I was reading it in a waiting room today as it had a large Football season preview section. Worryingly at least a couple of pundits suggested we could be in line for relegation - the reason given that we keep selling our goalscorers and without recruiting adequate replacements, then it's got to come home to roost at some point.
Now I'm not a doom and gloom merchant, but we must get a couple of players in before the deadline or we will struggle to replace Ellis's goals, all round effort, and his defensive work. Ive spoken to people that have been in the game over the past couple of weeks and they also think we'll struggle. I wouldn't put too much faith in them if they only ''have been in the game over the past couple of weeks''.

I'm so young I don't think £2 is too much for a cup of tea.

berhill4, Why should Mayanese not be a better option in the long term, I have seen Broadbent many times and whenever he comes up against a good player he is torn apart and doesn't dominate on crosses. Craig dominates but isn't tall enough which shows up when alongside Lockyer but they are our best partnership with what we have at present. Nothing rubbish there. How about putting forward your ideas instead of stating mine as rubbish and then telling me I am entitled to my view. Read the post, you bang on about size and a more likely option have you met then both? And then you go on to say you have not seen much of him, My view is that he should have left Craig in the middle on Saturday as he got torn apart in the first half and instead put Broadbent at left back where he has the freedom to bring the ball out rather than just hump it. And with regards to Saturday do tell apart from Upson and Williams who did play well as you would appear to be the better judge than most on here and that's my view. Williams had a quiet game, I thought.

Sign a recognised goalscorer then I would go for your realistic option, sign two then your stretched option. Keep within touching distance by January when we traditionally start improving and add 2 key players in the next window then who knows?!?!?! Hallelujah....someone who remembers it is a season; not a match, not a month, not a short cup run.

I stand behind the dugouts and the pitch is definitely wider on the west side.

Faggoty, indeed. Twould be good to see how many are conceded in the last 10 minutes, when going for late goals ourselves. It seems 0-2 can become 0-3 cos we're going for 1-2 and 2-2.

Goals conceded by a DC side are higher than many other teams concede because he doesn't ''shut up shop'' at 0-2, (for example).

You STILL taking what the (any) manager says literally? Then why bother doing any interviews? I bet that is not far from what DC really thinks, too.

I don't agree that DC will go because to do that you have to have somebody who wants him. How would you compare DC's getting us to 13th in League 1 ( a worse performance than the previous season) with Hirsts achievements at Shrewsbury? I would very much question DC's ability and knowledge to get better players to the club. He doesn't have a proven record in bringing players from a higher division into the club. His skill seems mainly in non-league football and as such we may be the highest he will go in Management. My point is that maybe whilst most of the players he has brought in are average League 1 players now perhaps DC also is an average League 1 Manager. The only proof we have at present as to his ability to spend (bigger) money is £300,000 on Nicholls. I know I've mentioned this before, but I still recall your comments half way through the 2014 close-season, bemoaning DC's recruitment and pointing to Torquay as a team that had got their recruitment right, and wishing we were as clued-in as them. Not completely fair, but it still makes me chuckle when I read your criticisms of our recruitment, especially before the transfer window has even closed. Ok, Torquay. But at least Stevek got it right about Bury last year. (oh, wait.....)

I believe DC received some good news whilst in Eindhoven and it will be welcomed by most Gasheads. Was it something derogatory towards you by any chance?
Edit: I apologise. That was rude and below the belt. Just fed up with 'I know something you don't know' crap. Either put up or shut the f. up! There, that's more kind.
S'cider, what benefit does this sort of post have for the rest of us? None. What benefit does it have for you? Only you know that. Eg (last week) 'I know something about someone,..... but I can't tell you'. No benefit to us. but (this week) 'Keith has resigned'.. benefit to us, as now a proven fact. To me it all smells of egg sandwiches and sensible flask of tea from the (reserved) front seats of Coach 1 (Eagle coaches).
