    That’s not exactly quite true. You don’t play Tikka Takka as that involves a higher quality player who commands a higher fee and wage. Therefore tikka takka doesn’t work as ordinarily you can’t afford the players to do it properly. Doesn’t mean it’s not the place to play it. Other styles of play can be far more effective with a cheaper player. Look at those teams who have tried to change their playing style and how successful they’ve then been. Stoke, West Brom etc. Takes time. However you can be aggressive and up and at them and still play tikka takka. They aren’t mutually exclusive. You are ultimately right though. We won’t have the budget to play tikka takka

    Wright & O'Connor warming up, I certainly missed that mate.
    You still have to question why the likes of Wright, Riley, Patrick cant even make the bench before a young kid like Maltby ?.

    With a lot of teams already in the early 40s points wise I'm afraid for us to stay up we will require about 52/53 to stay up.

    Maybe, maybe not ?

    Let's not forget that it was COLLINS who didn't panic in the final week of the Summer window, when it was clear to see there were still gaping holes in the squad !
    Nor should we forget that it was COLLINS who totally fecked up pre season training, if you can call it that.

    Just talking to my Oxford mate. Could not understand why our best midfielder (Payne) was on the bench? I heard he was sick?

    How much is Rupp worth again?

    He is willing to cover the debt? Which is super! However, an extra £500k -1m isn't going to matter to keep us up is it?

    You blame Edin! I think he's 90% to blame but it's 2019 and you're saying 1 man can take down a football club. Think you need to look at yourself and the non part you played. Not to worry though you have a cheap season ticket to buy next season if you wish.

    I am looking at myself and know I should of done more.

    One man comes along manages to kid Rupp, Rhodes, Lawn, the board, the media and the fans.

    Yeah it's all Edin's fault we are in this mess! Do me a favour!

    We could 'try' our luck by placing them ALL on available for transfer, come the end of season. There must (gulp) be some other mugs who will be suckered, as we were ? ;)

    Will history repeat itself?
    Bowyer is appointed for next season, fails in Div 2 and we end up in danger of going out of business, Rhodes stays on to help the club, Parkinson is sacked at Bolton and is out of work, Rhodes still in contact with his mate Parky and is offered the job of saving us and history repeats itself!!
    Unlikely but just a thought.

    If we play that team and win. Does he have to play that side and tactic every game until the end of time?

    Otherwise you will come on here and he will be deemed to be “messing with a winning side” and the rest. And called clueless

    Did you contribute to the flyover? No you were still behind Rahic and defended him all along despite what everyone else was saying about the club....
