Our wages will have gone up considerably since then too. Ok we pay all these players huge wages to get us back up then what ??? We get up there, and these players on huge wages are not good enough to keep us up there, back to square one again Thats if they can get us back up in the first place What...

Readingensian - You're brushing over the fact that quite a lot of our players are on bumper money these days - Pearce, Kebe, HRK, Pog, McAnuff, Drenthe, Williams, Bridge, McCarthy, Roberts, Mariappa to name a few. We've not sold anyone & had the annual summer sale. We are spending more money th...

Bring in Kelly, Gorkss and Mariappa for Peterborough in the cup. Tell them if they keep a clean sheet they keep their place in the team. Pearce, Morrision and Gunter should get the message that if they can't keep a clean sheet then they can sit on the bench. :lol: Why have you not been offered a ma...

Time to change the defense around. I'm a fan of Gunter but he hasn't done enough to hold down the shirt so I reckon Kelly will get the go ahead against Peterborough and keep it in the league. Likewise one of Gorkss or Mariappa, and hopefully a new striker. I agree with both your points, but most of...

Another great transfer window i know its not over but £1,500,000 is not good enough How many more before Anton big bollocks spends? :twisted: Spending is one issue, the manager refuses to make the necessary changes to the team that he actually can make. He's benched our best fullback Kelly and cent...

I dont think he should start Blackman next week and we should play our strongest side in the cup tuesday Not going to happen, already said it'll be the younger players. Looks like another embarrassment coming our way.... You're right this is embarrassing, and I agree I don't think Adkins knows his ...

Why can't we keep a clean sheet??
Today's Blackpool side are really not a team that you'd expect us to struggle against and we still can't keep a clean sheet. It's not just about scoring, we need to be able to not concede silly goals!

Mike Hunt Bridge robbed of the ball, and then Morrison slipped and allowed a one on one by the sounds of it.

Bridge has looked slow IMO thus far this season. He turns extremely slowly

Time to make some changes in defence. Bring on some fresh legs

Big mistake from Adkins, we leak 5 goals in our first 3 matches and he still doesn't change our defence?! If we had no other options then fair enough but we do have other options, and those players should have been in the starting XI from the start of the season. Kelly and Mariappa must start matche...

I thought he was good defensively and did well against their winger, despite him having no help whatsoever. He got forward a lot and I just generally think he was worthy of an 8. He was certainly our bets defender today Absolutely not! Karacan ran his nuts off covering and helping out Gunter today....

Last season stats Gunter v Kelly Games Played: ______________Gunter - 20______________Kelly - 16 Chances Created: ____________Gunter - 8_______________Kelly - 6 Average Pass Accuracy: _______Gunter - 70%_____________Kelly - 71% Average Duels Won:__________Gunter - 62%_____________Kelly - 52% Averag...

How was Kelly a boost, I think he started off well but got worse. How many goals have directly come from Gunter's fault In the last 3 games, 3 goals have been a result of Gunter. Had the ref given the second shout for penalty than it could well have risen to 4. How can you say Kelly didn't finish t...

Why do people want Kelly in? He wasn't good enough for fulham, makes sloppy errors at the back and never gets forward, unlike gunter who gets forward and tackles. He was continuously with his man, the left winger didn't do much in the game and he was always forward. His passing though is a bit susp...

I don't get all the hate for Blackman. He didn't have a great second half but it wasn't the equivalent of playing with 10 men as people were suggesting on BBCRB. He did alright, but he's not the answer this season. The sooner Pog goes the better, and one or two more come in the better! He's ok, the...

Hi Ian- just wondering how the back 4 are deserved of 7's and 8's when we conceded 3 goals at home? I thought Bridge again looked slow and lethargic. Gunter was for the third wk in a row outpaced and outsmarted by the winger. He never seems to tackle and just keeps backing off defensively. I also fe...
