    Remember when we sold our best-in-league defence and our top scorer?

    Funny how we’re leaking goals and not scoring any.

    What’s the point?

    Prepare for a hard season whinging gets us nowhere. It is what it is. While ever we dismantle our team every time we get promoted it is going to be hard to survive. That’s the reality.

    Get ready for all the club men to come out and defend everyone and say its just a meaningless cup game.... the board have a lot to answer for. How many player's we sign 12? And look how paper thin squad still is!!!

    What were our excuses for losing to lower league opposition in previous seasons?

    I would take 4th bottom now. I’d be happy with that and see it as a great triumph given our inexperience.. that’s not me reacting to this it’s pretty meaningless in the bigger scheme of things but it’s naive to see anything other than a difficult transitional season. It will be a far greater achievement for Daniel to keep us up than it was to get us promoted.

    Agree its likely to be a tough season. Getting meaningless cup competitions out the way early doors will give us a better chance of staying up imo.

    I take the point. But winning is a habit as is losing.

    We've seriously weakened the team with the players we voluntarily let go and it started with Brad Potts. Daniel is not a magician and can't simply summon up the defensive core we had.

    A performance as embarrassing and as shameful as the behaviour of some of our fans recently.

    Up there with Chester home cup game when we drew 0-0 but could have lost by a handful.

    I'm sure a few lads will post a few empty words on their social media though to sweet talk fans.

    I think a lot of people are forgetting that this window was the best in the club's history!!! according to our new CEO.

    Perhaps the jury is still out but I can’t disagree with him yet.

    Half of the BBS were jerking off when we were signing all of this inexperience. Some of them may well have potential, but it will be a couple of years before it comes to fruition for the majority. They will be sold when we come back up and the whole thing will be repeated *again*.

    Am I right in thinking you’re in the RAF?
    If so did you know Robert Matson(also in RAF based at Waddington)?

    Two weeks ago best window ever,
    One week ago all was well, some even predicting being dark horses
    This week we are crappier than crap

    Rather give it a dozen games before passing judgement but either way looks like it’s gonna be a rollercoaster season on here.
