Re: after 10 games who is going up and going down

I never said they were already up, I said they're beginning to run away with it though. When making snide remarks at least don't put words into my mouth. Sheff United since beat PNE 2-0 away btw. I think they'll be difficult to stop from here, I can see them lifting the title pretty comfortably. Di...

I thought he was. Wanted too much time on the ball and slowed play down. Didn’t look up to speed.
Could not agree more.

His hesitancy on the ball put us under unnecessary pressure on a number of occasions

In his absence we have played the ball out from the back much more quickly

Perhaps the fairest way is a ballot for fans with over 6000 points but to restrict how often you can win the ballot.
