There won’t be any relegation this year as at least 6 teams will go belly up I’m guessing.


I really hope we are not banking on this as it would be an absolute folly

I think 58 years of watching Town non stop gives me a degree of insight ,What makes you the fountain of all knowledge.


If you check my posts, I don't think you will find many where I profess to be the 'fountain of all knowledge'.  As for your 58 years of watching Town, doesn't beat my 69 years does it?

1 game gone and it’s Armageddon ffs. Get a grip.
Players not played in six months, half been signed in last three weeks.

We lose 1-0 against a settled team that have all played together for a season before and it’s meltdown.

Seriously get a bloody grip.

Been hearing that phrase for about 15 years. Yeah i know, we are re-building...


But Ollie is rebuilding with us. Because of the pandemic he never had chance to fully assess his squad for the later part of last season. As such several players left who had to be replaced. The squad we have now will take time to gel and to fully understand the managers philosophy and what he expects of the players. This is particularly true for the non league players who have gone from part time to full training.

Which has been happening every season since what feels like forever. I'm not disputing the problems we have had and i fully understand. It's just that at the beginning of every season, someone says "be patient".

We've been nothing but patient as a set of fans, and still we haven't finished above mid table League 2 since Slade MK1. We've had more relegation battles than i care to remember, and 6 years in non league. I'd really like to see us have a season where we win more than we lose, and play a bit of decent footy along the way.

What Saturday showed was the penny pinching at the club. Walsall put out a team of experienced pros that were all at the club last season, we couldn't keep hold of anyone going out of contract except Wright and now have a team of kids/loanees and injury prone seniors. Out of Ollies hands to a degree but as others have said where are these hair back standup on players (not his description we were promised), hell can't even compete with Port Fale

I will reserve judgment until the first 5 games have been completed. Will have a better idea on how we are shaping up by then
