With a good coach seemingly having a big say in signings for areas that everyone’s been saying need urgent attention, plus the never say die attitude on Tuesday, it’s the most optimistic I’ve felt for a few years. But we shall see… might phone the doctor…

As above

It could make the difference. There may also be the argument that these players wouldn’t have come if it hadn’t been for Hill being here?

[Deereyme66]

Matheson too. I think he could push on in the next few weeks. Looked on it and hungry last game. Not sure defensively yet but certainly a skilfull attacking threat.

[Deereyme66]

Hopefully the hope won’t kill us.

I know a few youngish people suffering bad with long Covid. They’re fit people normally but certainly don’t have the rigours of pro footy. Must be tough. Newcastle’s keeper Darlow struggled with it I believe.

I thought Mattheson made some good moves, particularly in the first half

[Deereyme66]

It’s a vicious circle, unless recruitment improves. Looks like he’s not prepared to overspend, but if the players aren’t good enough, gates are more likely to decrease. It’s obvious to everyone else what needs to be addressed.

I’d give Burns 8-9, particularly for his second goal

On the positive side, Sinclair seemed to make a difference and Burns took his goals well.

Tom Newey may aswell say ‘recruitment, recruitment, recruitment’.

Half time report: feel sorry for Rory.

[Deereyme66]

If that was an exam question our pens wouldn’t leave the paper!

[Deereyme66]

Will do. Thanks I-A. I know, spring chicken, me!

[Deereyme66]

Definitely one for over 55s! What areyou all on about?

A player driven out by fans? I thought we had the only fans that behaved that way.

🤣🤣

[Deereyme66]

Sounds interesting. Why’s he Bkackpool’s ‘forgotten man’? Surplus to requirements or frozen out?

[Deereyme66]

If he scores a few goals it’ll be Minto.

‘We’ve had good seasons, we’ve had shit seasons, deal with it instead of crying like a baby.’

Bit more to it than that UTI99 but I don’t think you should ‘piss off’ as WG says. In the spirit of us all wanting what’s best for the club can we stop the slanging matches? I know I’m as guilty as anyone else on here for doing that before anyone points the finger.

Are you on a mission to try and get Matt to throw the towel in and close this forum down too Alcy? Another defeat, further in to relegation quagmire and this is your response? Another deliberately provocative post designed to wind people up? How is this helpful to anyone?

So you think the signing of Goode and the abuse he got should be swept under the carpet because it doesn’t fit your narrative? The club could have profited greatly if fans had gave the lad a chance.

Not saying it should be swept under the carpet. But the clubs problems run far deeper than a few players getting some stick.

Not the ‘hounded out’ whataboutery again! Even if there’s some truth I in that, it’s only part of the story

If nothing’s changed before the window closes, how can he expect supporter dedication?

Unfortunately, due to poor signings, spending SOME money before the deadline seems to be the only option.

Well, that’s a shortsighted approach if you ask me UTI99. It would be sensible to try and find and sign players who have the potential to be sold on at profit a bit more than has been happening in recent years. Is that in the business strategy?

I was thinking more along the lines of healthy supporter, and other stakeholder, engagement and relationship building, resulting in increased attendences and therefore increased revenue which can then be used to build a better team which more and more people want to watch. Or is that a crazy idea?
