But it sometimes feels they then fail to see or acknowledge there are some positives too? I don’t deny there are valid concerns, never have, never will, but choose to look at the optimistic side of things. We do have good players, we do have a coaching staff that have won promotion from this league before so their experience could/should count for something, we are scoring goals, we are winning games, we have a good away record, the team (until recently due to injuries biting) look fit and able to compete for longer. I’ll never get the apparent lack of balance I see in some people’s views but am at least (mostly) respectful of that, there’s good and there’s bad. I don’t see that our chances are harder or impossible at the moment, but that’s just my opinion.

BramcoteRam84 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Everyone knows we needed more this transfer window. Good move getting CBT but we need more. If we don’t get them, that’s on Thomas/Pearce/Clowes not Warne, and probably not even on them we’re clearly still heavily restricted.

So all the boos at half time were aimed at Warne, not the players? All the cheers when Hourihane was substituted were aimed at Warne , not directed to the player.

If Warne stopped playing Hourihane and Bird as the midfield then maybe we'd see a better Bird and a better Hourihane. jimtastic56 and norwichram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whiteroseram Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 (edited) 7 hours ago, Gee SCREAMER !! said: Striker was Goodwin who's gone to Oxford. Fee rather than wages. Twice this season they've gazumped us for attacking options. Don't know if he's any good to be honest. So you're saying Goodwin but bad fee? I was going to comment about not overspending again, but actually, I'm happy with this being my only contribution to the thread Edited January 28 by whiteroseram Carl Sagan and Gee SCREAMER !! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoghan1884 Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 For the premier league player, we have been linked to Michael Olakigbe a young winger from Brentford. Brentford have just agreed a 30 million fee for a winger so if it is him he could now be allowed leave on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless Olakigbe can play as a striker, it would seem we would be after a central player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Warne stopped playing Hourihane and Bird as the midfield then maybe we'd see a better Bird and a better Hourihane. You could well be right but it doesn't alter the fact that a proportion of supporters bood at half time etc. and cheered when Hourihane was substituted. I think it's a bit of a stretch to come to the conclusion that those reactions were aimed at Warne and not the players. If we're going to cut the players a bit more slack because of the system being forced on them then surely a sympathetic groan rather than boos and a respective silence instead of cheers would have been more helpful and appropriate.

Why did the chairman of those teams acquire those clubs? Am sure Clowes didn't need reminding of the harsh reality of this when he bought the club, but the money has to come from somewhere like other league clubs or we fold again. It's that simple. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBritishMidland Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 On the comment about someone on the fringes not getting the game time they want, I wondered about Joe Ward. Nyambe comes back this week and Wilson has jumped ahead of him at full back. Smith can also play there. In the wide midfield position we have NML and Wilson ahead of him on that side. Just a thought 🤷♂️. Comrade 86, Caerphilly Ram and whiteroseram 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
