ZLF 335 Posted November 1, 2005 what a article - 3 consecutive defeats - doesnt Birmingham count?? Not looking for sympathy - thats exactly what it is.Can someone please remind me of what the too many plusses and positives have been this season?45 mins agains Hull? The re-emergence of WLY, the discovery that Doc can defend, just how good Safri is (a double edged sword that one - just how reliant on him we are). Have I missed a shed load that would outweigh what we have seen on the pitch.Or does, for this season only, the league table lie?This article is another lame attempt by the PR team to keep the good spin going. What about giving us some honest assessment and a little insight into where the team needs to improve rather than regurgitating the same old bland nothingness Worthy? Are you looking for midfield replacements given Marney injury? Have you asked Spurs if they will ed the loan contract eaarly so we can sign some one else long term?

Bird Table 0 Posted November 1, 2005 It shows how bad things have got if "45 minutes against Hull" is being sited as one of the positives. Clutching at straws anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
