    I’d assume any player from non league would be a developmental option, rather than an outright starter. He had a bad game in the final, but unfortunately we simply can’t be in the market for players who don’t have bad games. He’s had a few good seasons, technical ability doesn’t look to be a problem, perhaps he will need to step it up with regards to strength and conditioning. 
    If he signs, we will find out but we need options all over the pitch and depth. If he can provide some depth and an option of the bench in tight games and not completely disappoint then he will have been half decent for a free signing from non-league. Anyone with any sort of expectations of him, however, need to temper them immediately because it’s not fair.

    Managerial one would be Neil Warnock. He's mentioned a few times that he was interviewed by Mel. I honestly think he'd have got us up.

    There is more than one interpretation to that story, the second interpretation is not for this site.😳

    I was dating a Swansea ST holder during that. One night she was talking in her sleep and the only words I made out were "No Ferrie, don't go! It's a s*** hole". Relationship deteriorated quickly after that..

    Slaapwekkend P reacted to Kernow in Reasons to still (hopefully) be positive...   
    I touched on part of this in the match thread, and I am gutted to miss out although I feel like I'm less disappointed because of the circumstances. It's strange, if we'd completely capitulated and looked gutless, then I'd be fuming, but because it was down to an individual error/officiating error (again), it almost feels like well what could we do... We actually played really well, given the circumstances, deserved at least a point and showed a lot of fight. For me it's a lot different to previous seasons where we've just missed out on the top 6. I don't think "bottling" it comes into play this year. We just couldn't finish our chances, we could've won a hell of a lot more points without playing any better or any worse, just by putting away our chances. I also don't care what people say about bad decisions evening themselves out over a season, I think if someone did a case study on our season, it would show that's very far from the truth...
    But other reasons to be positive:
    - We'll have our first season in a long time where we can go into the pre-season with a bit of stability and certainty. We can look to build on the squad we do have with a manager who has had long enough to decide what we need to go up a level. It's not going to be perfect because of the circumstances we find ourselves under, but I think we should be in a much stronger position come August than we were last year. At least we won't have to wait another 2 months to know if we're going to be taken over, and start from scratch then. We won't have to miss out on signings and we can get started right now.
    - The circumstances... we'll still be under the business plan, but we'll be into our last year. There's talk it'll be 'relaxed', Nixon (yes I know) has linked us to actually spending Great British Pound Sterling on a player, whether we will or not, when was the last time we even could?
    - We're still a bigger fish in a smaller pond. I know we can't take anything for granted and big teams get 'stuck' down here. We have to take any opportunity we can to get out of this league BUT, we will be in a position where we are going to be a much bigger draw for players at this level than 90% of the opposition, and will be able to afford to pay them more too. In the Championship where we still have restrictions, I think we'd really struggle to build a squad and pick up results at the same time. I hope that just one more season at this level will set us up to have a much stronger future than a season of probably scrapping to stay up.
    - Experience at this level. The novelty will have worn off a little, for us, and for the opposition, the first trips are mostly out of the way. We can learn from naivety, errors and mistakes made this season where we've dropped silly points. Wigan, Reading and Blackpool shouldn't pose as much of a challenge, the competition this year has been fierce. Wednesday getting 96 points and only finishing 3rd is crazy, the top 3 in League 1 are far stronger than the bottom 3 in the Championship this season in my opinion.
    It's naturally disappointing to miss out however it happens, but I'm already looking forward to a busy summer and August rolling around again. It's been a long time since we've finished higher than 3rd in any division, wouldn't it be nice if this time next year that changes.

    This club needs a manager at the helm for at least 3 years! Look at the Nigel Clough years. He built a club over time, and eventually, it was that team that took us to Wembley. We need to give Warne time. I’m sick of the Mel years of hire and fire! We need stability and Clowes and Warne are the men to take us forward!

    Exactly, EXACTLY - I don't know if it's just a refection on modern life that people are growing up so entitled they are completely unable to deal with adversity but it's quite something to see. Life doesn't always go your way, I suspect that some of the people describing the season as an 'epic failure' or that Clowes would be 'angry' about the season need to watch some self help vidoes.

    Left it too long probably. Used to work with a Forest fan who left it till his son was 8 to get him interested.  By that stage and unbeknownst to him, living in Derby and going to school there had swung his son toward the better side of the A52 and the red toilet paper being passed off as a football shirt at Christmas was not well received.  No amount of cajoling or repetitive listening to Mull of Kintyre was changing anything.  A few weeks later his son arrived in the car with mum, outside work, in a gleaming White shirt with resplendent ram and the battle was lost.  Last time I saw him he was 20 and still part of god's chosen much to my piss taking delight.

    We can’t score goals. Sibley can score goals. Maybe play Sibley in a position where he can score goals. We tried this for one game and he scored goals. Maybe try it again? Although to be fair we did give him another 45 minutes so probably best not to bother again.
