If a player has a bad game it doesn't mean they're unprofessional. If anything I think he's quite professional, didn't moan or cause a huge fuss when Houllier froze him out of the squad. A lot of other players would have made a huge deal about that. Ou forgot the deliberate OG v QPR & attempt v everton ? Come on CI they weren't deliberate. If anything they were extremely clumsy and they go towards highlighting his lack of concentration!

Because we've done the right thing so often over the last few years. Maybe not everybody wants to stick the boot in to the club at every opportunity like you?

Just been tweeting Mat Kendrick and he seems to be under the impression that we are definitely choosing to adopt a sell to buy strategy after the first few signings due to wages more than anything else. Must say i'm disappointed with this as if nobody wants to buy our rubbish we're pretty stuck

You've told us a few times that you would like him here and you get the same negative response each time. I would rather start the season with Lichaj at left back than sign Murphy off the Blues.

Your so called banter is always at someone else's expense, that is the issue. Its a speculation thread, look up what "speculation" means before you start berating people for doing it. :evil: Couldn't agree more. Surprised that the mods haven't just created a separate thread for twitter rumours to keep the anti twitter brigade happy.

You've gone down with JulieB syndrome Take a break from Twitter FFS Who are you to tell anyone what to do?

Not being funny but wasn't that the plan last season? Our last manager had a plan that didn't really involve attacking though eh Bicks?

Didn't El Ahmadi wear the number 8 for the Burton friendly?

Eric Djemba Djemba......

Oh behave, the result doesn't matter it's about the players getting used to playing together and match fitness! Ok! point taken, but why the hell cant we score? We shoved a lot of strikers/midfielders out there who can score for the reserves and yet they still can't hit the goal from 10 yards, my daughter can strike better than Benty and she is 7 next month. Today was his first game since March so he was undoubtedly going to be rusty. Give them a break for god sake please. Yes it wasn't the greatest performance in the world but we won and practically the whole team got 45 minutes under their belts. Also don't forget, that was our teams first attempt at attacking football in 12 months after that last idiot in charge don't forget!

Very confident on the ball and always hungry to win it back on the odd occasion that he lost it.

I really dislike Bannan but his set pieces were fairly decent today

Yeah it did... I think you're being pretty unfair on him though, his passing was pretty good today, the one long pass he tried was straight to the player and it must have been at least a 50 yard pass. If we were to keep him i would hope Lambert can get him to step up a level.

We have a creative midfielder in Stephen Ireland he just happened to be unavailable. Also what do you mean by frightening up?? Oops. I meant freshening up but my bloody predictive text decided otherwise. Ah that makes more sense! The quality of opposition makes the game very misleading but i thought our defence were very assured and safe today even Collins who actually played some nice football today. I don't think Hutton is Premier League quality and I'm sure i saw Warnock have one of his usual lapses in concentration again today so unless Lambert is hoping Lowton can step up straight away i'd definitely agree we need a new LB. I really hope Ireland can become a creative force this season.

According to Mat Kendrick SI, FD and MA were all suffering from slight knocks.

clicky Yes please!

Are you going for Warnock based on his experience cause i wouldn't say he was any better than Stevens today...

Goooooooooalllllllllllllllllllllllll

Bloody hell that pass by Collins was immense!

Bannan in ambitious pass attempt shocker

Anybody know who's got the armband for the 2nd half??

Slight knock according to Mat Kendrick along with Delph and Ireland too

Everyone except Marshall i think
