Sorry wasnt looking there! [dcumbrian] where's everyone cufconline> I thought nobody was going to come this week! Kynson's - been/still is partying [dcumbrian] Know the feeling - bottle of wine still clearing [dcumbrian] Didn't get to the match, was it really that bad? cufconline> According to reports, we were pretty dire up front [dcumbrian] Still hoof and puff then cufconline> MK claims we were "outstanding" in the first half [dcumbrian] so good that the Yorkshire edition of the Sunday paper only - mentioned the goal [dcumbrian] What would you do to the team to improve it? cufconline> I think it's about the third last minute goal we've conceded - this season cufconline> Buy 11 new players ?? [dcumbrian] Yeah, Shrews, Halifax and Hull cufconline> Seriously, we need more midfield invention and at least two - goalscorers [dcumbrian] 8 points up in smoke [dcumbrian] how about a header of the ball ie target man cufconline> McGregor obviously missed yesterday cufconline> Neither Stevens or Finney can do that job - possibly Mendes - could [dcumbrian] we don't seem to go to the gaol line any more, crossing from 30 - yeards out [dcumbrian] sorry 'goal' cufconline> I thought we have been reduced to long range shots and long - passes cufconline> Searle OK coming forward, but we have a lack of passing ability [dcumbrian] Stevens only appears to be good if we can maintain pressure cufconline> He's under pressure coz he's the only one who can score - regularly [dcumbrian] Would you go back to a 'back 5' cufconline> As long as someone like Patterson was included, he's Ok at - bringing it out [dcumbrian] when i say pressure i mean on the opponents goal (not on Stevens - whom I like) cufconline> Yes - if Stevens is out of the game he's not very effective at - other things - e.g. tackling back cufconline> He's basically a goalscorer - so needs good service from - midfield [dcumbrian] Could be 2,500 or less at the Cardiff match cufconline> Can't see many more - midweek games are usually 500 or so down - on weekends cufconline> However I'll be there whatever [dcumbrian] I'll be coming from Sheffield, but the travelling is starting to - get to me when the matches are poor cufconline> Understand completely - why travel 150-odd miles to see rubbish - ? [dcumbrian] its the journey back thats hard cufconline> Esp. when we've lost :( [dcumbrian] Whats the latest on Sponsership of shirts cufconline> I think we needed one more fiver last time I checked [dcumbrian] I've mine ready, just want to do something positive for the team cufconline> It would be nice to see the ML advertised in the matchday - programme [dcumbrian] Yes, it's the only way I can keep in touch (along with the Web - sites) don't get any news down here cufconline> I get some of my news for this site from news/star some from - Sunday Sun, some even off the list :) [dcumbrian] I like the variety of comment, the caption was good cufconline> I think Dave's doing another caption comp next month (another MK - pic that I sent him) [dcumbrian] Is the news/star as bias as MK makes out cufconline> Bias against him? [dcumbrian] Yeah cufconline> Not IMO. I think it's pretty fair really. Its not as bad as some - tabloid coverage can get cufconline> BTW - they ran a big interview with him on Friday [dcumbrian] Would a few good results change the crowds attitude or is the - anger deeper [dcumbrian] Would a few good results change the crowds attitude or is the - anger deeper [dcumbrian] Will the interview be on Reeves offside? cufconline> I'll ask Dave if he can scan and OCR it cufconline> Some people have vowed never to return while MK is in charge... [dcumbrian] How much equipment do you guys have cufconline> I've got a multimedia Pentium + scanner + printer (currently - under repair) [dcumbrian] MK seems to have got it wrong over the last three years, should - have bought after the first promotion cufconline> I think he used the East Stand as an excuse not to buy - players... [dcumbrian] If he bought players he might fill it! [dcumbrian] We definitly need leadership on the pitch cufconline> Exactly - I sit in the East Stand and the atmosphere is actually - quite good - but it's only one third full [dcumbrian] i still enjy standing, brings back memories of the 70's cufconline> Defensively, We're OK but if we can't score we're going nowhere - :( cufconline> Well maybe down to the Conference :( [dcumbrian] Won't happen, the scarborough game showed what we can do with - confidence cufconline> i used to stand in the scratching pen, before that in the - petteril end [dcumbrian] basically we not a bad team, if we could hold onto the ball. - tactics? cufconline> I've got a mad flashing advert on my screen at the moment ... [dcumbrian] i'd forgotten the petteril end and waiting for the halftimes cufconline> I think the system's going tits up - sorry [dcumbrian] I've scolled my screen down to avoid them cufconline> I remember - the bloke used to run on with a ladder and clamber - up to the scoreboard [dcumbrian] Thats right and noone watched the game for 5 mins cufconline> He sometimes got the scores wrong anyway [dcumbrian] do you think we'll get Beardsley eventually cufconline> Don't hold your breath - he'll be on good wages at Fulham [dcumbrian] I suspect once he gets into coaching with Kev we've no chance cufconline> If Keegan ever gets the boot he'd be the one to take over, - possibly [dcumbrian] We need some-one on the touchline that has the players respect cufconline> Think MK should target someone less expensive - I still like - Wadsworth [dcumbrian] Agreed, seemed to have a good setup with him in charge cufconline> He'd also get some of the missing thousands back into BP, I - suspect [dcumbrian] seemed to go down hill after he left, Day did well at first but - I wondered about the players he brought in [dcumbrian] Just getting a manager will bring back some of the crowd cufconline> Certainly bought a stinker in with Couzens, it seems - but - Steph, Archie, Stevens were better [dcumbrian] Couzens needs ball winners around him and less pressure on the - ball cufconline> According to ML posts today, he has breathing problems and can't - run for more than 20 mins ! [dcumbrian] Stevens , Jansen and Smart were the best combination I've seen cufconline> Stevens, Jansen and Wright possibly as good, too [dcumbrian] Find that difficult to believe cufconline> I'd be amazed - although Matt Jansen had a problem like that [dcumbrian] We sold Jansen and Delap two weeks to early, should have made - our position safe first cufconline> We sold them three months too early - they were always going to - go but why then?? [dcumbrian] He thought we were safe and cashed in - seemed to be pushing - them out cufconline> There would have been plenty of offers in the summer, surely? [dcumbrian] I thought they would have been worth more if we were a div - higher cufconline> That is apparently why he went to the IoM, because he thought we - were safe cufconline> He's back in the UK now, BTW [dcumbrian] Sorry, stiil learning ther abbrevs! BTW? cufconline> By the Way :) [dcumbrian] thanks cufconline> Anyway - its been a good chat - I think I'll log off now cufconline> Hope there's more here next week :) [dcumbrian] yeah I need another paracetemol,see you next week cufconline> Bye Dave [dcumbrian] fingers crossed, bye >> dcumbrian has left channel #XC.1228116 Disconnected: you logged off
