Comment | McKenna: Blackburn Have Been Hard to Beat
at 00:02:57
Make no mistake, this will not be a walk over. They are better than their league position and under a new manager they’re hard to beat. However they haven’t chalked up a win, just draws. Even though we’ve had key players on international duty and Burns out we should have enough. Tough tough next 5 fixtures. If we can glean a good haul of points from them, who knows, we can May be able to dream….. |

Comment | McKenna: It's a Massive Challenge
at 08:57:19
Let’s a tricky one this. Even though we are in form and Southampton have had a couple of howlers. Midweek at a bogey ground for us…. I have all confidence in us but it’s not going to be a goal feast… another measured, in control 1 nil win will do it for me. |

Comment | McKenna: Walton Ahead of Schedule
at 10:53:23
2 great keepers…..!? What about Mr Slicker, I thought he’d be pressing for the no1 spot. Or was he simply cover for Walton’s injury? |

Comment | McKenna: Couple of Players With Minor Issues
at 10:41:56
It's gonna be a tough one no matter who we put out. The league is the priority. So let's get some of the periphery players in the mix, stretch them and see what comes out at the end.
Apparently we have Arthur Scargill advising on how to make such minor changes this week…… |

Comment | Clarke: It Was Special to Go Out There and Play
at 13:05:44
If not the best one of the best (with Broadhead) performances on the pitch last night. Was doing what JD was last season making our right side and WB much better. He never ran out of steam and was relentless at getting forward in great positions and getting back when needed. Probably one of the best debuts i've seem (and i've seen a few....).
One of our own, so young and so grateful for being back at his home club.... such a great signing of what could be a great player.... hope we have him on a 15 year deal.... LOL.
WELL DONE HARRY....!! |

Comment | McKenna: One of the Best Performances Since I’ve Been Here
at 18:30:00
First 30 brilliant but without being clinical in front of goal. Stopped pressing, let them get into the game, gain some confidence and a defensive error let them in. It's always going to difficult at home when teams come and park the bus…. Just needed to be more direct when playing from the back. Don't allow teams to park the bus…. But let's be hones, 2nd in the league 1/3 in. We'd taken that on day one wouldn't we…..!! They'll always be days like this in football, the trick is have as few as possible…. Onward and Upward…!!! |

Comment | Departing Skipper Chambers Truly Humbled
at 01:05:47
Sentiment sometimes gets in the way of the truth. Truth that can only be assessed with facts. So a ‘head heart' quandary.
First the ‘heart' He has dedicated the latter part of his career, with gusto, energy and passion. Giving lots to the cause and trying to be the best he could be. So you can't knock him for that.
Now the head; giving all you can during a game is a fundamental behaviour of all well paid professional footballers. What is true is that regrettably he has made a great career out of doing this. Which has overshadowed his lack of quality, lack of higher ability resulting in desperation and game changing gaffs. It is a sad state of the game that when a team is doing badly the manager is mainly blamed and inevitably is given the boot by all. But the captain (the players leader) remains. When you look at the clubs demise over the past 5 years managers have come and gone but there have been 2 constants. The owner and the captain. When you assess this fact and taking an objective view Chambo has had a part to play in the pitch failures. Nobody ever doubts his commitment but it's the application of this. Business is full of tryers, but tryers often fall short as they don't have all of the skills. Sadly Chambo appears to be one of these players. Everyone loves a tryer, but they don't deliver.

Comment | Chambers: Absolutely I Want to Stay, My Ambition For the Club is Unchanged
at 14:24:22
There have been 2 constants throughout the last 5 years of troubles. One is the owner, the other is the captain..... what you see on the pitch will be different from those behind the scenes conversations. I sense that Chambers is part of the problem. I think it's time for a change. |

Comment | Ipswich Town 0-2 Fulham - Match Report
at 12:21:20
ENOUGH NOW......!!!
Look at the 2012 squad and realise that the crop of players we have now have all been brought to the club by MM (granted there are 3 exceptions).
It is a team put together by a man who can not manage in today's current climate and by a man whose time has come.
Should he be given more money in Jan, he'll only go and get in the dross we have now. Granted there are so great talents and hard workers in the squad now but these players have been Mickyfied and have had any ambition, freedom and enthusiasm managed out of them.... more money to spend will only mean more wo's and problems as he'll just spunk it on more dross...
I've never been the backer of sacking the manager more an advocate of the 'Burley 5 year plan'. The uncertainty of who we'd get and whether things would get worse. However I think nothing could be worse right now....
As I opened; ENOUGH NOW.....!!!
