Slight contradiction there, me thinks...

It's not just pace. It's pace and strength we lack.

I think we'll get a result here. Despite the recent run of dross, Tomasson is more than good enough to put a win or two together periodically. 2-1 to the Rovers.

Spot on. I think in the main it's dull to watch. If we're lucky, we might get 20 minutes of decent, progressive, attacking football a match.

Nail on head. On Dolan, he has a good game in every 5 or so, usually when we're away from home and we play on the counter, which suits him I think. As you say though, he's not the only one.

Which one?

Moran is going backwards at a rate of knots. Sigurdsson has done little thus far to show that he's a reliable week in, week out Championship standard player.

Totally agree with you there, he's done a lot of good things and I've not heard one single call for his head, put it that way. It doesn't mean that he's beyond critcism, though.

It doesn't mean that they're not entitled to an opinion either.

It's more a case of people judging Tomasson on his own merits.

Finally someone's called it out. All these comments about 'exciting football', 'getting me off my seat', 'identity' etc are wearing thin with me. The only football that excites me is winning football. Tomasson has done a great job in a lot of ways, but he has a massive achilles heel IMO.

Opinions eh? There are several ST holders guys who sit near me, who go to every game home and away, are 'meh' when it comes to Tomasson.

Even if we had any money, I'm not convinced that we'd recruit well anyway. Tronstad and Hill aside, our recruitment over the past 2 windows, under Broughton's watch, has been dire.

It's the same story every chuffin' game. Our ability to see games out is none existant, it's sh!t or bust. Tomasson needs to learn to take a draw, but I don't think it's in him.

It's not up to the supporter base to engage with him. Rather, it's his job to engage with us, the 'consumers', especially over something as fundamental as this 'digital' fiasco.

Last one, not two.

Every game should be about growing the fan base.

What gets me the most in all of this, is not providing a grace period for ST holders to claim their own seat. As a ST holder, I find that insulting. As to the rationale behind this, my guess is that, as with the force to 'digital only', it's being done to alleviate the need to man the ticket office over the xmas week. ie a cost cutting exercise.

That is true of Dolan to a degree, but IMO he's merely the best of a very bad bunch.

Carrot and stick 101. Rather than offering the carrot eg 'buy a digital ticket and be automatically entered into a prize draw', they use the stick ie 'you have to buy a digital ticket or you can't come'. They've not got a commercial bone between them.

Some light relief.....Nobbers 5-1 down now

Things have moved on, possession is all that matters don't you know? It's now the 'best league in the world'!!!!!

The jury is out for me. I'm not convinced he has the bottle for week in, week out, English football.

Exactly this. The reality is nothing to do with 'being green'. Bold claims will be made about how much printer ink and paper they've saved thus, reducing their 'carbon footprint', whilst conveniently ignoring the fact that they've merely passed the buck and the cost on.
