Sorry Forza i red crossed you for being a helmet.  Did u not witness the end of the season be positive man 🙄


You mean the part where we barely scraped survival from a relegation dogfight? Lincoln had a successful season and we didn't. For a group of fans who supposively don't care about Lincoln you sure get butt hurt when reminded of them having a successful season in League Two while we struggled. It's time to stop putting glitter on dog excrement and admit it was bad even if MJ becoming manager meant we were able to survive there is a lot of work to do this coming season if we are to avoid that situation happening again. We need to establish ourselves as a League Two team while Lincoln already have.

Of course it was a terrible season im not as deluded as the gimps.  But im also aware what MJ did as well especially when his predecessor couldn't manage a pish up in a brewery lol.  The comment was meant to be tongue in cheek but i didn't add sny smileys so it looked rather aggressive post.

Sorrg Forza it was meant to been a nice post 😁

no worries meza. i saw lincoln, cov, wycombe, swindon and fgr under jolley. the vast majority of the improvement was down to hard work, fitness and organisation rather then any inherent flair. FGR was good but was a meaningless match.
from this, and because we haven't got anyone who can score goals i think upper mid table is the realistic aim at present

Your right mate he started with the basics and i hazard a guess any new manager should do the same  when they first come in.   But for me playoffs will be great and you might be righr with mid table.   After all we dont have alot of goals in the team atm.  Maybe Robles might be like that coventry player marc mcnulty.

if robles can't score goals in the tercera division, think its most unlikely he's going to get many in a division that is 3 or 4 steps higher

I reckon once Cardwell gets one that goes in off his bottom, knee, ear, wherever then he could be a capable goalscorer.  He just needs that one to go in and give him a boost.

Could be horses for courses though. I well remember Manchester United buying Gary Birtles for an eye watering fee (then) of £1,500,000 and he couldn't score at all for them - think it was about a year before he got his first goal if I remember rightly. Did the biz before and after United though, and didn't do too abdly at BP come the twilight of his career? Oh for another signing like that....


No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

It's such a competitive market to get players in and expensive a lot of fans think we should be able to sign Stockley from Exeter.

They would want £750k then its wages ,signing on fee we just can't afford that, think fans need to lower their expectations.

Hi Helgy, good to see you posting occasionally!

Your post sums up some of the problems, in that fans expect clubs to pay stupid fees and wages for 4th tier players.
Clubs cave in to players/agents demands but if they dont they get left behind.
It is such a gamble to try and build a team with locals and rough diamonds because although it is more likely to be within a sustainable budget it is also most likely to exclude you from a genuine promotion challenge, initially at least.

Clubs need to  include fans in a long term plan as opposed to using new found riches to justventice the better players
