    Then we've got no chance, more "promising" u23s from premier teams, doing them a favour by playing their players.

    Speakman has all the power unfortunately. KLD has backed the wrong horse.

    Sorry aye. End of year is end of season to me. Thinking of purely footy seasons.

    Do you think it will leak in the press beforehand in an attempt to calm the fans mate?

    Am I wrong in thinking KLD comes into his money in December, when he is 25?
    Somebody said this a few days ago on the forum

    I’ve heard this as well but as rumour, it would make a lot of sense like

    I’m willing to give Speakman a chance still. If KLD backs him it’s all we can do. We just have to hope he’s as good as learning as he is at talking.

    Sure he has enough now doesnt he, certainly for us & at this level, thought it was just a case of the rest or some needs signing off to spend by his mam....she controls some of his pocket money?

    Sounds like another 'voting shares' style myth to calm the masses

    I think some of the problem comes in he appears to have only looked at in the main technically 'good' players....failing to respect the fact a team needs a blend, more so at this level, going back to the Reidy days when we had that young side flying attacking sides, some sway games Kevin Ball was the most important player on the pitch

    The 11 best techical footballers in the world wpuld not make the best team, sometimes the most important player is the one that does the dirty work of winning the ball back & giving it, its as important if not more so what you do when you dont have the ball.

    closest we have to a ball winning leader is winchester & in my opinion its him 100% start in midfield, pick his partner in a 4-2-3-1, which at the minute is JM. hume played ok so far at RB, play him until he nerds a break, put wright in when he does, worst case gooch, he will struggle but i dont think we can afford to move winchester from that midfield role, we are short of options in a few crucial areas, surely we could have found a loan RB or CB, need to look at free agents for cover. we can only play the hand we have at the moment

    Yeah. Otherwise I think we will be down 5k season ticket holders.

    Thinnest of ice for me. He isn't liked. Talks the talk but hasn't produced.

    Not bothered whether he's liked or not can he do his job?
    Anything else is a bonus

    As an aside I don't recall many DoF at other clubs being in the press quite so much just seem to quietly get on with their jobs. Perhaps it's just because this is my club and I take more notice

    Not for me. He’s been a disaster. However fwiw I don’t think KLD will get rid for a while yet.

    I’ll be renewing, out of blind faith nothing else.

    However it will be my last for a while if we fail at getting out of league 1
