Things we've learnt or already knew:
Muric is still wet behind the ears and has been chucked in at the deep end.
Cash ain't no right back, we need a real one.
Worral and Dawson are not the best centre back partnership, would prefer Milo and Figs, or those 2 and Robinson as a back three.
Watson and Dawson are past their best.
Grabban has lost his appetite, doesn't look interested or can't be bothered and is not quick enough to play the lone striker role.
We're going to need yet more new recruits to get out of this division, cus most of what we've got now won't do it.

Dont think we learned from the game Perko, most of us already knew relying on a rookie goalkeeper, no right back and no competition up front wouldn't end well.
Oh well we've gone out and signed another keeper to go with the four we have, nothing like having plenty of cover in that department as we all know strikers don't get injured or lose confidence. lol🤔.

I don’t understand our recruitment. Apparently we are going to spend 3 million on a goalkeeper. That MUST mean pants and Steele are off. If not why are we wasting money on a keeper? Same with the left sided centreback we apparently offered 3 million. Although it makes sense to get McKenna I wouldn’t list it in our top 3 priorities. For me we need a rightback, centremid (especially when Gueds + Yacob go) and a striker. My only conclusion is that we are planning for next year when a lot of these bum players are out of contract. And go for it in that season? And this season is a punt on an inexperienced manager.

Tell ya what I've learned Perko. The DOF is a nutter and a total waste of space and we've got 38 bang average to crap players and no strike force.
Chances if promotion. Nil.

Redtree mate every season, we always seem to be planning to have a go next season, according to some on here, it’s like the old ‘ free beer tomorrow ‘ sign at the local boozer.

It takes time Stevie - chill out. At least it’s not dinosaur man with his Jurassic football.
05 Aug 2019 14:28:05
The DoF needs sacking.
Another keeper coming and we still have strikers who can't be arsed and another unproven. Get Gayle in ASAP.
The owner doesn't have a clue about this league.
It's bewildering that we sign so many midfielders and keepers yet only have 2 forwards? Utter madness. 🙄🤔.

2star it's worse than jurassic football. brace yourself for more pain, tears and frustration.
The owner doesn't have a clue. He will bring the back to the realms of division 1.
You can have the patience of a Saint but this year will the same as last year and all the years prior.

Stevie I disagree I don’t think we’ve ever planned for the next season. Or even a long term plan in general. That’s why we are lumbered with so many players. It’s always about a quick fix. Although we’ve just now been linked with Ulloa 😂 I actually rate him. I suppose he would be great as a back and have Mir as his understudy.

No mate, I agree the club hasn’t, but it’s normally the reaction of some posters on here when things ain’t going so well.

2star it could be worse mate, we could have lost to the mighty Eastleigh and had 2 blokes sent off, good job we got the joke that keeps giving across the river to keep a bit of perspective lol.
05 Aug 2019 17:09:13
Haha too right Stevie, it’s so frustrating that we find our selves here though - completely and utterly unnecessary!
05 Aug 2019 18:04:02
Agreed mate.
