bert tann Posted April 21 Report Share Posted April 21 32 minutes ago, Shaun Taylor said: There doesn’t appear to be much wrong with your football club other than a few quality addictions in the summer. The owner has delivered a first class stadium and training facilities and appointed a young manager who needs to be given time to develop the younger players and implement his style and looking at recent results he appears to be slowly changing things. Football fans at all clubs are fickle and demand success instantly and as we all know it’s not that easy at any level. Very similar to Rovers although we already have the addictions. What a lot of City fans don’t realise is that following the adoption of greater professionalism we are now providing the players with sandwiches after training which is bound to pay off in the long term. 1 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem with Swindon is that despite always staring the season well they always think the season finishes in November 1 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"12 permanently contracted players have deals that are set to expire this summer while there are also six first-team loanees" So possibly losing 18 members of your squad and wanting to recruit one to challenge ? I thought Taylor was a good appointment, but he has his work cut out. What a way to run a club. Basket case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Watts Posted April 23 Report Share Posted April 23 On 19/04/2024 at 20:46, City Rocker said: Oh dear Thangham, what were you thinking?! My MP for the past nine years and really popular locally. I certainly voted for her. Bad show by her party research staff though, have they not realised that ~98% of her constituents, even those of us who live in spitting distance of the Tinpottery, are anything but supporters of that shower? More City than gas in this neighbourhood. Such trivia wouldn't sway my vote in a general election, but what a lack of judgement from a senior politician. Anyway, as it happens, due to the boundary changes I believe Thangham has been moved to contest the new Bristol Central constituency at the next election, where there's a good chance she will lose out to the Green candidate. Unless the huge Sag vote can save her To be honest, whoever bases their vote on what team an MP supports should have their right to vote removed....this is exactly how we ended up with Brexit! 24 minutes ago, Taz said: Based on what!?

Strictly speaking everyone targets a top of the league finish. In an ideal world you set your team up to try and win every game you go into.... unless you're a manager who just sets your team up to not lose..... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
