STEVIE B

Plus it takes 2 attackers out of our box.

SA in trouble now.

Awful timing. These type of shenanigans need to wait until we know which league we're in next season. It makes no sense to do this now. Madness.

To take the thread title literally, all of them are League 1 standard, if they get relegated. ..........although some would struggle at that level !

What are you on ? You seriously think we'll score 2 against Hull ?

I can't think of many games, or a run of matches which have been crucial, have meaning when we're in the mire (other than the great escape season), where we have stood up, chest out & passed the test in front of us. We just seem to be too weak mentally. After the 2 away draws, l thought we showed something. Then it just disappears again on Saturday. 11 games to go. I can only see 11/13 pts unfortunately. Hopefully I'm very wrong.

India should win from here.

Apparently he's 'ill'.

They were good & l agree with you. But if any side doesn't press, play with intent, has a leaky defence, has no threat up front, no confidence, it makes it very easy for most opponents to look better than they actually are. Norwich played with confidence, because we are so easy to play against.

Amazing how seeing players showing a bit of fight, even sprinting can change the mindset of the fans.....after just 45 mins at Stoke, plus 90 at 'Boro. Makes you wonder what the last 3 buffoons in charge were doing.

I think it's theirs to lose (even though they tend to find a way to !)

Of course, forgot about the NZ game !

I was thinking this too. Is it too much to bring him in at the semi final stage though (plus, he got a 1st baller in his last T20) ? Probably wouldn't do much worse that Buttler though ! Tough call.

I didn't see the game, but this has to be a point gained. The confidence must be non existent, there's always a mistake incoming & key player's missing. Sounds like this was the best 90+ min performance of the season. Rowett has obviously got something about him, well done to him & his staff.

Maybe, even so it's all about opinions though.

I think his arm is straight. It's just that he delays releasing, similar to a penalty taker when he strikes the ball after delaying.

Smith, Williamson, Kholi, Root, Kallis, Ponting, are ahead. Probably a few more too. Way too early to judge him yet.

They sound great & look good ! Hoping to catch them live on their current tour.

The Molotovs are very good. Only recently heard of them. Get A Life is excellent. Love the Mod (early Jam/Libertines) sound. They look sharp too !

I'd love to see a new manager bounce. I just can't see it happening unfortunately. Nothing against Rowett, but this overpaid, unfit, mistake riddled side simply haven't got it in them. Obviously l hope I'm very wrong, but this shambles runs far deeper & a new manager won't change much.

At least we have a game in hand on Blackburn.

.......A visit from Dr Leicester will sort Stoke out

We do. Unfortunately we are more sh1t than they are.

Happy with a draw. 1-1. Stoke are on a poor run, but are only 5pts adrift of the play-offs.

I watched this last night. Excellent viewing. He went under the radar somewhat imo. We miss this type of attitude now.
