I predicted we would ...... Rue The Day

Who would you have brought in up front within the wage structure?

 

Maybe we could have relaxed the wage structure with the profit from last season, £6.05m from being in this league and the thirty odd quid match day tickets? Or is the only option someone on League Two wages?

 

What would we have done next season though when we'd ponced the money away on an overrated has been?
If we'd have broken the wage structure, I'd have used it to keep scowen, Marley and our captain. The problem is though, throw 2 more forwards and hamill also wanting a bit more plus agents acting the lovely person behind the scenes, and we turn into the ***** set up that got us relegated in the first place.

 

So we're back to the same problem then. It's either peanuts or financial meltdown.

 

Haven't you mentioned this about 180 times already Nudge?

 

We need a striker & a leader in the middle of the pitch & we will stay up.

Gonna be touch & go if not, but I'm gonna support the team. We are sadly in a period of transition.
I say sadly, as it is clear this is the man that saved our club is not going to be with us. We need to be respectful of this. Whatever Patrick does will be with the benefit all the facts & with the club's interests at it's heart. None of us can see the future. We can see the past.

 

To be honest we had all summer to sign strikers we signed about 20 no 10s and sold Stefan Payne to shrewsbury and replaced him with a loanee in ugbo who isnt as good as payne. It was a terrible window hecky said they is no point bringing in players for the sake of it we want people to improve the squad. I do think a few of the signings have improved the squad one bit.

 

This ^^ if you shipping 3 goals in away at BOLTON ffs then you have problems. The way yiadom was beat for the 3rd was not good enough either. Jackson getting injured was a big loss for us imo he had just formed a good partnership with Lindsay.

 

But you obviously haven't read the initial post .....
WE ARE OFTEN MURDERING OTHER TEAMS
.... and have been doing so since about the 3rd or 4th match of the season.

But as I keep saying - if a team dominates play but dosent score - then the other team picks up on this - confidence builds and they go on to score.
Ipswich at home was a real prime example of this.

We have a very good defence- we have some really good players in defence - but they can't win a game on their own in a team with a powder puff strike force.

 

And that's not saying the strikers are poor - because they're not - but we need options to mix and match - which we haven't got.

 

Our defenders are conceding soft and easily avoidable goals every single week. We’ve been awful at the back since January.

It’s getting to the stage where to win a game we have to score at least two goals and often more.

 

How about this for a theory, and giving Patrick some credit.

He knows the club has to be sold, and he knows that he doesn't have too much time to sell it. This is why he makes a large transfer profit, and instead of blowing it all on players, judiciously keeps it in the club to improve the attractiveness of the club for potential buyers. It might lead to a season of transition, but this ensures the widest range of potential buyers are interested and secures the long term future of the club.

We don't know the internal workings of the club, we do know he has the best interests of the club at heart. There's a longer term plan than just one season (or one half of a season really, since that's all that we've seen so far).
