spot on.i fancy grayson to have us out of it next season.if only he had been here when the season started

Larry, so far, has been a good appointment. Got us playing with confidence and appears to have sorted out the defence stupidity that cost us under Mac. Naylor was an inspired signing, and Sodje alongside him would be great if we could get him full time.

However, there's still work to be done. I thought their goal last night came down partly to very poor positioning from Kasper. He was glued to the near post when the first cross came in, which meant he had to tear across the goal to block any header. Once they'd nodded it back into the middle he had to turn again and was in no position to do anything. I'm not saying they wouldn't have scored anyway, but with a better keeper he'd at least have had a chance.

i mentioned this at the time.he was 5 yards in front of his goal,shocking positioning.
we need a keeper,right back,centre midfielder and a striker.
beckford will go and so will delph. beckford would have gone regardless,he is not top of graysons xmas card list

lambert at bristol rovers would be good, money talks. £3m for beckford and half that on lambert.

i would love sodje to stay but i would guess it's 50/50. he has enjoyed it but may want to go back to reading to take a chance under the new manager

Sodje's out of contract at the end of next month isn't he?

I think we'll get him.

You'd get Lambert for £500,000 I reckon, he's not worth any more.

As mentioned, they've got a new manager coming in, which could well muddy the waters. Might be a case of him going back there to test the lie of the land but if he's in the same boat there's a chance we could get him.

Hope so. I think he's quality and he is one of the best defenders we've had since we got relegated from the premiership.

I'd rather we keep Snodders and Becchio over Beckford and Delph but way the last 2 performed last night and as far as we know no one has bid for those 2 this season they could be staying. There was prem teams interested in Delph but no one has ever bid for him.

Still love to know why Beckford took that pen when Snodgrass is the designated penalty taker. Would have been a different game had we scored that.

Who's out of contract now? I know Fraser, Prutton and Douglas are and will most likely move on but I know theres a few more!

Beckford 34 goals and Delph is class in the centre and rightfully deserved the leagues young player of the year. A couple of bad games and everyone wants rid. I agree we need to keep Snodders and Bechio but imo Beckford and Delph are more influential. Totally disagree with him having the pen though, should have been snodders or Robinson

beckford can, and will, be replaced
