Sheltons Army

One to consider at seasons end I’d say

I was / am a fan from U23s but not for a moment could I foresee just how he has taken to First Team football He actually looks better in the First Team which is mind blowing !

Not long signed a ? 3 year one ? Fordy Fevs will tell us

McInally praising Tommy’s movement / runs Meanwhile Bournemouth 5 down at Anfield ...... isn’t the Prem fun

Gettttt in Roy Race notches another for the boys in red

Another deflection FFS Doesnt seem to happen for us too often pahhhhh Genuine good test for us now

Get Chrissy on

Ha ha , anyone see Stelling on Sky just now ?

Wells hits the post * Martin would have finished that

Not all of them Four were in the sick bay vomiting having consumed out of date Fanta

Hate Them , If those are the two optional answers

Can we just clarify , before kick off , who the scapegoat is today , it’s good to keep on point Makes it confusing with no Martin or James in the line up I guess it’s Vyner ? ( Bet he makes a mistake for the first goal )

As Fat John Parkin said , when Wilbs recounted that moment to him ’ What the **** did you do ? win the World Cup for them ?’ ?

He’s a Johnson Junior Disciple Everything else is **** if Junior didn’t do it

I don’t know whether it’s been mentioned but he had a clause in his contract that he could talk to other clubs Never a great sign

We’ll said There appears no end to this

Yes , he can’t be classed as an Academy success until he’s either a) Played 200 games at Championship level , or above or b) Won the World Cup or c) Scored 350 League Goals Nothing to see here

‘At the moment’ ?

Perfect fit for Stoke Spoiling , time wasting , over physical Perfect Jumping ship - Another reason to dislike him * Spooky they’ve just played Sunderland - clearly no chats took place then ?

Surprised they haven't considered using the concourse(s) creating a fanzone(s) with a big screen or screens , especially given the timing of it and the obvious barriers to outside fanzones - could be a right little earner

Great Post @Nogbad the Bad The more I digest NPs work and the current ups (and downs) the more I think back over the 5 decades of supporting ,and it may sound a bit of a wild statement , .......But it’s not been much better than now during that time (Save for those few giddy years in Div 1) Ive said a few times , in my time , we’ve never been a serious force or close to promotion favourite at this level, or even an ‘attractive’ club to players Alan Dicks did a fantastic job to get us promoted , but it wasn’t expected , no obvious signs in the build up to it , and it was a completely different times in so many ways Gary Johnson did a fantastic job , got us to a play off final with a side , that in paper had no real right to be anywhere near there , and we were never fancied to be up there - He over achieved Other than those two anomalies we’ve huffed and puffed at this level , sometimes playing some bright football , often struggling . So , it might not be ground shattering , but in terms of the brighter performance s at least , and our overall ‘standing’ , it’s probably as good now as it’s been , in my years , save for those two seasons and the few Div 1 years Thats not to say we should have achieved more in that time , or don’t have the potential as a Club to do better in the future , but , the fact we hardly have in the last 5 decades or so , puts things into some perspective. Add in the obvious enjoyment and delight in seeing the likes of Semenyo, Scott , Conway breakthrough and deliver at this level and I’m struggling to argue when things have been brighter , or potentially brighter at least Watching Pearson get rid of the wasters and try to build and mould something , with ‘old fashioned values’ is something I’m enjoying , ...... and appreciating, especially considering the car crash he inherited Our views , expectations , frustrations I accept change over time / as we get older , and if I was of a different age group I’d probably crave ‘quicker progress’ and more immediate achievement But for those who have recently posted about how dire and dreadful things are , some wanting Pearson’s head on a platter ..... take a deep breath , and suggest when things were so much rosier I mean in no way to suggest we’ve ‘cracked it’ and are on our way to romping into the Prem , but playing some decent stuff at this level , being competitive , with some decent pros , and our own young players pushing in and delivering , is not the ‘norm’ historically I can’t see us regressing under NP (There will be a few bumps still to come) so it’s actually a time to enjoy , IMHO COYR

Still think that for some players , it was ‘job done’ Name in the headlines , interest from Prem Clubs activated

Absolutely , He does , but so do those coaching at the various age groups Rarely named , or heralded , at any club People like Tommy will have had a lot of work done with him over the years

Very Winnable , but some of you are taking the biscuit

Lincoln at home that will do
