...is followed by a shocker! Why change a winning team? This management will not get us promoted. I think fans agree about this (at least the ones who watch games). This team should be challenging...but isn''t due to poor management in my opinion.

Are you at Reading then? Maybe a match report?!

Very true binner, I''ve been thinking the same for a while. Except I think the management team have been just as inconsistent and naive.

We absolutely need at least 5 new players in January (Yes I''m being serious) if we''re to have any chance of challening now. Even if we brought in Ferguson for the rest of the season to work with Phelan again I''d still say this team isn''t good enough to put the sort of run together that we need

Adams really should have named an unchanged XI today surely after such a good home win?Five players is probably about right seeing as it''s your entire spine that needs refreshing/replacing.

If you moved to somewhere where there was an airport you could hang around in the departures lounge and tell people how bad the planes were when there was a crash.

Unfortunately that would appear to be it so far as automatic promotion goes. We should make the play-offs but are so inconsistent that this becomes a lottery. However, beating the binners in the final would be fun. Shall not happen though as the binmen will choke well before the end of the season and miss out on the top six.

No, that''s just the usual stink.
