Fan Forum tonight

[OP67]

There was a thread about this a few weeks ago and I thought somebody said that the plan was for it to be shown live. I'm sure I've watched one or two live in the past.

I expect the mood is generally different following a loss than after a win. Subtle but enough to affect the general tone in the audience to the point somebody may feel emboldened enough to ask a more difficult question, or to put it across more forcefully than they would otherwise.

If I were organising these things I'd always try to pick a date that followed a home game which we were likely to secure three points.

Yeah they've been streamed on You Tube previously but to be fair have been pretty amateurish with crap sound and a fair few pointless and repeated questions that take ages. I often thought there's 2 hours of my life I'll never get back

It will be available to view after it's finished at some stage, probably on Pie Player.

Also looking at non league, a few on the radar.

Not a surprise, there'll be plenty of players there more than capable of making the step up a division. Also saw it posted still looking abroad but obviously only aloud one more.

I hope we keep that one quiet.

A few things I remember from the evening…

* We have an above-average budget for the division, but are far from having the biggest budget. As RM described it, a few clubs have very big budgets for L2, then there’s a group with similar above-average budgets, which is where we sit.

* A striker offering something a little different to what we currently have is on the radar for January.

*Asked about inverted wing backs, SM pointed out the benefits of having a wing back being able to clear with their best foot when the ball comes in from the opposite flank. He said we were conceding a lot of goals this way last season, but we’re not now. He thinks Bass is the best keeper in L2.

* SM and the club both prefer Friday to Sunday games when we have a clash with Forest. A show of hands among those present showed an overwhelming majority also preferred Fridays.

* We got a very favourable deal from Spurs with Abbott - sounds like we’re not paying too much for him. RM likes loan players because they represent great value for money, but it’s a gamble when you get raw U-21s who’ve not played men’s football before.

* Although the padel court and the Nest are listed as separate entities, they contribute towards making the club more self-sufficient. The revenue from them goes into the club.

* Talking of the Nest, West Ham fans spent a fortune there the other week. I’ve always liked WHU.

* Not many questions for the bros, but they reiterated their aim of getting us promoted. RM mentioned getting promoted this season several times, forcing wry smiles from SM.

ta for the write-up, nw6.

Wry, crisp and dry, we'll do better if we buy.
