I agree too... BTW - Lets e petition MP for Sports to bring back SE Counties and Football Combination before our beloved game goes well n truly down the swanny.

I wouldnt mind Garvan back. Not many players can spot a pass or through ball like he can.
Doubt it tho as he doesnt run around at 100mph for 90 minutes.
More than likely he was watching a right back even tho we have 2 or another centre half so when cresswell goes he can sign him and revert to 5 at the back with chambers and mings as the fullbacks. We cud get loads of 0-0 draws with 5 centre halves across the back surely?

BillBlue.....yes ,but what I cannot understand is the reason why.What is the point of getting in overage players and paying fat wages.I think what we already have is fine,but it just needs tweeting and moving a few players back to where they played at the end of last season,and why is Hunt not given a run.!!

Yes please Owen Garvan! creative playermaker we miss! Don't be silly MM only goes for defensive players be another defender or useless midfielder like Tabb.

I watch the ships coming in, then watch them go back out again.

Billblue - u have stated u want MM and ME out of the club. May I ask who u would like to see come in?

We don't have a creative midfielder with vision in the squad and we have not had one since Keane was here. I would be happy with a Garvan-esque type of player.

I just cannot see us getting any new faces in this window with all the rumours that fly about ???? So we will have to be content with what we have got,, and try to be happy with a mid table finish again ???? and know that we are the longest serving team in the Championship !!! Also Knowing that The Dark Lord and Jewellio spent most (and wasted) Marcus Evans available money for ITFC !!!!!!!

Unfortunately its the fans that are paying the price for Evans poor appointments!!!

Madness! Only a couple of weeks ago Mick McCarthy was the best manager ever.

The return of jelly legs?

Agree with GCB. I think we are less reliant on old has-beens than we have been for ages, and we are showing more commitment to youth - Cat 1 Academy etc. Surely it's a good thing long-term that money is going into setting up the Academy, rather than into a squad that we couldn't sustain under the FFP rules.

We got out of almost certain relegation last season, and we had good unbeaten sequences this year. We even fleetingly sneaked into the play-offs. Then we lose a couple of games, one against the best team in the division, who we matched for half a game, and all of a sudden everyone in management gets a blitzkrieg. Paranoia.

I agree that the last two managerial appointments were very poor, and our tactics in some recent games, especially Millwall, have been questionable, but you have to cut MM and TC some slack surely?
