John we played lots of times in stuttgart .

I was there pre season watching the toffees all changed there now.

I believe the good side of the international break is that most of our depleted squad will have a rest – and give another month a good go.

Bollocks Ian,could be plums.

You speak both on a regular basis,but dont speak at all when you have no comeback to a fair question.

Memory bad Mark,worked on a lot of sites around Germany,never that far south.

Stuttgart is in the back of my mind?

I don’t think we’ve played well in a complete league game, yet. The Coventry game summed us up this season. When we knocked it around, we looked good but too often we wasted possession and just aimed long balls up to Barry. It took us going a goal down to buck our ideas up. We seem to be slow starters and we need to do something about the corporate seats in home games because those seats are half empty as the second half starts which doesn’t help the atmosphere.

You can’t judge anything after 10 games. Under Ancelotti we were 2nd on Boxing Day until we came down with the decorations. As others have said, we were in a great position last year with 7 matches to play. We can only look at how we are playing and I don’t think we’ve been all that convincing. We have shown good character to get back into games but I still don’t know what our style is.

I expect us to finish around 11th or 12th unless we can bring in some quality in January.
