Just my thoughts? Replace Bamba with cooper give Berkeley Capt. Roll bring either turnbal in as 1 or bring silvestry back then get bridcutt in mid because we ain't going nowhere with the others Bamba needs to go wood needs to go out on loan to get confidence or sell him and get in a McCormack type striker why we let Aunty go beyond me!

Getting rid of Matt Smith might prove to be an error of judgement. Starting on Tuesday.

Matt Smith is the same type of player as Chris Woods, he should have stayed at Leeds, his development was coming on a treat, he also would have scored more goals for us, it appears someone dropped a clanger. Maybe McCormack wanted a mate, never understand why 3million Woods Smith on a free, we could of used the money elsewhere.

Green and Wood should not be in any team looking towards top half of the table. Silvestri was a much better keeper despite the howlers, and should not be looking for a new team. As for Wood, he has been given so many chances and opportunities both in the team and in the area that it just defies belief why he is still in the starting line up, let alone in the team?

Monk seems to be streamlining the team, unfortunately he has already pushed his best goalkeeper out of the reckoning, but based on what? He hasn't even given him a chance?

I have a feeling Monk will be gone by xmas, unfortunately, he seems to have been given the opportunity to bring players in, but seems to be displacing the wrong ones with them?

Much as I like Bamba, he ain't no Lucas Radebe and never will be.

Please don't tell me it's early days, points at the beginning of the season are just as important as at the end. (if not more so! )

{Ed013's Note - Bold statement that mate about Silvestri being a much better keeper. I suppose we will never know when you have calamity defenders like Bamba being a liability in each game and giving the keeper no chance. Monk and CO need time and unfortunately with the current running of the club I would guess at him going well before then if the fans and media keep up the pressure on him and the team. I really think with the right backing, Monk can bring success, so if Mr Cellino has ambitions, back him with a solid defender and tough tacking midfielder, then lets see how they gel after the transfer window}

Top postage Ed013.

{Ed013's Note - Thank you George, if only we have a David Batty type midfielder, but I am sure we will see arrivals soon}

I think with Billy Bremner (god rest his soul) , Norman Hunter, and Allan Clarke we could be in with a real chance this season.

Ed013

The David Batty type player has arrived in the form of Birdcage. Now for Bamba and Wood replacements. I have some suggestions.

{Ed013's Note - I think Luke Moore would do ok and as for a striker, I suppose that's the hardest position to find due to the demand}

For Ed013

Silvestri has now played for two seasons and for me he has saved far more crucial shots than he ever let in? He deserves far more loyalty from our club, and at least a season where we can actually put a decent defence in front of him?

For Monk to tell him to look for a new club and then put a proven liability (Green) in his place is a total joke? QPR fans were well happy with his (crap) performance and were pleased to be rid?

I really hope that Monk's faith in Green won't be his downfall, but at the moment it seems obvious where the main problem is?

Green has now conceded 11 goals in 3 games, and even dismissing the fact that 4 of them were penalty deciders, that's a pretty poor record?

{Ed013's Note - If the defence was better, the keeper would have a better record. I have watched Silvestri a lot and although a good shot stopper, he is too clumsy and can't command his box. I would happily have Turnbull in either of their places}

Ed. Glad someone has finally mentioned Turnbull. Admittedly I only saw him play once last season but the boy done good, and I've been thinking all along that he was the obvious no 1 choice. No idea why we needed a new keeper when we've got 3 who are all ok or better.

{Ed013's Note - If it wasn't for his injuries, I believe he would be at the highest level}
