If one thing has been clear this year it's that Berro is a 9. Give Lee another chance at 7. Didn't we play our best football of the season at the end of the Rovers game?

| Quote ="KNOCK OFF NIGEL"He comes into the attacking line well and has the ability to produce a bit of the off the cuff stuff. I dont see him as a permanent FB but I do beleive he's been our best option recently. I do agree that long term he is a Winger/Centre of the Pat Richards mould.
Fair enough he's making his fair share of errors at the minute but as with last season I can't help but wonder how many of these errors would have produced a bit of magic if other players were expecting passes and running off the ball instead of stood around watching.
Saints and Wakefield isn't the best time to play a player that hasn't played for such a long time (Reardon). Add to the fact that we have just lost our current stand in Winger (Briscoe), then this wasn't the time to drop Hall.'"
Halls confidence is totally shot, he was in pieces after the game against Rovers, having coughed up so much ball, a rest will do him good then bring him back at centre!

Just that I reckon everyone will then moan that we went back to what didn't work last year. You are right he is good at half, but he's a great at 9.
By the way, did anyone mention starting Hall at 6 - or even Whiting - and maybe moving Richard Horne to 7.

I've wanted to see Whiting at 6 for a long time

No sorry I prefer to blame Agar for dropping him because it suits my agenda.

In support of your sarcasm: ([urlhttp://www.manchesterunitedyears.com/managers/[/url). Do you think we might give him at least until the end of the season? Before you say "are you really expecting us to compare Agar with Ferguson" the answer is I don't know. I don't think he's had enough time with a fit squad yet.
Ferguson was installed manager at Old Trafford in 1986; however he had to wait until 1990 before picking up his first major silverware, the FA Cup. After winning the European Cup Winners Cup and League cups in 1991 and 1992 respectively, he finally won the league by the end of the 1992-93 season, with repeated success the coming his way the next season.
He managed United to glory in the 95-96 season as they won the ‘double,’ winning both the premiership and FA Cup. His highlight occurred in 1999, as Manchester United struck gold winning the infamous ‘treble.’ They won the Premier league, FA Cup and Champions league. The following season saw Ferguson managing United once again to premiership triumph. United won the league in the 2002-03 season however with Chelsea emerging with a wealth of talented players, they have struggled to see similar success in the last few years. H managed United to FA Cup victory in 2004 and Carling Cup victory in 2006.

Agar hasn't had enough time yet for sure. Not with a fit squad. His recruitment has shown signs of improvement over his predecessor even if the players aren't actually here yet . If the were we would be a better side. He's made mistakes for sure as do all coaches. We are certainly not the finished article with much room for improvement. This does not mean however we are as bad as some of the moaners would claim. Against Rovers there was nothing in the game. We should have won it with the amount of possession in the last 30 mins. We need to be better with the ball for sure and a top class scrum half would make a big difference. Due to cap restrictions that will have to wait until next year. In the meantime we need to strive for top 6 which will be difficult if the injuries continue to pile up again. One things for sure if we change our coach every season we'll go nowhere.

Thorman lined up at FB defensively for about 5 mins but still lined up at 7 in attack. He actually went back to FB for about the last 8 mins with G Horne on the wing and Hall back to FB.
Lee has been playing very well at 9 and 13 for me, keep him away from 7.

I'd have left him at FB and played Reardon on the wing. Hall linking in to the line is our primary source of creating something.

I take your point about that but I would have Reardon at FB, he can play other positions but he excels at fb.

When he left Bradford he was arguably the best British fullback, he had just had a blinder in the GF. Although since he went to Wire he has done nothing, there again which players have?

Aye, he was playing superbly around that time. Since he went to Wire he has suffered with poor form and injuries.
