Probably be something like this:- https://www.pne-online.net/forum/index.php?threads/alex-neil-to-be-sacked.3430174/ ???

If we sold Travis, and the money was used to make us financial fair play compliant, and wanted to bring in somebody from abroad, which person or body then decides whether that player is above the skill level we can 'locally source'.

I think for us to get in the play offs, it would take 3 massively successful loan signings to cover the players we cannot sign, as well as adding 2 or 3 others to the squad in general. We are always going to need a goalkeeper, and we cannot keep playing full backs or midfielders to cover like we do out of the defence, so we have to bring a goalkeeper in permanently.

Only just got round to listening to this. Good stuff as ever. Interesting on the Lambert / Coyle / contract situation.

Yes, although Le Tissier scored a hat-trick in an England B game and still didn't get selected.

I presumed this was moved for Sky, but now realise it is on Sunday because of Derby's Thursday night involvement in the FA Cup. If Williams is fit I'd play him and move Nyambe back to right back.

I think Smithy may have been on the pop yesterday looking at that.

So Villa probably werent in the mix until late March. Im not saying we cant get there.

Bristol City have been in the play offs for many months already this season, and had they won any of their last two games would have been back in there. I never said you had to be in the top 6.

Therefore evrryone down to about QPR is "in the mix". And Preston are still "in the mix" for automatic promotion.

Even Cryer is having a pop at him now.

You have asked a question whilst quoting the answer ?

How far down the league would you define as being "In the Mix" at this current time? I'd say to Bristol City, as they have already been there and have been dislodged by Preston. Down to Derby probably have a chance of challenging, but aren't really in the mix. We are always 2 or 3 games off breaking into the top 6 IF results go our way.

Jim has pinned it to try and save face. When he realises he can't save face he will be bottom-feeding by quoting people off here again.

Been (and still am) a big critic but that was by far and away his most effective performance today.

No. That's close to getting "in the mix". We are always at a stage where "if we win today and win next game we will be top 6". Most people believe we have a chance of getting into the play offs if we hit a constant run of form. Most people don't believe we will get there.

Tosin has proved an excellent loan signing. Personally I never got the Cunningham appreciation though.

Travis probably. He's the most niggly, irritating player we have had in a long while and does like to leave a bit of 'afters' in with a tackle.

I have given you an answer to the questions which you ask above already. However I didn't get an answer from you last night on the question I asked You said that the article should have been written "either when Gallagher was out injured or at the end of the season"? I asked (now 6 times) why that article should have been written previously when he was injured or at the end of the season, but not this week.

I don't think I'm getting an answer on this am I ?

Because a lot of people were surprised that we dropped Samuel, who had played well, to return Gallagher to a role where he isnt a goal threat. Therefore Sharpe writes an article asking if Gallaghers role is about other than goals. This has been explained. For the fourth time, why was it not the time to write the article?

And many fans also disagree. Hence why Sharpe wrote an opinion piece to highlight the different opinions. I'll ask for the third time. Why was it the wrong time to write that article?

Why not? Its been pointed out that SG returning and going straight back in the side was contentious. Many thought he didn't contribute again. Therefore as it reflected the opinion of the fans and the topics surrounding the club at this time, why was it the wrong time to write the article? If the answer is 'because it might upset the players' then that is not Sharpe's problem. If he had gone over the top, or been out of order, then that's different but it's not like he expressing an opinion which is not fairly prevalent.

Why?

Gallagher was awful last night in the first half, and only slightly better in the second. The biggest gripe on this message board is why, on the back of two decent performances, we dropped Samuel to put Gallagher back on the wing. In fairness to Sharpe, he probably knows this and felt it was worth writing a fairly balanced article on it.
