I wouldn't worry too much about it. We're far from ready. Much better to be in a position of strength rather than embarrassed by those teams that are ready to fight in the play offs.

I'm pretty sure that if we were to play Reading or Norwich tomorrow then we wouldn't be"embarrassed" by what would happen.

To be fair the whole division is pretty average. Its just sh*te that it's our level. The teams that go up have the best consistency not necessarily the side(s) that are particularly good.

Do you class that as a mistake i think u have to he let ball come across him instead of running out toward it and slamming it back up the park.

James Milner just interviewed on SSN being overly controversial as usual.

It's not spoken about enough with players that got away but Steven Davis, very quietly has had a very good domestic and international career.

I wouldn't fancy us against Reading and I don't see Norwich making the play offs due to their run in. I think Fulham look the more likely to grab the fourth spot though they also have a tough run in. On reflection, whoever makes the fourth play-off spot will be relatively poor. It's Sheff Weds to lose but as you saw against us, they have too many first teamers out injured and are there for the taking. They have the points in the bag and the easiest run in, they just need to get their key players back. They'll probably do it by default.

We beat both Reading and Fulham last time we played them.

And even if don't beat them next time we play them, I'm pretty sure we won't be embarrassed by it.

Cahill aswell, multiple league champion and regular international player.

Our youth academy gets regularly criticised but from the 2004-07 crop we did produce Cahill, Gabby, Albrighton and Davis.

O.k Gabby has declined badly over the last few seasons but he had a pretty good career up to that point and the other three have done very well since they moved on for different reasons.

Yes agreed and hope it keeps on getting better for him. A very professional young man.

It would be extremely embarrassing to lose at Wembley to any of the four.
