I will also say that most teams in the league get a smaller budget year on year not just dickov He deserves at least 8 games imo

I would love get someone like Jack Lester here but wont happen, for me not about a fox in the box we need a presence

Not for me

Thats got to be a 1st eleven that Di Canio had a bust up with now Thought Caddis was older than that dont know an awful lot about him though

Agree 100% which is why sat is huge as anything less than 3pts would leave us at most 2pts from 9pts when 6pts is very much within reach It could be happiness or suicidal on here come 5pm Saturday evening this hope its happiness What I dont think anyone on here is disputing however is that we are short in too many areas regardless of the budget we are on and fresh faces are needed especailly ones with experience to help the youngsters

Had a really long think about what i would play sat and this is what i think if we dont get anyone in of course Cisak Byrne M'voto Tarky Grounds M'Changama Furman Croft Montano Simpson Smith Thought long and hard and for me the only 2 real decision are montano or hughes and smith or slew or taylor So short up top and at the back its a worry we are just 1 injury away from short in centre of the park as well 8 Days will define where we will go this season in the transfer market, although we could get 3 loans in, big far the most winnable of our next 4 games 4 pts from the Stevenage and Walsall game would been the target for me i feel a lot more positive than this time 24 hrs ago probably as be my 1st game of the season mind you

Haha if you want share a room with a screaming baby by all means lol

Just to notify people in Jan, Feb & March Travelodge are running offers on numerous rooms for just £12 up and down the country if you book now Might be worth booking now and saving money on them long trips Not sure if playershop have a deal with them but remember book with them if you do even if only get us a few quid Deano

Couldn't agree more with this really isnt a hard task to do

If they are that short I would quite happily help them out as said its what I do for a day job anyway lots of ways can marketing yourself with little expense

In defence of the people who do it if anything like my company when cuts our made often find its to marketing the club might not be allowing them to do certain things as seems strange miss out on a lot of chances to promote the club

I made a suggestion last season to the club was so simple I also now working in marketing Every person who got on a coach to liverpool last season should have been given a questionaire to fill in on their journey asking how many games they attend, why they dont go more, address details and an e-mail address to keep them updated on future offers, it wasnt done and was a missed chance there were 50 coaches of 50 on each thats 2,500 peices of infomation from people that could of been taking and logged on a database if that makes just 5 adults join at £300 a pop for a st thats £1,500 more for the club and extra bums on seats Oh well been and gone now

I actually thought last night about saying give smith a go but thought would get slatted, we could do a lot worse One thing about smith is that he gets in the right postions or he wouldnt miss chances, we have a perfect player in croft to deliver balls into the box then play the averages, so if he dont win it should we get bodies in the box we may score, if you dont give the opostion something to think and deal with then of course they are going have an easy 90mins

If we would have held on v Sheff Wed and won than we wouldnt even be questioning probably and confidence would be high, thats all if's and but's though Saturday is certainly most not lose

Sacking someone two games in would be madness anyway after just being allowed to sign a player for money and giving him a 2 year deal Dickov deserves longer in the job before panic button is pushed

I wonder though is the bench weak because players are not good enough or the fact they have had such lack of 1st team football? Bozzy a decent keeper Winchester never gets a chance Millar not seen Brown never seen play Taylor has promise no real exposure to 1st team Hughes looks like could be a good player Smith probably not going to make it 2 ways look at that they are either not good enough or how will they improve unless they are given game time

Cotterill far from a long ball bloke as someone who has worked with him he pulls no punches no one undropable and worked with no budget before at Cheltenham & Pompey and delivered results at both not to mention has promotions at chelt and notts county on his cv If im honest think he would turn us down maybe but he has experience and massive passion which endavours him to fans

2 Options for me are Dyche or Cotterill I wouldnt rush into sacking him and we wont done im sure but after Stevenage we have Pompey away, doncaster away and notts county at home and not one of those will be easy games really could be looking at no wins from 1st 6 games then a big decision would need to be made Dickov appears to be able to do well in sourcing players just tatically he fails imo and unfortnatley for him thats a massive part of his job, big couple days in transfer market If we win saturday and win well all the gloom will be lifted such is football

Are say something already you shouldnt go back I know but give it 10 weeks or so we could do a :censored: load worse than have lee and taylor back at the club neither of who have kicked a ball for their new clubs yet Idea wingbacks be get brown and grounds further forward more options to be fair i wasnt there tonight just looking at comments on here, be there sat Time will tell but regardless what is said stevenage is massive could be 4pts out 9pts if goes well a poor 1pt from 9pts if lose and been 2 very winnable home games in that run
