    @Park bantam@Park bantam clearly doesn't go to games.

    If anyone is happy with our football then for me they're on a wind up and can't be take seriously.

    You won't get an answer, it's standard park.

    He spouts mainly nonsense and when he's called out on something that's factually wrong or he can't answer just packs up and stops responding.

    Swindon signed Hallam Hope today from Carlisle. Maybe they won't be making a bid to get Doyle back afterall.

    probably depends if they get Yates back or not, can not see them wanting both back and Hope

    Park finds positives in everything.
    If Filey had a tsunami he'd say I don't know why people are moaning at least we've had the windows washed.

    Fair question people are booing and venting their frustrations and quite rightly so
    Some are saying they don't care if the football is dire so long as we get promotion which is far from guaranteed Some even say after the ER debacle we should be happy where we are I could agree if we had a poor squad we haven't we have by far the best 2 strikers in the league
    Look at the big picture and fans of the future coming to watch us for the first time seeing our performance will not return we are within easy reach of higher league clubs playing attractive atacking football
    At this rate we may well be a L1 club with lower crowds than we had in L2
    We have the players to tear this league apart and attract the fans just not the manager strange to say the least

    We don’t have the players to tear the league apart apart from two or three good strikers one who is injured we have a team of average league two players. We started the summer with one of the worst Squads in our history and if we get up either automatically or the play offs it will be a good achievement

    It's your opinion whether we have the players to tear this league apart or not
    As you have seen we are more than capable of it any other manager in this league would snap your hand off for it there are no stand out teams just less poor teams this is our best chance to get promoted but we won't if the players are being held back
    We are under performing whichever way you look at it and it's not the players at fault they are looking increasingly frustrated/dejected after every game
    After last season and without seeing the standard in L2 I would have agreed that it would be a good achievement but our potential is being wasted that's the annoying part which could prove very costly in every way

    I might agree we badly underachieved at Crawley where we should have done better and again against Scunthorpe a rare home slip up. Other than that we have being playing to more than our potential

    Really
    If you are saying that performances at Carlisle and home to Morecambe to name but two are us playing to more than our potential then promotion is totally out of the question
    Even the most blinkered of fans would see that

    You think these teams just turn up to make the numbers up look at other top teams dropping points.at homev Nobody has done better than us and these expansive teams have a scoring home record similar to ours. Slightly improve our away record and we will be there

    Didn't comment on the Morecambe and Carlisle matches ??
    You mention other teams turning up to make the numbers up check the results of our rivals against them
    So far Morecambe have conceded against
    Exeter 3 1game to go
    Swindon 3 1 game to go
    Northampton 6 played twice
    Plymouth 3 1 game to go
    Crewe 5 1 game to go
    Similar Carlisle
    Exeter 3 1 game to go
    Swindon 3 1 game to go
    Northampton 2 1 game to go
    Plymouth 5 played twice
    Crewe 8 played twice
    We should aspire to at least match our rivals not flukes 83rd minute winners

    Having just listened to the Bowyer press conference on I -Follow where he was asked a direct question regarding Doyle and Swindon, I now believe he will go back to them once a financial package has been agreed.

    Was always going to happen EB
    Doyle is not happy here and an embarrassment to GB as he has no idea how to play him
    Best thing all round

    Why what did he say?

    Don't think he will myself. Certainly not on loan.

    Swindon have lost 40 goals and struggled since Doyle left. We would be mad to loan him back to to Swindon and certainly no Yates has gone back.

    There is a lot of money tied up in Doyle we have a good striker in Vaughan the money saved plus any fees would help to strengthen us in other areas like competition for Donaldson

    Is this what he said or this your opinion?

    If we wanted competition for Donaldson then we would of brought it in the summer. We knew Donaldson is in the latter years of his football career and hardly scores goals. He can't be counted upon.

    Vaughan is a card waiting to happen and again can't be counted on.

    Strengthen in other areas? What like midfield? Taylor recently extended his contract.

    Nah for me Doyle stays! He's needed.

    Doyle is needed IF he is played correctly and we play to his strengths
    Wont happen so best to get him off the wage bill he has no value at the end of the season
