I concur with a couple if other posters, JDT's biggest test yet He us coming up against a very savvy manager who has pitted his wits against so e if the best un the world. He may have lost a but if the fure in his belly but he still knows his stuff. JDT wins this and it is on lose and the plot thickens making the game after even more interesting. I have a gut feel that our new man has enough about hime to get it done COYB. This new regime has me genuinely excited about us, been a long time. Even second in the league last year I had it in the back if me mind we would cock it up. Right now I just can't get enough of us reading every article I can, watching every video. Could this be the team to get it done? Big downer is, if JDT gets us in the prem by playing entertaining footy he will be gone in a flash. Lovin it right now.

Just watched the replay, what a refreshing change frim the last couple of years. Really getting excited about us again. Young Adam Wharton looks a good good player. Be very interesting to watch his development

Lampard may be desperate enough to shell out big bucks for Diaz. He really looked frazzled at their game, not sure he will last long.

Beggars belief dunnit? From the looks if things they did not talk much to the defenders about defending either.

I think JDT is taking this as a training excercise with a competitive edge. Still think he will want to win it

I went to school with you FFS. Heh heh. So much for Grammar School

I am in Missouri too.

Aoert from Roverstv it is ESPN PLUS. Occasionally on there. Dunno if anyone metioned it but there is an app I use to see if we on, Live Soccer TV lists all games around the world and shows what coverage is available be it tv or internet Rule of thumb, if it's on Sky it's on ESPN plus.

How do you live like that?

I loved that Martin said how we played against QPR and how different we were today Have vision of Martin going through, flippin pages in his scouting report wondering WTF? Love we are not Mowbaryesque one dimensional. Not getting carried away cos one or two of those blocks don't happen and the Swans are right in it but what a professional performance by the lads. More please.

Yes, of course he can turn it around. Or he can join the long list of flops who thought the grass was greener. Great performance. I was struggling to enjoy the game until it sank in we actually had a game plan. Shape hassling at the right time, back to front and in their net in short order, lovely goals. Yes of course it is only two games but surely we can be nervously optimistic because of what we have seen in this two games. Si that's what a proper manager.can do, love it. Let's see, as GS used to say, what he does after we get punched on the nose.

Wonder how long before Darragh regrets his move if he isn't already. All I have to say after today is Darragh who?

No they have just given him back the freedom ToMo took away at the very onset of his first team playing days. I remember Trav getting the ball and his furst thiught was to go forward, Mowbary dropped him until he developed the sideways and backwards mentality as ToMo likes.

Looks like JPVH is available and he loved it here. No whisperings of any inquiries from us, could it be JDT does not see him as a fit to his system? I don't think he is coming back which is a real shame.

So small clubs find young talent, raise them, coach them, school them nurture them. Then when they are old enough if they are any good the big clubs hoover em up for pennies. Who git oaid the pass that rule. Crooked as hell.

Thread's awful quiet for a Sunday

Even more so when you remember he was touted as an investment. So keep him for years, suffer through the bad times paying wages at al so when he comes good we can sell him for, well for nothing. Mowbary and his crew really stitched us up with this non management of contracts. Throw young Phillips in the mix too

You would have to ask Chaddy if he told Waggot to go get him too. Funny Chaddy meets with Swag and two days later we sign a player Chaddy has been championing for some time now. Coincidence?

WOW, whoopy do what a deal. Ryan might regret this.

He told Waggot in his sit down to go buy him or he wiuld be back to kick his arse.

Add to that the whispers that we will likely lose our top young talent to the bug clubs before they even kick a ball for iur first team. Rank incompetence by the Waggot and he ought to be unceremoniously fired. What has this Waggot policy of stepping over dollars to pick up nickles cost us. If we want to keep the likes of Ash Ohillips we need to be showing the love, let the lad know we want him and believe in him. Even though the top clubs can smoke us in the pay stakes but putting our arm round the lad and show him how actually playing will be better for him than going AWOL with a plethora of un used young players hoarded at the top clubs. It us sickening and even more sickening is that no one is accountable. Send Waggot and Venus down the road with the other clown ToMo. Don't go punishing our exciting young up and coming manager because of ithers ineptitude. Come on Venkies, vlear house of those who have burned you support the new team and get to themPrem and see some of your Rupees coming back.

So, Mowbary's huge outlay for an investment nets us a whopping 1 mil on the face of it?

Buggar, I lived on KINGSWAY too, 126.

I would like to have one of those. Lived a stones throw from Crown. Watched Stanley 68 from formation for a couple years.

I wonder if that thought is now entering GB n JDT's minds. I am hoping this is not where the oorch light comes in and they realize what they have done. Wondering why nobody told them that their "healthy budget" was less than half the other rivals. Hope not. JDT seemed to be keen on this fella imagining he might not be too pleased about now.
