off Rev. The couple of goals he's scored and the three or four that he's missed, do show an eye for a chance. There's much more than that needed to succeed at this level. I would really love him to come good and make it.

Like I said, he must start showing more soon, at 21 yrs old [in a couple of months], many lads are playing regular premiership football in their own right. Many of them much come through much younger than that.

Simple question, what percentage of strikers in the prem, come through past the age of 21? Anyone wish to guess?

Here we go again.

Andy Johnson was 22 when Johnson ended the season as top scorer in the English First Division (now the Football League Championship) in the 2003-04 season with 32 goals. Palace reached the Playoffs and were promoted to the Premiership for 2004-05.

Kevin Doyle was 22 when he started knocking in the goals for Reading last year, and 23 this season.

Our own Jason Roberts was 24 when Despite being fully fit for 2002-03, Albion's first season in the Premiership, Roberts managed only 3 goals in 31 games.

Zamora was 23 -In January 2004 he joined West Ham, swapped for Jermain Defoe

Marlon Harewood was 25 - He returned to top flight football following West Ham's playoff victory at the end of the 2004-05 season, and the 2005-06 season saw Marlon spearheading Pardew’s Premiership attack. He scored 14 league goals

Louis Saha was 23 when Fulham first made it into the Prem.

Viduka didnt make the Prem until 25 - The Leeds United manager David O'Leary swooped for Viduka just before the 2000-01 season after tracking the big Aussie striker for some time

too many players to go through Only the exceptional talents breakthrough at 20,21. Derbyshire has a few more years before people can start writing him off, lets not forget at the moment he's currently got the build and stature of a teenager, hes most likely a late developer, Im sure once he starts to develop more muscle we'll see a much stronger player, a bit like Bentley who was same when he first started games here.

Naming two players doesnt not go part way to what your saying, If you cant name all these 21 years olds who have made their name as strikers in the prem then why say it? Owen and Rooney dont count they are simple one off's in the last ten years.

So do people now think it was right to offer mokoena a new contract? We could see Axe starting a lot more games now, Robbie is one yellow card away from a suspension, and we know Hughes wont start Tugay in every match, and the fact Mark started Aaron against Arsenal shows he rates him.

Looks like the official board are a little less charitable to the Axe then people on here are

Rovers6 makes a point, seriously Mokoena would struggle to be a Good player in the championship.

Didn't Neill play this game of refusing contract offers at Millwall before he signed for us. I'm sure about the ins and outs but I do know that he's pretty unpopular with Millwall fans for the way he left on the cheap.

You could be right Mr.6 maybe the fans over at http://www.independentmillwall.com/ will answer the question!

How long does Cruciate ligament usually keep players out for? If its true, surely Reid will be looking at Next season now?....

If Pleasure is right, theres no way Hughes will go public with this until Feb, Club will know Rovers are desperate for a midfielder and obviously hike their price up....

Judas!

Gibsons Apocalypto was Bloody awesome! A complete edge of your seat surival thriller. The bloodyiness and was brilliant, ripping body organs from people who are alive The acting was immense for all untrained actors I believe.

Has anyone else seen it yet?

Heres to Mel Gibson staying behind the camera and creating excellent films, Id like to see him create a full on survival horror movie next, stick to what your good at Mel and thats brutalness with great cinematophy and character development.

Yes they would, Dickov got 10 a season, no crackers and he was still slated.

Anyone whos seen him for the reserves, has he scored any scorching goals ala Bellamy?, his majority of goals for wrexham were tap ins and 1 on 1's I believe.

Only his 3rd start of the Season, and 2 goals scored, the 5 minute sub appearances are useless to a player who spent all of last season at a poor championship side. If we're to see if Gally is good enough he needs to be given more time on the damm pitch. How people can write a player off after only starting 3 games. Remember last year he played on the Left Wing for Stoke all last season, was their leading goal scorer and Assists in a very poor championship side.

Or, I was pointing out that something was incorrect. Remove the chip from your shoulder, and perhaps you wouldnt get such a hard time.

And yes, he did.

Why do you keep taking sly digs at WSR?

Why do mods not warn you?

Why do mods have their favorites?

Why is Judas still captain?

Why is Gray so crap?

Theres no need we have the Axe, a top class midfielder who Mark rates highly.

likewise Rev.....

Why hasnt Flopsy told you off yet? again Moderators with their favorites.

Whatever... Its funny how people can have a opinion on here. But only if its the same as everyone else. I think Derbyshire deserves his chance. Its my opinion, im allowed to have one by the way! He deserves his chance...

Your judging your opinion on not even having seen the guy play though! Nonda deserves to be starting games, he played well until he had to be substitued, because of his injury.

Besides you seem to have a little your own little witchhunt going for Nonda, whats a matter did he break your remote control

FFS! You didnt even see Derbyshire play! he is far too lightweight at the moment to be starting games, Nonda offers so much more to the team.

Have you even seen him play though?

Cant wait to see the back of the clown, hes a poor defender and costs us far more goals then someone like Amoruso ever did!. Constantly hacking down players on the edge of the box, if he was as good as he think he is he wouldnt have lost his RB slot to Emerton.
