Do we not feel it’s almost certain that Collins is off now.
Brown kind of plays his position by all accounts. Can’t see us wanting 2 players in that role, one won’t play.

In his interview Brown said he played with Azza at Forest green, and was looking forward to playing alongside him again, but agree both are 10 s, unless we use him as the attacking midfielder. |

Same as me and I never will. I will support his players but never him, that’s fine with me, the players need the support. So if Brown is convicted are you going to not cheer his goals? Not having a go just wondering what the line is? Exactly that. And this is the problem isn’t it. We want to support and do support the club by buying tickets etc and because we love the club. But now I have to think about who I support within the club, including when a goal goes in. Why should we have to have this thought process? I just can’t be 2 faced about the situation where I condemn violence against women but elavate a person and cheer him on because he plays for us. |

Well, I know 8 that no longer go, and that’s just me, so suspect there are many. I can give you about 15-20 names of people who have only started going again because they love Barton and the football we now play so it's swings and roundabouts. |

I just can’t be 2 faced about the situation where I condemn violence against women but elavate a person and cheer him on because he plays for us. i am not against giving people a second chance if they show remorse, contrition and want to do better. Half the problem here is signing Brown with the case hanging over him and an admitted charge we no little about. Because of that no one can say anything and therefore we have no idea if Brown has any remorse or contrition whatever his defence is and whatever the provocation. We are in a limbo, where all anyone can do is fill in the gaps while we await the evidence and outcome of his case. For me this is just a cynical attempt to try swoop in and sign him before anyone else does because they are potentially waiting on the outcome. The whole episode is just grubby, will be bad press when he is sentenced for at least one charge, not to mention all the other noise that goes along with Barton and will be dragged up again by said press |

One season, got us out of the league's lowest division. Last season we finished 17th Div 3. No visionary he, so far. My feeling is a lot of the increased gate is due to the matchday experience having been improved out of all recognition from just a few years ago. It's actually a good day out now. The style of football being played certainly contributes to an enjoyable matchday experience. Let's not go over all this again, but statements like that are just not true Tilly. Between January and the end of last season our form was diabolical, we hardly scored. When evaluating performance it's important to look at the facts. |

Far be it for me to put words in Tilly's mouth however, Tilly I think is saying that by and large we played attractive on the ground football. Unfortunately,this was undermined by mistakes at both ends of the pitch,when I went to the Shrewsbury game we completely outplayed them for long periods of the game but,we lost due to very poor finishing and two defensive mistakes that were avoidable. |

In his interview Brown said he played with Azza at Forest green, and was looking forward to playing alongside him again, but agree both are 10 s, unless we use him as the attacking midfielder. I think we will play one of the two upfront, possibly pushing Collins into a more striking role and playing Brown behind him, or vice versa. Certainly don't think we will be selling Collins. Our goal scoring dried up after christmas last season with us continously sticking Collins out wide, he needs to play in a more central attacking roll if he is to get goals forus this time around. Hopefully the signing of Thomas and playing him out wide will allow this to happen. |

The announcement video is absolutely embarrassing. "Durkio told me he been on some positive sh**, yeah, yeah Lately, I just wanna show up and body some sh**, yeah, yeah Always been a lil' mathematician, lately, it's cash I'm gettin' Got me losin' count of these bags, I've been movin' too fast Hard times don't last, 'member when cops harassed
Talkin' out my ass, boy, you ain't sh** but a bitch with a badge" "All my life (All my life) They been tryin' to keep me down (They been tryna keep me down) All this time (All this time) Never thought I would make it out (Never thought I'd make it out)" if you assault a woman you are absolute scum that is that. Sez the person who names himself/herself after the worst scum of a footballer to come out of Italy Isn't it ironic, don't yah think? |

JB said he wants everyone to have competition. Brown is certainly that. A good squad with balance should have two players for each position or at least three for every two. Collins may be off but I don't see this signing as evidence tbh. |

One of the best teams during the calendar year 2022, weren't we? Important to get a good start this season to make up for the end of last season. Dominated by the period between Jan 22 and the end of season and promotion. Largely brought about by the acquisition (unplanned) of E Anderson. Between August and October form was bang average then we hit a purple patch until December. Then the dire period from Jan to May. Anyway let's not drill down again on opinions on this, the results stats tell us all we need to know. |

With the backing JB is getting and the risks being taking, any extended continuation of our form from the 2nd half of last season will see a lot of pressure. Time to show he can deliver. |

Exactly that. And this is the problem isn’t it. We want to support and do support the club by buying tickets etc and because we love the club. But now I have to think about who I support within the club, including when a goal goes in. Why should we have to have this thought process? I just can’t be 2 faced about the situation where I condemn violence against women but elavate a person and cheer him on because he plays for us. i am not against giving people a second chance if they show remorse, contrition and want to do better. Half the problem here is signing Brown with the case hanging over him and an admitted charge we no little about. Because of that no one can say anything and therefore we have no idea if Brown has any remorse or contrition whatever his defence is and whatever the provocation. We are in a limbo, where all anyone can do is fill in the gaps while we await the evidence and outcome of his case. For me this is just a cynical attempt to try swoop in and sign him before anyone else does because they are potentially waiting on the outcome. The whole episode is just grubby, will be bad press when he is sentenced for at least one charge, not to mention all the other noise that goes along with Barton and will be dragged up again by said press I gave up trying to write my thoughts. This though is pretty much it |

So better to be famous for wrong reasons than be ignored? Oh dear. People I sit with at AFCB still ask who’s our manager. Which is surprising given where they come from, and probably where they will return at some time in the future! UTG! |
