Guess it's incentive to keep his weight down...a contract might just see him balloon again Thy must be confident he needs us more than we need him essentially

True not one pre season goal in 4 games from the existing squad...scary really exactly where we were last season.

Wish we could score more goals

Sounds like McKay and Erwin are working well together...glad Cassidy is on the bench

Shame ?

Anyone retired or off school fancy doing a table of all 92 existing football league clubs from Prem to League 2 with the below variables over the last 20 years? I'm expecting us to be firmly propping up the table in the majority of the negative attributes which will go some way to justify the misery that surrounds this club. Wins draws losses Goals for Goals against Promotions Relegations Top 6 finishes Bottom 6 finishes Managers

True...even saying give the new team and manager time is futile...we have been giving manager after manager and new squad upon new squad time since before TTA's even arrived at BP.

The silence from fans on here is pretty worrying...at least post upon post of doom and gloom suggests people still give a damn

You do him a major injustice...he finds a formula that does the best job at the club that he is at and has proven it on more than one occasion. He has never had the talent at his disposal that he will have with the England squad so how can you judge him on his (successful) managerial career.

He has been :censored: more than he has been good...probability suggests he is :censored: with a bit of a purple patch that Trannere. People love to look for glimmer of hope and obsess over the exception rather than the rule... - Adam Rooney - for when someone comes here with poor form at previous clubs - not winning pre season friendlies - for indication of how the season will pan out - Joe Royle losing games - for giving a new manager time We hear these phrases (and any more) rolled out all the time for different scenarios and probablility always wins out that if someone is crap more than they are good they are generally crap!!

To be fair I think 18 months off dross is a good enough reason for people to be...

I'd put money on any team in the league finishing above us at this rate...

I think you are mistaking people's observations from friendlies for criticism...part of the fun of being a football fan is thinking you know where things can be improved. Chill out and let people air their views.

Probably the reality of it...Winchester needs to buck up, he gets till end of September for me. A Sheff Utd mate informs me will will get a decent 50% of games out Flynn the rest he will be a passenger.

Granted for 80% of the team but you still need 1 or 2 players capable of positive decisive passing/shooting

Bit worried Robinson is saying he only thinks we need a striker and a winger....think we are seriously lacking some midfield creativity

Unfortunately the Creme de le Creme of Midfielders and Strikers (the ones that create and score goals) are always going to be beyond our reach. Robinsons attempt to out battle teams (alla Sam Allardyce teams in the Prem) is probably the best chance we have.

FT 3-1 to preston

Who gave the pen away? Odds on favourite is Klok followed closely by Edmunson

Is it on latics player?

Is it on LP?

CM's is still weak in my opinion...klok and Flynn currently with Woodland and Banks as back up?

Hardworking lumps over rapid ambivalent players like Poleon anyway of the week...hopefully they are hardworking!

Defence is relatively steady now...Midfield is looking week and one more striker

Josh Laws mate?
