We are only four points from the play off because teams above us have a game in hand. Just saying.

We've morphed into a version of the Dingles a few seasons ago. Draw specialists. Look where they are now...

Stuart I assume you’ve been on the Sheff Wed site tonight to tell them how lucky they are?

There are 5 players in that line up that I would hope never to see play for us beyond this season.
Hutton Adomah Whelan Hourihane Taylor.

I'd probably agree with that. If smith still thinks they have a part to play for us past this season, well i'd be suprised, but you can't dump a whole team 3 months in during a January transfer window unless you have an unlimited budget

El Ghazi stands off too deep in a starting position for me. I feel he ought to be really playing off the full back. That said he carries the ball and can create something. He's inconsistent.

Unfortunately, he's very consistent at the moment but as you say, he stands off too deep in a starting position. You'd hope and expect somebody to have a word. His physique and play when receiving the ball deep is very similar to Cristiano Ronaldo. It comes as no surprise that's where the similarity ends. Right now, like Uncle Albert, he's a waste of a shirt which is my major concern. It's true the midfield is a problem but our attack is one dimensional. Tammy. Both Albert and El Khazi need to be in double figures this season if we intend to do anything in the play-offs.

Over you you, Dean.

Typical Eurocrat, telling us brave lads what to do!

Keep your bloody shirt on, it's cold, is the message from Strasbourg. A chest waxing wouldn't go a miss is the message from Lisbon.

I still remember the MPLA badge I used to wear when Portugal was a fascist dictatorship and busy waging war in Angola and Mozambique. The working class is on the move again there now though with a wave of strikes, and they don't seem to be overly enamoured of the EEC. Who would have guessed?

Not me. The MPLA were formed before Villa last won the FA Cup. The former fascist state is now run by Socialists/Commies and crazy Left wing radicals. Unlike the Villa, they're strong on the left wing. The only Taylor they have to put up with makes great Port wine.

When people talk about us becoming the new Leeds. We already are, it seems (minus the racism).

Oh god don't go saying things like that, saying logical things like that you have my deepest sympathy for what is about to happen to you becauae questioning Smith is not allowed on here.

Come on mate, you know that isn't true at all. I think it all depends on your attitude towards other points of view and the way in which you word your own.

I've questioned him and will continue to do so until I'm completely satisfied with our performances.

I'm a moany twat though, so am probably/definitely being too harsh on Smith.

I just want us to play good football and get out of this league.

He's got Bruce's face tattooed to his belly.

and an odd fact is that if a kebab passes within 6 inches of his belly it disappears - it's like the Bermuda Triangle.

Only pointed out the weakness in the four points because it underestimates the task before us. Looking on the positive I really believe that Jack bought into the new manager and was playing his best football before the injury, if he can get back to that form quickly we can still get there and I think Mings will be a commanding player for us in this division. How's that for positive.
