AndyB2 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Just now, AndyB2 said: But they have evidently turned a corner on the pitch fairly quickly follow a relegation. Why is it taking us so long to point back firmly in the right direction? It shouldn’t be this difficult. And don’t go quoting the number of years Wrexham et al were in NL. We have had financial backing from day 1. We should be significantly further along than we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're in the playoff places in the division below, we're in/around the playoffs in the division above. How are they going in the right direction but we aren't? 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

League one forever Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 1 hour ago, nzlatic said: Parts of this thread read like a four Yorkshiremen sketch of negativity. 3-0 defeat? Luxury! I used to dream of getting beat 3-0 at home by chesterfield. We’ll be 6-0 down 5 minutes before the game kicks off. The league will relegate us 2 divisions at half time for playing 15 centre backs and on the way out we’ll be made to lick the boots clean of every chesterfield supporter there. And we’d be grateful for it. It’s owtb tradition - absolutely slate everything about us before the game, then if we win come on later and say - I’ll take it, but winning isn’t everything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t say we aren’t going in the right direction. I am complaining at how long it’s taking to turn the tanker. I will say it again, 18-20 months in it should be better than this.

And unsworth would have added to the quote over the year (eg garner) as Mellon has. Please don’t claim that Mellon has overhauled the squad because he hasn’t Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nzlatic Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 26 minutes ago, AndyB2 said: I haven’t done the maths but with our Mellon record applied from day 1 I assume the gap would be perhaps 22 -24 points. Still thoroughly depressing and not really acceptable. do you disagree? How many games has Cook had in charge of chesterfield? Maybe look at that before crying that Mellon hasn’t got us up to their standard in 20 games. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
