He cetainly has the potential to play at a higher level but something seems missing. Maybe it will evolve when he gets a bit older.

I think maybe you are being too generous because he scored three in the F.A.Cup against a non-league side whose name I forget. The real question is that can he make it in the fizzy should  we go up? It is ok to be " lazy but a prolific goal  scorer", but he is no Linekar and should contribute more. He is enigmatic because occasionally he runs his socks off then next time prances around like a prima donna. Yes he is young and possibly needs to be rested.  Worth having in the squad.

I''d prefer the Monster Raving Looney.   Oh no! That''s you daft lot.

The Lass is right. Convenience is everything. Suggestion: Find out where Delia does it. She might be the Queen of Norwich but she still ablutes. It will probably be exclusive to her, so no waiting.

If they do go out and it endagers our chances of promotion in any way then we should buy their best player (s) so they can pay up. Oh we have no money either.    

[quote user="City1st"]Extra capacity is not needed. The club will simply increase the ticket price. I know it appears an excellent idea of having loads of kids in at virtually nothing the club cannot expect to hit casual fans hard to subsidise them. Go back a couple of decades and the reason taht the gates were lower was that everyone paid full pride - accepting kids oap reductions and main stand season tickets. Letting the price of tickets drift up a bit will choke off demand. And for those who squaek perhaps they might care to umderstand why a number of players have joined us from lower down in our league. That''s business I''m afraid[/quote]   I genuinly think that if there was more capacity then more would come (as long as we get promotion.) A League 1 side getting 24,000+ every game is virtrually unheard of. Down the road they struggle to get 20, 000 sometimes. Somebody has got something right at our club despite the last few years of nonsense.

Correct me if I am wrong, but somebody in the business told me it was actually losing money. Frankly whenever I vist the City I prefer to stay more central. Apart from the soccer ground it is a bit out of the way with no surrounding attractions. However I am now an exile so maybe I am incorrect.

OK accept that, but it looks wrong.

"embarrasing" ie. horrible and no place in a soccer ground.

We could have filled in a big corner area at least but for that emabarrasing hote.l

Wow this is really quite unbelievable.

I bet you are in Geylang Road

Not one word of all that did I understand. Thanks anyhow.

I''m sorry, I''m not normally critical, but that user name of yours is a bit naff and your avatar is not very original. Poor start. You''ll  really have to do better.

The new thongs I had for Christmas are quite sexy and they provide good support.

Ipswich?  Keystone Kops more like, especially the way Keane has them playing.

We could learn a lesson or two from West Brom supporters about disliking Wolves. We are amateurs compared to them. I think I''ll stick to my dislike of all things Ipswich, Kevin Muscat or not. I hear that Roy Keane and the current Wolves manager have a bit of history.

So Worthy got pissed. He''s gone up in my estimation ... I always thought him a bit staid and boring. The odd drink didn''t effect Cloughie''s management skills and if our Nigel  had a secret propensity for this sort of behaviour, it didn''t stop him being our most successful manager since Mike Walker.  I wonder, did he share a drop with Sir Alex the night before that famous win? Neither has he done badly since, despite all that exposure to black stout and pocheen.  

The Wolves game, just up the road from Walsall is currently on T.V. The pitch is fine, as you would expect for a bigger club, but it is a nasty, nasty night with freezing fog that the Sky commentators just said was not fully shown up on the screen due to their advanced technology.. One consolation for the travelling fans is that returning from the Midlands from about 5-6pm onwards could well have been a lot more hazardous than their enforced early departure.  

I got drunk twice in one day this Christmas.

I consider that a main consideration has to be the impact upon the Club''s finances. NCFC bled money from Worthington''s sacking onwards. Four manager''s contracts have been paid up, along with all the others involved in the various managerial teams and backroom staff. Players have come here and then left at a loss, without impacting positively upon the club''s fortunes. Croft cost £600, 000 and left for nothing. Marshall, Bell  sold at a loss. There were others. All these players were on expensive contracts and all this money was paid out with nothing to show except an increasing budget deficit and relegation. The over-employment of the loan system proved cripplingly expensive, in wages and agent''s fees. It contributed to the failure. The club was caught in a quicksand of waste . It could not go on, but it could well have done if we were still to be floundering in the lower reaches of the Championship. True, we get less income from being in League One, but this has been mitigated by the way that gate receipts will have been sustained and by a more conservative approach in the transfer market. The abundance of youngsters coming through is a bonus that might not have been realised if we had been involved in constant relegation battles in the Championship and many of the new acquisitions genuinly suggest success in the higher league. This was Gunn''s only lasting achievement in his spell as manager. The overall wages bill must be the lowest in over a decade and at last we seem to be getting value for money. Being in League One has not been the nightmare most of us anticipated and I feel that the current team is worthy of instant promotion and could hold it''s own in the Championship, if only just.  If the Club has turned the corner by being relegated, then it seems to me to have been a positive thing. However, we cannot afford to be where we are for more than two seasons as interest will wane and the debt will no longer be "manageable." So far so good.  

For a player who is often portrayed on this board as being none too bright, the Doc has cleverley worked it so that he has Boxing Day off. Seriously though, he will be a major miss. IMHO. I personally think that PL might be more defensive in his approach than usual in order to compensate for what has turned out to be a big problem area, albeit a one off.

His critics can say what they like about his ability, but his commitment can never be questioned. He has been a model professional on and off the field and has never reacted badly to the criticism he has received from the boo boys or to the treatment he has received from various managers over the years, including PL. He just gets on with the job in his own inimitable way, with a playing style  best  described as clumsy rather than dirty.  Maybe not a legend in the making, but Gary Doherty owes this club nothing. A few players, like a certain dumpy right winger who bettered himself in the summer, have milked this club. The Doc has always been value for money. IMHO.
