Glenn Murray & Tommy Elphick

[FalmerforAll!**]

No worries. I'm more worried about losing Murray though to be honest. Elphick can be replaced by Virgo, we would struggle to find another Murray.

I thought Forster was bloody good today, although I think Glenn would have done alot better with the 40 yard passes in the air up against a 6 foot defender.

Having said that, when Murray came on he really was different class. One moment where the ball was played hard and low to his feet, he put it wide left to Richards with the outside of his foot before changing pace and recieving it just outside the box to shoot over. Absolute quality.

Didn't Bobby Z sign an extension to his contract to keep him at the Albion for x number of years ?

True that contracts ain't really worth the paper they're written on now

Now I'm all at sea !

I don't think Elphick is off - Micky specifically referred to him in the post match interview as having improved since Hinshelwood has returned. Also he has recently signed a new contract.

:wishfulthinking:

Why not?

Do you think my not reading it it will stop them leaving? (if thats whats happening)

Just seems like hes willing them to leave.

Forster is class. Though he comes in fits and starts which is the issue. Murray is top quality nearly all the time. If we had a midfield that was any good with Murray and Forster up front we would own this league.

I would honestly be worried about relegation if Murray goes.

After today game, and Murray being on the bench again. I honestly can see him on his way out in January. But I expect a big offer from whoever is interested. Because we won't let him got absolutely nothing.

Agreed, it would be very hard to see where the goals were coming from if we were to lose Glenn.

We're still after that Derry City striker. But I do agree with you, that if we do lose Muzzer then we're totally stuffed.

Swindon the worse side I've seen this season, but we struggled to break them down because of our constant hoofing in the first half. I would much rather have had Murray trying to win the headers than Forster.

Oh, and a big congratulations to Stuart Fleetwood, who actually jumped for a header today. Not once, but twice. He had a reasonably good game aswell, won a stick on penalty.

Only time will tell if Murray is going and for what figure. Then we will see the truth.

I saw two today - they came from Nicky Forster - partnered by Stuart Fleetwood.

And didn't we get £1.5m for him?

I'm sorry mate, but I'll have to disagree with you there. Tranmere were the worst side I've seen all season.

One was a good link up, fair enough. The other was a penalty.

To be fair, playing long balls over the top will barely ever work even with a big man upfront, and it's almost never going to work with two relatively small men up top. This was shown by Swindon's defence in the first half, and the only time we got it on the floor they didn't know how to deal with it.

In the second half, the long ball worked a treat. Their defence just seemed to go to pieces. Unfortunately for us, teams won't defend as badly as Swindon did. So unless we drop the hoofing and play proper football which I suspect we won't, I can't see us scoring too many with Forster and Fleetwood. I'd be thrilled to be proved wrong though.
