Its always great to start the season with a win but I think you're over-egging it there!

So, you have a feeling that it'll be alright? That's not very reassuring to me.

How many games? 👎

But ts just a dream I'm afraid. You're taking optimism to a new level.

This really is twaddle. If we are to mount a promotion bid then we need as many points as we can get asap. "plenty of time to find the right players"?????? I'm struggling to find the right words. if someone told me you were a club plant I'd believe them!

I really don't understand why you think there's any of either. Unless you simply want to.

Yea I know! 🤢

There have been windows where money was spent but alas where needs weren't met. However I'm prepared to believe that was down to "defenders are coming Tony" so I'll wait and and see. ie I'll believe it when I see it.

Experience hasn't taught you anything then?

So you're confident about the season and new signings, yet you don't know what's going on---so where's the optimism come from? Its unfounded isn't it? i'm worried because we knew for weeks and weeks that we needed 6 replacements --oven-ready, not youngsters and with 4 days to go we've signed one.

And nor do effin you.

I have no faith that Waggot can increase turnover. Only a genuine promotion bid will do that.

Again, no panic, merely appropriate concern.

That's an opinion , not a fact. We'll see. I hope you are right but a bit of insurance is urgently required

Its going down every day! We wanted 6 at the start of the window and the number goes down as time drifts away!

I don't think anyone is panicking as such but frustration and disappointment are being felt. We have been let down so often in transfer windows in recent times.

Typical deflective ,meaningless response from Nixon. Course we would like him! He knows nothing on this one!

Biggest con out that one. Tells us we're on a journey, as if we are gradually building up a side that can achieve something. In reality relied on 12 months loans year after year.

That would be the bees knees! A sign of real intent.

Let's hope we can keep the intensity up for the full 90 minutes. So many late lapses last season.

Whereas as we give them away.

I think you're understating there. He cost us one game on his own. He did play well at Bournemouth though. Its consistency you want with a keeper.

Pears no, the rest are OK by me.

That's a pretty strong subs squad for a middling Championship side.

Given that Venkys are going nowhere. and therefore nor is Suhail, and nor it seems is Waggot, what we need is some informal little group of 2 or 3 supporters that he meets from time to time and can talk with him. People who can tell him what the fans really think and what's needed to win some back and create new ones. Plenty of good ideas come up on this forum but there's no mechanism to do anything about them. Rovers Forum is the nearest we've got but.... One day, when/if 50+ comes in all clubs will have fan input, in the meantime Waggot is operating in a vacuum. He's not a Rovers supporter, he's not from round here, he doesn't really seem to have much clue about what's needed to rebuild this great old club. It starts at the bottom---with the fans.
