With our chairman who knows? Martin has scored a few but for the possession we have and the chances we create we don't score nearly enough goals.

I agree about Mccormack, a decent striker in this team would have a field day, let's hope the management can see it too.

There were rumours of McCormack leaving Villa and I'd love to see him back. Don't think Slavisa rates him so can't see him coming back to us. Trouble is, who is out there that would want to come to us and wouldn't break the bank?

Brighton well worth the 1-0 advantage at half time ,even though Leeds are down to ten men .
i cant see things changing too much second half ,maybe a couple of goals more from Brighton ,but cant see anyway back for Leeds.
so jumping the gun a little ,top of the league and looking down on all .

Bit early but have to agree. You are certainly going well to date

Nice gap you and the Toon are building up. Lets hope you can keep it going this season

They'll only lose again in the playoffs 💃

Oh Fulham what are you doing. 1-0 down and then 3-1 up an instant only to go 4-3 down. Fortunate to get a 4-4 draw. How many times will you throw away three points when in a commanding position. Annoyed grunt!

 

[Qwerty]

Wow,Notlob are flying at the moment. They should walk this league if they keep this up!

good news for Blackpool fans today, the ongoing court case brought by the Oystons against the Blackpool fans forum Backhenrystreet has been struck out of court with full costs.

A great relief to all of us involved with the site and particularly to Paul, the owner.

Gary Rowett has just been sacked from Birmingham. Any Brummies on here? I thought he was doing a good job under difficult circumstances. Is there something else happening there or did you as fans see this coming? Looks out of the blue to people not knowing about Birmingham.

I'm buggered if it makes any sense to me as a season-ticket holder for 30 years and a supporter for 58.

The football hasn't been great to watch this season but even so we are 7th in the League and there is a transfer window coming up when there is supposed to be some money to spend.

Sorry but I just cannot offer any explanation other than the new owners fancying a more glamorous name in the manager's chair.

An appointment that has been met with overwhelming disappointment in view of his managerial record.

Given the speed of the appointment it's something that has been lined up for a while. That stinks if Rowett had no idea he was a dead man walking. They won last night and only out of the play offs on GD. Hardly failing and can't see what Zola will bring

The only complaints that the owners can have is that the style of play has not exactly been thrilling and Rowett's failure to utilise the players he has actually paid fees for.

Assuming the latter was a factor then that might explain the timing with the transfer window due to open shortly.

It might be ugly but they are winning and so close to the play off. Surely to get to the riches of the PL the fans will take 1-0 every week and get promotion

Not really as we are a contrary lot.

Whilst the fans of many clubs would think differently back in 2011 we were prepared to accept relegation from the PL so long as we had our victory over Arsenal at Wembley.

After our seven years in it many of us remain less than overwhelmed by the PL where only five or six teams are ever in with a chance of winning it and the rest are just making up the numbers. I know Leicester upset the formbook last year but that is never likely to be repeated.

Good to hear, Louise.

Cheers Pete, hopefully more good news soon, the Oystons are also in court this week against the minority shareholder Valeri Belekon and it seems that they could be taking another beating. Maybe they will finally see the writing on the wall and get out of our club.
