Who said that?

Time for the likes of Rodwell and Bre..re...re..emerton to get some minutes.

Great post.

Only two points from playoffs despite a tough run of fixtures - do any of you think we have it in us to flirt with them this year?

Not the worst time for it to fall apart to be honest.

I cant help but laugh at Ipswich fans to be honest. McCarthy did a fantastic job there which is now being highlighted. Be careful what you wish for.

DG for me but EB a close second.

Harrison Reed might sound like an estate agency but boy that kid should be snapped up if possible. No wonder the Norwich fans wanted him back this season. he is 23 now and if he is not getting first team action at Southampton he should be looking to move on - to US. Been very impressed with him and he fits the ethos that TM wants - works hard.

Those assists by Bennett too - the guy is the man!

HA - Well if Brereton wants to become something here, get under grahams wing and learn cos this guy is a master at what he does. Not massively prolific but he brings so much more to the team.

Graham MOM for me. Damn I wish this guy was a couple of years younger. What a pivotal part of our team he is. We are going to miss him him when he finally hangs up his shirt, not just because of his magnetic ability to hold a ball up and make something of it, but his experience, leadership and obvious will to win that some players much younger than him will never have.

Are we all still alive - can we have a head count please?

unfckinbelievable - Only we can go 3-0 up and throw it away!

wtf just happened? Now they will be all over us with the wind int heir sails!!!

Squads equally as good as that have come down and suffered, the thing is they think they will walk it.

Fuck me Stoke look shit. I can't believe we are toiling so hard at this level.

Get that pinned up in the dressing room

Was in the LT today that he hasn't been playing because of the state of his fitness since he signed and also that he has been lacking in the defensive aspects of his game. Has apparently worked hard recently and is currently the second most athletic player at the club according to TM. Reckon he could be seeing more minutes soon.

Yeah think Armstrong was one of them.

Back then Etuhu to me was one of the least to annoy me among the likes of Orr and Murphy but even he shows the types that we have had through this football club in recent years. Best, Stokes and Duffy - I am looking at you too!

The kid must have something to have played so many championship games before he has even made 20-years old. Lets not forget that their fans were up in arms about him being sold. Plays for England youth too. He was played kinda out of position (though I heard he played in the 3-behind sometimes for Forest as well) for 30-minutes in a game where the team as a whole was pretty awful, so certainly not a match we should be judging him on. I can kinda understand a little that he cost a lot of money and for many, spending that money should indicate an instant improvement on the starting eleven, especially as it is 10x what we spent on our best player the season before. However, lets give the kid some time to adapt to his new surroundings, team mates, style of play and tactics.

Before he came to us I believe, when he did play for Sunderland, he was usually pitted on the left in the 3-behind and not as a striker. Probably where he learned a few tricks like that dribble and burst of speed he did down the left to set up a goal for Dack last season. Perhaps he was a little rusty when he came to us in the Championship and played in the striker role - either that or he is just a very intelligent player that knows what his strengths and limitations are due to his age and experience.

You certainly would but it is amazing how many of them can barely beat the first man or simply hit it right over everyone.

Nope - he will be gone in the summer I reckon to a top-end Championship club.
