  1. Wagner really isn't the best example of someone that plays more attacking football. He's done an unbelievable job but even during their promotion season 22 out of their 25 wins were by a single goal and they were the second lowest scorers in the top half. They then scored once in 330 minutes during the play offs and had to rely on the lottery of winning successive penalty shoot outs. There are definitely reasons to suggest Wagner as a candidate for our next manager, attacking, exciting football is not one of them.
  2. He pulled out of a couple of challenges, with Hutton covering behind, after he'd been booked. I think of all the players in the squad the notion of 'not fancying the chase' couldn't be further from the truth when it comes to Snodgrass, he runs himself into the ground every game. Imagine if he'd picked up a second yellow for tripping up Traore unnecessarily!
  3. Yet he was the one sacrificed at half time to make way for Gary Madine, who went on to set up the only goal.
  4. I was just wondering that, in which games did he most impress you?
  5. He's also Nigerian. I believe he was referring to Ricardo Gardner
  6. Chester didn't put a foot wrong tonight, easily MOTM
  7. Surprised to see his thread so low down today. Terry has rightfully received a lot of praise for his performance yesterday but I thought Chester had just as good a game. Hopefully they can both stay fit
  8. He scored Newcastle's goal, I'm guessing the full back was Stephen Carr
  9. Such bad news, we've all seen how long it took Delph to resemble anything like the player we thought we'd signed after his knee injury. Hopefully the rehab will go well and he'll be raring to go next season, absolutely no positives to be taken from this. Awful, awful news and I feel so sorry for him
  10. My job means I am sometimes privy to information (not about transfers so don't think this is some attempt to prove myself as an ITK). I'm not saying any more than that, I'm sure the club will announce this terrible news soon
  11. Unfortunately I'm very serious, hopefully he can come through the rehab without any complications. Probably the worst player, apart from the obvious, that this could have happened to
  12. He has ruptured his ACL, as well as some other damage to the knee. Still too swollen to operate on but he is not expected to play again this season. Massive blow for us
  13. Much less of a story than the Carew incident, as we were actually a good team at the time that was quickly forgotten. In fact it proved to advance his cult standing with the fans, despite the fact he was out less than 24 hours before a big European game
  14. Dante, in your opinion is it likely that Upshaw will now get thrown straight in as a Week 1 starter? Assuming that he stays fit etc
  15. Just came here to post the exact same thing!! Awful news for the Ravens
  16. Yeah just looked into it further, I think i'm going to pay the 2.99 for a monthly subscription for NFL network
  17. Dante/Anyone who may know, Is the draft being shown on UK tv? I've booked the day off on friday assuming it would be on ESPN like last year and it doesn't look like they are showing it?!
  18. With the 24rd pick in the 2012 VT Mock Draft, the Pittsburgh Steelers select... Dont'a Hightower Alabama ILB As a Steelers fan I'm still hoping Poe will slide to us. With him off the board alongside the best value OL prospects, Colbert will stick to the BPA principles and take Hightower so that he can be groomed as James Farriors long term replacement.
  19. With the 20th pick in the 2012 VT Mock Draft, the Tennessee Titans select... Stephon Gilmore South Carolina Cornerback Titans need to replace Cortland Finnegan, could have been GIlmore or Dre Kirkpatrick taken here. Gilmore's stock appears to keep rising throughout the draft process so gone for him here.
  20. I'm still hoping Poe will fall to the Steelers. With the 16th pick in the 2012 VT Mock Draft, the New York Jets select... Melvin Ingram Illinois Defensive End Jets really need to upgrade their pass rush and will be very happy Ingram is still on the board. I also toyed with a wide receiver here but any of those still available would probably be a bit of a reach at 16.
  21. What a worthwhile contribution, thank you for your insight
  22. With the 13th pick in the 2012 VT Mock Draft, the Arizona Cardinals select... Jonathon Martin Stanford Offensive Tackle Offensive line is a big need for the Cardinals, now Reiff is off the board they will take the next best in Martin. Now they are having to go with Kolb or Skelton, protecting the QB becomes even more important.
  23. With the 10th pick in the VT 2012 Mock Draft, the Buffalo Bills select... Riley Reiff Iowa OT Reiff could fill a big need for the Bills, on either side of the line.
