I thought that the midfield looked a lot more competitive when Hammon came on. However, I was surprised the Nicolas went off and not Charlie.
I hope McGhee starts him against Reading. At least he seems to be willing to get in the box and have a go.
I do. Was it 5-0 or 5-1, can't remember exactly?
If I remember correctly, they still won the title that season.
OK, we're not going to win the title, nor even make the play-offs, but let's stop this Doom & Gloom. Yes, we were on the end of a bad result, but shit happens.
We had a weakened...
Good lad.
Great experience for him, I think that's 4 in 4. By anyones standards, that's not bad going. Nice to see him get 3 or 4 games at the end of the season for us.
Adams came through the youth system at Home Park
Sheffield Wednesday boss Paul Sturrock has raided former club Plymouth to sign defensive midfielder Steve Adams.
The 24-year-old, who came through Argyle's junior ranks, moves for an undisclosed fee.
Sturrock has always been a big admirer of...
Look, I want to watch a team that keeps me on the edge of my seat. If I wanted boring, I could choose Swindon, Bristol City, etc.
But I didn't, I chose Brighton because of the nail-biting finales to the season. Will we, won't we, how many points needed to get in the play-offs, to avoid...
41 points with 12 games left. A win on Saturday will give us 44 with 11 games left, and you would have to feel very comfortable about achieving that, considering :
1. How we have gone over the last 10 games &
2. Getting a decent keeper again behind a solid defence &
3. McCammon looking like...
Not wanting to sound like a 'Well, I told you so merchant', but all those of you who said that Marck McCammon was crap, the worst player you've seen in the stripes, etc, etc. Trust Marck McGhee, he knows more than we do.
Well, the boy did good today. Yes, he ain't Michael Owen, but he brings...
Now that the following have signed new deals where do we stand with the others.
Signed:
Butters
Oatway
Carpenter
Hinshelwood
Hart.
LK - still in discussion.
Who will be out of contract?
Right. 17 games left, assume 14 points required for safety, where are they going to come from?
I've been overly cautious, and I give us 13. That's taking into account where we are in the league, not how well we're playing. I expect us to do better in quite a lot of these games.
H...
How do you reckon it's going to go?
I've got very mixed views about this. I think as a team we look knackered, but somehow, someone (nearly) always digs in deep to do something special.
On one hand, I think the South Africans will be strong enough to get a win to draw the series. On the...
How far towards securing our safety would beating Notts Forest go?
If we win then:
Rotherham won't catch us, 17 points behind now, the best they can hope for is 17 points behind with 16 games left. Too big an ask IMO.
Notts Forest, will be 15 points behind, again IMO, too much to make up...
Seeing all of the comments ref play-offs and 'Well, Palace did it last year.' has got me thinking.
IF (big if), we did get into the play-offs and somehow managed to go up, do you think we should keep the current squad and use the money to secure our short to medium term future by paying off...
1. We had a poor start, 1 point from 4 games. Since then, we've picked up 35 from 25 games. 1.4 points per game. Keep that going until the end, we get 59.8 points.
2. We are gradually playing better and better. When Currie went, I thought we would lose our threat going forward, but with...
Seeing that the lad got a load of shit the end of last year, has anyone got any comments on how he did today?
I didn't go, but he seems to be playing better since he was dropped the end of last year. I thought he did well as WHL last week, apart from the one mistake the lead to the corner from...
Score 149/9 .
What's it all about eh?
So far in 5 innings in this series, Strauss has top scored everytime for us. It's about time that some of the others started to score some runs. Scoring a few runs in one innings in 5 just ain't good enough boys.
Unless it's a cunning plan, get bowled...
