tidus_mi2 Not one to dwell on manager comments but hope we smash them again.

Current players and staff ‘probably’ not to blame for our current financial predicament apparently.

Sounds like he’s researched this really well!

Paul Simpson's pre match comments are interesting, he reckons Carlisle would only be about 6 points behind us without the points deduction, and goes on to say we're really been struggling. Maybe they've scouted the wrong team .... For the sake of the Dyscalculian (sp?) Simpson: 36+6-23 = 19 I did s...

I doubt we know the full story of who have and who haven’t been paid Bottom line is Dai has to go or we’ll be done. Points deductions, fines etc are a total waste of time. If Dai doesn’t sell we’ll automatically take one of those relegation places anyway as we’ll be no more. Every single effort from...

We’d hardly be laughing. We’d be mid table in league 1. Still a massive drop under Dai Everything is easy in hindsight. We should have sold Holmes - yes maybe but would anyone have bought him for any sort of money? I doubt it. The other players we’ve sold - Vickers, Abbey, Harris - no one had ever h...

Yep, look forward to the day when all the other clubs are made to sell their best players so they aren’t at a sporting advantage but can be sustainable without owner input Not that we would be had we sold Wing etc for a pittance. We’d just be relegated with an even worse squad. And still relying on ...

Yeah guess they are looking for a smaller club.

Poor kid, that doesn’t sound pleasant at all

Nice win in the B&B cup as reported on the other thread for anyone who hasn’t seen. Goals for Jahmari and Baragh

Tbh think they were complacent than lacking in confidence

Tbh it’s no worse than if we’d lost to Stevenage rather than beat them as would have been expected. It shouldn’t put anyone off, hopefully just encourage everyone to sort this Dai induced shit show out asap for everyone’s sake

Just read the club statement. Are they suggesting they’ll be fining Dai up to 500k?

Joke if they are expecting to see any of that

Amongst everything else, incredibly bored of this now. We’ve been made an example of and yeah all clubs agreed on the rules blah blah etc whatever

So tiresome - please let this focus Howe and co, even Dai, to just get this bloody sale done asap.

Yeah we have the quality to get out comfortably. The concern is whether heads go like they did last year or we use it to galvanise another push for the next couple of months. Obvs the latter is preferable

Not especially sure what this extra 2 points is meant to achieve but it is what it is

Will at least focus the minds again. Felt on Saturday that the team were a bit complacent, as were the fans. Also there was very little anti-dai which will kick back up again

Was thinking about the players in recent years we’ve lost before they could make an impact. Thierry Nevers is one of them. Best remembered for this ridiculous piece of football: https://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/comments/d5x011/filthy_first_touch_run_and_finish_by_thierry/ If he’d stuck with us he’d ...

The "they're down the bottom" comments very ill informed. We've been on play-off chasing form for over 2 months, and would surely be up there with a proper pre season and without a points deduction Yeah precisely, on current form, we should have expected a fairly comfortable win so it was...

The problem with Kelvin on the left is the lack of support he provided to Mola, who got the absolute run around for the first 20 mins or so (but did improve) Would like to see use swap wingers sides more often, actually get some balls into the box without having to cut back every time first. Yeah t...

I thought Kelvin was good out wide. Far better than Mukairu was. Looked a threat throughout

I don’t think he is a number 9. He’s more a Meite style wide player or a number 10. I think it’s a natural assumption he’ll be a good target man as he’s 6ft4 but that’s necessarily the case

The shrews chap was wasting as much time as possible to run the clock down so it was the last attack of the half. See it done quite a bit. Was pretending he couldn’t get the ball to sit on the line then making a fuss about Mbengue and their forward pushing each other about Tbh it was borderline boo...

No, just wondering if there was any news on the takeover of Reading FC My source told me today that things are positive. There are multiple offers that meet Dai's valuation and are (on the face of it) viable. They're still going through validation, but the preferred buyer is one who should clear EF...

1st half we looked very good going forward and I thought we'd win. But the 3rd goal knocked the stuffing out of us, and our decision making and final ball wasn't there 2nd half. Agreed I was just hoping we could get to half time without conceding. Had we done so I reckon we'd have nicked it. All th...
