How about a ' try and score from the halfway line ' competition at half-time. Kicking to the South goal, with the keeper 15 yards off his line to start with. His legs will be tied together, so when he back pedals, he inevitably slips and falls over, for comic effect. Nothing to do with reality...

As I said in my post....he is no longer a novice....he is approaching full maturity as a player. The question re Dunk....is he improving sufficiently enough, season on season, to mark him down as a top PL defender and possible future International?

Dunk is not a novice anymore. He has a number of regular seasons under his belt and I am starting to be a little concerned that he doesn't seem to be able to maintain his concentration levels for long periods. Sure, he plays the captain courageous role, throwing his body on the line, right left...

....and, quite clearly also well known to investigative journalists, who fed the information to the BBC, who initially named and pictured the assailant in action, on the six o'clock news but by ten o'clock they had been instructed by police and security services to say nothing. I watched the...

Yep.....and thats why fans saying four away defeats in the last seven doesn't matter because we will rack up the points at home,are off the mark Eddie Howe had a good counter-attacking side in the Championship and adopted an adventurous attitude away. They demoralised many teams by coming at...

....but we have been saying this about Murray away from home, all season. He starts most games and has scored two goals. Like Knockaert, he is a ' home pony ', in his comfort zone and performing well. CH should be giving Hemed a chance in away games. To bring on the immature and unproven Akpong...

Sorry....but six straight wins v Leeds meant we had the psychological advantage going into the game. They had just failed to beat QPR at home and started yesterday in a cautious and slightly nervous fashion. We handed the initiative back to them. We had nothing to lose yesterday. I would rather...

No complaints here. He simply shouldn't start every away game. He does nothing away from the Amex to justify it. He and Knockaert both play at a lower level away from home and it shows. Hughton does himself no favours by giving Murray start after start.

Plus....why did we not see Hemed.....plus why was Murray on for the whole game?...two away goals all season. Plus why bring on Akpom instead of Hemed? Plus why give Skalac so long? Plus....WHY NORWOOD?

Certain players are regularly underperforming away from home. Hughton needs to have a re-think with his starting line-up at QPR.

It was another poor performance and another away game where certain key players failed to perform. These are the players who razzle dazzle at home but tend to give shorter shrift away. Hughton keeps faith with these players and surprise, surprise, away form doesn't improve. He needs to rattle...

Another away trip scuppered. Four of us were travelling up on the Friday ( leaving late afternoon ) with a stay-over involved. The new kick -off time rules out the possibility of going. On a Friday, round the M25 is potentially 4.0 - 4.5 hours ( brief stop included ). Before anyone chips in...

The point I was trying to make was that a flying start can carry you a long way into a season e.g Huddersfield now and us, last season. Sixteen points from six games is a fantastic cushion and has helped Hudds ride over some dodgy patches. We were the same last season, when the same start helped...

The respective records are as follows..... NEWCASTLE................P 30.....PTS 65.....PTS PER GAME.......2.17 ( 99 ) BHA................................P 30.... PTS 66.....PTS PER GAME..... 2.20 ( 96 ) HUDDERSFIELD..........P 29.... PTS 52.....PTS PER GAME..... 1.79 ( 88 )...

Huddersfield are an ordinary team, playing above themselves. At the start of the season, there were very few, if any of their players that you would have swapped for any of ours. They were picked off quite easily by Newcastle, who had an easier night than against us. The three best teams in this...

A win or a draw is fine by me. We have now proved that we are determined not to get burned off by Newcastle and for weeks now, we have been keeping pace with them. We are going nowhere other than up. There is far more pressure on them than us, particularly at home. They will be dangerous as they...

Last nights result leaves a very sour taste in the mouth, similar to Chelsea's dramatic resurgence this season. Players control the game now, not managers and coaches. Pampered and cossetted, they decide their level of commitment. Its like turning a tap on and off. Paid a basic salary beyond...

I smell the festering, open wounds of those that glibly mocked and demeaned Trump and Farage for a very long time and now, still cannot bring themselves to accept the change that is taking place. Quiet reflection has been replaced by foot-stamping and over-reaction and a desperation to see...
