Thread titles from last couple of weeks....

If I was being positive
Same old, no lessons learnt,
Neil’s assurances,
If I was being negative,
Whatever the question is,
Trouble and strife,
No firepower,
Venkys or Hemmings,
Hemmings out,

Other teams supporters reading our forum must think we are the most pessimistic bunch on the planet, chill out and lighten up !
If you want a moan, wait till after the first ten games .
 
I think we were all a little down yesterday, but trying very hard to look on the positive note regarding our current squad:

Assuming we didn't have them and they were at a rival club - If we had signed Pearson, Browne and Davies in this window we'd all be delighted and will have spent over £20m.

Lets just remember what we do have here... although I am too disappointed that we didnt add the GK, LB and FW that we needed, especially given ANs statement that we needed to strengthen AFTER we signed Bayliss. The cover for LB is the worst i guess having let Josh Earl go on loan.
 
Not for you to tell people what they can and can't post.

If people want to be 'negative' then they can be. It's a forum with a wide range of differing opinions.

Just asking, why do you think moaners need to wait ten games in particular?

You can't judge positions in the league table until after the first 10 in my opinion. IF its looking bleak after 10 games, then drastic actions start being considered (Sacking AN)

Why sack AN? it aint his fault the owner didn't back him (again)

I personally think AN is a good manager and wouldn't want to see him go but that's the nature of football now. Team is underperforming correlates with sacking the manager

Where did I say “can or can’t post” ?????
Ps, don’t contradict yourself .
 
We have some lads who are the envy of other teams. We also have too many in the squad who aren't good enough to create a promotion push IMO. Ten games not necessarily - if we lose as many as we did at the start of last season the push for 50 points is on.

We'll have enough to survive which is about right looking at the summer transfer policy.
 
any poster who sees no wrong in how the clubs is run, and in tricky circumstances calls for the managers head - then they should be banned from here for life!

Pretty obvious I’d think,
To see how the team is performing !!!

I get that, I'm just wondering why ten? Is it because ten is a rounded up number? Why not nine or eleven? What if we've lost the first eight games? Do we wait to lose another two, so that it gives us a nice, round ten defeats or something?

Thing is most of us are generally quite positive. It's not as though all the pissed off posts are coming from Ando and Bowland.

Oddly enough I know Ando very well, he once worked on my estate
He is probably one of the most optimistic and upbeat people you could ever wish to meet
Maybe it’s just (as in the song) the years of hope have taken their toll
 
It seems you have to be exclusively one side or the other at the moment. If you negative your not backing the players, if your positive your part of the "keep the faith" brigade

I'd say for the most part everyone is in the same boat. All very disappointed with the transfer window but just feels there's an element of self sabotage if you don't look for some positives. Still have a decent squad with some good players. Lets just see what happens tomorrow!
