Excuse me this board does not appreciate any ounce of praise to John Fenty, even if he did always manage to secure a decent forward


And lose a bloody good one for the sake of a few quid a week.

And then there was the Jevons saga..and numerous others who were treat disgustingly bad.

But hey.. don’t let the facts spoil your truth eh..

Instantly provable nonsense by looking at the forward options we had in 09/10 then again in 20/21.

Probably because we are less than 3 weeks away, have failed to signal any attacking intent with signings and anybody that joins between now and then will either a) Need to get Match fit and up to speed or c) have missed an entire pre-season with their new team mates. Possibly to see us struggling for the first 6-8 weeks.

I’m not convinced DA has it in him to persuade many to come to town. I 100% hope he proves me wrong but my gut instinct suggests otherwise!


You never have anything positive to say!

Yoda you need to stop living in the past, the JF years were terrible, he gave our club a really bad image (poor wages etc) and the new owners are trying to re-build our image as well as improvements to BP.  JF was a cheap skate so yeah, at the moment things are looking much brighter.


Not sure how things can be looking "much brighter" when you consider where we finished last season and where we nearly ended up.

A couple of months in or likely less will give us an idea. Personally I'm worried that we won't be that much better and it will be another season of struggle as DA forces his style of football.

Who can tell where we are in truth a few quality signings may make a huge difference as we do look somewhat light.

I do wonder though are we back to the Brian Laws rough diamonds policy as considering marquee  signings from the Irish and Icelandic leagues would have left me cold in the past.They could be stand outs or equally another Seb Ring.

I'm not like you Array, Its a new season and last year was last year, we can only look at that as a warning to do better, yes we need some more players, but all this negativity is not doing anyone any good really.  We need to be patient, as soon as we start building up negativity its very difficult to stop, then gets compounded by a couple of bad results against teams that we may be expected to beat.  Lets see how we do against the next team, hopefully Danny Rose will be back as he has been training with and without the ball and looks in good shape.

I would like us to sign an attacking midfielder and Pacey Striker but we might not be 3rd choice with some players, like Charlie Kirk, for all we know we could be his last priority if he is unable to get a move to a higher team.
