Around 60 players used in two and a half years may be considered tinkering.

Or the necessary changes to the squad after a relegation and then a subsequent promotion.

I know it's Premier League, but watching Aston Villa away at Newcastle, they were getting 4-5 players in the Newcastle box when attacking.  relatively we should be able to do the same in League Two, unless instructions have been given to not do that.  But why would that be the case when we are at home?  Are we too worried about countering the other teams tactics, instead of letting them worry about ours?

They lost 5-1 didn’t they?

Yes, and we also lost, but unlike them, didn't attack in numbers to try and win it.

I’d suggest that, seeing as we lost 3-2 and they lost 5-1, we came closer to winning it than they did.

A bit early to decide anything yet give it 10 or so games then give us your opinion.


Exactly this, the start of this season has me in mind of 2017 when my other team (Llanelli Scarlets) spent 2016 building nicely into the top half of the table after years of underachieving and european qualification, bought in some more talent over the summer and then.....lost all 5 of the opening games of the season.  I wanted the coach sacked like most other fans at the time, but to prove just how little I really know about professional sport they turned it round from game 6 on and won the league playing sublime rugby, also reaching the semi finals of Rugby equivalent to the champions league.

I'm not saying Town will now storm the league, but give em a few games at least before we start shouting Hursts out

Taken a lot of time & quite a bit of money for some teams to try and get out of that so called Dog & Duck league. I think I see the real problem here and that is you are stuck in the footballing world from 20+ years ago. Footballs moved on. So called non league teams are professional now and splash a fair bit of cash around. We are not a Championship club kicking above our weight anymore. Get the impression you’d rather have seen Hurst fail in the promotion season and you seem to be one of those who gets some sort of kick out of a defeat so you can have a moan.


Baldrick ! The only impression you can do is that of a man with no talent !!

You’re making the error of thinking that Denni is capable of any remotely positive sentiment, or of evolving his perception of what he expects from Town from where it was in 1935.
