The mind truly boggles.

Compensation presumably, too.

Incredible.

[redsimon]

Luckily he was only on a 12 month contract, guess the owners learnt after giving SO'D a 3 year one.

Just got back from the Wednesday v Brighton game.

First, its clear Brighton are a very good footballing team and if you let them play they are likely to give you a good hiding.

Its also clear they don't like the physical side of the game. Close them down, get in their faces and they really don't like it at all. The dummies start to get spat out big time.

I can see this being their achilles heel this season from what I've seen today.

Some of the theatrics from Brighton today were embarassing. There were three or four occasions when they were rolling around looking to get players booked and then getting up with nothing wrong them. I would say there was also an embarassing dive from Leroy Lita too.

A welcome 3 points for Wednesday in a game I expected us to lose.

People worked out how to play against us now so we are pretty ineffective, we need a massive CM, and a massive pacey CB and we will romp to the title next season.

Don't beat Hull @ weekend and our season is over.

Good to see Bolton and Wolves right in the mix for League 1!

Just thought I would highlight that, to make it easier to find next season.

I've already said it on this thread before. Sign them two and keep what we have, we will win the league next season.

Just picked up the next Bridcutt though from Chelsea today, so perhaps he is off in the Summer to the prem.

Here come the Rovers!

[scotty2hatty]

Dung, Craig Forsyth, he's a ex-Dundee player, how's he been?

Buckley seems to be missing an awful lot of games - but not consecutively.

Is it one injury he is struggling to shake off, or a series of different injuries?

[Ant040689]

How are you feeling, generally, on our bet, Camel?

[Alverton]

Here come the Rovers!

I had a faint hope of optimism at the wkend as well.  Then I remembered we still have to play the top four in the league away.  Saying that 12pts out of those games, then I may become as delusional as some others in this thread.

[The Camel]

How are you feeling, generally, on our bet, Camel?

Extremely confident.

Went to Sheffield Weds v Brighton on Saturday

Brighton have a ridiculous amount of quality for the Championship.

On another day they would have won 5-0.

But Ashley Barnes is a dick and Wednesday scored 3 scruffy goals at the worst times possible for Brighton.

The gulf in quality was enormous though.

Ulloa showed me enough that leads me to believe he's going to be a monster at this level.

[Ant040689]

Have you the same insight into Palace's squad?

[The Camel]

Have you the same insight into Palace's squad?

No, but i can still see the defence which Holloway is picking.

Simply not good enough for a top 6 Championship team.

Very unlikely it improves under Ollie too.
