Brilliant. Can't wait for the transfer window if Mike is re-stocking.

That'll depend on how the squad does as a whole and who comes to the fore in the forward department.
It seems quite a few players are doing just that.
Maybe a re-stock isn't for January unless we lose some stock.

[ghostrider]

Agreed. I remember when Carroll left, we were really quick in bringing in Kuqi.

We've brought in many players that haven't cut the mustard and we'll continue to do that.
It's part and parcel of being a football club.
ut them you offset that by looking at what we have re-stocked with that have been well worth the effort.
Swings and roundabouts.

They'd better 'come to the fore' bloody quickly because the window opens in 18 days' time and one of them is crocked till at least then.

Replacing our main goalscorer with a rejected sub-standard Championship player is just part and parcel, swings and roundabouts etc.?

Not Mike being cheap, greedy and unambitious? Just a little bit?

I think we have enough quality to cope.

No. Replacing an injured player who pulled a stunt at the last minute leaving us with no real chance to go into the transfer market to replace him. So you have to do what you have to do.

Many clubs have done similar so it's nothing new.

Anyway back to the original topic,I found this a decent read.

To cope with what? Avoiding relegation?

You could be right (just I was hoping for a bit more from my club).

We all hope for a bit more.
Even fans of clubs at the top hope for a bit more. It's a never ending hope for a bit more.
Fans are rarely pacified for long, no matter what.

As for avoiding relegation. It goes for a whole host of clubs throughout all leagues.
You could argue at this point in time that all but 4 teams are avoiding relegation or you can say they're looking as to high they can finish.
Glass half full or half empty springs to mind.

Each to their own thoughts but my thoughts are simple. I take every game as it comes and in between I'll predict and hope but never expect.

The thing you fail to comprehend is that we have an owner who does not " hope for any more" .. Which is unique in the footballing world .
