    I think we've enough in the tank. As much as we weren't at our best on Saturday and Tuesday, I saw a real resilience.

    We never panicked, and kept passing the ball. We are very good. I've every faith in what we've got.

    But we have received bids for Lindsay, Moore, and Pinnock which was confirmed by GG. Recevied bids for Thiam too if I'm not mistaken

    This particular poster has carried out a particular crusade about how useless Isgrove is. Any opportunity to find fault from that direction though. :rolleyes:

    You're saying we've received bids someone else saying not. What we can say is that if there were any bids they can't have matched our valuations or they'd have been off.

    Bet he's going tomorrow and intending to give the club 300+ quid in April. Unlike some. Ahem.

    Like it or not, the club will always value those who stump up the cash over those who send virtual good wishes.

    However you look at it, we would not have held firm before... Do you genuinely not think we have made progress? I for one, enjoyed a boring transfer window relatively

    Hmmm, so leaving aside the fact that I'd been attending every home game for a good ten years at least before you started watching them can you explain the following.....

    You stated the whole squad was s***e and might well get us relegated. That the whole squad should be rotated out within 3 transfer windows. That Isgrove was utterly useless.
    And then lend your support to a post attacking the club for STRENGTHENING our rivals by selling two of our players.

    Don't forget we rejected a bid for Marley Watkins because it "didn't turn the owner's head". We might have received a £500k bid for Lindsay but value him at three times that. That's easy to reject.

    Bit hard to watch a club when you haven't come into existence. By that logic I'll be watching them for a good ten years or more after you've stopped. A lot more probably.

    The squad did get us relegated. I didn't say the squad should be rotated because that wouldn't make sense. I said it should be replaced in three windows and it should if we have any ambitions of establishing ourselves in the division above.

    As for Isgrove, how can you defend a player with 47 starts since 2012? It's like me turning up for work for seven days a year.

    Unless someone "official" comes out and names the club that bid and the size of that bid, you know like every other club does and have no problem with
    So they are verifiable.
    Then there were no bids for any of our players as far as i am concerned

    Ganaye did -

    just said:

    "Bonjour Benny- just seen that conan talking rubbish again, just want to let you know that the bids were quite big for our players but me and Danny boy told em where to go.

    P.S: missing Barnsley already, Nice is a shithole"

    I don't think Danny boy had any say in it did he? He wanted to keep both moncur and potts

    Bit hard to watch a club when life takes you to another country, conan, so stop with that pathetic better fan tack, it doesn't wash.

    As for Isgrove, I'm not defending his usefulness. He's been a big disappointment though not deliberately as you seem to revel in suggesting.

    You did say the squad was rubbish and needed shipping out in three windows. So how do you justify criticising the club when some of them are?

    GG in his interview said we had turned down numerous bids.
