Re: The idiots of Twitter thread

He only says what most of us are thinking privately, difference is we are not tweeting about it hourly. Sounds like you may also need to seek help if you feel the same as hin. Do you think 10 days out from the start of the season our summer transfer business has been good? We are still ridiculously...

Re: The idiots of Twitter thread

The danger is (and you would hope the new owners are wise enough to it) that the views of the keyboard warrior kids on Twatter come across as the views of the wider fanbase - which they are clearly not. Maybe because it is school summer holidays they are being more vocal than normal... but it is pai...

Re: New Owners - Redwood Watch

Just the kids on Twitter being little entitled football fans - expecting there to be a new signing announcement every day. A bit like a spoilt kid at Christmas, will unwrap one present - throw it to one side and ask where the next one is. If there’s a signing announced today watch that happen… On a ...

Re: Noel Hunt Confrimed

Really can't get my head around our fans that celebrate the news of Selles getting sacked. His time with us with the circumstances was nothing short of top drawer, leaving us in a PO position and sacrificing his own wages. For me, it is a shame he never got given time there to succeed and hope he go...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Leyton Orient (a)

Let the result and performance sink in, for what was a complete waste of a Saturday visiting east London for such an abject performance. One obvious frustration that I haven’t seen picked up is Campbell was at fault for BOTH goals. He needlessly lost possession for the first by not playing the ball ...

Re: MATCHWATCH : Blackpool (h)

Taken a few days to let the performance sink in. Massive overreaction imo. I didn’t see hardly any/ if any differences in that first half performance vs a Selles side in terms of set-up, build up etc. Under Selles we played a lot of those long balls from defenders with the aim to win the second ball...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Dellor said to him something like, but your relationship with Selles is good now? And Holmes largely swerved the question and talked about just being professional and getting on with doing his job. It spoke volumes. My impression was there is no love lost between them and it’s all about being profe...

Re: Confrimed - Abbey and Holmes going

Obviously not ideal losing players, but elephant in the room, look at the players we have lost in the past during Dai's tenure on a free where we could of got a fee for them (Richards, Swift, Laurent, Joao, Meite). Now I know we are getting minimal fees here (but we obviously need the cash to cover ...

If Georgey Puscas can bang a hattrick at the JJB which turned one of the most drab away days into a frenzy then anything can happen. Also love that it was the ground that Sir Steve refers back to - when we lost last game of season and they went up in 04/05, the catalyst for the 05/06 'bottle this fe...

So much hype around this signing, but lets be honest - he has underwhelmed and hasn't earned a starting spot and since he has lost his starting spot we have seen our recent upturn in form.

Re: MATCHWATCH : Brighton & Hove Albion U21 (a)

Absolute toothless display, like many after the first 10 mins I thought it was just a matter of time. But those ten mins must have gone to the players heads and they were clearly just treating it as a training match thinking it would be a given we would eventually score. We didn't, we got sloppy and...
