If it was a genuinely inspiring positive results I’d say the crowds are great but it’s impacting the players. Home form shows this. Cheap strategy is there for one thing and one thing only mitigate Rupp putting more in. What we charge now and the numbers we get unfortunately get us what we have a few good players and the rest utter shite. That cycle will continue until someone comes in and invests in a proper plan. At the mo it’s cheap tickets high attendances, which budget wise equates to small scatters of quality but not enough and fans on the players back with the inevitable poor home record.

 

Have you been to their place. Went with City a couple of times. I have never ever seen a ground like it. It’s like a rabbit Warren . A new ground in it’s entirety is needed just to double it’s capacity to about the same asVP.

 

Yes fully agree. They can’t do both.

 

On that squad showing! Bang on.

 

Very true

 

A good read here

Let's see. The division definitely looks tougher with Wrexham & Notts County coming up, MK Dons coming down.

 

You may well be right. There's just no benefit to Sparks saying that at a time where he is negotiating with players/agents.

 

Going by the interview it looks like we will be bringing in two or three then hopefully some good loans

I'm in this exact spot, too.

I really do think we can grab a top two spot next season.

I can't overstate how badly it affects clubs that just keep chopping and changing everything about the club every time something doesn't work out exactly right. Yes, some clubs will randomly 'get lucky' with an appointment and make dramatic improvements over night, but let's see what happens to those clubs going forward.

Having a blueprint - a plan - a style - that's the future for this club, and I hope we're playing a modern style of football ad infinitum. People will get used to not clogging the ball aimlessly forward all the time.

 

Where is this pure quality to be found in league 2, and for pennys, don't want more sub standard loans, who are not good enough for the first team.
