Well done NR. Positive subs away from home can only be commended, especially when we really need some wins on the board.

Think Bamba is a real coup at this level. Austin now playing to his max with Ngoyi ready to take his place so the side looks better. If we need goals there's always Sharp and Mirco to come off the bench. If we landed Woolford we would be even better even though he is a fan of the theatre of hollow myths. He is an old fashioned winger who will pick out Morison all day long from the left. Picking up Campbell would be great too, would provide us with another dimension. I therefore applaud the efforts of Redders and Salerno in this window but I'd love to see Pavoletti and Knockaert arrive also.

Unfortunately Pavo got snapped up yesterday by Genoa so good luck to him. I'd prefer Pringle to Woolford which has been rumoured. Would love Knockaert to play for us but I'm not sure we even need another striker. I'd like Campbell but I think Ant is good, Morison is a good target man, Doukara is a hassle for defenses running in behind and Sharp is a poacher. We have most types of striker covered so we should be ok with wingers.

Most types covered that just don't put the ball in the net often enough! Maybe it is the fact that these guys have not had the service but come on, we need them to find form and the net more often. Let's hope that Sharpy has the taste and really goes on a run. Can't fault Morrison work rate and effort but - goals win games and it just ain't happening.
Over the moon with last few results but I Really hope things start shaping up following any new additions (who are not injured!). We need it and the fans deserve it - work in progress and getting there but we have a lot of loan players and a few out of contract at the end of the season - they won't sign or stay if we can't find the winning formula utilising the squad!

I know exactly what you mean mate and I agree but we know none of them are bad players. Now that Douks has been dropped for a few games I think if you subbed him on for 30 you'd see a man possessed. Antenucci plays better with another striker so he's best as a sub too. Morison is a good target man but 4231 doesn't require a target man (look at City using Aguero solo up top) so there's no reason Sharp can't start a few games.

Main benefit we have with Doukara is that he's shown promise, he's quick and strong and he's only young so he has time to develop.

Sorry kdeaco but I don't agree you can play Sharp up front on his own, he needs to play with a target man to be fully effective. Aguero is a totally different class of player in a team with attacking quality which does not allow comparison with our situation

31 Jan 2015 18:33:23

Ditto to that

Good job we got the 3 points today, or we would be 4th from bottom. On a positive note, table is becoming very congested and a few good results will see us climb quickly :)

Alleluia

ooooooo. VERY interesting last comment in Billy Sharp's after-match interview!

Where can I find that then?
Was it on Sky?

No danum
Local BBC radio, but its online
But I don't want you wasting another 10 minutes on my account so I'll let you what he said. He was asked about the MC situation and said something along the lines of ' if he leaves Redders and the lads to get on with it, we'll be fine'

On the subject of interviews, I've got a great feeling about Sol Bamba. In his interview says he was furious at goal because a smaller player got his head to the ball, and that shouldn't be happening. Think he gave Silvestre a right *rollocking. Very premature but possible future captain?

Thanks Speedy, wasn't having a go.
It's just that you have so many posts it took me ages to find the one you meant.

Id

I'd have heard it if I hadn't turned radio off to watch 'come dine with me'.
The fat bloke won, if anyone's interested! :)

Hey danum
Don't worry mate. I never thought you were having a go.
But don't leave us hanging in mid air about come dine with me!
Aren't you going to post the winning recipe? :)

3 points is 3 points let's get on a run now boys we can only improve from the start we've had MOT

31 Jan 2015 14:15:37
EXCLUSIVE:leeds can head a ball.wouldent of guesseed it would be byram though 1st headed goal of the season please someone have to correct this by full time need 3pts. lufc4life

31 Jan 2015 13:35:59
Get the advantage and the give it away with a git to the Udder, same old, same old.

Well. That's unusual. Being a winning team!?

Ha ha. That's so funny
Always said sharp was prolific!

If his 3 goals is prolific, what is Mowatt and, Doukara and Antenucci?

Smitch
More Prolific?

31 Jan 2015 11:34:16
Well next two games:

3 points not a disaster
4 points I'd be happy
5 points would be unbelievable
6 points would be fantastic

Any more and I'd be dreaming

MOT

5 points would be impossible!

Marc
I think you will see that's what I said :)

Should a team play its best players if they are fit and in form or keep the team that has done ok recently?
Not what I'd call doing well but better than recent history!
I would change a winning team if I'd just bought a better player!

31 Jan 2015 10:43:52
Good luck today lads 3 points please from the udders.

LUFC MOT

Ausman history shows you play your best team, not just your best players. The team formation/ way of playing coupled with players who play in their normal positions (might not be the best players) is what you do

Great example of trying to just play your best players rather than best team is England with gerard/lamps midfield which never worked for England, they best players but didn't work together so not best team.

Well for me Antenucci has to start, Arsenal wouldn't drop Sanchez for Bendtner would they? Sloth is also a player that should be starting. Danish international can't get in a struggling championship side. As today is a battling game, I'd drop Cook and bring in N'Goyi for steel.

Why change a winning team, we must remember the signings are Cellino's choices not Redfearn's I say fair play to Redders for sticking with a team & formation that so far is starting to show some improved team performances.

Hey. 1 win in about 10 ain't a winning team
It's a desperate team
Our standards have dropped!
Which is understandable but
Don't have your best players on the bench cause last game bucked the trend
I know it's 1-0

Agree smitch
