    Still living the high life in Suffolk, as mentioned before the landlord of the Swan in Needham Market is a Ram too. He is always happy to see fellow Rams.

    I was quite anti-Rooney towards the end of last season. Still don’t know if he’s the right man but he’s what we have and no manager would touch us with a barge pole if they had any sense. I decided I was going to back him and the team early season and changing that view 3 games in would be far too early.
    I think there are a number of posters who have made their minds up for quite a while on wanting Rooney gone and nothing that happens going forward will change that view. It’s interesting how the big criticism from posters last season was his reactive management yet now he’s trying something innovative to make us more of an attacking threat those same posters are criticising him for overcomplicating things thinking he’s Pep Guardiola without the squad to do it therefore he’s tactically clueless based on a three game sample. 
    Yesterday we lost the game through individual errors. Peterborough didn’t look a threat until Dembele came on and not really then until stoppage time. We wasted two or three really good counters and the balance wasn’t quite right - that’s quite normal for early in the season.
    But it’s all because Rooney is clueless as 1 win in 18 demonstrates, even though we’re trying to adopt different tactics and have some different personnel. 
    Everyone knew it was likely to be a tough season, there have been some positives in the early games but that doesn’t fit anti-Rooney narrative as neatly as 1 win in 18. In my opinion those posters are not conveying a balanced view of the situation or the season so far.
    Not being critical of said posters, it was always going to happen until we win a few games. We could be here in 10 games time without a win and they may be proven right, but regardless, we’re stuck with him until he walks anyway.

    Franks Tanked, you are not alone here in Stowmarket. I have lived here since 96 after being posted to Wattisham, can’t get away now.  Lived in Mickleover until I joined up at 23. Been to matches against the tractor boys and occasionally made it back to PP. White Swan in Needham is good To watch the Rams in, the landlord is a supporter too.

    Thought Qualcast would be the link. I did an apprenticeship at Qualcast Foundry’s. I will be cancelling sky from September so I have an excuse to go to the pub. I used to watch the game in the Oak before he change moved to Swan, the Swan is a nicer place too. He used to love it when the fans got off the train for a last stop pint before going onto Ipswich. Maybe they need to get off at Needham and aim for the Swan now instead.

    Sorry, I can’t remember it is 32 years since I left there. I doubt I could even answer you then as I didn’t even know what an MD was............I was scared enough of my own foreman as it was with out the complications of real grown ups existing.
