    I am thinking of the bigger picture - with a bit of investment (and good fortune) we could have continued to challenge for the top six.

    That won't happen now. Opportunity well and truly wasted. In my opinion of course.

    Surely the replacement for Winnall was already at the club. It was always meant to be Bradshaw.

    So we were meant to get to February with one permanent first team striker.

    £6 million, he's stated that on a few occasions.

    You need to find a club prepared to spend money it hasn't got.

    If you need some help I can give you some pointers.

    Chicken and egg though innit.

    You start and I'll start, but if you don't start I'm not starting.

    Utter rubbish...Conan , what makes it worse is that you're a bright enough lad to be well aware you've only posted it to be controversial .

    Can anybody enlighten me why,when anyone posts anything that goes against the grain the reply is either go and watch another club ...stay away...bye...we won't miss you...are you a blade in disguise ( not a personalised attack on any one ) it just amazes me that because your own opinions no matter who you are have anymore right than the other
    You only need look around oakwell and see the empty seats that stick out like an sore thumb...yes some are empty because of the price of football in general....however a lot are down to people getting despondent with what takes place. Whilst I thought whiteys post gave a good account of the present situation. I for one believe the club does on many occasions , shoot it's self in the foot too many times. Whilst at the same time it's policy for erring on the side of caution does hold its self back and in many cases this is seen has a lack of ambition.
    How do you measure ambition in its full glory whilst facing the reality of the situation and thus keeping balance and every one happy, well better men than me have tried.
    Every ones opinion is worth listening to and is equally as important. no matter if they go against your beliefs. Why tell folk to stay away then in the next breath criticise those that do to strengthen the argument of why....we can't afford wages small club. small fan Base. fair weather supporters etc.
    Maybe if we as a whole asked why they felt like they do and why they came to that conclusion we might then address those concerns
    we might just see the way forward. instead of dismissing those opinions you don't agree with.
    Sorry if I'm rambling...

    It's the constant repetition and overreaction. Very boring and very annoying.

    I've tried about 3 different replies but I'm struggling as I don't actually know what you are on about. Being aware of it doesn't make the sun shine or me less tired unfortunately.
