1) How do you think your club’s season has gone so far?

Gutted at this season so far. We have lost about eight players to injury and the new manager has had no honeymoon period at all. Just not clicking at all right now. Depressing!

2) What would be a good finish for your side in the league? Do you fancy your chances in the FA Cup?

Start of season, even with MON’s untimely exit, I’d have expected top six, but with so many injuries and no time to buy any players and things really not clicking on the field, I’d take top ten now. As for the FA Cup, we can but dream.

3) Where would you like to strengthen your team in the January window and will it happen? Any particular ­players you’d like to see at your club?

Every position on the pitch if our current lot don’t start playing with some pride. They may or may not like the new manager, that does not excuse some of their behaviour. We need a new goalie, probably in the summer though, but mostly we need bodies in midfield and a couple of new strikers.

4) Are you bothered that England failed to land the 2018 World Cup bid?

More bothered the corrupt way it was dealt with and the lies about votes. Lack of respect to England and a waste of our time and money.

5) Is there one big decision your club has to take or has taken? Will it make or break your season?

I guess how many games Gerard Houllier will be ­allowed to stay in charge if we keep losing.
