BlueButterFly is a troll, I've learnt to take his threads with a pinch of salt as it seems all he ever does is try to be controversial and get a reaction.

I think recruitment has gone wrong this year. We're a little stronger than last season imo, but not much. DC stated that he was looking to get 10 or 11 in, that he knew the positions he was recruiting for, and he had 3 prioritised targets for each position. I know there is still time, but I reckon only Sercombe, Nichols and the goalies are on that list of 30+ players. Think it's very difficult to judge how we'll get on this season, especially with 4 more still to come in, but I agree with this completely. And that's not a slight on anyone at the club in particular, I just think we've been taken by surprise by the money flying around in L1 this summer.

I really do hope you optimistic lot are right! Otherwise you've got a long way to fall! Personally I'm desperate for a top notch striker but I suppose 91 other football league teams are too! I just don't see where the consistent goals are coming from apart from Bodin. Really need a couple of wide men and of course mr 23 page thread at the back-🙈 ffs! What are you talking about ? Long way to fall ? Jeez it's ok for super negative posts but not super dooper, rose tinted, over the top , tongue in cheek , positive posts ? Oh no I've been and done it now haven't I , how will I ever show my face at the mem again if we don't manage an unbeaten season and don't run away with the league! Lighten up for f**k sake !!!!!

I'm in the middle at the moment. I think we're probably a little stronger than when we ended last season.
A couple more quality signings and we'll be right up there!

'Otherwise you've got a long way to fall'? Well I suppose if we're all as emotionally fragile as you seem to think we are, but personally I will be able to cope with life if I'm wrong on this, but thanks for the concern. . Oh come off it don't take it personally you know what I'm saying!

Totally agree with that . I was watered up last night in here but reading back a post I wrote about DC being very similar to Fergy I've got to say I still feel like that today in the cold light of day. He builds a foundation which gets success then just changes a little bit here and there each season to keep things fresh and keep the hunger there. I trust him to do the same this summer and we'll push on again. or maybe he hasn't got a lot to spend that's why he only tinkers a little bit,come on ferguson...you been on the pop again today 5 full seasons as manager and 4 promotions. I haven't got the time to check fergies record after 5 seasons but I know he won a lot early on and continued to do that. Also you can tinker and change your squad about whether your budget is increased or not. DC can see what's right and what needs changing that's the difference between a top manager and an average or poor one.

I think we will do alright with our current squad. Similar to last year but just squeezing the playoffs.
A winger, a left sided defender and another striker and I think we will be punching towards the autos. Not entirely optimistic they will all come in but hopeful of at least one.

We are, in the main, grownups and don't need to be insulated from possible disappointments by people like you. If all you meant was that you don't see us doing that well then say that, don't add the bit telling us so called rose tinters that we shouldn't get our hopes up or we might be in for a big fall like we're 5 years old.

Well i really hope all the optimists are right and we do well. I feel there are others that feel a bit like i do but are afraid to say to be honest. All im really saying is that this season could turn out to be a transition season while the team is being rebuilt. I don't get where you getting the transition bit from as this is likely to be Saturday's starting 11 New goalie Leads/JC/Parts Locks Sweeney/Burn/Broadbent Brown Bodin Sercombe Clark/Lines Sincs/Moore Gaffers/Ellis Nichols What's transitional about that line up bar the goalie most likely just a couple of changes to the outfield players, whereus probably a team like Bury have half a dozen new players to "gel" we've just got an handful. Still think SH went OTT as if he hadn't given that interview we'd probably by all be happy with the new goalies, Sercombe & Nicholls plus potentially Sweeney returning. We are introducing new players,we are trying to establish a better academy and u-21 set up,quite a few stalwarts are gone,your correct in so much as 7 of the conference team could start saturday though. I just feel that with the projects that are ongoing like the ground,training ground and building up the youth system with players and coaches etc means that the team are in transition. J clarke,gaffney,harrison, and moore,i would add lines are players many would argue need replacing if a team is expecting promotion but they are all good players so hopefully will have a great season.

There's more sheeds on this forum than on one turd. UTG! I'm not so sure that's so true but it's usually easy to spot them and they get sent packing pretty quickly. Forums are about debate and I've seen plenty of Gas being called sh** on here just because of differing opinions which I think shows a lack of class and goes against everything this forum is about. I've been called a shithead on here and a rose tinter and I found both laughable but at the same time I could see that those posters don't understand what our club or Gaschat stand for and obviously they don't know me either , plenty of keyboard warrior's on here. Each to their own freedom of speech and all that but if someone's way off the mark with me I don't rise to it , simple.
