That’s if they can work together well. Wells and Conway work together well as a partnership. They understand each other’s games well. Whether Conway and Semenyo can do the same as 2 young players I guess we shall see at some point

id imagine wells and conway have done a lot of work together both being so close to first team for a while now.can see wells staying longer with a new contract if they keep this up

they should have a row of portaloos with no doors to kick off at the front of the stand

Fast forward to 2030, and this deluded idiot will be claiming they took 400,000 to Wembley. with 100,000 of the Fewers locked outside.

The further into the future we go, the bigger their exaggerations and lies.

My advice to this fool, after this latest embarrssing defeat, is to lie low.

Just like his team in the table.

 

 

 

go to 2031  and find 4,100,000 stood on the platform at templemeads due to a power cut and electric trains not running

They’ve got the ground their fans deserve already.

Maybe if they could be bothered to fill their tiny ground during bad AND good times and stopped singing about us all game then perhaps someone would stump up the money necessary? 

have a look here,very similar ground but decent facilities and no tents.  only 20 mins left.

FA Cup LIVE: Watch Marlow v Thame United in the preliminary round - Live - BBC Sport

its pretty obvious why they get so many go away,its because they are pissed off paying top whack to go to a shitty tent with tinpot facilities

All that will happen then is that the opposition will "set up" differently against us and exploit the weaknesses that come with 4-4-2 and posters on here and students of the game will suggest 3-5-2 as the way to overcome our difficulties. Probably. 

Problem appears to be too many Championship sides have a few too many better players than we have. Until Kalas and Semenyo return, we can hope.

i agree with you,everso slightly outclassed but enough for a few chins to drop causing defeats. a couple of wins for the first 11 boosting confidence would help at the moment

Not aimed at you three, but just reading the latest quotes back to me, but it’s an interesting insight for me.  I read pretty much every OTIB thread and try to read every individual post, although sometimes I scroll quickly…and generally see tonnes of negative bollax written, baseless bollax written, etc, and people think it’s fine.  So I thought I’d start a thread with an element of positive bollax and see how it landed. One thing is for sure and I’m no Freud, is that It’s easy to write negative, baseless stuff.  It’s harder to write substantiated stuff whether it be positive or negative.  I love conversing with those that put a bit of effort in.

MRR - I don’t really care how my perceived pro-Pearson view works out.  It’s not really pro-Pearson, for me it’s the reality of a very difficult situation he’s taken over in….and I think he deserves to have the time to at least get a chance once the shit has been cleared up.  That may be next summer - contract talks with the usual suspects might define that timeline to be a bit quicker.  He might not get that time.  I think he is steadying the ship, and whoever replaces him, whenever that will be, will pick up a football club in a better position than it was in when he took over.  For me it is already in a much better state…but financially we have the “legacy” of SL / MA / LJ still lingering over us.

Next summer there won’t be any players that Nige hasn’t had a chance to move on or re-contract.  Not many managers get that full timeline of seeing all the players out they don’t want.  But he will also have lost players he probably would’ve liked to have kept around, plus he isn’t able to bring in much beyond free transfers, bar Naismith, not even free transfers proven at this level.  That’s a major drawback.  When LJ had to sell players he was able to replace.  Generate £23m transfer profit on Webster, Pack, Brownhill and Eisa, spent at least £25m in fees on 17 players….and a hefty wage bill increase that went with it.  Christ, £5.5m amortisation of this season’s amortisation is LJ / MA recruitment.

He deserves some slack…imho.

He far from perfect, but he’s sorting us out for a better future.  When the time comes to appoint a new manager, we might be seen as an attractive opportunity.

 

sad thing is Dave, when that  time does come round, and it will, Pearsons time here will be seen as a total waste of time because loads of fans are only interested in the good times, not whats been done to get there

eight wins on the bounce now will sort us for the first half the season

Shout out to the pricks who thought a bridge swing right after morning launch was a good idea. 

just sums up everything bristol doesnt it. disorganised chaos at every opportunity.  about time they put a second major route through to assist with m5 traffic, one snarl up = gridlock everywhere.  gotta love bristol

has he been anywhere and not been rated? best maverick ive ever seen at bs3

saw nige fresh as a daisy roof down on his way to work at 8.00 this morning. expect the team to lose due to fatigue from the journey there.. 

if anyone ever wants a nailed on prediction, go the opposite to what i think. im always wrong.

my mom tonight is vyner, thought for sure he would get a second yellow but managed his card superbly.  plus he got it on palmer, was it instructions??

time to swap zak for towler save him getting unlucky red

Yep, and the best chippies are usually away from the sea front so competing for local trade based upon product rather than position. There is one in Hayle back on an estate but I forget the name, Francine's in Newquay and the aforementioned Morrishes in Redruth for three.

do you mean the one on the way in off the double roundabout on a real windy little bit of road? if so,the old boy that ran that retired last year, i think its accomodation now but was very highly rated by the locals. been going to hayle twice a year for eons now,a30 main convenience to get anywhere. there is a newish chippy down by the viaduct now,think its sanders or saunders, they are fresh cooked every time and really nice

to be fair,there are lots of decent chippies in cornwall, cant beat the sea air  surrounding with a good portion

dont try rick steins in falmouth,i broke a tooth on his chips

prefer portreathdorf,chips on the seafront from morrishes in redruth. gert lush

Including travel and working away? More than the average 37.5 hr week. 

yes of course travel etc to be included. i  guess they have a day off in the week to make up for matchday. sorry its way off topic, but seemed a good place to ask
