Problem is with that, is that Nelson is a lumbering liability and would have been destroyed against Charlton.  Its blindingly obvious who our centre-backs should be.

You answered your own question:"To be fair, hes playing against League 1 defenders, I know he is a good player, got excellent strength and holds the ball up very well. Hes got great work rate...."Add to that the goal tally so far, and the fact we are in league one, so who the hell else have we employed him to play against other than league one defenders, and I would say this thread is nonsense.

Because he is crap and cheap.  His old clubs fans almost universially said he was dross, yet we still bought him, only to find...he is dross.

Perhaps actually watch a game then? [quote user="I am a Banana"][quote user="John"]Pace.[/quote] but thats what he is said to have, but im still not sure if we have seen it! [/quote]

What do you expect?  this is a corporate forum, anything they want to publish will be blasted into space so they get the coverage.

Yes No

How can anyone comment on something they have not seen or even heard a commentary on.  some of you are real prats.

Give it up, he''s gone.  Move on.

Long way to go yet, and they have to gel, just like City.  I would not start laughing just yet as egg could still be on your faces.  Lets worry about us and ignore them until its obvious they can''t go up?

I remember the blind faithful on here a few months ago shooting down in flames some people who suggested his injury might be too serious for him to ever return to city.  No, no, no screamed the blind, he will be back , it will clear up.Thank god we can all just forget the nonsense about the guy coming back and remember the good times.

I do not agree with this comment "That ain''t easy, as ours is poor, even by third division standards".I suppose Monday night we will know the truth.

Who cares what really happened.  Just be thankful it did.

Sounds like an online radio station to me.[quote user="Yellow Shirt"]Who or what is RadioMK? I live there and have never heard of it.[/quote]

So exactly the same as Worthington, yet so many bleeted like sheep when some of use questioned if he should remain....[quote user="First Jedi"]As impressive of taking a top team in a division to the next, and then barely getting a win and dismally dropping like a hot rock? Hmmm.... I agree that Lambert hasn''t done something as good as that... but still I don''t think Bothroyd is as good as Lambert - otherwise, as you say, we''d have gone for him. I''m glad we didn''t. Lambert has more to his game than hoof ball, although the Walsall game isn''t really helping my point any![/quote]

America - made the internet, and their greed will turn it into a ghost-town shopping mall, just like their nation.[quote user="Camuldonum"][quote user="nutty nigel"] Well there''s plenty of posts on here everyday where people make stuff up and make out it''s true. Why is this different? It''s not that I believe it.. just the double standards involved.   [/quote] It depends on whether what they make up is libellous to someone else.  Smart lawyers in America now trawl MB''s over there and offer to work on a no win no fee basis.  If it ever comes here it should make life jolly interesting for lots of people.   [/quote]

You answered your own question, so what was this all about?

The fact it is the "odd posters" says all you need to know.

Or perhaps just leave him on the right where he is doin ok and put Martin or MacDonald up front with Holt where they bloody well should be?

Doc "immense" - against Southend reserves.I can''t understand why anyone would read such nonsense into a reserve game.

Brilliant, brilliant post.  A reality check for some of the people on here that think we should be playing like Arsenal.[quote user="blahblahblah"]Interesting post that Shack.  There are a few possibilities here I suppose :Hoolihan doesn''t fit with the formation Lambert believes will help us win games.  The age old argument on here about Huckerby was that he didn''t do defence, which was great when he was tearing teams open with his feet, but didn''t help us under Grant when we looked fragile on the left in defence.  Hoolihan doesn''t seem to be in the same class as Huckerby, but he doesn''t need to be in league 1.More than likely it''s down to wages.  Lambert will probably be able to bring in an effective (if less pretty) winger who will be happy tracking back, and won''t play best in a free role, for the wages that Hoolihan is on, which to a large extent solves the problem.My opinion is that if you''re going to get out of this league, you need 2 banks of 4 players, you need to "earn the right to play football" as a former manager used to say, and you need someone up front with Holt to open up the other teams'' 2 banks of 4, aswell as a threat from the wing, especially at home.  While we are keeping clean sheets, one goal gets you three points. It might not be pretty, but if pretty football gets you a play-off semis defeat and 2 banks of 4 and a hoof puts you on an open-topped bus, I know which one I''d prefer.  Get someone in Hoolihans'' place who wants to be a winger and can beat a man and cross a ball, and get Holt a partner who can get onto the flick-ons and lay-offs, and score goals from the opportunities created, and you''ve solved the problem.[/quote]

In our two previous games we won and played good attacking football, albeit league one football (which is the league we are in in case anyone forgets).We had a draw against Walsall.  Still a point and we had an off day.  Walsall cancelled us out and steadied their ship.  To use one poor match to ask some of the questions being asked here seems a bit mental TBH.

Of course it is only results that matter.  Gunn was crap and had to go.

Its threads like this that make the pinkun forum the online version of canary call.

At least we all seem to agree that the lower Barclay was like a grave on Saturday. Start something, and nobody follows.  Anyone care to explain why supporting the team was beyond them on Saturday?

There are some real idiots talking some real rubbish on here.7 from 9, new manager bedding in.  We should be judging him in 6+ months FFS.Or shall we just sack him after 10 games?
