    Bring on the new owners please. Nothing but respect for everything that cryne has done. We are now are league 1 club punching above our weight. I dream of more so let's at least give it a go. Rather fail trying than never give it a go.

    Aye, but who ever owns the club we need to give Hecky time and cut the players some slack. Let's not forget through no fault of his own he's having to fashion a new team on the hoof in an ultra competitive division. There's going to be ups and some very low downs.

    All that you say here is wrong.
    Knee jerk reaction.
    Stay strong.

    On the face of our two away games it would appear so, but the home games have yielded 2 wins and a loss in a game we did more than enough to win.

    We are punching above our weight and we will do very well just to stay up this season, investment would be more than welcome but I worry that new owners might not be willing to give Hecky the time he needs.

    If Hecky keeps us up this season it will be a much greater achievement than the promotion season in my opinion

    Spot on. The aim this season is to hope 3 teams are worse than us. If this is our long term goal then may as well go down.

    Nonsense? No its called opinion. Or did you genuinely not understand? Otherwise i think what you mean is "i disagree"

    I don't think we look relegation fodder. We've looked ok at home, needing to polish up a little maybe.

    We weren't ready at Bristol, and played awfully yesterday. A new young side is going to have a bad game.

    As I've always said I'll judge after ten or twelve games.

    I agree its early but i don't think we looked ok at home. We were awful second half against Ipswich and holding on against forest who were much the better side but didn't take chances.

    That's why I said ok. At times against Ipswich first half they were great but missed chances, second half not so great but we didn't concede many clear chances, they took both.

    Overall not awful. Forest, similar
