    Too many players, once again, passing sideways and backwards hence we have great possession stats.
    Fat lot of use they are.
    Skybet thinks our season is over, my £2 bet is now worth 0.43p as cashout.
    We are 100/1 to win the league now.

    No it's cowardice, you can't keep their gobs shut during a good run but every time we have a bad run they run and hide. And now not even the brown noses at width of a post can get anything out of them.

    Good day out though. Certainly better than Sutton and MKD

    This season isn't over until we amass 50 points.

    Then it is.

    Until then, there's no room for complacency.

    This season was over once we lost to Carlisle in the play offs last season .I mean in all honesty is anyone actually shocked at what's going on now ????

    Not quite sure it was over after Carlisle.

    But was certainly over seeing the summer recruitment.

    Oduor, couldn't do anything in a rubbish Hartlepool side.
    Taylor, laughed out of his last two English clubs.
    Tulloch, did nothing for an even worse Rochdale side.
    Afoka, just why?
    Oyegoke, roundly despised at MK.

    The summer more than set the scene for this season.

    Enough to justify us starting this season with a new manager
    Anyone could see with MH spending the war chest and his style of play what was coming

    Absolutely. We fell just short last season. We knew what was needed to go one better. A bit more quality, pace and mobility in midfield, replacements for Banks and Critchlow and adequate cover for Cook as he was obviously never going to hit the heights of last season. Pattison apart (who we've been unlucky with due to injuries), everything brought in has been a downgrade. No forethought in terms of whats been needed, just a rush to get as many bodies in the building as possible and hope we strike lucky.....we havent!!!!

    I would describe our recruitment this season as a ‘supermarket dash’ style.

    Agree with most of that. I remember feeling extremely underwhelmed after transfer deadline day and I said on this forum that we definitely had a weaker squad than last season. Atrocious by all concerned

    I fear it is already. Too much bang average, not enough quality, too many injuries to key players. Hughes has left a squad with about the same level of quality as the one he found, when he should have have left us in a better position after 18 months. Just goes to show that we haven't improved for nearly 3 years now, if you take Adams squad into consideration.

    I still dont understand why we needed to change the formation early doors as we did. We needed slight tweaks and a more attacking mentality from last season, not such drastic change.

    we recruited for a formation we no longer play

    I would describe it as ‘lost the shopping list, can’t remember what I was going to buy or what ingredients l needed for the meals, supermarket dazed and confused wander’!

    This season and every other season will be over by end of October if Stefan and Sparks are still here... sad but true, no chance am i buying a season ticket if we're in this league next season... i'll hold out until we're Championship.. which probably means after this season i'll never step foot in VP again.. and im only in my 30's
