Tom Elliot’s stats are gash, and he’s 31

Just repeating names that are getting mentioned, he wouldn’t be for me either.

I’m not for one minute saying Tom Elliot is the answer, but Ryan Taylor’s stats were also gash and he was one of our best players last year. He didn’t score many goals but he was the focus to bring the attacking midfielders into play and allowing us to play the way hurst wanted to play.

It’s not all about the stats (unless your name is golly)9

Don’t worry. Chaos seems to like picking fault.

If being concerned about a lack of squad depth in certain areas makes me an ‘old moaner’, count me in.

There’s extenuating circumstances with the late end to last season and I totally understand that but I don’t like to see us looking unprepared.


But Hurst is working on it.  The club is dealing with it.  I am sure they are not all playing darts thinking it's job done.  Remember our crap spell last season.  Everybody started moaning.  We turned that around, we will turn this run of bad form around too (1 game)

I fail to see Hurst's problem in finding a 20 goal a season striker. As I believe last season there was ONE in the Vanarama and ONE in League 2. So it should be easy

To add fuel to the fire , it sadly appears that the club owners are more intent on building the corporate team than the playing one, with their seemingly constant notices on the club site for executive vacancies and ancillary staff. It reminds me of the Bignot era, who clearly couldn't walk the walk, and tried to surround himself with others who could cover his failings - until JF twigged him trying to spend his money.  

Controversial -  yes , but I know I'm not the first to notice.

It would be nice to know if these appointments affect the playing budget

They would have to, surely?  We have *a budget* as a club, so all expenditure has to come out of this, no?

I appreciate there will be some fluidity with increased income streams etc.

Are you seriously asking that they should justify any non-playing appointments with an explanation of what impact it will have on the playing budget? Do you want people who are going to try to build a professional acting and sustainable club or just someone to spunk a load of money on a couple of names you recognise?
