    How much would Warne’s pay off be if we sacked him and can it come out of the loan players pot?

    I think Nyambe is a better RCB than RB as his attacking output is minimal
    We'd also have a second 11 (with everyone fit) of:
    Vickers
    Rooney   Bradley   Forsyth
    Ward   Thompson   Fornah   Sibley
    Barkhuizen   Washington
    Mystery-new-forward
    Which leaves John-Jules, Waghorn and Smith in reserve.

    ramsbottom got a reaction from May Contain Nuts in No midfield control again…   
    I don't think it's even worth investing in another midfielder because they'll still be asked to play in the same way, which is to recycle the ball as quickly as possible and get it to the wide players.  There's nothing wrong with that in theory but it's just not working.  I don't know if I'm the only one to have noticed but Bird & Hourihane are never really in the middle of the field, they're always operating miles apart from one another.  When either of them managed to play a 1-2 it's rarely with each other, and more likely to be either a full back or winger

    One piece of advice me & Mrs Ramsbottom found out too late was that you shouldn’t talk to the sprog during a night feed/nappy change as they think it’s play time, and won’t want to go back to sleep.  Babies have to learn how to sleep properly and any stimulation won’t help matters, so don’t make a lot of eye contact, and keep your trap shut.

    If it ain’t broke, which at that point it wasn’t, why fix it?? What if Warne had made those changes and they still equalised, he’d be absolutely slated for going negative.  I get the feeling with some fans he’s damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t…

    Seddon is about 10 stone wet through, there's no way he should be out muscling NML like he did.  People can't pull Elder apart for his error and not appoint some blame for their first at Nat's door.  It was sloppy.

    If anyone bothers to watch the game back on Ramstv, it is absolute nonsense to say they pinned us in our half for long periods. Possibly 5 minutes after they equalised. We probably lost a little confidence after they equalised and our passing went awry. Aperture from the 2 gifts we gave them, they never looked like scoring.

    Considering we were 2 goals to the good, and very rarely being threatened.  What changes were people demanding??
