So only promotion will change your view?  I’m all for setting the bar high but would a top 7 finish be be unacceptable to you then?

I want us to do as well as we can. I have set no targets for the season, I just want to go and watch some exciting football payed by players I recognize. We will never know if the current squad are really any better than some of the players they replaced as there are too many variables. The fact that some of the released players haven't found clubs is no guide to their ability really, more a reflection of the unexpected requirement to find another club at short notice. Despite the stats saying the new players are better, how do we know if one of them is going to fancy another ones wife and have a punch up in the car park? There is more to a successful team than just picking the best players based on stats. That is why I think evolution rather than revolution is the way to go. Although football is all about the results, the paying customer has his/her own demands and will only pay if they are met.

When we are scoring goals like those at Scunthorpe and Swindon and beating teams we haven't beaten away in donkeys years, I just fail to understand how anyone can be negative at the moment.

We are dismantling teams and we look very solid. The team is united. The owners have made clear improvements and I am sure this is just the beginning.

Even Carl had to admit that things are looking pretty good. Q.E.D.

Does anyone actually recognise league 2 players ? 

I'm baffled by that analogy .

As for short notice for ex squad players, they were all released very immediately in May. They and their agents had plenty of time to stoke a few fires . 

I can't believe I've risen to the bait. I need to stop. 

An unbelievable post

It's too easy to be negative.

If we say play-offs is a minimum requirement for a successful season, then the odds are 7 in 24. It favours the negative "told you so" approach. We have had too much negativity around the club for far too long. I'm enjoying what I am seeing and long may it continue. For once, there is a light at the end of what has been a very long dark tunnel. 

Look again at DC's last post match interview. He tells the interviewer to keep his feet on the ground because there are sure to be some road bumps along the way. That is the kind of management I like.

He's been banging on about how fans need to 'recognise' our squad since the retained list was announced. I do think that he's in a minority of 1 fortunately. As much as he livens up this forum now and again, he can't half talk some tripe at times

Someone that willing to throw that much negative energy and go so far out of his way to bring negativity to everything the manager has done isn’t going to change his mind.

Its nothing to do with not recognising players.

Its about stubbornly backing his mate Askey and now not being able to back down.

Add on top the enjoyment received from winding people up on here and it’s just become a very dull, silly looking parody which for some reason get way too much airtime and attention.

Same bucket as Carl on Praise and Grumble for me… Ignore where possible, shake head and laugh at if unavoidable, then quickly move on to watching the highlights again!

UTV and up the Pruhcess!!

I think the league table is usually a pretty good indicator of one years squad being better than another? Isn't that usually how it works? I've never heard of it being based on if one players wife fancies cheating on their hubby with another player 🤣

You are quite a way off the mark but you are entitled to your opinion.

Things continue to look a bit tricky for Adams at Bradford.

Stated that some of his players are not good enough… and the power of deduction indicates Theo is one of them.

The Venn diagram of people who desperately wanted Adams and don’t like the way DC spoke about some of his players has a very strange bunch sat in the bit that crosses over.

Nowt as queer as folk.

The manager, I am sure he is a fine individual, just not convinced that his methods will provide the required long term results. 

What methods are those me owd fruit? Replacing the dead wood....you know the ones,those who downed tools(when fans were paying hard earned money to watch) when your mate was in charge and replacing them with better players?? 

Plenty of players have good things to say about his man management including a player from a Premier League set up

A reflection of the unexpected requirement to find another club at short notice......you mean after being told a few days after the final game of last season.....wow very short notice,now i know you are on a wind up....... I will say this those unable to find clubs will be because no club wants them,i see all those who left have gone on to better things errmmmm surely have they?
