Jon Flanagan anyone? Released by Liverpool and still only 25. Can play right and left back if I remember correctly.

He is first choice keeper at Bristol City and recently signed a new deal. Why would he come to us to stay on the bench?

What a top bloke. He says the right things and on the pitch he has got it right so far. Genuienly excited to see who we sign and how the team shapes up this summer. Imo without any recruits our squad would finish 15th or higher, so with some decent signings and a little luck, top 10 is doable.

Huth is a leader and we need a few more in the championship. Our overall squad needs to remain stable with about 5/6 new additions ( Chapman/ Armstrong May use up 2 of those spaces)

Pretty bad? That’s atrocious. Awful appointment. A managers job mid season is to improve the players available to him and give them some confidence. What has Lambert actually done?? Facts are that Moore at West Brom has shown what can be done, 1 in 14 or probably more pertinently 0 wins in 13 games. Edit 7.1% win percentage. Which manager in the history was worse? De Boer? Any other takers?

Tan did change the shirt colour from its traditional blue to red...then proceeded to change the badge of the club! He changed his mind a few years ago and subsequently the fans have warmed to him as he has admitted his mistakes. Tan paid ludicrous amounts of money on average players and that is why he limited his funding, perhaps agents involved here to? Anyway point is that Tan may not be as bad as the Venkys but that’s not saying much!

I am confused, he is seen talking to and pecking a girl on the neck in a night club. He wasn't pi%##& or seen dancing away. Really do not see what the fuss is about. It must be a quiet day if thats the best the Daily Fail can come up, a league one footballer and a girl from love island lol.

Love how you have plucked this 25 game figure to suit your argument! How about a team that lost 16 games out of 31 have now lost 3 in 13, what does that say about the job he has done? I agree with the point about coaches and transfers to a certain extent...However he deserves praise for what he has done so far, he is also clearly a man of integrity, which gets a thumb up from me.

But thankfully draws count too so I would say with certainly that we would have survived. He has had no pre season, no transfer window, very little time on the training ground with the players and took us over when we were in the relegation zone. I think he has surpassed expectations to get us to here.

We have won 3 in 13 games with Tony M but also only lost 3 in that time too. Based on a season we would be safe. The quality of the players is dire. For example, Forest had a striker they paid nearly 6 million pounds for yesterday amongst other players they paid millions for. Birmingham were close to play offs this year before the ludicrous sacking of Rowett and have spent decent money over January. Bristol City have a top class striker up front and again have spent 17 million pounds. What do we have? 250k for a left back, loans that no one wants? Let's not be blinded to the fact that Tony M is not the issue here.

6 points clear with 2 games in hand.

5 points gap but two games in hand. Context...we would have to lose 4 games in a row and the teams below us to win 2 in a row. possible, but not likely.

Just finished Orange is the new black. Super show.

Look at the last 2 seasons and the number of assists that he gets. He is one of the best in the league.

In Rhodes and Conway we have two of the very best players in the league. If they stay fit we will comfortably finish between 8th and 12th. I agree that it could happen but Bowyer has shown himself to be someone who is capable of leading a team to those positions. Promotion places? Not going to happen with our defensive frailties.

In my opinion there is as much of a chance of us getting promotion as there is relegation. We are destined for mid table. We have enough quality in the team to be 8th-12th this season with Bowyer.

Take my word for it, the first 5/6 episodes are slow but then it picks up. You will be hooked by the end of season 1. I am really enjoying Damages so hope season 2 continues with season 1. Agreed about Rose Byrne lol.

I was bored and have just finished watching the first season of Damages with Glen Close. Very good court room drama and lots of twists. Can I also recommend Justified. Superb American TV show where the lead and villain are complex and fascinating to see change as the show progresses. House of Cards is my favourite show of the last few years, on par with GOT and Suits for me.

The sad passing of someone always puts things into perspective. A valued member of the forum, RIP

Oops! cracking bit of skill to get into the position though!

Watch the goal at around 2.20, awesome, fantastic ball control, dribbling ability, skill and finish. He is certainly talented.

RIP, sad day.

R.I.P a tragedy, thoughts are with his family.

Ssn reporting he has signed for west ham on a deal til 2012,can't see any other report
