Patience required

sinkov, well what can I say ---win in the replay and you have another home tie against York City! Now that would be a hard game!
If we win tomorrow night we have a horrible trip to Kings Lynn to look forward to.

Best of luck with that one Sub, if it were me I'd be stopping in the Premier Inn at Boston on the Friday night, driving down there on a Saturday morning is asking for trouble. Any road, let's hope that's a problem you will have to resolve.

The strange things is, BT, that we had picked up 17 points from 14 games under Eddie and scored 26 conceded 29. From the day that Sean took over his first 11 games saw us win 4 draw 4 and lose 3, scoring 12 and conceding 11 and picking up 16 points so VK's first 11 games have been similar from a results point of view. Obviously, the following season we gained promotion so the only difference is that VK has the full season to see whether we can gain promotion whereas Sean's first season was one third of the way through when he took over.

The thing about Eddie Sub was he had a real eye for players and left us with a very decent spread , Ings - vokes - Austin - Trippier to name a few - all excellent at that level , I dread to think
How many Ings would have scored in this team.

In fairness to Vincent he tried to buy a powerful goal scorer - it just didn’t happen.

Personally for me I’d rather watch the football we play now , also without slagging Dyche off he didn’t learn anything in the 10 years about formation , changing shape , and counteracting the oppositions moves / tactics - just used to depress me when I could see it happening and folk around me as well but we just kept on doing the same thing week after week.

He did actually buy one Army, he just hasn't been fit to play yet.

Rumours are coming out of Barnfield that Twine's problems are not physical.

Interesting comment, BT. VK is very cagey about injuries and I have never heard an explanation of Twine’s “injury”. I may have missed it.

Here we are, weeks into the season and we have barely seen him. I think he came on as a sub in one match.

I don’t think he’s even been on the bench.

Expand please on that BT , mental ? Or drink ?

I’m a little unsure why he’d go from hero to zero in a short space of time with mental issues , top scorer , move to a bigger club life on the up.

I’ll ask my inside person , see what comes back.

The rumour is the lad is suffering from clinical depression, it's not a given but there seems to be no other logical explanation for his absence.

Aaron Lennon suffered in the same way - patience and understanding required.

[sinkov]

It was looking a bit suspicious, Vinni was saying 'he's not far away', and that was 10 games ago. There's clearly something else at play here.

A lot of people don't understand mental problems.Best of luck to the lad,I hope he gets specialist help.

I'm sure he will under the auspices of Vinny.
