    Is that the question? No one is beyond criticism, no one.</p>

    No doubt YN incessant ramblings hold some truth and reflect the opinions of quite a few supporters. He does take it too far but he is not alone.</p>

    The blind faith clubs just as vociferous diatribe is also a step or two beyond common sense at times.</p>

    We need maybe 3 new signings..striker, keeper, midfield perhaps even centre half in order to limit the risk of relegation. AR, GS et al know this. It just that they are probably trying to get as much value for as little money as possible. </p>

    We needed to strengthen last january, when in a strong position for automatic promotion, we effectively weekened. That almost cost us promotion and despite only winning 2 league games in the last 12 we managed to scrape through the play offs.</p>

    Maybe the management team are dicing with the possibility that this squad may just survive for a season??</p>

    Maybe PC has offered money for signings but GS wants the club to stand up on its own?</p>

    Maybe signings are in the pipeline but just not sealed yet?</p>

    I guess what I am trying to say is lighten up. Everyone is entitled to voice their opinion and non of you (or me) is 100% right.</p>

    My opinion for what its worth is that we should have done more by now. The situation is a public relations **** up. We have failed to capitalise on the impetous from Cardiff. An early signing of someone like Chopra would have done us a world of good...no money right? well that may or may not be true[​IMG]</p>

    we dont want any of your reasonable common sense postings on here</p>

    Much better to have the posts from the extremes like Nudger at one end  and Tykeman at  the other to give us something to laugh at in dispair</p>

    Answers to your post....................

    No doubt YN incessant ramblings hold some truth and reflect the opinions of quite a few supporters. He does take it too far but he is not alone.
    Answer
    Maybe i take it too far as far as you are concerned, but without passion football is dead. I tell it how i see it. I don't lie.


    We need maybe 3 new signings..striker, keeper, midfield perhaps even centre half in order to limit the risk of relegation. AR, GS et al know this.
    Answer
    Do they know this....I'm begining to think that they don't

    We needed to strengthen last january, when in a strong position for automatic promotion, we effectively weekened. That almost cost us promotion and despite only winning 2 league games in the last 12 we managed to scrape through the play offs.
    Answer
    Yes yer right - and that is my fear, we were poor last year but we scraped promtion and this season we are starting with a smaller squad in a higher league

    Maybe the management team are dicing with the possibility that this squad may just survive for a season??
    Answer
    But what sort of gamble is this??? Its not nice for the fans to even think about this. We should be adding a few players and GS should be saying we are looking at the top 6 for next season. It may be ****** but he is selling the club by doing this and consequebtly putting bums on seats.

    Maybe PC has offered money for signings but GS wants the club to stand up on its own?
    Answer
    Something is happening behind the scenes that is not being let out. GS said at a meeting I attended last season that they were offering AR money for players and he was refusing it

    Maybe signings are in the pipeline but just not sealed yet?
    Answer
    Lets hope so.

    I guess what I am trying to say is lighten up. Everyone is entitled to voice their opinion and non of you (or me) is 100% right.
    Answer
    No, this message board is about debate / argument or what ever you want to call it. Without this the message board is dead.

    My opinion for what its worth is that we should have done more by now. The situation is a public relations **** up. We have failed to capitalise on the impetous from Cardiff. An early signing of someone like Chopra would have done us a world of good
    Answer
    Agree strongly

    Oh aye, forgot to say...........

    ....agreed on all except the Nudger going too far bit. He's passionate and I enjoy how wound up everyone gets about it.

    Anyway I reckon we're saving our cash for loan signings and they'll be better than anyone we could get on contract. At our level it works just fine.

    Agree there

    We need 3 players. A new striker, keeper and midfielder...</p>

    But wouldnt we need to get rid of one striker if we were to bring in one, maybe Wright or Richards?</p>

    To me YN is not passionate, for me passion is a positive force, YN is depressive and negative, not something thats going to get you anywhere.

    No, thats delusion.

    I can say I want us to be European Champions in 3 years, but it gets us no where.

    Well that's down to your definition of passion.

    Which is wrong.
