What concerns me

Thu Aug 13, 2026 7:47 am

Rolls Ramsey...when fit and rhinnomota Robertson and turbulence and so
Times Rubin were our midfield when we were relegated
The first three are gone..Wintle was out on loan
Those three have been replaced by Joel col will and moylan

Up front We had Salech and Robinson
On the wings Willock and Tanner
The defence looks weak.
The side has t been improved much from the side that was relegated
We have a much better manager but that will only carry us so far.
I am concerned

If we are 3 games in come the end of the window and 9 points up without signing anyone else you just know people will be talking about promotion because that's how mad some are on the other hand if we are 3 games in and 0 points without 4 new players I'd say the melt downs will begin with the reasons that have been stated for nearly 3 months by the end of this window, that's what is football fans do :lol:

Pretty normal for us or any other club, to be honest!

The question is whether he's being backed by the club to get the players he needs.

Don't buy the argument that the squad is the same or weaker than when we went down.

Ashford, Bagan, Robertson, Tanner, etc have all become better players since then by working with a good manager. We have also added Trott and Osho since then, with more to come.

Yes we need additions and will get them.

Didn't say we were weaker ned and I did praise the manager, but they were part of the squad that took us down and osho has a mistake or 2 in him ...and our defence looked suspect in Div 1 ... we are in the championship now and 3 centre backs out.... and i am suspicious about what we will get in, don't trust Tan Dalman and Choo

Totally agree with you, my thoughts exactly.

We also have a defined way of playing under BBM, which all the players have bought into and flourished as a result. In turn this has helped to boost their confidence and self-belief.

How some perceive the relegation team to be better beggars belief. Kanga, El Ghazi, Meite, a crocked Ramsey etc, need I go on lol

We might end up agreeing on something if we're not careful!

We have a few things going for us that we haven’t had for years, a decent manager, momentum and unity in the squad.
These things can take you far in football, the latter two can be broken by signing the wrong players or panic buying like OGS did. I’m sure we will get the right players we need…… :bluescarf:
