April 16, 201412 yr Nobody can predict our starting 11 ever unless Douglas sorts his fucking head out. Picking the team to counteract the other team like he does is a load of bollocks. He needs to pick his best team and we need to take the game to the other team. Its not a chess match like champions league level where a lot of teams are very good ability wise and one moment of class will turn a game. He puts way too much emphasis on what the other team are going to do. Weve chucked a load of points away this season by giving dogshit teams too much respect. Personnel changes will happen with 46 league matches but if we just concentrate on us and let the other teams worry about us then we will be better off imo. All our players are nice and fresh for the summer holidays at least after Dougies squad rotation policy
April 16, 201412 yr I believe Andrews isn't very highly thought of personally or professionally in certain reebok quarters so can't see him being greeted back with open arms, - expecting him to be off somewhere, either released on a free so he can go elsewhere or at least a loan if it were a choice between knight and mills - given mills has got another year would expect him to stay and knight to move on - unless we can release or shift mills on, but he's played enough times this season to suggest DF is happy with him in the squad, so can't see him leaving as for sordell, fuck knows, the next mears

April 16, 201412 yr I honestly don't think we are going to see the wholesale changes a lot of folk seem or would like to think.
April 16, 201412 yr Personally I think dougie will walk away. At the end of the season Not a cat in hells chance!
April 16, 201412 yr I honestly don't think we are going to see the wholesale changes a lot of folk seem or would like to think. I don't really think we need wholesale changes. We need to sort our best system and team and put it on the pitch most of the time. A plan B is always good but Dougie seems to have a plan for a-z and I think the tinkering has done us no favours. Look at Burnley and Leicester, they have not fucked around with their team every week have they?
April 16, 201412 yr Personally I think dougie will walk away. At the end of the season What makes you think that? - and if he's going to walk away, why wait until the end of the season, why has he not done it sooner?
April 16, 201412 yr What makes you think that? - and if he's going to walk away, why wait until the end of the season, why has he not done it sooner? cos he needs the excuse of us going into administration, silly
April 16, 201412 yr cos he needs the excuse of us going into administration, silly I forgot about that, have we got enough of a points buffer yet to suffer the 10pts deduction, or will we just start next season on -10? Edited April 16, 201412 yr by CWP
April 16, 201412 yr I forgot about that, have we got enough of a points buffer yet to suffer the 10pts deduction, or will we just start next season on -10? Start next season on -10 then Kia can buy at a knock down price
April 16, 201412 yr What makes you think that? - and if he's going to walk away, why wait until the end of the season, why has he not done it sooner? Craig Davies is walking away.
April 16, 201412 yr I forgot about that, have we got enough of a points buffer yet to suffer the 10pts deduction, or will we just start next season on -10? would be next season too late for this year we've missed our chance to have all our assets sold off in a fire sale
April 16, 201412 yr I honestly don't think we are going to see the wholesale changes a lot of folk seem or would like to think. but that's been half his problem, the deadwood and high earners who we're waiting till the summer to shift... I'd be surprised if the following are here next season, by choice or by someone taking them off our hands: Eagles Knight NGog Andrews Mears C Y Lee M Davies Mortiz Mason if that does happen, there's a lot of work to do
April 16, 201412 yr would be next season too late for this year we've missed our chance to have all our assets sold off in a damp squib sale

I'd be surprised if the following are here next season, by choice or by someone taking them off our hands: Eagles Knight NGog Andrews Mears C Y Lee M Davies Mortiz Mason if that does happen, there's a lot of work to do Yet, on paper, all of them should be easily good enough for this league.

I thought Ngog had already gone? Anyways, I would be VERY surprised if M Davies, Moritz, Lee, Knight are NOT here next season. What makes you think they won't be? Mears will still be collecting his pay and rotting in the reserves too. Mason won't be back unless it's on a season-long loan, and if Andrews is back he won't be playing. No idea what's happening with Eagles, depends whether his contract is up or not (I'm assuming for now that it is). So out of the 8 you listed (not counting Ngog) I'd think that only 2 or 3 won't be playing for us next season.

Ngog only on loan so until he's officially gone and he's not costing us anything he's on the list, either way, he won't be here If bids come in for m Davies and Lee I think they'll be sold, be surprised if no bids come in or agents aren't touting them, hope not, but would be surprised Isn't mears out of contract? Moritz out of contract, df suggested his next offer won't be as good as this one (for him and all the rest out of contract) and would think likely be tailored to how often he plays, so then we'll see how happy he is on the bench then As for Knight, depends on how much we offer and how arsed he is about looking for another deal, but again he won't get as good as he's on now

April 16, 201412 yr I'm sure NGog has gone My mate Wiki say On 27 January 2014, N'Gog joined Premier League side Swansea City until the end of the season, signing for an undisclosed fee.[27] He made his debut for the club on the 1 February 2014 as a substitute for Nathan Dyer in a 2-0 away defeat to West Ham United.[28]
April 16, 201412 yr Well, as said, will be surprised if he's here next season Thought it were a loan, glad we're not paying him anything
April 16, 201412 yr Of that list Eagles - Won't be here, contract up and not even making the bench now. Knight - Depends if he wants to move to the US, will be offered a new deal so I expect him to still be here NGog - Already gone Andrews - Doesn't really want to stay, just a case of whether someone is prepared to pay most of his wages Mears - Out of contract ( I think) so gone C Y Lee - Will probably be off if rumours of Hull making a bid are to be believed, Dougie will want some money to re invest, hopefully in the Juke M Davies - I think he will still be here, misses too many games for anyone to give us the transfer fee we are looking for. Moritz - Not sure he will accept lower wages knowing he is unlikely to start games. Mason - Unless Cardiff stay up won't be coming back. If they do, then maybe I'd also add Sordell and Craig Davies to the list of those likely to be playing elsewhere next season.
