What happens if only say 100 of you turn up....what will that say to the board?

Weirdly we sacked ronnie Moore because of dwindling crowds and yet they seem oblivious to the fact that this would greatly affect crowds in a negative way

Really blackpool who have been scouring europe for out of contract players who are desperate so they can pay them :censored:e money are now going to buy someone, and a 27 year old with injury problems at that

I didnt say they were prolific, in fact thats my point

Poleon

philly

turner

bove

forte

ibehre

6 fowards, choose better with your budget was the point

Truth is though bp we have 6 stikers on the book. Sacking a backroom member to get a seventh is not the answer choosing better in the first place is

Let be honest thats an extended trial with bolton paying his wages. There are are a lot of things to kick johnson about today but that is not one of them

Moral wise for the subs, that was easily the worse performance of the season and not one player could have complained if they were subbed, and johnson looked at his bench with a sub still to make and said not one one you is good enough or deserves a chance to come on. That will have done wonders for their moral

Am I the only one who would like the money saved from offers to be put into the team funds.

Offers have not worked, so keep that money into the player budget.

The only successful ongoing and regular reduced price season ticket offer seems to be Bradford.

Why is every club not doing it if it is successful?

also they started the reduced rate about five years ago and it took at trip to wembly to actually give them enough funds to get out of the division

I agree that he was a signed on in close season as a very cheap versitile squad player, but saturday there were some very tierd legs out there and we were getting pushed further and further back becuase of it, and yet as our only option he still couldnt get 5 minutes. This says to me that regardless of the reasons he was signed he has now become a wasted wage.

Yep, he's a bit of a strange one for me. I'm not his biggest fan, but then I'm not saying he should be replaced just now. He's steady, I suppose...

I agree they had three shots yesterday and scored 2, and somehow people have him as mom. I also dont think he should be replaced but its a strange one

I was just using that as an example if you look at the amount of totally unnecessary contracts we gave out last year

dunfield

belzekia

byron

kissock

etc etc

we also appear to be overloaded with centre backs this year to me

heres the thing though dont sign noble get one or our players out on loan we still have 5 players who can plan in the two places. that to me still seems bloated considering we are short on cash so yes wasted money for me.

The problem to me is johnson wastes his budget. small example but here are the center mids at the start of the season

deing

kelly

jones

philliskirk

mellor

winchester

and then for some reason we bring noble in

now mellor cant make the bench ahead of a clearly unfit nobel

either mellor should never have been given a contract or we didn't need noble. opinions to the answer to that will differ on here but either way its a waste of a wage

As far as i can recall he made one save from the free kick. people were saying it was a good save, but truth is if he had been beaten on his near post from a free kick we would have slated him.

Winchester and Forte have been better than alright.

Gonna stick my neck out and say Rachubka. Ok, he's been at fault for some of the goals we've conceded, but he's also pulled off some great saves, and I'm not convinced that the lack of communication at the back is his fault.

I think he should have done better with every goal we have conseeded so far in the league. And if im honest I cant remember any good saves, even at this early stage in the season I think he is lucky we only have him or he could be dropped

If it produces a promotion challenge they'll be replaced and then some

can you honestly see with that formation at home we would get promoted. it will bring a lot of draws. yesterday we were found out after 45 minutes, if people do their homework it may not take that long

It's not what I'd choose to watch, given the choice, but it's what worked at the back end of last season.

The problem though is some people will choose not to watch it. At the end of last season we were getting results but i was board out of my mind. we played 4-5-1 and the guy i go with said johnson has just found a way to get results to secure a place in the division, and he will change it next year, he did yesterday we played 4-1-4-1 - even more negative!I thought we played well in the first half, but in the second half created f all and i was board again and we didnt change formation to give it a go. people will stop coming if we say the same

People keep saying he deserves to play because he played well at the end of last season. Surely to god the whole :censored:ing point of pre season is to play the whole squad and whoever plays best starts the season. Wilson played best and started

Weren't we 3-0 down at half time with Harkins and Wesolowski as a midfield pairing?

I have a feeling LJ may go with a 5-3-2 next season using B.Wilson and Mills as wing backs with any 3 from Lockwood, Kusunga, J.Wilson and Brown in the 3 central positions, midfield would then be Smith central with Jones inside right, hopefully harkins inside left with JCH up front with a.n.other hopefully clarke/zoko/mcleod leaving turner, philly, dayton, winchester,

mellor and bove on the bench.

honestly I know that brown improved in the second half of the season and we need to give him credit for that, but for christ sake if that defensive liability ever played centre half we would get :censored:ing hammered!!

One of these days there won't be any decent players to sell, what happens then?

we will sign some more and sell them.

3 players we sold when they had potential spencer philliskirk and trotman all were a failure at there respected clubs and showed up to be very good business for toldham, and yet we reportedly have turned down bids for mellor and have now lost out cause he didnt live up to his potential.

If someone signs clarke harris he still needs a lot of time and work, time most clubs dont have so i fear that potential will fall by the wayside, selling now may prove to be a good bit of business again

We have a young manager you people are happy with and yet we have a young goalkeeping coach and yet for some reason we want to replace him, for being young

Honestly a good pre season? He had 18 games, if we cant get him fit in that time we need to sack evyone on our back room staff!

I honestly thought :censored: was going to very good player, I think he was one of the best loanees we have had in the last 5 years

agree unfortunately until a squad is assembled that looks capable of mounting a serious assault on the top half of the table fans are just going to stay away, without wanting to sound negative and critical there will be no lanzoni, grounds, tarky, baxter and even possibly wes and smith that we started with last season add to that harkins and worrall its easy to see why some will see us struggling in the bottom third of the division next season, I know my view doesnt conform with the optimists amongst you but that is the reality, I find it worrying that LJ is bigging up players like Bove as in my opinion he is a couple of years away from 1st team football if we are relying on the kids weve had it.

And lets remember that wes wasnt considered a starter at the start of the season lanzoni wasnt here and many people on here thought that tarky should be released. There may be many reasons for people not renewing but , lets not be overly optimistic about the past
