JDT isn't really doing anyone any favours with that interview. I don't agree with him that we were as good as West Brom In the first place but IF the problem today was merely the fact that we weren't winning Personal duels, weren't smelling danger and missing chances then that wouldnt really be his fault that IS the players fault. I realise he's trying to deflect attention away from the players and not hang them out to dry in public but enough is enough, they have to take some responsibility for the mess we're in and I can't see the harm in JDT saying this simply sn't good enough from them. There's only so often the "this is happening because they're young and inexperienced" line will wash. BTW Jon January isn't turning out to be a very good month either!

The only way he will do anything is if he thinks his £300k p.a. is in jeopardy. Otherwise it'll be "nothing to see here".

Think he said blew money on Wahlstedt. And "decent fees by their standards" for Hyam and Szmodics. Which at the time they were.

No way we could afford him - thankfully.

If only we were in that position now as opposed to not being able to make any signings.

Can't do that, we probably haven't got another set. (Seriously)

Broughton or Wahlstedt?

Anyone think we would get our £2.5m back for Hyam now if we tried to sell him? As for the £800k on Wahlstedt, as I've said before, would have been easier setting fire to it.

We can only hope.

Can't see him walking out and forgoing any compo, can't see us sacking him in order to avoid having to pay him said compo, it could be a game of relegation Russian roulette for the rest of the season based on how well or badly the few teams still currently below us do.

At least (up to press) Sheff Wed. are losing and Huddersfield only drawing. That might be the only thing which keeps us up at this rate.

Do we scout people? If so, how did we end up with another player not fit enough to play professional football in Ennis?

Well JRC might, Gallagher won't make any difference whatsoever.

Absolutely.

God no - haven't we suffered enough already?

Of which Gallagher isn't one. Mental if we've turned down actual cash for him, we ought to be snapping anyone's hand off who were willing to take his wages off the wage bill let alone pay any sort of fee for him

Twenty games to go and a ten point buffer from the relegation zone. Will have to hope that's enough as if we drop into the bottom 3 at any point I don't see this squad having the bottle to get out of it. Could be a close run thing on current form. Can't see anything for us at West Brom so the gap could be shaved a bit more.

Don't worry Parson, Andy obviously has a weird fan boy thing about Wahlstedt given that he refers to him as "Leo" and Pears as "Pears" so he's hardly likely to judge him objectively. I agree with you. We can't go on with the keeper giving 1-2 goals a game away. Pears makes the odd blunder but with nowhere near the same frequency as Wahlstedt. Nothing whatsoever sticks with Wahlstedt the ball's like a bar of soap. He can't even make a simple catch, he always has to pat the ball down.

Was about to point out how many Elliott scored. You know actual goals which people no longer seem to think are important for forward players as long as they run around a bit. Clearly a Brighton fan, or on the wind up, or both.

Thanks. Being allowed so many surely defeats the whole object of the thing.

Can only be a good thing If it means bar of soap hands is a bit nearer to being removed from the fray. I note Ennis is starting , is there no upper age limit for plying for the "under " 21's?

The dissatisfaction around Morton centred around the fact he was keeping Adam Wharton (who imo is an infinitely better player) out of the side. How much further on would Wharton be in his development now if he'd had more gametime last season. Braithwaite WAS crap for us and also managed to get himself ridiculously sent off as well as I recall.

Elliott is a very good player but not elite level imo. Can't see him ever being a regular starter at Liverpool but if he can carve out a lengthy career there as a reliable squad member then I don't suppose he'll be able to ask for much more

If he can't recover from a couple of poor performances he's in the wrong profession. Will this lad from Villa be an automatic starter or a bench warmer? If the latter the whole thing is completely pointless unless the idea is to shift Battys wage off the wage bill and get the PL Club to pay for their man in exchange for game time.

Very good, unlike your man but even he dropped off markedly in the second half of the season.
