The Warren Lucy comments were interesting, obviously checked himself just in time from saying what he actually wanted to say, though maybe an insight into what folk working at the club are feeling behind the scenes...

‘Attacking means you win more games’ Well there you have it, simple ay? Think we all (me certainly included) need to stop letting threads getting derailed by someone with such a simplistic outlook.

Surely nobody thinks brfcs in anyway mirrors the match going fanbase re TM? There has always been a strand of opinion on here that just doesn’t rate the bloke - it has grown to a big strand recently. But in the ‘real world’ he’s as close to bomb proof with fans as any manager we’ve had, since, perhaps, Hughes. Couple that with the very cosy situation he enjoys within the club and it’s why I don’t give the managerial position a second of thought. ‘Lord, grant me the serenity to accept...’ and all that.

If Venky’s are ‘optimum owners’ and you believe we have such an underperforming manager, surely they should’ve potted him by now, Phil?

Wouldn’t surprise me if Trybull goes back (if possible within the loan agreement), he showed a bit of dissent towards Mowbray when taken off at Stoke, and TM has questioned his training ground efforts... he missed Boxing Day for ‘personal reasons’ according to Sharpe.

And you wonder why folk ask how old you are. You obviously don’t know ‘exactly how a club should be run’ if you’d make such a juvenile and emotional approach to appointments...

Please enlighten us...

I paid for an away night game in error not releasing it was covered on my ST - I emailed ifollow@efl.com with my payment receipt of £10 as proof and in fairness they refunded it quickly.

Make that 6

Five of League 1’s games off today...

Yeah, it was missing about half the away games. 😢

I remember my well worn 91/92 season review VHS showed an interview with Newell after the game... but no game 🤷‍♂️

It’s all hypotheticals at this point as he’s well entrenched here. But I’ m not seeing much in the way of ambition from Birmingham, QPR etc, they are plodding along just like us... he’d fit in well.

I’m talking about perception within the game, not that I particularly believe he should be a front runner for Championship jobs - but as I said would it be that much of a shock if he trapped up at a Birmingham or QPR?

Much more of a name in football than GB, with a decent track record at this level - honestly think a few of you aren’t picking up that he definitely has resurrected his standing in the game. As I said, is he really worse than Garry Monk who has managed half the league?

The likes of Monk and Rowett go from Championship job to Championship job without achieving feck all, so I don’t see why TM can’t join them on the merry go round...

Certainly see him getting a Sheff Wed/QPR/Millwall/Reading/Birmingham/Huddersfield etc level job.

He’s certainly resurrected his reputation within the game, if you rate the job he’s doing or not, I could definitely see him getting another Championship gig.

Many of us certainly did, den, and that’s why panic set in with us very quickly when this lot got hold of this fantastic club...

£3 million for Savage, £5million for Bellamy, it was the mid 2000s, not the mid 1990s, they were fantastic value signings from a manager who had a real eye in those days.

There was very little organised ‘protesting’ in the ground, that was mainly done by a few hardy souls elsewhere. Spontaneous eruptions of anger was all we really saw in Ewood - Bolton, West Brom, Swansea, Wigan games - that was to be expected by any crowd.

If Accy had just meekly accepted their place in the foodchain they’d still be in non league, instead it’s not beyond the realm of possibility that we play them next season. It’s called ambition and having owners that strive to make the very best of their club.

Lads, don’t do it to yourselves, he’s been trolling since he joined.

We don’t get the local media asking actual probing questions here. ‘Pressers’ are usually just a collection of gentle throw downs like ... ’Any fresh injuries Tony?’ ’how close to turning the corner do you think you are?’ ‘do you think your performances aren’t getting the results you deserve?’ ’How impressed are you by [enter opposing manager here] ‘

Read a stat that said Watford have had more managers since Pozzo bought the club than Arsenal have had in their entire history.
