You don't see things as they are because of the blinkers* you wear! Put 2 and 2 together and get anything but 4. Rumours become facts, and "facts" from the other village idiots become set in stone - even if you're shown different. Do me a favour!!! *yes - I'm aware that, as a Happy Clapper, I can sometimes wear rose-coloured glasses...but it's way better than being a miserable POS every bloody day!

She brought DF in because she wasn't confident at running the club...only in running the business side.

How do you know so much about our budget and players' wages??? - or, is it just BS you've guessed at?

I don't think we will get relegated, that's for sure...no matter where we are now. I feel we can compete against most clubs of our size in this League...but injuries haven't helped, all season - Uche even getting injured during the transfer window; nor have the various postponements we've had. And losing Ollie and Alfie when they were supposed to be here all season! It's all disruptive and no wonder we've struggled! Your reply makes more sense than the "spending our money badly" one I first replied to!

I know how to read. Things like the fan zone can't be taking precedence over players because they're from different budgets! If "pointless" things bring in extra money for the club, then they're not pointless - are they? And we're not losing every week - yes, we lost on Saturday...after 16 mins of football in 3 weeks and playing the top side who, maybe, were in poor form, but they're still top for a reason...and us having lost 2 of our best players! And we lost to a penalty that never was, 6 minutes from time.

Good points IC! The village idiots on here don't think things through!

Why? There won't be more clubs of this kind of size, or spending power? - just different ones!

...and here is the clown!

Oh no??? EFL club gets fined for spending too much on players, under FFP regulations? Who knew???

Does any of that affect what happens on the pitch? Or, might it help to bring a little more money into the Club?

Correct: "You can stop wearing the sling after a few days, but it takes about 12 to 16 weeks to completely recover from a dislocated shoulder. You'll usually be able to resume most activities within two weeks. You should avoid heavy lifting and sports involving shoulder movements for between six weeks and three months."

It's still opinion-based, Brian. And some of these pundits don't seem to realize that diving is cheating...in their opinions? Nor that wrestling someone to the ground, or dragging them down by their shirts have no place in football - but they do in wrestling / rugby? And - like I asked earlier - did Middlesbrough break with their usual style of play, just for this one-off game...or did those individual errors contribute their usual, inconsistent game - which has seen them comfortably in mid-table, winning and losing the same amount of games

I just meant it wouldn't make the League any more difficult - just the same as it's been since we got back in it!

If you don't know what we're spending, or where, then you're not qualified to make that statement! In any squad there will be less successful signings. But - are you just blaming those who don't score, or don't create chances? Or also blaming those who are injured and can't contribute to the team, so are not justifying their wages either?

I was likening us to Ipswich, and the games when we've had dozens of shots and not scored - whilst the opposition has scored with each shot they've had! Wish we could be that cynical!

speaking 🤪

He'll be loving the chance to get minutes in a game, and knows he'll be a hero if he scores...no need to feel sorry for him!

How much are we spending badly?

There are only a couple of halfwits who continue this narrative!

Not much different to Bolton and Derby, who they will likely replace?

Yes - but it's easier to criticise the Vale, than give them any credit for trying something different!

Fairly ironic you made that statement - one of the best teams in our League, last season, and doing ok in the Championship! They ended this game having had more than 30 shots - Maidstone had 2...sound familiar?

No - because he's already played for 2 clubs this season!!!!!!

Yes...but they made too many individual errors. They would have lost whichever style they tried to play, making that many mistakes! Incidentally - did they change their playing style for that game only? Or, had the way they've played all season been let down by those individual errors?

...about...as welcome as chlamydia!
