Makes you wonder what will happen regarding Mr Fenty if he takes us back into the tinpot for a second time???





The same as is happening now I suspect only a bit worse. Abuse, Fenty must go, it's all his fault etc etc

I wonder what will happen to Jolley if he takes us back to tinpot?

To be honest, I'm hoping that if we look at anytime that Tin pot is looming the board act before it's too late and replace Jolley..
But, I am really living in the hope Jolley can find those cheap(free) gems and prove he has the ability to put a squad together on a shoe string that can comfortably compete in the EFL...

If Hurst had stayed with Podge and Toto we might have done.

If amond had stayed we’d be on our way to Madrid playing the mighty Liverpool, he had a brilliant game the other day at Wembley mind, wasn’t in Monthe’s pocket at all, took only 78 minutes to have his first shot on goal, FFS Hurst.


Today we got our team back - town fan leaving Wembley may 2016

My immediate concern is not doing a Yeovil.

I’m just looking at the League 2 line up for next season now it’s been finalised, and I cannot see many (any?) worse teams than us. It is a very strong league...


Well let's hope there are 2 worst, and hopefully one if them is scunny.

Jolley won't take us to the tinpot...he would be sacked as soon as it looked inevitable......
back to the original post.....as much as i disliked Hurst's approach at times in the non league i thought it would be very suited to League 2...to get out of the non league you generally have to be the top scoring side winning most of your games....not something Hurst was comfortable with...he had a dont lose mindset, which with only one automatic spot just wont cut it.
In League Two with more promotion places and play off places up for grabs not losing games keeps you up and around the play offs which i thought Hurst would have been succesful at.....regardless of the team he assembled/disassembled he would have had a team that was hard to beat which gives half a chance.

Very true about Hurst, Moosey. I don't share the optimism about Jolley getting the push in time though. He may just win enough games for us to stay in with a chance and while that is happening JF will not sack him. The way things are shaping up though, I have to say I feel the least confident I have ever felt going into the close season.

I dont think most Town fan`s appreciate just how poor league 2 has been since our Promotion especially that first year . Had we on the back of 3k ST sales backed the Manager with some funds we would in my opinion have made the Play Offs ? That`s only an opinion and I base it on the turmoil we had after and just before PH left plus Bignut downing tools on the Play Off places with games to go . The departure of Bogle largely ended our goal threat and we haven`t recovered since but that`s hardly a surprise league 2 doesnt have many players like that. Again Tranmere have that type of striker and that`s what has got them up in this league you need a strong team/squad or a goalscorer and if you have both better still. The team that beat FGR at Wembley was a decent side at league 2 level and needed 3-4 bringing in 2 of those to replace Toto and Nolan who had left. Everyone else could and should have been retained but the wages offered were sh1t and we lost more players and our management team.

I'm sure I heard or read though that we had a competitive budget?
