Murray for me. Think he is a quality player and will score lots of goals at this level. Would far rather have a player of his intelligence than one thant simply runs round like a headless chicken. Kuipers and Forster would be up there for me too. As a favourite (rather than the BEST player) I...

Personally I like Kerry and am glad he has a new contract. Don't want him as our first choice left back but I don't think many league 1 teams will have a reserve left back that good. My least favourite is Adam Hinshelwood (by a long way). Drink Drive antics a few years back (leaving the scene...

Agree Completely :thumbsup:

Well if I was Ferrarri I'd be bloody worried that Kimi only seemed to start trying with about 10 laps left. He only made the podium due to Massa and Hamilton's problems. Good race for me - Had a nice little bet on Piquet to be the biggest improver in the race. Came in (e/w at least) at 66-1

I can't believe people are actually moaning about a FREE EXTRA being delayed a tiny bit. The club did not have to make the offer of free DVD's. If people just moan about them being slightly delayed they will just stop bothering and end up charging for them instead.

Pretty much what I expected. Think we have a good squad now with more strength in depth than before.

Good news that Maynard's gone. Guess it depends who replaces him though. Either way I think we are more than capable of winning

Sorry but it is really hard to have a sensible debate with someone who resorts to calling players names. Personally I think it is pathetic. Are you one of the mindless idiots that abuses our own players just because your favourites aren't playing? Last season we finished 7th. As has already...

You were watching a different game to me on Tuesday then. Thought he used the ball very intelligently, bought other people into play and had lots of good touches. Also chased the ball well and got into good positions. Agree against Charlton he was poor but against Ipswich he was very good.

Don't get me wrong I'm not writing Livermore off. I really hope he proves to be the answer in midfield. I just think if a player steps up a gear in friendlies and performs better than his competition then he deserves his place initially. It would then be up to Livermore to win the place back...

IMO El Abd has done a lot more than Livermore in pre-season to warrant a place in midfield. The difference to last season is that when Thomson and AEA played together last year they BOTH played the defensive midfield role (or at times part of a bloody stupid diamond!!). This year it is very...

But his success was with other clubs and in the past. I'd like to see himself prove himself here first before automatically being given the shirt just because he is a big name signing. The purpose of pre-season is not just fitness but for the team to gel and in this respect he has yet to gel and...

I genuinely hope you are right. If he is then it means we have another very good player. Just have not seen much evidence of it so far.

Agreed. With Thomson being encouraged to attack more and Cox and Mcleod being attack minded we need a defensive central midfielder. For me El Abd fills the role very well (and on what I've seen so far better than Livermore).

Agreed

To be honest I think it depends on the tactics used. Last season Thomson, whoever played alongside him, played very defensively. Last night he was joining in the attack at every opportunity. As a result a central combination of him and El Abd looks good to me. Also the addition of McLeod has...

Agree completely although would also prefer Hawkins to Lynch. Have not yet seen Virgo in Pre-season so cannot comment on him. We also did not at any stage have both first choice full backs playing together last night. Will make a difference when we do against Crewe (who also will not be half as...

It's interesting that against Ipswich last night the wingers continually got past the full backs and they get credit for good play. When it happened once against Charlton it was all Kerry Mayos fault and nothing at all to do with the skill of the winger. On the evidence of the last 2 games I...

Oatway was none of these things either but I seem to remember winning a couple of promotions with him at the spine of our midfield. With Thomson pushing forward and making late runs into the box we will have a very good balance with El Abd in a more holding role. Was interesting to see how...
