Dougie Freedman eyeing up manager post at Leeds.
Personally I'd prefer to see Steve Evans given the chance and some money!

Would not suprise me if Freedman got the job.

Agree1 Disagree2

24 Apr 2016 19:43:03
can't see why he would get the gig, very average career management stats, no point in this and I reckon no legs to story either, SE better.

Freedman does not fall into the "big improvement" category so my vote still goes to Evans. He has won me over and currently, is not doing too much wrong. If not for a good penalty save we would be celebrating another 3 points.
Although I feel top 10 is just out of reach the man deserves another chance.

Appointing Freedman would at best be a sideways move and therefore unnecessary and pointless. Keep Fatty.

George. That's your 12th best post ever. Slightly better than your 13th, but not quite as good as your 11th.

Keep big Steve.

Freedman would be a big mistake, SE has earned a shot at next season.

Agree1 Disagree1

I'm not Evans biggest fan, but Freedman is no improvement. I think Evans has done OK, but am I Getting carried away because we are on an unbeaten run at the end of a nothing season? No. However, is there anybody else out there who could do a better job at the mo? Probably not. If we carry on this unbeaten run and Evans does exactly what he said he would do, then even MC will have to give in and extend his contract you would think, but will he back him in the transfer market? I'm sure the first bad run of results he will look to dump him.

agree with all above, I don't think freedman is bad as such but think SE is better and this would be sideways appointment at best. As larry not been linked to the job yet, I feel someone on this site should mention him.

Agree1 Disagree0

25 Apr 2016 18:23:04
Unless it's for pearson or someone of that ilk then I think we're better off with the big guy. Freedman's forest side bored me to death, would definitely be a step backwards.

What about LARRY? Ah Larry, Larry, Larry.

We can hold the ladder for him.

i would happly let him sit on my shoulders but will not be responible for my hands.

BW really! Have you no shame?

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed003's Note - the answer will be no I'm sure ;) }

27 Apr 2016 11:46:51
shame what's that? if it is a human emotion I try not to have too many of them, I don't do guilt, remorse and to be honest lust is slowly fading aswell unless larry is involved.

Just like to say fair play to Leicester City for not faltering and hopefully we will get a similar resurgence ourselves in the next few years.

Don't you mean unfair play? They're still under investigation.

Your probably right George but gives us hope.

Shows what can be done with owners who know about football. Hard work and teamwork, a real wake up call to all those clubs who's aim is to get to 38 points every season.

Didn't really like vardy's tantrum other week, I now hope they slip up. The energy they show and lack of injuries means they must be putting something in their porridge me thinks . All will be revealed.

Unfair play are they going to get done for spending 400k on marez

More than happy with the result yesterday.
Next 2 games are very winnable, go on lads let's go get a top 10 finish and end the season on a high for a change.

Which or how many of the following players does everyone think will be with us next season .

Players not mentioned would be on my keep list .

Turnbull, Wooton, Bamba, Beluschi, Carayol, Adeyemi, Sloth, Erwin and Doukara

Players out on loan ( Killock Bianchi ) would be surplus to requirements also .

If the majority of the above are moved on clearing up wages and space in the squad would like to see us bring in proven quality in 2 C Half's, Winger . No. 10 and a striker .

To further create a squad of 25ish players with some up and coming quality bring in maybe another striker, winger and no.10 on top.

24 Apr 2016 10:12:58
Think Bamba may be on contract, nut if a offer cams in I would take it, are c/ b has been unpredictable all season .
Would sign Wheater and Clough from Bolton.
I still believe we need a barton in midfield as I think Ant will go, would look at another striker maybe Wells .
One thing all this players who come which promise etc I would avoid 5-6 proven champ players .
Not sure if Brid will sign but we do have tomato .

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 12:24:47
Think Adeyemi is a good player with a great attitude so would like to keep him. As for the rest you mentioned, wouldn't lose any sleep if any of them were to go.

Botaka is class but our managers all seem to play the safety game. Stick with who you know. Good to see him squad now let's give phillips the attacking midfield role, he has a great shot on him. We lost two class players, monty and fabro, last season because they were not picked. They would have made a big difference to this team.

I agree BIGE re the players you've mentioned, but the only problem is when you're under pressure and the team in general isn't performing well, these players can appear to be a bit of a luxury and managers are afraid to lose rather than go out to win games. I'm sure if the likes of Boro, Burnely etc had Botaka on the books, he'd have had more game time. Hopefully next season with a solid spine to the team, we will play more creatively.
Just my opinion.

would you know wood missed a penalty would of know wood would miss and not the first time wood would miss.

Believable1 Unbelievable1

Would one have know Wood would miss the penalty, then Wood would not have taken it, would he?

Agree0 Disagree0

24 Apr 2016 13:23:51
Wood did not miss the penalty - it was saved and a decent save it was too. All the taker can do is hit the target and Wood did just that and if the keeper went the other way he would have scored. This doesn't make him s**te. At least he had the balls to take it and I thought the goal he took, despite being described as a sitter was decent.
I know a lot of people don't rate Wood but McFlytipper wasn't that prolific in his first season or at Cardiff.
I reckon with a good pre-season behind him Woody will come good next season and will spearhead our promotion push. He's got 12 goals now this season in a season disrupted by a lengthy injury which ain't too shabby.
He does frustrate a lot (including me) but we do look better with him in the team and like any striker, when his confidence is up, I can see him scoring plenty.
