Hi Al pne fans. Just a reality check here from a fellow season ticket holder. I agree with many of the fans words and beliefs noted but my view hasn't changed for the last few seasons--here it comes.
1 We are a very average ability team playing close to our best in a tough league. Other teams in our league often underperform leading to big lows and (apart from a few) anyone can beat anyone on the day.
2 Our strengths are togetherness players knowing they can move to better things with hard work or getting a kick when they beat bigger clubs a v good manager and good moral.
More to come!!
 
3 We need to understand that many teams in our league possess great skillfull players that pass v well move quickly have have an ability to find their men in dangerous places - efficiently. That's why in some games the fans are frustrated when it seems we are being passed off the park.
4 Can we get into the play offs and get promoted yes. But only if........
We get a bit more luck.
Avoid injuries. Keep finding rare gems like Maguire - as we are never going to spend under Hemmings.
Our manager (who is doing miracles) keeps believing and finds new ways to counteract opposition when they find our weaknesses and reenergise the team.
And of course fans back their team who have again over performed again this season, don't single out players like maguire, when it's clear the whole teams struggling. But making sure we as fans expect the players to work hard and when players slack we tell them during the game??
 
Finally I will say we'll done to those fans who clap off the team and encourage them when it's clear we're struggling. It's hard to watch pne sometimes. Should we grumble and make the team know it - yes the need a prod and we still pay their wages. ??
 
Replying to the above posts.

If we continue with the same type of financing of players then it can only lead to relegation.

Maguire is a Midget Gem. They're not rare and they're not as good as they used to be. Very over rated. Sports Mixtures are much better !

Yes cheer them on during the game but let them have it at the end if they haven't provided the goods. Can't see anything wrong with that.

Yes we have over performed given our budget but with an owner like TH, we'll be having similar conversations until we slide into League One .

IMHO, there is only one reason that TH would want PNE in the Premier League and that's to sell it. He has no desire to see them promoted as that would mean wholesale changes to the signings and wage structure of the Club.

You can still buy Lyons midget gems which are the same as they have always been. Sports mix are pretty good though.
