    Ricky, I am very happy that we are joint top, although with even one more goal scored, we would be top outright.

    I think that being 10 points clear of seventh place already has pretty much ensured, with the standard and consistency of most other teams in this league, that we will be guaranteed a minimum of a play off spot.

    But I grew up watching entertaining football. Watching the likes of Marsh, Bowles, Stainrod and countless other footballers who provided real entertainment over the years. Players that could do things that the average bloke couldn't. To my mind, the majority of footballers these days are super fit athletes first and talented footballers a very poor second. I accept that you would prefer a win over performance, but I absolutely hate wasting my time and money watching teams whose primary focus is not to lose. The Doncaster game if nothing else, proved that is a very dangerous tactic.

        Think that ship has sailed unfortunately. As a player, a class apart from others in this league, but attitude wise, has let both himself and us down more than is acceptable. A real shame that Redknapp couldn't find a way of sorting him out for this season at least as we would have been promoted by February.

        I think in years to come though, I'll remember more of what he has shown us than any of Harry's has beens.

        Delighted to see that performance last night though. As soon as the team was announced, it was clear that there would be a vast improvement.

          Unfortunately i agree with your comments on Adel. Such a shame and i really don’t know what his next move as a professional is?

          Of course i would love us to always play like last night, just feel it is too open agaisnt a stronger opposition. I have no problem with the way harry has had us playing since the start of the season. Year in, year out, you see these times who grind out results not playing partiucally well and i for one am glad we are one of these.
