....but if they do then more and more of us should step up to give our opinions to give him and his team a wider view of overall fan opinion. Personally I am right behind him and the new regime. I feel like we have a genuine change of direction, a plan and I feel more positive about the future than I have for a long time. We have a team with plenty of youngsters and our academy seems to be producing good talent (Walton, Bree, Smith, Templeton) that can strengthen the team and if they are really very good we seem to have more business sense now to get a fair fee and add-ons (Holgate being the perfect example). I also feel we have recruited well in Mawson, Roberts. Smith may also prove to be a really shrewd piece of business, we'll have to see. We already had some really good players in Scowen, Hourihane etc . I like others wish we didn't have so many loans already but believe our loans split into two groups. The 'try before you buy players' such as Wilkinson and the 'only way we can get them to play for us for a bit' brigade such as Pearson and Crowley, so I have learned to accept that strategy and see how it works out. I'd rather have Pearson on loan than not at all. I was not overly devastated after Shrewsbury nor overly delighted after Swindon. Both results could have been reversed. The only game to get my blood boiling this season was Rochdale, when, in my opinion we were just dog awful. Thankfully a plant pot kept me light hearted. I really enjoyed the Everton game and felt proud of my team that night. So I'm getting behind LJ and the boys come what may and I think we are better than last year. I think we can make the play-offs and I think we will get better the more we play together. Us fans really do play a part too. When the atmosphere is buzzing it really seems to make a difference to the team and to our collective enjoyment of the afternoon/evening. A football season is always a bumpy ride. That's why we love it. Maybe now we know our opinions are read by our club we should take a little bit more responsibility about what we say. The overreaction seems absurd at times but I also accept everyone is entitled to their opinion. COYR and onwards to Blackpool.
My concern would be if any professional paid attention (or too much at least to the views expressed on here). By its nature a forum will have multiple personalities, polar opposite opinions, but almost always expressed by highly passionate individuals. This leads to a wide spectrum of often emotive postings. I'll be pissed off when we lose and happy when we win. I won't really be thinking of long term plans, how we are doing commercially, or if things in training are going well. That's the managers and boards job.
I totally understand why they would. Times have changed. The ones who don't accept fan forums and social media, will fail to connect. How they use the info is a different kettle of fish. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Agreed. **** lovely person jism frisnik. Incidentally, if this Walton kid isn't called John Boy someone needs a word with his mam and dad.

They've always read the forum, it's nowt new. So no point folk trying to become all nicey nice now, our cards are already marked. I'll continue to post as I always have, honestly, which you'd hope they'd prefer/appreciate rather than blowing smoke up their arses for charging best part of 30 quid to watch LJ drop your best striker and then change it only to then declare he got it right. *waves at LJ with big grin* Hi Lee.
Alot of players do and the ****ter. I can remember wisemans bird ranting at anyone who said their scott was *****.
