    Yes, after all, it's L1 football and more or less all the teams will have flaws technically and tactically. The trick now is to be the least inconsistent team in the top 6.

    I think it’s just a case of more of the same.
    We have had a nice run of fixtures with five of the last seven being at home, with our two away games against lower opposition.
    Biggest challenge will come in March time when the pressure will be on, fitness levels will be tested after a long slog and we have the likes of Bolton and Blackpool coming to PP in potential six-pointers.
    That said, the next 3 look tasty.

    Yes I will concede that Warne is a tactical genius by setting is up with crap football to lull the opposition into a false sense of security then change to real football snd blow them away. 
     
    Credit for the substitutions, but his self-admitted MO of get the ball into the flanks and cross it for the defenders to dutifully clear it, rinse and repeat means that in many matches we are climbing hills and mountains when we could be quickly up there and cruising along the plateau.
    Last night, apart from the first goal, all of our chances came from playing football. So why not do more of it? Our good run up until Wycombe came from us playing more of a footballing game, which we changed to after the protests from supporters following the Stevenage and Crewe matches. 
     
    It is clear that the team can do it, and it us clear that Warne can do it, but it is also clear that Warne would rather not do it.
    When we get promoted if we end up reverting to a preferred system rather than one which we know works, unlike this season we won’t last 5 minutes.

    Totally agree with that. However, meeting diversity targets shouldn't take precedence over ability, regarding the promotion of match officials.

    Yes absolutely, these players are paid professionals and shouldn't need to be micro managed in every thought process and kick of the ball. We were playing a very average Wycombe side, after all.

    We managed it for about thirty seconds then Nelson lumped it long.
    Just needed a bit of nous to play it to feet near the touch line where we could play for throw ins and corners.

    Definitely one of our younger players with bags of potential, and hopefully set for a good run in the 1st team squad when fully recovered from injury.

    Couldn't resist could you....pretty ironic in a thread about tiresome oneupmanship don't you think?
    Why don't you offer the OP some constructive advice instead?
    Shouldn't have really expected anything less.

    In the unlikely event that any buyer would sign up to point No 2, it would be subject to so many caveats, sub clauses and legal loopholes that it would never be water tight contractually or stand up to serious scrutiny. Just my opinion.

    Football is in a state , where and how it’s being driven has to a great extent destroyed the true sport that it was , obscene money for players and wages , fans disconnected from players and more and more from clubs , massive debts and let’s be honest it could at some point come crashing around our ears ,, ,
    im sorry but the original poster and his post / thinking is a major player in this being pushed further and further, jeez even to the extent that a true fan like clowes who bought the club to save it is now backhandedly questioned as to whether he bought the club to protect his investment in the ground which by the way was about the only way the club was going to survive in time if he didn’t buy the ground then the dodgy yank was out , deal off and hope Ashley actually wanted the club even for buttons or as a phoenix,
    sorry Kevin hectoring but fans with your views and demands are a big part of the problem🤷🏻‍♂️

    The last time we were good at recruitment under Nigel, we had almost no non-UK and Ireland based players.
    As much as I love the prospect of unearthing exciting talent from the Moroccan Premier League, I just don't think it's particularly feasible at this level unless you invest heavily in scouting.
    Probably the area we'll have the most return on investment will be poaching players from others' academies and carefully selecting premier league academy cast offs...
