    Are you impressed with the players ?, are they doing what he’s telling them to do. Got to give Johnson a chance to get his own squad together as these players are **** and have let us down the last 2 years

    I said this last week I just can't see the improvement so far and that's worrying.

    said it more than once, including last season.This lot don't want to be promoted. Suits them us being in league one. Was laughed at by some mates when I first said it. Not now.Soon as theres a sniff of playoffs it's like "nair". We've never been top spot once in 3 seasons. I'm not jumping on band wagons here, I'm saying all of this calmly. If we go up (doubt it), great if not, there's always next season with no salary cap. FTM

    Takoever is nice and all put Safc and LJ are terrible at the moment. We have played some.poor teams and our points tally is awful. Lots of big hitters to play. Play offs genuinely might be a tough ask.

    I agree
    All depends on how ruthless the new owner is and wants the best for his club! Would he sack him and bring in his own man?

    Big Hitters?? We are League 1 not the Premier League. We should be capable of beating any team in this league.
    It seems the players can't produce week in week out. That is why the majority of them are at this level

    cant see LJ not getting the season. It will then be whether they trust him with the squad rebuild of KLD and Speakman want a different approach

    Main positive for me is that so many of these useless f*ckers are out of contract at the end of the season and the Salary cap looks like its a non-starter. I hope Speakman hasn't booked any summer holidays, cos he's gonna be busy that's for sure.

    Interested to hear what LJ says about the change in goal and what the confusion with the starting 11 was all about. Awful second half from us tonight.

    LJ is the new owners man. Did you think Donald was behind the sacking and hiring of all these new staff?

    As in big hitters for this league. No Burton, Wigan, Northampton etc. All who are poor.

    I have no problem with the change in goal. None at all. Wanted Matthew’s to start and stand by that as I made the decision based on how bad a Burge was.

    with hindsight however.....
