Not seen him yet - but reasonable reports since the Stockport debacle.

Sign him up or ship him out?

He's getting on a bit isn't he. Hasn't done anything wrong, but perhaps look for younger alternatives, especially if we get promoted.

been shifted to RB in Smiffys absence and has done the job IMHO

I thought he was a bit dodgy on saturday, and roberts seemed to be constantly having a go at him about something

He's only 28 isn't he? Lives in Northampton so would need to move closer if he's to fit in with Sturrock's 30 mile thing.

If his wage demands are reasonable then we should sign him up, if only as back-up.

Roberts has a go at everyone and anyone to try and cover up his own inadequacies.

What he said and the way he spoke to Blair last Saturday would have got him a good fucking smack where I come from

too true. Westwood was still dodgy though. Looked a bit lost... like pooky does almost every game

Here we go again, another one comes on here and has a go at  Pooky.  The lad has done well in recent games, get off his back!

Fred, when you enter P o o k why does it come out as Fatbury?  I know he's a bit of a twat (Fatbury but this is taking the piss a bit!

We all want the same thing at the end of the day, getting on your own player's back is not helping matters.

I think Sonic is having a bit of a giggle at Fatters expense

Probably teaching fatbury a lesson to stop going on about him.

I thought P O OK was good on Saturday actually FWIW

more importantly are we going to sign Barry Corr

I actually think Pooky has potential, he just looks lost most games. Thats all im saying. It frustrates me, especially when we have a player like Weston in the squad

When you consider our excellent defensive record this season, and centre midfield is key to this as well as  the back four, and Pook has been nearly ever present, and Weston and Timlin went right off form, and Luggy is a good judge of a player, then Pooky must be doing something right. Especially with Roberts so inconsistent and temperamental, as was  Zoob at times. and with low-scoring strikers. Would we be almost there for promotion with no Pook? I think not. Peacock has done an evcellent job, but late in the season.

P00k still dwindled on the ball a bit too much on Saturday but he didn't really do anything wrong. I'd keep him in the team as he seems to be quite settled as well.

I have a friend who lives near Sheffield and is an ardent Wednesday supporter.  He is more than a touch surprised at the impact Corr has had here but he says that he will NOT be offered a new contract at Hillsborough so will be free to sign!

Roberts punted a hit and hope ball down the R/H channel, Blair worked his socks off to get to the byline before it went out.

Amazingly he reached it and get his foot round it, only to see the cross go onto the top netting.

It was a virtually impossible task.

Roberts then stood with his hands in the air yelling at Blair for such a crap cross.

The W word was clearly audible.

I ran to the front and told him off !

Much similiar things I noticed from Roberts towards Westwood. I think his days are numbered from what i've heard, but then I don't listen to everything I hear

keep westwood. 30 years old, looks solid, has experience and wins everything in the air. compliments ifil quite nicely.

not sure how williams will be after his injury - can he play each week next season? a good backup (ala westwood) would be very welcome.

I think whilst William has been class, he might struggle next year - but has invaluable experience, and want to move into coaching.  He also lives localish - keep him even to move him into coaching too - I think he could be a very sucessful manager given time, and it seems shrewd to have him on board in some capacity.

I'd keep the big dog.  He's not outstanding, but looks decent

he's a typical sturrock type 'steady eddie'

Post by: Tails on Tuesday, April 24, 2007, 12:07:44
I'm Pook's biggest critic, but I think he's been fantastic recently. Westwood is a decent player, and I think Sturrock and Corr, for all the stick we got when we signed them, have been superb. I'd keep all of them for next season.

I reckon Sturrock may have Graham Coughlan in mind still - direct competition for Adie 9who may start to have one eye on coaching from next year, especially if the injury doesn't clear up altogether) Not sure if he's injured at Wednesday, but he's not in the side at the moment. If we can bag someone like him, we'd have 3 good centre backs - Ifil, Westwood, Williams - a full back who can do a job there (Vincent) and perhaps Gnapke (if he's any good...)

As for Roberts - thats out of order - suppose it depends how they get on - I'd happily call one of my mates a w*nker for a shit cross, tongue in cheek, but if it's said seriously, nobody needs that. The sad thing is, nobody scares the shit of defenders like he does when he's running at them - if we get rid then we need to replace with somebody equally quick and skillful.

Roberts even got shitty with Po0k when he wanted to take one of his long throws, even though when aimed at Corr they were actually causing problems.
