    New Manager of Norwich City. he has done a great job with limited resources at Hamilton. It is always good to see an ex-red doing well.

    Yes, good luck to the bloke. Big step.

    I think of him as an ex-red in the same way I think of Phil Gridelet .......... we didn't really see much of them !

    He was a youngster when he was with us at the time of our relegation in 2002. I met him briefly once. He gave my youngest him autograph.

    You must have gone to different games from me. Alex was a regular for the reds in his four years with us.

    He was *****. He tried, but he was *****. And loved a drink.

    I wish him well, kind of, but I can't stand Norwich so **** em.

    Read a BBC article on him that said until he arrived late in his career to Hamilton he was a right back and was converted to centre mid...really?

    Also said when he was player manager at Hamilton he fined himself for an on the pitch incident by taking the whole squad out for a 3 course meal.

    Yep, he was *****. Would probably walk into this midfield. Or last year's.

    Dawson, Neil and Mellis in the same midfield.

    Take Dawson out and add Frimpong in with Mellis (the staple of any ***** midfield) and I agree with you.

    This has the makings of a thread of it's own.

    Not having Mellis or Frimpong disqualifies you on the grounds of insanity.

    You can't have Mellis in there. There's the slight chance he could do summat special. I'd probably go with Fox, Dawson and Woods. I've seen more invention, skill and quality in one Conor Hourihane bad game.

    Sounds like Dagnall. Good luck to him at Norwich be nice to see another Barnsley related guy in the premiership as we have quite a few. Could be our coach one day down the line.
