I don’t think I’m likely to live long enough to see it – and for my age I’m not in bad nick.
Only a takeover – and by a decent consortium – can possibly turn our fortunes around.2 users thanked author for this post.
I don’t want any loan players in who haven’t got at least 40 or 50 league games under their belts. Young loanees to make up the numbers is not the way to go.
Bringing in the untried and untested to lift a team with our problems is crazy!
We’ve done it year after year and is one – amongst many – reasons why we are where we are today.
League Two plodders are preferable to the inexperienced ‘with great potential’.4 users thanked author for this post.
Sorry , Mick – I don’t understand the title.

Pleased with both signings but we’re still a good half dozen short.
The worry, of course, is that we’ll be forced to settle for half a dozen fill-ins.3 users thanked author for this post.
It’s hardly ‘threatening behaviour’.
Very hard done to.
Thanks for that Fe.2 users thanked author for this post.
It is a very good point, Pat, our movement off the ball has been wretched for a very long time.
This is one area where KH has a reputation for producing real quality in his sides.
Unless the horrendous Iron setup really has cooked his goose once and for all – I do anticipate a mega improvement in this part of our play, provided of course, we have adequate quality to be able to adjust to this division.5 users thanked author for this post.
So much depends on how often we attack; how quickly the ball goes forward; how many times the ball goes into opposition box and what quality of ball is delivered.
Last season only Feeney made any contribution at all to that sort of play. The others seemed only capable of lumping it forward.
You are right, of course, Renee about the brace of forwards needed.
I wonder where they will come from?1 user thanked author for this post.
Ohh, bottoms!
I meant O’Hara, of course.1 user thanked author for this post.
“Powers-that-be sticking to incredibly destructive actions” would take rather longer, Cass.

Well. Fans making allegedly ‘destructive’ comments: powers-that-be sticking to incredibly destructive actions?

Stats need proper interpretation and a balanced overview.
(We have all heard the expression ‘lies, damned lies and statistics.’)
I am surrounded by family and friends who are statisticians.
If prevailing circumstances are not taken into account – stats are without any value.
If the England test selectors get a new coach, can he be judged on results?
Yes, of course.
BUT what if, he is told that he is not allowed to have any players in his squad with previous test experience?
What then is the inevitable outcome? – A 100% defeat record.
Do we then blame the hapless coach? (Many SUFC supporters would naturally say, “Of course!”)
OR do we wait to see what he can/cannot do when not under impossible restraints.
KH will surely have a below par squad – but one which may not be as bad as that of last season.
Under those constraints, a reasonable target is perhaps required. After all, we shall be in an allegedly weaker division.
My suggestion is that if we are anywhere above – say 8th from bottom – in early October, he will have proved himself.2 users thanked author for this post.
We were told by LT that not all will be signed – two or three, apparently.
But, all the same, thank you for attempting a logical argument.1 user thanked author for this post.
I assume typo or Freudian slip, NI, you put an ‘m’ on the front of the penultimate word.

How many times do we need the restaurant analogy or similar, I wonder?
You know a great restaurant – you pay your money and are served with great food.
One day you are served poor food – as a person of generous spirit – you write that off and give it one more try.
It may be the end of for you and the restaurant – or, perhaps, a new beginning.Over the last four years, Iron fans have been served with food fit for cockroaches six or seven DOZEN times. (And that’s in home games alone!)
Frankly, how any fans remain is astonishing. It shows incredible dedication and loyalty on their part.4 users thanked author for this post.
Yes. There does seem to be more than a hint of irony.

That really puzzles me.
