Enjoy Tuesday night.

Problem is someone thinks he is clever. They eventually catch themselves out – remember that season when we were cruising at the top of div 1 playing the football that suited us, that people enjoyed. Then the formation changes arrived 352, 2341,2332 and all the other delights that ‘cleverness’ delivered.
And we know what happened at the end, I fear those days are back. Hope I am wrong.

I think the problem some non Bruers have is they consider Bru to be a band of brothers who speak with one voice, hence “that lot”. If they had a read they would see the diversity of opinion, it would be bloody boring if we thought as one.
Well said.

Getting very tight at the top.

Always give benefit of doubt until proved otherwise.
Stubborn and arrogant to supporters and this latest Gateshead excuse matches others. Tell the fans what you are going to do then they can decide if they want to save hard earned money. Keep treating them this way and the gates will fall and revenues drop.
So he made 6 changes, the issue was yet again a slow start and how many times has that been said. But usual attitude “we have only lost …..” . The instruction should be get out there and make things happen – fans said they could tell instantly they were not bothered ! Our Physio would never allow that to happen.
But now he has an extended contract !

Very sad to hear this. Loved his club and his commentaries were from the heart. My wife listened to the Orient one, I was of course in Wembley,. She said it was fantastic and said Shep got very emotional at what HIS club had achieved.
Knew Shep for many years and he was a gentleman. Set up his own licensed trade business and despite all the work when you work for yourself he stayed loyal to his club. When he called it a day and retired a little of the passion went out the commentary.
God Bless Tony. RIP.

The only time I have found IRON BRU argumentative is when someone tried to shut down the Forum to prevent Supporters fighting to save their club.
BRU stood firm when threatened on more than one occasion with legal action. All that was wanted was when people commented to watch the wording of their comments and that they had the facts to back up their statements. It made no difference which group they aligned with – they defended both equally.

Comments read as though someone is over elaborating by thinking too much !
Did the same last season, sometimes the supporters are right.

Check out Kieran Maguire pages regarding balance sheets. They are sobering to say the least.
Revenue has to raised to be able to make recruitment a little easier. Gain promotion to the EFL this season and the club will get a cash boost. But up to then whatever it takes – sponsoring a bit of the pitch I cannot see an issue if some want to do it and for those who don’t then they have their choice.
As yet no Euro Lottery Jackpot winner has knocked on the door so until then we do whatever it takes.

We seem to be slipping back into old ways regards information for the fans.
Not the way to go.

Horton and Denton are both good enough to compete at LB. A fully fit rose, Starbuck are good enough for RB. Evans and Jb good enough for CB, but will still need one or two more.
Boyce is passed it and Barrows is nowhere near good enough. Dire need of a keeper. Jones is in a similar bracket to Mahady, but with inferior distribution. Incredible shot topper, but looks unsure on claiming high balls and not too good at commanding his box.
If we get a good, solid keeper and a CB or two…we should be ok at the back.
I think 2 young and mobile CB’s are a must based on all the comments you read and hopefully as a defensive unit because when you watch the goals conceded several times some seem to lose track of ‘their’ man.
As regard Jones in goal it becomes a trait after our coaching, we make line sitters allowed little movement from that line !
Yes they have done amazing but our budget is not the biggest and some offered new contracts may move on due to our limits. And you can understand that. Should the club be fortunate to gain promotion they will obviously gain a bigger solidarity payment but will it be enough.
Certainly many talking points ahead.

If it helps then why not ?
Do not understand the resentment. Remember they are still reducing the outstanding debt and also a budget that has us in the play-offs.
When that ‘Lottery’ winner steps forward to clear the nightmare and officially resets the club with a plus balance anything has to be considered.
