Thank you.
Oh I've noticed you're not allowed to have a different opinion/knock the recruitment process/speak the harsh reality without being ridiculed or slagged off. |

I've got a season ticket and will go.
That's completely irrelevant to the fact that we are infuriatingly shite in the transfer window (for getting what we actually need.....as the others bought this year are good).
As for exciting times....if we have no sod to put away chances then I predict frustrating times |

And you seem to be happy living in cloud cuckoo land where the status quo never changes and we should all be happy. Apathy is the term I believe. |

Are you agreeing with me ?
Or are you name calling ?
Or are you being sarcastic to others who seem to be completely blinkered to what is actually happening (or not) and how I tend to be ridiculed for speaking my mind ? |

No it's not just that if you read it. Congreve, Fulton,Cooper and Vipotnik all potentially going. We also need squad players for injuries, suspensions etc.
Is it not factual that we blatantly need a striker ?
Is it not factual that we are backtracking on actually getting one ?
Is it not factual that we get false promises every teansfer window ? |

Well well well
About 10 days to go and we're suddenly back tracking. What, for me, has been a pretty successful transfer window to date looks like being flushed down the pan. We appear to be shipping out, hence, obliterating any strength in depth. And, astonishingly, now may be looking at utilising our current strikers as opposed to bringing anyone in. Jesus, we need two not just one. Wales, untried, young, who knows ? Cullen, well he runs and moans a lot and Vip, Derby was his swansong.
Bang, for me, goes any chance of success this season. Perhaps they'll surprise me and bring one in. Doubt it, been here too many times before. Perhaps we'll eek out loads of one nils with a goal from a CB or something. I'm just sick of all the false promises that come year after year. I mean, how stupid do you have to be to not realise it is what we needed more than anything. |

I read, sorry that I can't remember where, that there were talks with him. It never said who the talks were with. He was offered more than Hull were willing to give him but preferred Hull for whatever reason. Perhaps he's settled up North ? Has a house there or something. Whatever at the end of the day as he hasn't come here. I don't think he'll be standing on the terraces with us anymore. |

Oh don't get me wrong, I don't want a back five. I'm old fashioned. RB CB CB LB.
I just meant that Key is far more effective going forward than he is defending so that back 5 suited him more. I still think he's a good enough RB with Sam Parker a more than capable back up. And, yes, that's with his too many touches on the ball, like Malick yesterday, as you said. |

I said similar last season.
I think Key is a very good wing back in a defensive five. Last year I would even have played him instead of Ronald as the RW.
I like him buy he's extremely dodgy as a RB for a variety of reasons already mentioned. |

I went to Wrexham as a 7 year old in 79. Lost 1-0 if I recall. Gilo was playing for them. Great Times. My second season was that. I still love reminiscing over my first 3 seasons, 78-81, as they were magical.
Went there again in 94/95 and that bulb Psycho Bennett run us ragged in a 4-1 loss. Not to so great lol. |

I thought that was totally unfair by the club. I put on my black 04/05 away top to come down. By the time I'd got down the stairs I couldn't breathe. Anything bought pre-18 seems to have shrunk in the wash 😁 |

Good 3 points against a team that should still be there or thereabouts but currently seem to be in turmoil. Most players did okay (obviously this is only my opinion) but some not. Early days, time to gel etc is understandable for some but I feel some should be hitting the ground running. Eom still offers little to the team for me. Cullen is totally ineffective. Obviously this is again the fact that we need a striker, which I keep getting told is happening. Key very dodgy defensively today whilst I thought Tymon ran Galbraith for MoM.
Two weeks into the season and a win at home against one of the Championship favourites is good enough for me despite any failings.

Reply | Gordon Daniels RIP ...

RIP Gordon or Mr Daniels as he was to me. Collecting autographs in my first season 78/79 I wanted everyone who walked through the little white gates. I remember him being really bemused but signed nonetheless. Saw loads of him from 79-84 whilst a ballboy and he was a genuinely nice bloke. |

I get where you're coming from.
Myself, I am delighted with our signings so far.
However, as a club, we always seem to be devoid of strikers. Never any depth there. I mean at the minute we have one, Vip, who doesn't look like ever scoring more than 5 a season (just another Pintado). Cullen is not a striker and Wales is one for the future I expect. So, for me, we have none never mind depth.
Off the top of my head the last time I really remember a dirge of strikers was 87/88 with Love, McCarthy, Pascoe,Raynor and Allon. |

Yes
It's the only missing component from what otherwise could actually challenge for the top 6.
Without this component, no chance.
We sit and wait and hope. |

One of two people I think.....
Answer me this
Did you drive me and others to a load of away games in the early 90s like York, Exeter, Brentford and Norwich ?
Don't panic by the way, I won't disclose your name 😁 |
