  1. Might there be a chance he hasn’t indicated in training that he can dominate adult centre halves in the same way that can cat 3 u18s. Throwing someone in to fail isn’t a youth development system.
  2. It's pretty much spot on. I stayed after the final whistle and made it clear that I wasn't happy and they'd be better off just leaving the pitch. However, some of them, I feel genuinely sorry for such as Desire who is young, miles away from home, trying his chase their dream but has been thrown into a hopeless situation - probably as a result of some shady agent dealings. He's probably not good enough but is here now anyway but similar to Fage (who looks more promising), our recruitment policy has left them with no senior pros to guide them and this is where I felt the likes of Nepomuceno & Maouche had failed to step up. In retrospect though, it's probably not in their character so they shouldn't be blamed either (However, I'd like to think that Maouche would acknowledge this & volunteer to step aside as captain when someone moer capable is available - as highly unlikely as that is). I honestly think a small handful of the squad have some individual ability but, as a football team, there's very little to suggest that results are about to improve. The complete absence of guile means that they just don't know how to win games and are unlikely to learn. Unfortunately for them, they will always be the focal point for the most important aspect of the club.
  3. Left it to the bloke collecting the money to tell everyone, rather than any kind of notice. Just leaves a bad taste.
  4. As shite as it is, isn't it part of the T&Cs around purchasing a season ticket that you can be moved to a different part of the ground? Certainly when buying one for the North Stand initially, we didn't get to actually sit in it but weren't offered a cash alternative.
  5. Out of interest, what is it you would need to see (or expect to be) presented in order to be persuaded that there was interference around his (non) selection?
  6. Couldn't agree with that. We'd be top half of the Championship but I doubt we'd get out of it.
  7. Does anyone know how many previous employees are taking us to a tribunal over their removal from these lists? I've read on Twitter that the kit man and Chief Exec have been paid up but don't know how many more are taking their dismissals further. I expect Gerrard would be one & possibly Philliskirk to be another.
  8. Reeks of "We don't need a goalkeeper coach for a couple of months, so why should I pay for one?"
  9. Pretty much nailed on that even an intention to sue PS will now make the press (especially as suing someone for £175 for quitting their job after a month seems either fanciful or something that we should do more often). Looks like it has been leaked by one of Chuckle's FB group 'mates' - would be interesting to know how it fell into his hands.
  10. We'd already know that wouldn't we as mortgages/ charges are updated as and when they are incurred and settled...which this one hasn't been.
  11. I've rarely known anyone use social media to post so much offensive, racist bile than 'Chuckle' and yet he seems to be trying to position himself into a role with the club. Strange times.
  12. I think there are strongish feelings on Twitter for a protest (and maybe to some extent on here too) but I don't think that is necessarily representative of much of our support who probably don't bother reading anything on either platform. Certainly there's a few around me that only hear about things to with the club if it makes the papers and, even then, they'd still turn up. Today's attendance was probably down on where it would have been with another half dozen points but I don't think there are too many (maybe a few hundred - but not thousands) who would likely boycott because of things being said on the internet.
  13. It'd be great if this was the beginning of a sustained period of success but given that history is often a better indicator of the future rather than blind hope, I reckon he'll last to that couple of weeks in the summer when the season ticket money is in but none of the ambitious transfer targets are.
  14. I was excited when it said "Amazing Goals & Skills"...and then I watched it...and then reported it to YouTube.
