    Are you for real?

    Payne has been a let down. We build a team round him and he doesn't produce hence why he gets dropped

    As for being top scorer that's not hard with the other let down in Doyle not scoring

    A fan can agree that the thinking behind replacing Wyke leaves a lot to be desired and at the same time not think that this means every other recruit since June 2016 has been a disaster

    Isn’t that a contradiction? You say he hasn’t changed, but you started by saying we had gone for experience over youth...!

    This is clearly proof that we HAVE learned from the past and are trying to put things right..?

    When push comes to shove, football is a team game, all the team have responsibility to defend and attack. If the defence had the odd mistake, then that is fair enough. However, our team has not defended well, and it comes from powder puff tackling in midfield whereby exposing the defence to countless attacks, if that happens there is only one outcome on the law of percentages. It is also the defenders responsibility to be involved in starting attacks, pumping it up to the striker who can’t hold the ball up, and there is only one thing that is going to happen the ball is coming back pdq.

    I have seen some gelling with this ream not much but just signs. If we continue to see this, we might scramble out of this mess.

    The club want us to concentrate on the team and not the board room politics, but difficult to do when we can all see the massive effect of poor management, abysmal recruitment, disgraceful pre season, non existent fitness coaching. What would help the fans get onside and focusing on the team is if Rahic clears his desk and leaves VP. He is part owner, and therefore not that easy, but if he is going then we need to know.

    Which post are you referring to when I said he hadn't changed? And who do you mean by 'he'?

    The post that I replied to....

    Annnnd after all that nonsense, we are going back to a men-not-boys philosophy.

    What a waste of time, thanks Edin you moron, here's to your inability to learn from the past or even current events“.

    I see.

    Well I didn't say Edin hadn't changed, but I don't think he has - I think the situation is beyond his control now, and he's on borrowed time - which explains our switch back to a men-not-boys philosophy. That's occurred very recently, with Caddis suddenly offered enough money to sign in order to appease fans.

    It's clear Edin's influence is being minimised - that's why more and more people are speaking out, and why things like the backroom staff is changing as well as the ideology around the playing staff.

    But if you're asking why I'm saying Edin didn't learn from past mistakes, it's simple - going back to a development squad mentality after the last train wreck under Christie/Jackson is just plain stupid. The lessons were there, from less than decade ago, and yet some idiot marches in with an arrogant idea it can work perfectly this time - only to see us performing far, far worse, even with a managerial switch.

    So I hope that explains why I feel Edin failed to learn from past mistakes (our mistakes, not his), and why the current switch BACK to a men-not-boys philosophy doesn't really play in his favour.

    Free agent less than 2 months ago.
    Made captain. That says it all.
    A proper full back. Still it’s a good job he missed the Luton left winger a few games back as he would have cut him in half and been banned!
