We’ve dropped off twice because we don’t/didn’t have the players, simple as that. The buck stops with those above the manager on that score.

An England forum?! What do folk talk about in the other 45 weeks a year?

End of the day it’s a results business, we finish on similar points, a similar league position, then ok give both a ‘B’ if you want. But there is obviously context between a fella with five years in a role, to a fella managing in England for the first time. You are being a bit simplistic.

Seems pretty clear they had a fall out in the run up to the World Cup. That’s football, unfortunately. Certainly an element of JDT cutting his nose off to spite his face. But he’s the boss.

Can’t have it both way Sparks, you keep telling us how we are full of ‘little boys’. Yet expect to be 3rd in the table?

😁, Feel free to get wound up by the fact some folk come out the woodwork for big games, but it was ever thus. But then folk also like moaning about empty seats, can’t have it both ways.

He had them eating out his hands until his final few weeks.

Every club has ‘part time supporters’, and said part timers will come out for big games. That’s football. Odd thing to get wound up about.

To be fair he did blame Swag on the match thread… his secretary must have changed the brand of teabags.

Hard to directly compare because as you say different divisions Dunn’s direct running, quick feet and goals reminded me of a young Gascoigne. But has to be the most exciting product since Duff and Dunn (well, Jones, but defenders don’t quite get fans going the same!).

At least they don’t have their own flag…

So SW is still fecking up the football side as well as the commercial side. When’s he retiring again?

It’s his bravery for me. Always willing to have the ball in difficult areas/no space, always looking for a positive pass, even if it’s much riskier than the standard five yard pass to the defence that aids your completion stats. A Rolls-Royce of a player at 18.

Not exactly Ederson, is he. Absolutely crackers to push TK out the door for someone as bang average as Pears.

Not particularly, don’t really enjoy watching my beloved Blackburn Rovers get beat at home by Burnley. But at least I was there supporting my club watching an honest bunch of lads busting a gut… but of course folk are free to watch a match wherever they please.

Well we definitely know someone who ‘bottled it’ in more ways than one…

Squad player now, squad player in the future. That's about it really.

People seem to forget how few ST holders we now have, ergo it's bloody difficult to 'fill' the ground for any game as you have to rely on vast numbers of walk-ons to rock up. But to sell c6k walk-ons is fine, it's double the usual, and this is a Sky midweek at top whack pricing to boot. End of the day there is only one solution - SELL MORE SEASON TICKETS!

He KnOWs ThE cLuB ThOuGH

They are turning up, we’ve sold a shed load of walk ons, especially at those prices for a Sky midweek. It is what it is when you only have c9k ST holders.

5k in the end lower tiers.

To be fair you’d imagine more ST holders will turn up for this one (unless they are hiding under their stairs like Merce).

‘Not done a lot wrong’ is what you hear, no he hasn’t. But has he excelled? Not particularly. He’s a decent number 2, and that’s as far as it goes for me. But as he is supposedly better at passing a ball five yards to a centre half, I imagine the superior *goalkeeper* will be off in the summer. Which in my view is a very short sighted decision.

Yet Sky pick us pretty much every week 🤷‍♂️

Not fickle at all, the very opposite in fact, we normally sell c5k walk on tickets for a Dingle game… we’ve sold c5k walk on tickets. Indeed that standard 5k normally is at a weekend too. If the club wanted more they should have priced a Sky midweek game more sensibly, not £30-£35….
