Apart from a handful of wind up merchants on FaceBook who are doing a great job of upsetting the locals on the L1 banter page there, there seems to be a contentment. We still have a club being the biggest factor to that. We also have an owner who is a proper fan, North Stand ST holder for years. Also a proven businessman who has grown his late dad's business. He says he wants stability and sustainability. I take that to mean he's not going to spend money the club doesn't have. That's brilliant. It would mean we'd never have to go through the mangle of possibly going out of business ever again. We have a manager who seems to have things organised. What he's done, along with his staff, turning a a 5 man squad 5 or 6 weeks ago, into a squad of 20 odd players who look like they will entertain and maybe even threaten the top few. Time will tell if that will happen. Bit by bit, the pieces are slowly clicking into place. Top half by Christmas would give us a good go at making top 6 or better, aided and abetted by a couple of tweaks to the squad. Looking at the squad we seem to have at least 2 players vying for most positions. Will it be sufficient to be successful this season? We will have to wait and see.

Nowt to do with results. Its the feel good factor. David Clowes is the real deal?
Just feels raite, bit like the Lionel years.

Tyler Walker, said this several weeks ago and if LR was at the game I'm sure he's someone we are targeting for another forward option.
Check his record at Lincoln and Mansfield. Needs to kick-start his career back down the lower leagues again, really not happening at Coventry and don't think he'd be against a move here despite his Forest connection - lives literally down the road from me, seems a nice fella TBH.
 

Is it?
First game he was man of the match from RB (where the goal was scored and assisted by the two players he’d presumably replace in midfield) and Saturday we created a gazillion chances including him missing a sitter, from right back?

We had something like 14 shots away from home. The problem is not at RB.

He has only played the 45min preseason game since Feb, LR has said McGoldrick has said he is ready to play but that he doesnt want to risk him & he is right to wait until he thinks McGoldrick is fully fit, why risk him short term when we need him for the full season.

His link up play looked very good in the pre season game, just what Collins is missing up there with him, if he stays fit he'll be a game changer for us.

He’ll be fine. I’d wait until you’ve seen him play before passing judgment 

Round pegs in round holes. Mendez Laing is not a full back, he's an out and out winger.

Not sure who he plays for, but Rosenior is on record saying we aren’t going for rash options.

Ross MacLaren.

No, it was Ross MacLaren with Hindmarch wasn't it? Was Blades CD backup?

Did players ever used to get injured? Crazy.

It was less a death, more a fade to grey.

There’s a very good chance he would finish on 6 for the season. 

I genuinely thought you were referring to the forum owner for a minute, not our new club owner! 
I was halfway through a response, saying @David, would love the attention and would definitely be in favour of naming a stand after him, If not the whole ground.

Remember when Mel Morris did this, it was labelled as a PR stunt.
It’s possible whoever was advising him, mentioned this point.
Football fans are very fickle by design, don’t spend enough money, spend too much, sack a manager, don’t sack a manager, whatever they do will lose confidence in their ownership.
Whilst David Clowes is riding the crest of the fan wave right now, at some point he will dip as the season(s) go on, it’s best not to leave any crumbs that could be used against him further down the line.

I agree but I'm amazed you didn't mention Birmingham City.
