Drew 2 a piece. it's the hope that kills ya Not many clubs are even remotely successful, when it’s so turbulent off the pitch. There are exceptions like Blackpool. I’d feel a lot more hopeful if you could trust the club to run things properly for a consistent period. IMO there are green shoots. The managerial appointments. (Which more than anything bring the club together) Bunns handling of troublemakers. Reduced ticket prices. IF we can get our staff paid on time and keep things on a even keel, we could surprise a few this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Around 30% will be going home, growling at the wife and kicking the dog before venting their anger on their respective forums. It's my religion and I shall be there Saturday praying for a win.

Buckshawlatic Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Open training session - everyone looking happy and Jack Byrne who’s been a trouble causer posting all over Twitter positively engaging with fans today yet they haven’t been paid???

Millwall home about 2007 Theres a Yeovil in there somewhere. Ronnies first game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astottie Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Fair point but can you imagine the slagging off you would have got on here from us fans? never play for the club again and flog him to anyone that will have him, or just flog him!

unsworthlatic Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 I have absolutely no idea what to expect this season in terms of performance, results or where we will finish. Generally, we all knew what to expect especially in the recent past but this year there's so many variables which could effect how we do. Things such as HMRC raid outcome (potential points deducted/heavy fine), Squad harmony (will we get Byrne back involved or will he and anymore potential troublemakers upset the apple cart) Momentum (could happen both ways, start well, confidence grows, results keep on coming vice versa however, start badly, end up in a rut) AL involvement (he admitted mistakes were made on his part last year, how will he learn from them?) All these could end up effecting our season. So far I have seen pundits tip us for releagtion, fine, their choice. However, for the life of me, I cannot see us finishing below certain teams (excuse my partial arrogance) I go into this season with hope and slight excitement, purely because we're not guaranteed a relegation battle for the first time in donkey's. I reckon 14th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a bit inbetweeny. He said they'd talked about the problem from last year and agreed it wasn't an excuse not to play well. Fair enough, but not something you'd want to rely on long term Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BP1960 Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Watching Derby County on TV, who we play in the League Cup, they certainly don't like being pressurised. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
