BBM’s Fault

Thu Sep 03, 2026 6:24 am

Said he was fully backed. That means the transfer window fiasco is on him. He said we’re ‘not naive’, well Barry I think you are if you think you can survive in this division with one striker and a threadbare squad. Very disappointed in him and his support team.

His honeymoon period is over for me now, globally we couldn’t find players to improve the squad…. That is on him.

Don’t want it to happen and would be so happy if I’m wrong, but the lack of quality in the final third will cost us. Played four no wins, 3 points from 12.

BBM's decision, not fault.

We finally have a manager calling the shots by the sound of it. If its not right, then saying no sometimes is a good decision.

Anyone remember the Mietes, Kangas, Etetes of recent years?

If you make a decision and it proves to be wrong, who's fault is it.. hopefully I'm wrong...

BBM has chosen to have this squad and players, the results 3 from 12 points is on him. I don't want to be right but have watched this division for years, Sat/Tues/Sat/Tues.

Look at last night, Moylan looked tired as did Rubin and Ashford. Not dead out on their feet but a yard off the pace.

Salech not performing at all... who do we bring on to help old Robbo (he didn't touch the ball)

I also think away from home we need to have two sitting midfielders not Robertson on his own.

You're one of the many who'll turn on him this season regardless. The probability that BBM does well to most on this forum is slim-to-none.

What'll be next then? A quick hire and someone who'll recruit the available shite that BBM said no to?

THEN we are back in the doom loop.

He said "he wanted certain players in but it didn't happen"


That's it, so it's either he wasn't backed to get them players he was wanting or we couldn't afford them money talks club irrelevant. The club maybe said him or him and he said no so they wouldn't be his players that's a simple fact. There is no other reason.

How is that his fault :lol:

If people are turning on bbm after 1 disappointing week dont moan when he walks away and were back to playing hoofball with overpaid journey men

Bbms quote last night "set backs are part of the journey"

Ride out the bad times and trust in the process we will be ok this season

We didn't look a league one team that's really harsh. We were naive but played decent stuff at times.

The lack of depth to the squad will impact on us though

So let's get this right according to some the board chose what players to go for and bbm said no? So from beginning of window bbm as been spinning a yarn about sighnings to cover the arses of the board even before approaches were made? Ok so bbm is either lying or simply a yes man.....makes sense ;)
Ps who chose the two players we brought in must be good buisness by the board

Didn't think we looked like a league one team either, it looked like an off night to me. Of the 4 games I think we where lucky to get a point against Wrexham but really should have turned Derby and Sheffield over. Was far more disappointed with the Sheffield result than this one, playing great and getting a point is soul destroying, being rubbish and losing is what it is

You can only find things out in real time, and BBM is finding stuff out. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts. I will be disappointed if when away, he continues with the very lightweight and uber-attacking midfield 3.

Colwill jnr needs to add a bit of bite on Saturday, with his brother dropping a bit more. Ashford is too attacking.

I think BBM was always giving this group a good chance to prove themselves. The fans just got a bit carried away; we always do. Survival is all we need, and in the summer, with a tear in the eye, wave bye-bye to Chambers, Turnbull, Robinson, and Willock and all that salary
