I'm going to make a prediction that may haunt me. I think Hunt and the team will come good this season. By that I mean top half and playing football by April that gets us excited for 26/27. Not play offs. As for today, Barnsley are a quality L1 side. They have had a stable core of good players for a few years and added quality like Vickers and McGoldrick. They will be pushing for promotion, and this was one of the worst fixtures we could have had after our first win of the season, which is why the Northampton postponement is frustrating. First 30 or so were abysmal. If we play like that too often then relegation is a genuine… More →

The reason why so many of us expected a top six finish* is because that’s what we were told we were aiming for. And the message hasn’t changed the new investor in his interview just this week saying playoffs minimum. What do you expect fans to think when our owners are saying playoffs and here we are 21st in the league 5 points from 21. And even if we didn’t believe their lies. WE ARE 21st IN THE LEAGUE AFTER 7 GAMES. *Don't think anyone expected top six finish but a play off challenge definitely

We’ve got better players than bottom 4 of the division. And we’re just not getting the best out of them for whatever reason Maybe we are slowly building something behind the scenes and will get better and stronger as we go, but I’m yet to see much that convinces me this is the case International break certainly didn’t help. Hopefully we can beat Orient and push on again. I just don’t think from what I’ve seen over the last year Hunt will take us forward. Would love to be proved wrong, just not seeing the progress

+ 1 The Board are repeatedly stating that the objective this season is the playoffs... Why are people pretending that anything less is OK...

Because what are our options? They own the club and will leave when they choose. What do you expect to do? Protest against this lot because they set expectations too high? Or acknowledge that promotion takes a few years to build and they inherited a club with broken finances and 5 contracted players. I have no idea why they are talking about the top 6 when it was never realistic, but when you look at the substance of what they're doing on and off the pitch you can see the plan to turn us around. And the time to judge would be after 3 years, not 3 months.

Tbf 5 contracted players but a fair number of ooc’s stayed on. JP, Kelvin, Dorsett, Stickland, Camara, Rushesha, Garcia - then the fringe youth as well - Sackey, JOP, Spencer, Ahmed, Kanu Prob forgetting some as well. So it wasn’t all change by any means
