You don't exactly discuss much, you just bawl off about how unhappy you are. Hard to have a discussion on here Bags Can't argue with that. Wish I could.

Most Premiership and Championship Clubs have all of that, and more, but still get relegated. Sometimes it's your Season, sometimes it's not. Again though, it’s a level playing field because they all have it. Teams at this level don’t have it and us having it should be giving us an advantage over others. That’s why the owner has paid for it. I'm sure there's other clubs in our division with exactly the same facilities and tech as us though right?

Budget-we are a big hitter Training facilities-CEO says that some of the set up we have is premier league level and he’d be surprised if other league two sides have the same Staff-the manager has been afforded the luxury of removing anyone he doesn’t want and bringing all his own men in, not something that all managers have been allowed to do. Technology-how many other league 2 sides have access to instant replays in the dugout so they can watch back the game and tweet tactics according to it. Playing surface- we play on the best surface in the division 23 times a year, this should be an advantage for us All this stuff considered I feel that we should be more than capable of getting promoted from a very poor 4th division. Budget doesn't always bring points. Training facilities are a nice thing to have, bringing in your own team to support you is a nice luxury but will take a while to settle in, and having the ability to tweet tactics? Seriously. None of that really guarantees promotion. If that were the case the Prem title would be shared amongst 10 teams. If it did then Bradford wouldn't be still in L2, Wrexham in the NL and the likes of Pompey, Sunderland and Ipswich in L1. Plus we've had a shocking season with injuries, probably the worse most of us can remember, even now Grant, Evans and Loft are all missing.

Just decided to read this thread, I thought we all agreed not to start the Barton debate again...... I think I have just realised some people are really really taken in by him and probably need help. There are some very strange statements describing his comments as "God like" and "Churchilian" I apologise for any negative comments I made about him and hope you sort yourselves out soon. If there is anything I can do to help please do not hesitate to let me know www.samaritans.org/how-we-can-help/contact-samaritan/

Can't even make a joke anymore. What a time to be alive. I found it funny. The fact that the responses to it are predominantly points 1 and 2 on your list made it funnier as the thread continues!

JB might have promised promotions but in reality it was going to be a tough ask getting promoted this season with the rebuild we needed to do. We might have had a healthy budget, and yeah perhaps other teams have made a good go at it, but you can't chuck resources at getting promotion and guarantee results no matter the manager.
Whilst I'm desperate for us to get promoted and want the squad to chuck everything at achieving playoffs this season, and will be of course disappointed with us spending another season in League Two, I wouldn't hold it against JB if the result is a general progression across the season readying us for a decent go next year.
