I would expect we have one of the best senior and academy training facilities in the championship

why Woodgate an idiot as you have claim?

They need to get reality check there. Maybe their fans thought it would be easy to get promote from League 1. Speaking to my Ipswich mate, He says some fans are expecting too much. He thinks Lambert has mess around unnecessary with formation at times instead of keeping it simple. Says they need 2 or 3 new signings in January Wycombe and Ipswich both lost today

Really pleased that Morecambe won today. Would have gone today if I hadn't broke my foot

That's great to hear Dave. Hope we beat Wigan and Paul Cook gets sack there. Lets think positive Jim. Would take 1 nil boring win right now This division everyone can beat anyone. We need to focus on the job in hand and not take this too lightly

I totally agree that they upper management need to look at themselves over the squad size. O'Neill mention last night the lack of wide players at the club. Good. Said last week that Bielsa need to change his training regime there at busy times off the season. question will be asked surely there. Their squad isn't as good as last season. Does Rooney take over as manager or does Liam Roseniar take over

Stoke are mess. Different players from different managers time. You have players from Mark Hughes, Gary Rowett and Nathan Jones. The owners have backed the managers in terms of funds and signings. Stoke have to get back to basics. O'Neill said last night after the game, the squad needs cutting and he wants his own signings in.

which players? Hugill, Besic and Van La Parra? Hugill played 37 games and Besic played 37 games. Pulis recommendation Woodgate for the job there aswell. Seemed a sensible appointment to me if the policy was to bring through the academy players, cut the wage budget and look for cheap signings. Which at the minute it does look like

awful game.

very easy saying that Vinjay. But I knew in April that Pulis was walking away from Boro and Woodgate was getting the job. Even Waggott knew Woodgate was getting the job at the start of May even before Pulis had left. why Woodgate an idiot? But you haven't included in your list the loan players that went back at the end of season who was massive wages Like Hugull, Besic, Van La Parra aswell. that's like 100k in wages just there. plus players like Baath and McQueen who was on loan during last season. Also they have 6 1st team players out injured at the minute. Plus their 3 summer signings were 22/23 years old who was cheap signings and will improve as time goes on. Also cutbacks will happen in the summer when players are out of contract like Howson, Friend, Ayala, Shotton, Gestede to leave. That's another 100k plus saving there

I would say that Leech is the best spin bowler. Parkinson is good at county level but unsure if is test quality. Agree on Overton but isn't Olly Stone still injured. I would imagine the test side will be this Burns Sibley Denly Root Stokes Pope Buttler Archer Leach Broad Anderson

I gave Walton 5 out of 10 in my review. I gave Gallagher 6 out of 10. His work rate is there and he is getting better for me in terms of getting used to the way we play. Well Mowbray has told you the reason why Johnson hasn't performed for us as well as people though. So it isn't part of the reason but actually the reason roversfan99

Well like Gibson has said and done, he has cut back the budget and not willing to invest at the levels he did under Pulis and Monk. He wants to used the academy players and bring them through. If you look at the match day squad last night, they was 10 players that came through the academy and in the starting team was 6. Woodgate knew these academy players coming through and he said he would give them a chance. So I guess that one of main reasons he got the job. I think Stoke squad need a shake up again. O'Neill said last night his squad is overload in certain areas and hasn't got enough wide players he wants. I believe they have 37 players there with first team experience. So if that's the case they need at least 13 to 14 players out the door in January. I believe N'diaye is on way to a club to Turkey to complete a move there I feel that Wigan will go. and then 2 clubs from Luton, Charlton and Barnsley for the 3 places to go down

He has always give his all compare that he is coming good and scoring. He is getting to the way we played but we barely created any clear cut chances for him during his time. Yes he has made errors but he also has the 3rd highest number of clean sheets. well we have been told the reason for that loss of form. Travelling to work from Derby area isn't good for him or his fitness

Sadly I wouldn't. Walton has been ok for me but we need a long term number 1 signing in January. Someone like Ruddy have they rob a bank? firstly how they going to afford his transfer fee then his wages? My point was if PNE had all these talented young players why haven't any come through yet and why did they signed Bayliss for 2 mil. That's it a good point about our players we signed in Gallagher and Brereton. Feel Gallagher coming good just now.

And how many players recently(since Alex Neil appointment) have they bought through into the 1st team squad? Plus didn't they spent 2 million on Bayliss who can't even make the match day squad. Look at the players we have bought through last 3/4 years. Nyambe, Travis, Buckley with Rankin Costello next to come through. We picked Hilton from Everton in the summer and I think him and Fisher will be good keepers for us in the future. I'm not that bothered whether they are from Blackburn and join us 8 years old. How many kids age 8 actually make it. Bet not many?

Wrong again 47er but think what you want. I'm not interested

Was accused me of saying it was good decision then Mattyblue? I agree with announcing prices for each home game before season starts so people can plan their games to attend. Tho disagree with the cost of most games tho.

Brentford keeper coach is off to Arsenal

Did I say it was a good decision? Did I? With Birmingham game not being on Sky via red button is a bonus for this game in terms of crowd. I know people who have got tickets for this game as Christmas present. Did I say it was right tho?

I.wasnt there. No idea

Prices for all home games were announced before season started. Wigan game price got changed cos it's on TV and on Monday night

Dom Bess and Craig Overton called up for South Africa tour

Stoke need a mini clear out there. Players under performing there.

Assombalonga. McNair and Lewis Wing in centre midfield. Ayala and Friend in defence. Randolph keeper. Plus some good young players coming through like Spence and Pears
