Next two weeks will show us what ambition this club has.

[Pocket rocket]

A few weeks ago quite a few fans wanted shut of Morrison, Clucas and Peltier and yet of late they’ve arguably been our best performers
Revan too and aside from a gaff at Leicester and Fulham, who are effectively both Prem standard teams , he’s done very well….in my opinion.

Some people also wanted shut of Odoffin about 9 months ago, now he needs to be tied down to a long term deal

Eaves was going to be our saviour after one goal and a sympathetic radio interview. He hasn’t, and he doesn’t look like he’s going to be

Chieo couldn’t cross a ball apparently but we should have got a huge fee if he was under contract

It’s a funny old game as they say….

Not sure what your point is flower?
Are you saying don’t tie down players like oddofin.
And when you say people said this or that. I’m on about the club doing what’s right and they haven’t consistently successfully done that with contracts for a long time. Victor excluded.
People will always have opinions on players etc you can’t use the fans difference of opinions as a get out for the club.
I’m generally a happy clapper but we’re a mess in a lot of aspects at the moment mate. Having a pop at supporters however inconsistent the views may seem doesn’t mask the situation we are in.

very good post, it is easier for some to have a pop at other supporters than address the issues under discussion

PR
Only just seen this apologies for the delayed response
The point I was making is that the sport of football is very fluid and can change very quickly.
Hence it,s very difficult to decide what is the best strategy and course of action.
A lot of people seem to be blaming Tony, Paul Douglas, Matt Taylor even LR now.
In the Summer transfer window many fans were really happy with recruitment and we’d gone up a few notches in terms of budget and quality.
We then had some fantastic performances and results at home including Blackburn, Norwich,Preston , Coventry. We looked as though we could survive again but then catastrophic injuries happened. We seemed to be having 2 every game or so. That’s what’s killed us.

Since then fans turned on the ex manager, blamed poor recruitment, not handing out better contracts etc
Taking odoffin as an example , he’s only shown consistent form this autumn in over 2.5 seasons. He’s had opportunities, admittedly sporadic ones , but he’s taken a long time to hit cship quality. So what were we to do with him?

I’m not blaming or criticising fans I’m just pointing out that hindsight is a wonderful thing and there seems to be some significant U turns in opinion
