Barry Silkman soon to be waking up next to a horses head

Wow! A bit harsh. That is what forums, especially football forums, are about. A little bit of humour a lot of opinions a lot of BS and occasionally some nuggets of genuine insight. Not sure why you read the takeover thread when there is only speculation at the moment. I have found it exciting annoying amusing and only occasionally boring.

i think the most important signing is a defensive coach. the number of points dropped and wembley visit denied because we cannot defend set pieces into our box is a sad indictment of Lambert. Not that i advocate sacking him I am also fed up with changing managers and paying them off. Going back to the Delph comments he has been alright last 3 games there were much worse performances across the team last night especially second half when ireland nzogbia gabby stopped looking for space or the ball.

It must be an indication of how bad things are that NRC has taken up so much of this thread, When we signed him I loved it in a KK sort of a way. Box to box midfielder, captain of West Ham at a young age, England under 21's. I thought he would move us on to another level. Every game he played I was willing him to do well. But he was never all that, occasional lung bursting runs that ended in him passing to a defender when Gabby was free or passing to the keeper instead of firing it past him. Even as a DM he would often win the ball only to give it away. He always left me feeling a bit disappointed. It's been a bit of an emtional repeat with N'zogbia and Ireland. Though I was surprised with Nzogbia's contribution against Southampton, in that he made one. Maybe time hasn't run out on him. I don't watch all these lower league players people mention on here. I watch the Villa, I watch match of the day and I watch my lad play (he could do a job for us). So I don't know how good Dale Stevens is but I would rather give somebody an opportunity to step up a level than go back to somebody who failed to take his. NRC sorry but move on
