    Can't see that being a problem.</p>

    I'd also like Angelina Jolie to be fitter, Mount Everest to be taller and Supertyke to complain a bit more.</p>

    I've been away quite a few times over the last few years with the 11 O'Clock club (nessie and albatross et al) and I can say the definite high point of those trips is the Drinking prior to the game. So if Simon is planning on being more boring than we already are away from home then I think I'll just give the game a miss and just stay in the pubs.</p>

    We can't get any less entertaining surely.</p>

    RE: Christ

    He wants us to be a bit tougher etc. I know what he's meaning, but that comment caused a slight chuckle.

    Bobby Hassell in a play making defensive midfield role

    Just that

    Poor old Bobby.

    Does whatever's asked of him. But he's far better when the game's in front of him - sat in front of the back 4 he's fine, but ask anymore of him in a midfield role and he's struggling, cos that's not his position.

    Trying to take this seriously

    The few points we won away from home were where we played entertaining football - eg Watford Charlton

    The times we went with a packed defence and loads of defensive midfielders - once we go a goal down - which we inevitably do we are stuffed.

    Still it will be quite an achievement to beat our performance for lack of entertainment at QPR last season this time out

    Wasnt that the first time we tried the experiment of Hassle in Midfield. Maybe it will work a bit less well today then

    I agree

    Stoke away - we went and had a right go at them, one of the best away performances for around 60 minutes I've seen.</p>

    Then there was Leicester...</p>

    That's like when their manager said he wanted the Germans to be more offensive. nt

    Lol

    I'm not sure it's possible as you hint.

    Practically fell asleep watching us away last season, only to be woken up by the opposition scoring every few minutes.
