Never went,

They ain't getting my 21 quid that is all

All we are saying is give us a goal
Not good but 5th going into Christmas is good.
Imagine where we could be if we could shoot at the goal.

Same old, same old, same old.......... Interesting comments on BP at the end. Something along the lines of, we have got a squad that can tear teams of this division apart but it doesn't seem a though they're expressing themselves as much as they are capable of.

Haha they are jokers,Phil ain't got a clue.

Week in week out, it's 'groundhog' day time after time. Unless we unearth a goal poacher, irrelevant of other players capabilities, we wont even finish in the play-offs.

Cambridge drew at Tranmere tonight and lost Robbie Simpson to a red card so bit of good news for us as we approach the halfway mark this season.

No shots on target first half. What the hell is Phil watching?

That's exactly my thought. PB seems obsessed with this rigid system and there's no flexibility within his thinking. It's too restrictive. .....teams can set up quite easily to frustrate us as quite simply they know what's coming. Just give me 442 for a few games please Phil. ...I just want to watch us play a different way.....With a bit of swagger and with that degree of unpredictability. You go to home games now and just know what's coming. If we know, then opposition managers are going to know too.

Don't know how much longer I can endure Barry Corr's woeful performances. Also, why put Weston on instead of Shaq? Strange decision.

What exactly is this poacher going to poach ?

We arent creating the chances for a poacher to convert.

Commentary throughout said we played well but there wasnt any quality in the final third, no final ball, no decent cross. I was hoping Payne was going to provide the key but sadly not. With him Hurst and Worrall Id hope for more.

Sounded like we played well over all but just didnt have the ability to unlock the defence when we get there.

Blues Player commentators NOT PB that made those comments.............but there again perhaps they're inferring something?

I take that back. I read it as PB said it, Lol. Thought he'd lost the plot.

We are playing with 442 arent we with Payne just deeper ?

The point about predictability is one the commentators made though, when you have Corr and Payne up front then you can only aim for Corr. Payne can give you that bit of unpredictability if you play it to him, but that doesnt help for crosses which can easily be dealt with when its obviously going to aim for Corr.

Phil's saying we're lacking in the final third, he can see it as well as everyone else
