As lots before have said previously, yesterday was not good but I do think that progress is being made. Viera looked very good yesterday especially next to Bridcutt. We looked a lot better with Bridcutt back in midfield someone who is always wanting the ball. I would like to make a couple of points comparing this team with the Evans regime of the same time last year.

We now have leaders on the pitch in Bartley, Pontus, Bridcutt, Ayling and Wood. Also after the final whistle Monk quietly disappeared down the tunnel letting the team take the plaudits, compare that to Evans the self promoting best manager in the world. Monk knows we do not have the quality in certain areas but I for one believe given the funding he will bring that quality to our club MOT and Merry Xmas everyone.

Evening people, so relieved when Bart's header thumped the back of the net, I was screaming and punching the air with delight for a good 45 seconds ha ha! How many points do you think we can realistically achieve in the next 3 games? Preston and Villa away and Rotherham at Home. 9 points will surely see us putting pressure on and banging on the door of the automatic s would it not? Mot 😎.

Honestly the way things are going I'd say it would see us staying around where we are now. Depends on the players available. i'd say with a full sqau 6/7 points is realistic.

Yeah I agree. Well. Actually 9 is possible. None are really hard games. 9 is doable. But not sure it will move us up the table though.

Think 7 would be good from next three games. Villa will be up for it and Grayson will have his team ready. Mind you they are all winnable. And we got strong players coming back at right time.

9 is definitely achievable. As for the automatics - genuinely can't see anybody catching Newcastle or Brighton to be honest.

Once O'kane and Bridcutt and Hernandez fully fit its time to give Phillips a rest he constantly gives ball away to the opposition far too many times, I'd also take Doukara out of the team for me he doesn't offer much and his not a good goal scorer I keep banging on that Antonsson will offer more than Doukara, it's great to win when not playing well and grinding out wins by odd goal but we definitely need more and better fire power in January.

I also think the club got it wrong charging A prices week before Xmas but I don't think the crowd would have been much bigger anyway at B prices for me the attendance again was poor for the position where in we need push on in New Year and get them crowds knocking 30,000 lots of points to play for anything can happen and I believe Monk still fancies us to attack the top 2.

How about this for a thought. If Middlesbrough are after Taylor and he won't stay, then why not say to them ok, you can have him for a straight swap for Rhodes, or as the vast majority of any deal for him in part ex?

straight swap? taylor worth more than rhodes taylor prem quailty rhodes aint, i'd rather the money or rhodes plus 3 mil but don't think theyd go for that.

BW I'm in full agreement, normally yes CT is worth more, but not with 6 months left on his contract. same as happened with Bryam and cook.

Agree0 Disagree0

that is a good point didn't really consider that, I would hope we would still get five for him though and fancy rhodes might got for a bit less than that, this said that might be rose coloured glasses on from mt part. I also not sure rhodes would suit our style of play. way we play at the moment he is not better than wood (in current system) so do we change system? drop wood (who in my opinion is un-droppable) or buy rhodes as back up? though call but can see arguments for both sides.

Agree0 Disagree0

keep taylor, get promoted, then pay taylor what he is worth to stay. if it ain't broke don't fix it!

Hooks Recollecting you once wanted to tell CT to fork off in those capital letters of yours.

Agree0 Disagree0

BW to be honest I think we just need to trust Gary! but Rhodes does have a track record and is available. We will just have to wait and see. Have a great Christmas.
