    Well what a rubbish honeymoon that was.

    Almost like getting the shits from unclean drinking water, having your passport stolen and then and catching your Mrs going down on the barman.

    Never go to Tunisia. Or marry a redhead.

    Take the season in ten game blocks. We don’t need to be so reactionary after a bad result or two. We’ve had quite a tough start and done well I think.

    see where we are after 10 games. If we have close 20 points that’s a very good start

    Interesting that @Rcbantam@Rcbantam only surfaces after a couple of defeats. Like a shark that smells blood from 2 miles away, he suddenly appears only to disappear as quickly when the results go back in our favour. One poor half in a friendly and one poor performance in the league and the usual suspects start to question the manager and the owner. I think we’re all pretty much uninspired by the Robinson signing but spending within our means is better than paying over the odds for a Bogle. The CEO set the budget and its Adams who decided how it’s spent. If he’s blown it early doors it hardly fair to blame the owner.

    Its the continual club bashing that has been going on for a few years now. Yes we’ve been poorly run, but Sparks and Adams are trying to turn things around. We’re deservedly at the right end of table and although the last week hasn’t been the best, I still think we’re better prepared than we have been for the last 3 or 4 years. Including the pre-season we’ve done pretty well so far. Another good result on Saturday and more importantly a good performance will hopefully get us back on track.

    What a load of wobblies on this thread. Early days lads and lasses.

    On the Theo Robinson signing - this seems a faily balanced view on the League Two forum from a Port Vale fan -
    "Glad Theo has gone a colossal waste of a wage and should never have been signed in the first place.

    He was only signed because we put all our eggs in the Maynard basket before last season, missed out on Jamile Matt who we’d agreed a deal with because we stalled on it for Maynard and ended up with Theo!

    Was poor in his first spell, but mostly terrible and lazy last season _ _ _

    That said all isn’t lost, he does have a decent record at some clubs but just wasn’t right for us and didn’t suit us. Fans are angry he stole a wages with the kids but don’t blame him for that as you wouldn’t leave without a new job and not get paid."

    Noticed also that a Scunny fan said despite his nightmare at PV he rated him as a decent striker at this level.

    Anyway, I will reserve my opinion until he plays a few games and on Adams until Christmas or thereabouts.

    Indeed, the only one that really matters. I'm amazed at the negativity on here having not looked since before last weekend. Ten points from five matches over the season will bring automatic promotion. The win at Mansfield was an outstanding result, the defeat at Brisbane Road a disappointing one. I'm very optimistic that with Derek Adams in charge you're going up in 2022.

    Hmm.

    The manger and the coaching staff and the chief scout.. hanging by a thread already. Oh dear ladies and gents.

    But we don't have the budget, we never do. Adams own words.

    The veneer of Sparks PR spin wearing thin, You have to back up all the optimism and words with deeds or the fans will see through it, They will not forgive you twice if conning us with talk of success Ryan

    You can only go through so many managers, some with 3, 4 promotions on their CV, multiple CEO’s before you have to look higher up.

    Spot on Bogle could have been another McLean, yet Robinson knows he is in the last chance saloon and who better to get something out of that kind of player than Adams ? Lets wait and see what transpires. He could be an inspired signing and one thing I am absolutely 100% sure of is Derek Adams would never sigh a player he doesnt want. He might be 3rd or 4th choice but he will have been on his list rather than a last minute panic buy.

    Serious question RCB. What hints has the manager made that all is not well?

    Otherwise known as bog standard league 2 football…

    As others have said in the past then type of games are meat and drink at this level, just need to be more clinical and stop conceding sloppy goals.

    This is going to be fun and games ain't it. We have ripped up our recruitment plan for Derek and there is a good chance he won't make Christmas now.

    Absolute merry go round of a club

    It's amazing HOW THIS CLUB MANAGE TO SIGN CRAP PLAYERS every bloody season. Heads need to roll. Awful.

    Those running the running the club get a free pass just because they're not footballers. Well that needs to stop too.
