He gets loads of unwarranted sh** , I think it’s bang out of order to be honest. The guy is easily accessible via email and always has time to reply to any questions, as he has done with myself in the past. But hey much easier to slag him off on here ! I don't understand the unnecessary stick he gets.

I'm sure SH is a competent chairperson, but some of his wording really drains confidence in him. How about instead of thinks he said: "We are working hard on a couple of potential replacements for Ellis and hope to have one over the line by the time we play Peterborough" what is different between hope and thinks?

The fact we've had no bids for Locks is what we want to hear more than we're trying to sign two strikers before the Posh game, which is fairly obvious. Yeah pretty much. Only a slight change of wording makes me a bit more confident of getting someone in.

I don't see the problem. Firstly, we don't know when yet so what is he supposed to say? Definitely then look an idiot again like the infamous land lights embarrassment. Secondly, I am not too fussed about us getting a replacement in time for Peterborough as it is a game I would take a point anyway. If we haven't got a sufficient replacement bu Thurs 9th though then I will be concerned. The window closes the day after, mate.

The window closes the day after, mate. The day after what? It closes 9th August. Loan window is still open after. But DC prefers permanents. We need a permanent replacement for Ellis. Then we need one more striker, which could end being a loan IMO.

what else is he supposed to say? he is on a hiding to nothing if he say we will and we don't have one assure fans we will as I dont think any professional club will start the season with 1 first team striker that scored less goals last seas than the amount of days in a long weekend?!

He may as well have not given an answer to the question he was asked then
He cannot promise, assure, guarantee anything can he, because lord knows he would get torn to shreds if he did and a deal fell through last minute

Make an outrageous statement and sit back and laugh as people go nuts. Yes ! Something like “ we’re going for it big time , that mob south of the river better watch out cos we’re gonna catch them then leave them behind inside 2 yrs. “

Last season we had, Telford, Harrison, gaffney and Nichols as striking options. This year Nichols and Reilly. We need there to be 2 at the very least

We need there to be 2 at the very least Mensah can play up top, usually sits behind the striker but was capable at Aldershot on the wing and has been used as a full striker. People keep forgetting we have him but from what i’ve seen he seems to be playing well in pre season.

Could probably get another loan in a la Telford on top of that. The meltdown is delicious though.

I'm not saying he won't make it but I wouldn't want to be pinning our hopes on him.

I don't understand the unnecessary stick he gets. Neither do I , like I said , easily accessible via email , I have sent him quite a few in the past and he does answer my questions and also he will also have a laugh and a joke. Met him on several occasions, always friendly, polite and approachable. Do all clubs treat their board the way we treat ours? I would like to think that the silent majority are happy with the way things are going and that the 'glass half empty' fans on here are few and far between. Fortunately there are quite a few posters here that are realistic and fair.
