deancoles 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2007 No Carey or Fontaine and we still kept a clean sheet with Tamas Vasko(1st game in months) sounding great, he's 6'5 and is better on the ground than in the air which didn't please some of us who were expecting a Nemanja Vidic type.

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted December 30, 2007 Sigh, it can all bollocks, but doesn't sound like we got hammered at least and Sodje & Jeffers should make a difference when fit.

deancoles 0 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 We're close to signing an Aussie playmaker called Nick Carle from Genclerbirligi, hope he's more Paul Agostino in quality than Luke Wilkshire. http://www.smh.com.au/news/football/bristo...8949744769.html January should be interesting, Jevons, Russell, Betsy and Keogh are going and there's an evil rumour linking Portsmouth with Marvin Elliott for £2.5m because of the African Nations.

Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted January 1, 2008 Slightly off topic, but I totally marked out yesterday when Peter Beardsley walked into the store. I couldn't stop grinning, he chatted and shook my hand, was totally awesome. Then moments later David Edgar showed up and no one knew who he was, poor kid.

And Franchise, I am so, so sorry it didn't go in. That's the end of that chapter. lol We're slowly getting better in this league, we should have taken three points from Newcastle, should have gotten at least a point against Liverpool & shot ourselves in the foot against Bolton. Still, we have this Emannuel Villa (argentinian striker) & Danny Mills signing for us. We're also rumoured to be signing Robbie Savage. God, if that happens. Derby fans might just riot.

God I hope we can afford his wages, we're screwed without him. Also, I don't think you'll be getting him back. He had to play while injured against Liverpool and Bolton, and that was because we had little defensive cover as it is. We've lost Jay McEvely for the season too, so I think MJ will be staying. I don't know why they can't recall Nyatanga. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deancoles 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2008 Yesterday was like a friendly, got a crowd smaller than the Coventry game the week before and we were playing at about half of our potential, glad there's no replay.

deancoles 0 Report post Posted January 10, 2008 Jevons has made his Huddersfield deal permanent, did a good job last year in getting us promoted, the double at brighton last season was amazing. We've also loaned out Russell and Brooker(hoping to finally get match fit) to Cheltenham, 20 clubs wanted Brooker but being local he can spend a few days a week here as well.

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 Wednesday are going to be right in it come the end of the season. I think there's enough teams to go down before us, but only just. If Jeffers and Sodje had been able to get any number of games together I think they'd be a really good partnership by now. Clubs have also realised that we have to sell Whelan now for a pittance or lose him in the summer for nothing, as he ain't signing a new deal, hence bids of £400k for a player worth at least £1m.

Anorak 0 Report post Posted January 13, 2008 We had a new look team out yesterday and should have won by more by all accounts. Howard and Hume can be the big man/little man combo up front and for the first time in 3-4 years we have a proper midfield with REAL PROPER WINGERS in the Hungarian pair we've got on loan. Add Oakley in the middle and it looks promising. Couple of tough games coming up against Norwich and Palace but feeling more optimistic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheFranchise 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2008 Still not quite sure why we sold Oakley, I know we bought in a few midfield players in Ghaly, Savage and Robert, so maybe with Barnes in there too, Oakley just wouldn't play. But still, maybe he wanted Savage as his new captain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

'Now all we need is Shearer as assistant, £25m and some quality players and we'll break the top four, what he's done at other clubs is irrelevant'.

PLAGIARISM! 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2008 We should have been more than a goal up at half time. We were so knackered by the end that I didn't expect much, but why Lunt took a pen after completing approximately zero passes I don't know. We needed a break really so I'm not too upset.

deancoles 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2008 With transfer deadline on Thursday it seems we're after a striker with Dele Adebola and Joe Garner the only ones we're confirmed to be interested in. If no one signs we're left with Byfield,Trundle,Enoch(who turned down a move to Leeds last week) and Steve Brooker out on loan at Cheltenham getting games under his belt.

deancoles 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2008 I'll be optimistic and say he'll actually make it to the summer and spend his "transfer warchest" on England Squad members like Bridge,Defoe/Bent and maybe Carrick before leaving by "mutual consent" in October after drawing at home against Reading/Wigan/Middlesbrough.
