Is DA a snake oil salesman.

I don't think we'll get relegated but clearly it's going to be bumpy until we hit the 50 point mark, though I'd be severely p1ssed off if we went down "but played good football". For this season at least I'd be happy with pragmatic safety.

Has any league 2 team ever been relegated playing good football?

The ‘great’ Luton side of 08/09?

They were so watchable they even had Black & White Bear purring like a pre-spayed cat.

Quoted from davmariner

We might be in the National League by then. Surely that’s staggeringly stupid?

Some might say that those of us who have put up with such dull football for so long are staggeringly stupid.

It’s all about perspective. And yours is very negative.

We played well at Salford, be it against a poor side, and 38 mins against Walsall, until we let them equalise by Waterfall who has only 3 gears, its a shame but true. We need a "Sargeant when in the Trenches" but not a slow one.
We can play good football, but not in long enough periods, and I think the January window will disappoint fans as I think the money has been spent on other projects.
So we might get some stop-gap loans or freebies, I think the future is youth. Maybe earlier than anticipated, but at least they won't give up as easily as the oldies. UTM

What ‘projects’ are you referring to?

Quoted from HerveJosse

JS said the decision to relieve PH was stats based based on stats that had been detoriating over 8 weeks before the trigger was pulled . I wonder how the same stats from December on compare.

We have played 10 league games since PH was removed and sit in 14th in the form guide over those 10 games, so not as bad as people imagine. We've lost 3 of those 10, but they have all come in a short space of time over the last couple of weeks, so it feels really gloomy at the moment.

There are 10 teams performing worse over that period, so unless there is a dramatic drop off by us, and/or a dramatic upturn by 10 other teams, we should be fine.

I don't think some fans realise that we can only spend 55% of income on the playing squad, and that spending in other areas isn't taking money away from signing players.

There will be scope for signings in Jan. Doubt there will be any fees involved, but there will be some players that can be moved on and replaced I would think. I reckon the management will be laying it on the line for some in the coming week while we have this gap in the fixtures. There are umpteen players in the squad whose contracts expire in June, and I suspect some will be getting told they can move on now if they can get fixed up elsewhere.

I happen to think your assessment of Hurst’s football is extremely negative and quite frankly, nonsense - like most of your posts on here.

I didn’t see many people saying that when we beat Southampton at St Mary’s and had a day out in Brighton. Not to mention the excellent play off campaign.

Here we go. Because you disagree, I talk nonsense. I suppose I was wrong when I called out Fenty too?
