Mashed Potatoes

He got an assist.

What sort of board do you think Venkys would appoint to replace the present members ?

Despair no longer ! Our Under 21s have beaten Celtic 3-1 tonight.

According to the website www.footballwebpages.co.uk average attendance for this season is 14,225 compared with 13,478 last season. This might not suit the agenda of those who enjoy talking the club down but there you go.

But isn't this season's average attendance up on last season's ?

Then the poster, whom I believe claims to have been employed in the newspaper industry, should use the correct tense.

But the post to which I responded stated "gates are falling".

I meant right now. I got the impression that our average attendance this season is up on last season.

Are gates falling ?

He's in the "ressies" because Forest didn't think he was good enough to be in the PL squad. We have not stopped any other Championship club from going in for him.

Financial compensation for what, exactly ? He's still getting paid by Forest.

So disastrous that last night we won our game without either of those players.

Why would you be "done" when we are having our best season in both the league and the cup competitions for several years ?

Berge is a better player which is why Premier League clubs want to sign him but don't want O'Brien. Sheffield United look very good bets to get promoted with their present squad so I don't understand why they would want to weaken it given that unless they can make another signing today the embargo is irrelevant for this season.

They are under an embargo but would be able to come out of it if they sold Berge so that's a decision they have to weigh up.

Do you have a link with the detail of the new rules as I have some questions, specifically : 1. Does "wages" include employer national insurance contributions and any pension contributions ? 2. Whose wages ? Is it all employees or just players ? 3. Are there any exceptions like, say, home grown players under the age of 21?

And all that time you spent researching him so that you could tell us he was no good has gone to waste as well.

Which rather proves my point. 3 goals in 22 games at Stoke means that there would be significant doubts about him.

The only loan movement of a forward player to the Championship who would appear at this stage to obviously look more promising that I can see is Cameron Archer to Middlesbrough. Other than that I am struggling to see anybody who is likely to be better than Ugbo.

Yes, of course you are entitled to your opinion - it was more the certainty with which it was expressed - "truly desperate stuff" - that jars. Surely you could tone it down a bit until the poor guy plays. I think the reality is that the club's budget together with the cost of proven goalscorers means that whoever is signed in this position is going to come with some doubts attached.

He hasn't kicked a ball for us yet - and already you've decided he's no good. Nothing like having an open mind, is there ?

No - we did it away to Bradford

You have to wonder if JRC's long term future might be in central midfield rather than back up right back as he seems to have many of the qualities that we need in there.

Rubbish. The owners had to put the squeeze on.

The ban on increased expenditure came from the owners - so how is that a reason for firing Steve Waggott ?
