BobBobSuperBob Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 In my post about the recruitment I should have said I'm all behind the philosophy of only recruiting better than what you've got But sometimes in life you have to compromise even accepting short term stability and this is where the biggest error of all lies with me With all the signs we wernt going to get gold signings we should have been happy to at least construct a solid squad to be built in when we could Ridiculous stubbornness IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, we need another tall player so Wilbs can be rested more often but the defence is the main problem. I remember when we got Bikey on loan in January (one of McInness's few good signings) and he more or less transformed the defence overnight with his confidence and leadership qaulities, all our other defenders raised their game as a result and we stayed up. It would be great if we could get a 30+ defender on loan who'd played at the highest level, just what we need now. It's interesting looking at the 3 clubs promoted from L1, MK play a passing game like us and are having similar problems, look at their forum and their fans are saying similar things to us here whereas PNE are set up as a 'hard to beat' side not worrying about entertainment value. Would our fans be prepared to watch less exciting football if it meant we would stay up? I know I would in the short term, remember when Denis Smith was sacked and Russel Osman took over? The defence was sorted almost immediately and fans liked it at first but got bored after a year or so. I'm afraid we haven't currently got good enough players to play the passing game/attacking type of football at this level, we could do it in L1 but at this level the other teams just wait for us to make a mistake then race up the other end and score, it's all too easy. Just hope we change something soon before it's too late. Good post and points and the major priority if I was SC...... An experienced midfield general / enforcer - (a leader is what we are desperate for if he can find one) Used to despise him but can't help thinking I'd have pushed the boat out and tried for Joey Barton at the time he was available an the way the window was panning out Hes matured ,was just what we needed as a leader and in middle of pitch Having said that - not sure our close group (The closeness of which served us generously well last year but I fear may now be working against us - but that's another subject ! ) would have accepted him if I'm honest - maybe therein lies a 'ghost hiding in the cupboard ' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Is a statement of "nigh on impossible" an acceptance of relegation or an offer to resign? i expect today we will be waiting for the loan window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe the powers that be could re-visit the budget, seeing as they were so surprised about the wages being paid at this level They've had since May to do so, I'm guessing they haven't? Maybe they are waiting for Cotts to walk, so as to not pay him up, and use that money to give to the next manager to buy some decent players with experience at this level Just a thought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1960maaan Posted January 14, 2016 Report Share Posted January 14, 2016 Louis Carey on Radio Bristol Tuesday said, none of the players we missed out on was due to fee or wages. I was driving so may have miss heard, but he'd know better than me. Second time I've heard this from what you would think were decent sources, not sure what to think with so many contradictory statements coming out of the club.

He said he believes what the chairman said. He didn't actually have inside info. But then you would think he knows the club and chairman well enough to have good reason to believe him.
