Higher, don't forget to ask the Blades what they think about us being their "Official Bogey Team" when you do the review. :lol:

Morgan's been banned for 3 matches so that's good news right?

Hmm don't know. He has been better than expected this season, but he doesn't have much pace on him.

We could have ripped him to shreads with balls behind.

Woodcote Royal I'm assuming "squad player at best" has now replaced "not good enough" for 2007.

I seem to remember that Sonko and Kitson were once holders of this infamous title.

So, I guess it should come as no surprise to see it attached to a midfieder who stood in at right back, whilst the defence kept a clean sheet, as they hammered the oppo 6-0, one of which he scored..........................as ever, we are grateful to our resident experts for their input.


So I assume you're dissagreing with his point that Bryn's a 'squad player at best' then? He is too slow to play regularly and keeping a clean sheet against WH was no huge feat the way they played (or didn't).

we never beat you ever, dispite some close games. but hey ho if we are within one place of you this year we will have stayed up.

as for morgan maybe jags and davis with pace are better equipt to try and stop you.

The general point I was making about Bryn, actually has nothing to do with the West Ham game, although it did highlight his qualities, it is more the fact that over the Xmas period I thought he showed us why at times last season he was preferred ahead of Harper and even Sidwell on an occasion.

The Chelsea and Man U formations were a masterstroke of Coppell's and I think could be employed again this season with Bryn involved, but what I would really like to see is Gunnarsson being given more of a regular role in the first team, particularly in hard tackling games like the one coming up against Sheff U.

Why should Hunt be given so much more opportunity than Gunnarsson this season, particularly when you consider that Hunt was little more than a bit-part player last season and Bryn was more regular and made some very important contributions. Also as Bryn has been played at right-back, why could he not also be played on the right side of midfield in addition to the more central role he usually occupies ?

How true, how true. I am sure that if you could be bothered to trawl the pages of HNA you'd find evidence of virtually every player in this squad being described as 'not good enough' at some time! I recall the vitriole at the start of this season over the lack of signings because 'most of this squad is not up to Prem League standard'. Thank heavens that Steve Coppell and his management/coaching team are in charge and not some of the kids who endlessly post rubbish about the players on here!

Bryn isn't a winger though which is what this club thrives on currently, Hunty isn't the greatest player in the world but is a reasonable winger and can take someone on. If you were going to include Bryn on the right, I think you'd need to push Murty on to right winger and stick Gunnar in at full back.

Its easy to trail lots of forums and put posts on quite a few.

Regularly look at Warnocks lot but I see that BLADE 1 has posted on here.

Shows how easy it is but why do we have to get an intro and pay a tenner to post on the Shef Utd site.? Can't have that.

Kilgallon will be an adequate replacement.

But how can Leeds afford to let Kevin Kilgallon go. resigned to D2 ? (or is it D1 ! )

As Blade1 is on here perhaps he can explain 4-4-2's "oink" comments about Jagielka. I can't figure it out.
