There are some very positive vibes coming out of the mouths of most fans and the management of our club,
We all want the same thing success for our club and Michael Jolley has shown that apart from being a good manager and getting the best out of the players he has also shown that us the fans are appreciated .
The start of the season is nearly here and we anticipate it will be a good one and what more could we ask for than to start our home games with FGR ( a win we hope ) then Lincoln in front of a full house ( we hope )
Lets try and forget last season with all the fall outs and bickering and stand as one and support what we all love GTFC,
Forget the statements from the board and the constand arguments about PR, things have changed so I for one will not call my mate Fenty or Mr shut up ever again we are all going on a journey that will end up who knows where but I bet you we are all going to enjoy it.
So thank John Fenty for employing Michael lets hope he stays a while , I am sure when he leaves for bigger things we will all be in a better place than we were before he was appointed.

Not much of a challenge that Pete, I hope he has set his sights a little higher than that

Just got my ticket for Saturday and am going with an open mind and no expectations. It will be the first time i have seen any of the new lads and i'm just hoping it's a good advert for football, and we win of course... Going in the Main Stand for a change, with all the other moaning old giffers.

will be a whole new experience for all by and large, i cant recall entering a season with a GTFC side set up as a 3-5-2 in all my years of watching...used for the odd game here or there but never as a basic formation.

Only time I remember us using it more than an odd occasion was Buckley in the season he got us to Wembley in 2008.

I seem to remember Brian Laws using wing-backs, but I can't remember how long we used it for or which season. Lennie Lawrence tried it for a few games but gave it up as a lost cause and I remember us playing a week day game against Nuneaton at home a few seasons back with three centre-backs and Paul Hurst gave up on it.

To be constantly successful then the 3-5-2 system requires three ( or as an absolute minimum 2) ball playing and very mobile centre backs. Very few clubs in the lower divisions manage to acquire a group of these and consequently do not normally employ this system long term.
