Old Codger-I can't believe you are actually giving J.S.F. some praise for allowing the new players to be signed. Well done Codger.


I am going to bite here.

There's a million and one posts/threads that are littered with various opinions about Mr Fenty. This thread was meant to be purely about football but in your own pathetic way, you had to go back to type.

This is not a side that is going to have a lot of possession or knock the ball around like Spain. This side will be built on a solid defence and breaks with pace and accurate passing. Interesting Askey said we only had 5 chances. That was rubbish. Sometimes the manager of a team that has a lot of possession thinks they ran the game but Buckley's sides were never possession teams, neither were Clough's. But they won a lot. The most successful Town sides have been built this way.

Quoted from MuddyWaters
I know we're very early into the new season but I think what we're seeing is that the management have changed the team in two major ways.

First, in terms of recruitment, they have made us more of a threat and less soft-centred. In the past, we would have certainly lost on Tuesday and possibly yesterday too. We also have members of the squad that can cover various positions and, whilst I don't agree with square pegs in round holes per se, players like Hendrie, Cook and Hewitt are vital in small squads.

Secondly, we seem more adaptable. There were clearly changes at half-time yesterday as there were on Tuesday night. Let's hope they can use our current form to attract the couple of players they're still looking to recruit.


Agree and we’ve got the blend of experience and youth right IMHO. MJ said 3 windows and he’s being true to his word so far within the confines of our playing budget versus income.

I guess you could say the squad is not deep enough but give me L2 quality versus quantity any day.

That lack of depth has been made up for with the versatility in a number of players (Hewitt, Hendrie, Cook)

Question is how well the next one goes (I know this one isn't over yet).

Will we be able to retain our good players? Will we be able to bring in anyone who adds to the squad without disrupting things. If that window goes well......well....


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

Jolley has learnt from last season what is needed to succeed n this division.

There is a parallel with Bielsa at Leeds.  He has changed the team from last season (top players have been sold).  They are flying now.

Both teams are also top scorers in their divisions.
