A couple of players and a change in application and we won’t be far off. 1 in 9 actually. 4 wins, 4 draws, 1 defeat.

Having blind faith just because we've got new owners that we assume will be better than the last ones is something we've been guilty of before. Also, I'm not sure Thompson "lost" his job, did he? Wasn't he offered his old job back when we decided to go with Mellon, but had a strop and left because he wanted the managers job? Which kind of suggests the club think he's done alright on the recruitment front. Which is a bit concerning... Ofcourse they aren't beyond question but they won't get everything right. That's the nature of the beast. David Unsworth like the previous 22 people to take charge of the 1st team didn't win a promotion a few of them had pedigree too.

The pessimists will say it’s against teams that are poor, but no team is good in this league. It’s all much of a muchness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, they are blinkered due to the Tranmere link. Also, some of the opinion / predictions are way off the mark more often than not. Andy is the most balanced, has he said anything on MM ? He’s a great appointment and I don’t think we could have asked for much better… he’s done what we want to achieve with a similar club.

But we seem to be at least trying to pass it more since he’s come in. It’s it early to say what his playing style is.

Monty Burns Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 ok lve just watched that three times and totally changed my plans for today. that was absolutely amazing. there was a double assasination attempt on Wazza which l'm glad happened and l hope people can put that to bed now. genuinely openly pleading with all that to stop. we have got an absolute star there, but he 33. to describe him as the 'most off the cuff' man you can get makes me tingly for him. formatiions are an obsession in our fan base, but that was dealt with excellently. l sometimes take lectures for my friends. actually, used to lve not done it for a while bc l pushed them sway but there l go again l digress. what lm trying to say is MM is an expert in his field. we are all set to go now and three times he praised the fanbase and asked for it to be as good as we can be so l hope we all try and do that. all the questions we important in their own way and all l really disagreed with was the music one. the best boyband ever is 5ive.

southwaleslatic Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Operative word being BEEN, he/team need to start going in the right direction .If they continue to play as they did against Newport they ain't getting out of this league anytime soon. It was dire , zero willingness to win a game. It was like a training session . 2 strikers who couldn't be arsed, no midfield and a hesitant goalie who won't kick a ball.

League one forever Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 I’ve said it loads of times, but the only style I care about is a winning one. Just win games. Mellons record suggests he’s good at that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
