Duff on the scoresheet…I can’t believe it !
Maybe he should be given another chance and who knows maybe kk can get smith scoring again too.

If they both played to their potential it would be amazing and almost like 2 new signings.

Give em both until christmas and see if keegan can get them fit and hungry again.

Good work out and danny gutherie sounds like he really wants to play for the shirt too.

Good result for an opening friendly. Excellent morale boost for Duff and Duthie. On a less optomistic note, Edgar seemed a little inexperienced; Shola let himself down for a striker and Smith seemed invisible.

From KK’s post match interview, you have to assume that we’re not selling anyone (Smith, Duff, ?Ameobi) or we have to replace them as well as another 3 signings.

I could only catch up on the match from comments.
Did anyone see the game..?
How bad was Edgar?
Did Smith feature at all?
Was N’Zogbia happy at LB?
Which players ran with the ball at their men?
How did Milner do in central midfield?

I’d really appreciate some of these answered from an eye witness.
Any takers?

normski… No offense lad, but i cant really take into account what you do or dont hate when i write.

Matt… Your taking what i wrote out of proportion wouldnt you agree?. It was pointed out that we needed 3 players more, and i find that a bit on the low side if we are going for top 6, but i guess any posting on here could get hacked down if we wanna be negative about it.

A note on the same subjekt it is this targetting of comments with negative attitudes that was part in Ed closing this site down. Im not saying you guys went over the edge, cause you didnt, but thats how it starts and i get truly p*ssed to the point of explotion when people turn this into something that has NOTHING to do with football such as opinions on “sayings”… Im by no means trying to start a fight here, but if you havent got a constructive answer which is football related to my post then i dont give a rats *** about your feelings.

In a perfect World we’d bring in 18 World class players but we’ve got to be realistic.

Keegan said 3 or 4 class players for the first team and he’s already got Jonas, so that leaves 2 or 3 more plus another 1 or 2 young lads like Guthrie.

valle am not having a go kid but i absolutely hate that saying of “in a perfect world” there is no such thing in and outside of football, nothing on this planet is perfect,apart from maybe my little lad,but he is only perfect to me…

in a perfect world we would get 5-7 players more who would all be better than what we currently have.

agree with everything you have said there normski. Also, im not saying we dont need signings, i would be seriously deluded if i thought that, i am just saying that an AM is not vital IMO

spyro i still think we need to strengthen the backbone of the team ie cb,cm and cf my reasons being …taylor is not the player everyone thinks he is, barton well what are we gonna get from him next season no body knows and viduka will be injured at least 40% of the time…
