A lot of work to be done there, a hell of a lot of work

 

I'm still not sure what happened last season.

It's too simplistic to call them bottlers, because their form didn't just dip, it absolutely imploded.

There has to be a cause for that, and it's not just a bad performance and loss at Yeovil in the cup.

Perhaps we'll have to wait for an autobiography before we really find out the truth.

 

There’s at least another 6 incoming fret not shrews we’re favourites to go down last year, marquee signings never work for us we need to build and that’s what they are doing let’s give them chance ffs

here’s a novel idea let’s support the team

 

Agreed, hence the pessimism.

IF we can bring in 2 or 3 real quality pros then I might change my mind but at present I don't believe we're anywhere near even being competitive.

 

The clubs formula is fatally flawed, You can either keep your best players and seek success or you can bring them along and sell them weakening the team and staying a lower division development club, The owners should be honest and declare which.

 

I reckon forgotten man Jones still has a part to play, his goal to game ratio isn’t bad at all.

 

Interested why no one has Chicksen in their starting 11. I assumed Wood was gonna be back up for him, do people think he's going to be first choice?

 

Chicksen has shown nothing to warrant a starting spot, so I'm not sure why Wood has to dislodge him. Both of them have a lot to prove so whoever looks the brightest in preseason gets the nod for me.

 

I'll be quite honest, like many I think your football nous is quite shite, I'm not really arsed whatever you say about my thoughts because the day you agree with me I'd have to seriously question myself.

 

When all said and done Fordy, you may be right about our squad being shite. But let’s face it, none of us can say that with certainty just yet.

There are far too many unknowns in the squad, players that may be poor or they may prove to be astute signings.

So no, at this point (just as I disagree with the happy clappers), you can’t call the squad shite until we have actually seen them play

 

How are we falling apart. Our owners have introduced a new model to rebuild and sustain a club whose business plan relied totally and utterly on having cup runs every two years.

Falling apart would be where we were under lawn and Rhodes with no cup income in year three.

 

Very much so. Although no longer 'damaging' to our finances ......... any potential 'lost revenue' will be missed. But that's business in any format.

 

I agree, there has to be a correlation between money spent and success or else no would do it. Everyone would just pick up cheap cast offs from that no other club wants.

 

It's only you that's unbalanced.

 

To be fair, Sean Scannell would look out of place between Donny Osmond and David Cassidy

 

yep we are fecked

 

They need to be 6 proven quality players though. We have enough "potential" now and what the young lads need is genuine experience to play alongside and learn from.

Players 24 and upwards who've played a decent number of senior games who can come in and not require time to find their feet.
