Marcus was Gunning`s female dog!
Didn't RS play Gunning in his first two games in charge?

For me it is a little frustrating seeing lots of clubs bringing in good talent already, but there is still a long way to go yet. I'm confident Slade is a better man for the job than the previous two in charge. Whether that's promotion or just a top half finish we'll have to wait and see.

Or you could have just been told today you have been made redundant just like me.
Be positive and for what it's worth the signings so far are fine with me as I'm sure more pace and power is on its way.
GTFC is keeping me positive .
Sorry to hear that mate. Hope you get sorted soon.

Lincoln seem to be really playing the waiting game, could backfire on them.

I am normally a glass half full person, but at the moment I just cannot get myself into a positive frame of mind about the coming season. I am not seeing "guaranteed" top end of the league players on the books. A lot with potential and 2 or 3 seasoned pros.Some contracted players who did not do it for us last season. I am struggling to see a style of play or formation forming despite having plenty of "bodies in the building". I see a lot of experimenting again, no stability which is likely to lead to inconsistency.I am as keen as anyone for Slade to succeed but I don't see it at present and am a bit underwhelmed with the players we now have, Don't worry I am not suicidal but could do with a dose of optimism. All help will be appreciated.
Think you're fretting over nothing Oldun. 1) I don't think there are any players that are "guaranteed top end of the league". 2) of course we're not seeing a formation or style of play forming yet, we haven't played any games yet and are still building the squad. Think we just need a bit of patience and belief that just because we aren't signing players from the Premier League, we could still be in with a chance for promotion. Time will tell. But let's not get too wound up about what we've got when pre season doesn't even start for another few weeks yet.

My old man knows Bob Dorrian and got chatting to him the other week and they are only looking to add a couple of players to the squad. Dangerous strategy, for every Bristol Rovers that add a couple of players and achieve back to back promotions there is a Cheltenham.

I must say, they had a couple of good players but players such as Rhead, Waterfall and Nath have been in the league before and not been up to it. I thought they'd need some serious rebuilding. Woodyard, Raggett, Habergham might be able to do it though as they are untested at that level.

Fans have to realise that the joy of being back in the league brings delays with changes in contracts as league player contracts last for an extra month. This delays the activity process as you don't pay players until old contracts run out. There will be negotiations going on behind the scenes that won't be public until July 1st !! Slade may not be Mr Popular with older fans but he is no idiot from previous jobs at higher levels and he has a promotion owed to many loyal fans which could be the only way to win back his doubters !
Good luck to him - need to see some better times after a stutter season.

Extra 2 months i think. As for Lincoln, i think their players showed they could hold their own against better opposition in that FA Cup run. Whether they can do it over 46 games is another matter.
