Mate ,what had Jordan Pickford done ,he was snapped up before we had a chance to enjoy his skills,the academy is there to bring future players on, i am happy that Embeldon had a belter with his loan and i am thankful he stayed with us instead of going to the
Mate ,what had Jordan Pickford done ,he was snapped up before we had a chance to enjoy his skills,the academy is there to bring future players on, i am happy that Embeldon had a belter with his loan and i am thankful he stayed with us instead of going to the championship with them, where he was wanted, i am sick of losing our talented youngsters, look at last season we had 2 or was it 3 get snatched and Manu was one destination.

Fair point re Pickford and I get the comparison with Embleton, for me though, don’t see Embleton necessarily starting for us as I’m not convinced Johnson genuinely rates him.
Fraser would have been a good signing imho but it’s too late now.
I see Evans has now signed and it seems like there may be some more imminent arrivals with Doyle, possibly Lichaj, Dale and the striker (assuming it’s not Dale).
It will be interesting to see how we line up on Saturday.

looking forward to it i hope this season is the one for promotion
 
What is it with people wanting to knock this set up? After all the animosity towards Stewart Donald, you'd think that people would be pleased to have a young owner, with fresh ideas, and a family background in football club ownership. I can understand a healthy dose of pessimism but people just seem to want to criticise and its always presented as 'realism' or claims of being more knowledgeable.


Maybe they are the ones ex players and managers refer to as 'toxic'. Certainly couldn't argue with that.
 
Well IMO if LJ doesn’t have a team that’s there or there about s after ten to fifteen games he will be a dead man walking. We are not renowned for patience after the last 10 years of s hit.
you dont have to be Mystic Meg to predict that one, so i hope he or his team has read your comment

10 matches in will be against Cheltenham at home. We will need to be thereabouts.....a couple of points either way... at the top of this league following that match.

'toxic' implies nastiness for flimsy reasons. I think we could easily justify being more 'toxic' tbh, given what we've seen over the last ten years. Frustrated, yes, impatient, absolutely, but toxic? Not for me.

I think much of the criticism that both Lee Johnson and Louis-Dreyfuss have been getting across the various platforms is for very flimsy reasons.
 
My fear is we could be 5 points clear and Johnson will still be getting grief.


that will be down to performance only , my view is the home crowd will stay off his back if they can see a team trying, and giving it there all. As this is LJ team they will need time to gell,lets hope its quick and a few PL players can join us on loan
