    Can't see the comparison to be fair but if he's even half as effective as Jamie was he'll be some player at this level.

    Yes. I have a feeling there is a Leicester sell on clause too.

    You on Zeli Ismail? God almighty, what a powder puff always injured, one trick pony with pace but very ordinary delivery (shall I come back inside?) with 6 starts, 5 sub starts in 38 with a solitary goal and assist.... We scouted a poor right sided player with little upside to the team...

    Tyler French..... Hard to call on the young man. Don't recall seeing him but that is probably down to my memory. I know he went to Flyde but he easily could be a player who falls be the wayside. Hopefully he kicks on.

    Wood is a positive but only a year left on his contract brought in by Collins, Abbot and Rahic. We should be tying him down and hopefully do so.

    Seriously why don't you constructively be objective about the club. You kiss club ass always seeing the upside. On a serious note, do you want the club to move forward?

    And before you comment, yes I do question the club. I am entitled to do so but I also comment on the positives.

    The point is they are not local lads apart from Ishmael nobody knew them so they must have been scouted I am happy to not be involved with the cynicism that parades itself on here thank you very much

    Not answering the question. Do you want the club to move forward?

    In business, did you go with each directive without questioning its potential end result, method and approach?

    You make some good points on this board and yes cynicism does exist, including from me, but your anal approach on not questioning the club is beyond my understanding.

    Thanks. Do you think the current approach of the football club will drive the club forward and why?

    Yes I think we will have a decent team by the time the window closes without threatening the viability of the club. Would I like owners that were prepared to throw money at it of course I would but experience shows it isn’t going to happen. The approach we are taking now is exactly the same as was taking when we had six years of progressing and were twice on the verge of the championship

    Yaya Toure training with Leyton Orient.. Exactly the type of player we should be in for. I blame Rupp.

    But the championship is no longer on our radar, so Imo that's a null idea. Unfortunately your 6 years are counteracted by 3 years of regression which we are currently observing. Falling footfall, sponsorship?, Greater apathy towards our hierarchy, a temporary CEO, an owner under duress, a manager whom 'failed in the clubs objectives' twice before, etc etc.
    What happened then, is immaterial now. That's gone. The need to stop looking backwards is pertinent.

    I'd argue we are closer to the conference than the championship today.

    Football is cyclical I to have doubts about the manager but there is absolutely no reason why we can’t have a good season at least there is no reason for all the cynicism at the moment

    I think the doubts are "higher up" than the manager to be fair
    Have I missed something what gives you the optimism that this will be a good season
    where do you expect us to finish and how

    I believe our last 2/3 years or so have been difficult for some to accept after our previous 5/6 seasons under Parky.
    Then with this virus it has certainly had an effect on many people to different levels, @Fordy117@Fordy117 suggested months back this pandemic could have an effect on peoples well being and I believe he's correct.
    Speaking with many fans both on here and others I know socially they dont have the same appetite for the fortcoming season as they have had for previous seasons, along with what so far looks average pre season recruitment fans are questioning the club going forward, I believe its frustration rather than cynicism.

    I think the players that are left from last year are better than the results towards the end and we did have a decent home record. The recruitment process is still ongoing and when it is finished we will have a better idea but I think we will be up there challenging. That might change if we sell Vaughan without a decent replacement
