Jimmy Bone - Superstar

Interesting - so far it''s Snoddy in front on 7, BJ a close second on 6, only 1 for Howson which is surprising and 1 tongue in cheek for Becchio. This includes those that couldn''t make their mond up. I agree, they were all good signings and I think even Becchio could have been had he had a chance.

Thought I might be in the minority with Snoddy but obviously not!

So, Jonny Howson has gone to Boro - that''s the last of our recent ex Leeds signings gone then. Out of the four that we signed - Howson, Johnson, Snodgrass and Becchio, who do you think was the most of a success from our point of view? For me I would say Robert Snodgrass, partly because his spell was entirely Premier League and also because I think out of the four, he was the game changer - free kicks, dead ball situations and goals. I was tempted to go for Becchio but thought better of it!

2-2 and he will hang around for another week or two just in time to blow the January budget

Maybe you''re right LDC, I will see if I can find out as he also taught me at TGS.

He is the uncle of Ed Balls and as far as I''m aware he hasn''t passed away?

A bit left field this one - but how about Keith Curle from Carlisle???

Everyone raving about Thompson, in reality we have only really seen him in one game - a bit early to judge me thinks.

It was obvious when Bruce was out of work that he would be ideal for us but our Board, as usual, do nothing but dither and persevere with a Manager that''s taking us nowhere - except maybe back to League 1

When Pinto is fit again, I would like to see us try a 3 at the back with 2 wing backs (Pinto & Olssen or Brady)

Not Klose, Brady and Naismith then?

That should be clear out - not claret, and no I haven''t been on the claret!

Morty - what would you consider was the claret we should have had - name names

I think we can already forget about catching Newcastle this season, looks like they will run away with it. Is there still a chance that if we sort ourselves out we could get the second auto promotion place? Newcastle away two seasons on the spin looks like it may define our immediate future.

This match is now under way and I think what ever the outcome, it won''t be good for us: A Leeds win or draw and they will go above us and knock us out of the top 6, a Newcastle win and they will sail off into the distance a clear 13 points ahead of us. Don''t know what to hope for.

I actually don''t think that Naismith has been given enough opportunity and I think at the moment he could do a job for us.

Canos seems to be even more of an enigma than Pritchard. Wonder what the issue is with him and why he doesn''t feature. We didn''t half waste our transfer budget didn''t we and are paying for it now.

Agree JF, doesn''t make sense does it especially when you look at the gaping gaps in the squad. I bet he wishes he was at Brighton now though and to be fair, they probably needed him more

I bet he is cursing the M25 traffic now!

How about: Naismith Naismith Naismith Naismith Naismith Naismith Naismith Naismith Naismith Naismith Lafferty

Oh to have that pair here now Donkey, we certainly wouldn''t be talking about lack of effort

No offence taken wcork - by the way he went to Sheff Utd not Wednesday!

A player like Naismith doesn''t suddenly become a bad player overnight. Not sure why it hasn''t really worked for him here but maybe something to do with the way the team has been set up. I know he hasn''t exactly set the world on fire since he has been here but I don''t really see that he justifies getting the stick that he has been getting. I''m confident that he will come good as long as AN can set the team up in the right way to get the best of him. I certainly wouldn''t be dropping him from the team yet - what''s that going to achieve?

Bruce for me
