Enthusiasm

Enthusiasm

I was enthusiastic for the new season from about 17:00 right up until 20:12 yesterday. I came off laughing at how bad we are.

This morning I'm in shock with what Lowe and Whatmough have said about last night's game. I can only assume that us not conceding goals is our aim this season with what they are saying.

No it’s the same as last season, we set up not to lose, there is no instruction to try to win and that’s why the players are so frustrated it goes against all their competitive instincts.
 
Genuine question…can anyone remember the last time (win/lose home/away) when you came off a North End game having felt like you’ve been ‘entertained?
 
did anyone hand on heart expect any different from trev or his outfit he was hardly going to do a jack walker, he could have done but chose not to this is the product of years of malaise ground investment/team investment coaching the lot all done on the cheap to satisfy who
 
I’m sorry I didn’t see the enthusiasm thread because I could have added to that….similar feelings.
 
this is more exciting

I will repeat this again...many years ago i was told by someone in the know that Trev was a horses man ..he loved them and would do nearly anything to try to have success. Whilst he liked PNE he saw it as a sort of step son that he cared for but didn't have the same affection.
So...I was always told that once Trev was gone his Son was way more into PNE than horses so the balance would change.... I'm sure that Craig is more football focused than his late Dad but yet i get a feeling he is being held back...
Its a real shame because with a bit of effort the Hemmings could be held in the highest terms at our club for generations.

Yes. Heard the same thing about CH from a very reliable source.

All utter bollocks now.
 
First summer in years I haven’t really taken an interest in all things PNE, there’s been many a closed season I’ve thought not bothering but then gone and got the ST. This season whilst ridsdale and Lowe are here I’m totally not bothered the club and the running is conference at best and has been for years, switched the game off last night after an hour we’ve no gameplan other than lump it long. We’ve been fortunate in years gone by there’s been quite a few teams that you expect to beat to get the points for another season at this level. Don’t see goals wins or survival this time around under current set up

One of the extended family told me exactly the same many years ago, thinking it about it now I’m starting to feel very old - we used to stand together on the Town End 30 years ago and it feels like yesterday!

So what you’re telling us is that we were the ginger step son he tolerated.
