Would be nice if he popped the winner in against Germany :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:[/quote]

He must be saving him for the latter stages.
Having watched all the NI matches I can’t understand why he hasn’t been used at all as that Josh McGinnis looks a right carthorse, and he used to be a goalkeeper.[/quote]

Northern Ireland have tried three strikers in their games so far , Washington, Lafferty and Magennis. Grigg has scored more goals this season for Wigan Athletic than those three have between them in the last 2 seasons, in his last two seasons Grigg has scored more goals than Magennis and Washington have score in their whole careers, yet he can’t get a run out.

Leaving aside the history, Leeds and Forest are both “established” championship clubs with more spending power, more income, and more support. Perhaps you have forgotten that the majority of your squad will be playing next season at a level they’ve never experienced before, and like it or not, will be one of the favourites to go down.[/quote]

Both those clubs would have to earn £434,782.61 in revenue per game more than WAFC this coming season just to make up for our parachute payments, let alone the fact they are run by foreign owners with no affinity whatsoever with the clubs and don’t seem to be making a good job of getting out of the Championship despite their “established” status.

Pleasant cross country drive via Preston, Clitheroe, Blubberhouses, Harrogate & Ripon, lunch in the one of the cracking pubs in the market square in Thirsk, then a short hop to Middlesbrough.

An uncanny acceptance about the whole fiasco more like! Gates will drop a further 3000 if we go down![/quote]

If we go down ?

I don’t remember the east stand looking so empty for league game for a long, long time, many voted with their feet tonight, I sit in the south west corner so cant judge the west stand from where I sit but that looked just as sparse – anyone in the east/west. know what the south looked like.

ps – forgot the positives, Bong looked half decent but poses the question – ‘how has Taylor been keeping this mon out of the side’. Second half Boycie, Pennant and Kim started linking up quite well and made a few openings, seeing its the first time they have played together it looked promising, then strangely MacKay decided to bring Cowie on for Pennant and end the building threat.

Wimbledon didn’t have the TV rights money that has been given to WAFC, and the certainly didn’t have 60 million quid in parachute payments, so in real terms were they less solid than us ?
There seemed to be “tons of cash floating around” when DW was letting Rosler burn it.

I can’t believe some are claiming Bournemouth are ordinary or we allowed them to play by not getting stuck in or closing them down, we have played them twice this season and lost both but they have won on 15 other occasions scoring 57 goals against teams other than us, are people suggesting that all the other teams stood off them.

Bournemouth played the perfect game yesterday, their passing and movement was superb, on most occasions every player in there side when the ball was at his feet had three options of what to do with the ball, they defended brilliantly and closed the game down when we threatened in the second half, on many occasions in the first half their movement left our fullbacks especially Herd in a two on one position, they were clinical when the luck came their way and nasty when needed – ie. turning 50-50 tackles or minor fouls by us to their advantage by fooling the referee they were more serious.

What they had in abundance was desire, exemplified by how they ridiculously played the ball out from a drop ball in the 90th minute and then pushed up on us to stop us playing the resultant throw-in back into play easily, poor sportsmanship? definitely, but very professional and clinical, many may say they don’t like that, but by heck I bet there aren’t many Latic’s fan who wouldn’t trade what they have and did for what we have.

That could be explained by the fact most all clubs that may have been possibly in the market for him know that because of the number of clubs he has played for this season he cannot play for anyone else other than us or his old club tours.[/quote]
Fair point. I forgot about that.

I stand by the rest of my post though.[/quote]

I have no argument as far as anything else is concerned, I watched him when he came on and wondered had I missed something when others were raving about him on social media sites, I just put it down to the fact I always find it harder than most to except the ability of new players until I judge them over a prolonged period and the fact that he had not had much of a run, plus we were/are crap in all other areas of the field on top of everything else he had to contend with.

Which striker that we sold/let go has been a “roaring success” when they moved on to other clubs ?
