BessexRED Posted February 26, 2019 Report Share Posted February 26, 2019 I’m not one for overreactions and I’m usually quick to jump to Lansdown’s defence (as are most on here, so I’m aware this won’t go down well) but think what you like about this season and whether we finish 6th or not, the fact we were in the position we were at the end of January and the owner interfered with the playing side of things and instructed Johnson to recall a L2 striker that had scored something like 3 in 19 instead of signing the striker Johnson wanted is the reason we may well struggle for 6th place. I also said on here before that one of the management team was frustrated at Lansdown somewhat in January, and I think with good reason unfortunately. Questions to answer Steve if we **** this up.

Not what happened, by all accounts we tried signing multiple strikers but couldn't get a deal over the line, only at the end of the window did we recall Semenyo and as said its not about playing him, but him having 6 months with our coaches to improve. One problem at Newport was he was often played on the wing, if we want him developing as a striker its not helping him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Over reaction of the month - the season will never be defined by a loss to Birmingham and even then with 13 games left its much too soon to talk defining moments. if you look at 7 wins in 9 no one should panic we were never going to beat everyone just look at Leeds (now that is a set back - hooray) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you say if you want one pay for whatever is affordable - so we get quoted stupid money and turn them down because they are not affordable!! You are sort of defeating your own point there.

Your last word is the problem. It isn’t just a fee we throw at it and at the end if it doesn’t work it is all good. Throwing 2-3-4 million in january for a loan could cost us signing Dasilva. It could mean we have to sell Brownhill. There are implications to spending. We looked. We had a few targets we thought we could afford. They didn’t happen for one reason or another. One thing for certain, even if we fall out of the playoffs, we will be in the mix again next season because we don’t panic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
