This point may have been made before, but why are attendances lower so far this season than last when we have not only made such a good start to the season, but are playing entertaining football? Does it just reflect the absence of season ticket holders that haven't renewed?
How many of the players that people want to keep would get in a Premiership team - I am not talking about the elite here. It's interesting that few of players we sold to Premiership teams, apart from Barnes and less often Ulloa, play regularly for their new clubs.
What matters now is preventing this from happening again. It's pointless having a wonderful stadium, training ground and great support with a rubbish team. We must invest in some decent players. How can Bournemouth do what they are doing with gates of 10,000? We must also keep our best players...
Absolutely brilliant display - he made more saves than Stockdale has all season, holding on to the ball, rather than parrying it. Also his distribution set up a number of attacks by kicking long, rather than just rolling the ball out to our defenders to keep passing around between themselves.
Talking of Bruno, does anyone agree he is a poor defender because he runs away from attackers, but is skillful and a good passer, so might do a job in midfield?
Should we win promotion, how many of the current squad do people think are of Premiership standard?
I would include Kusack, Upson [although he is nearing the end of his career], Dunk [potentially], Ince [potentially], Ulloa and Buckley, plus possibly Forster-Caskey, March and Lua Lua.
