The Wyvern

It might be brilliant at times, but didn’t help us at all against the skates. Just slowed the game down, gave them a chance to breathe and us a free kick on the half way line. Hope to see him focused a bit more on playing football and making an impact around the opposition box.

I thought he looked more interested in drawing a foul than getting on with playing the game. We needed to keep pressure on them not give them constant breaks to regroup and have a breather. Does look like a character. Reckon he could easily go one way or another- become a cult-hero or frustratingly fade out and last one season.

What does a successful season look like for us? What’s acceptable? Promotion in any form (play offs etc) I guess.

Cheers. We do now have a waiting list for season tickets, albeit pretty small one I'd guess. I wonder how many years of consistent PL football we would need? If that is a requirement before any kind of work starts in earnest then we're still many years off anything happening.

The club have previously issued vague comms around looking at an expansion, is anyone ITK about this actually happening? Do we have access to the funds and if so, what are the blockers? I'd say 40k would be good for us, might not fill it every week, but we would regularly get mid to late 30s.

I'm not suggesting its an exact science, or that I can remember the quality of performances from 25 years ago to be honest, but I am racking my brains to think of a manager that has shown so little first up and then turned it around. I thought we were abysmal in the first half on Sunday, unacceptably so. The "final squad"/"derby" is meaningless to me, every game and every manager works within some kind of constraint or other. I don't expect us to win every game or even play well every game, I did expect much more from Still than we've seen to date though. I want him to do well, I like the bloke, much more than Martin. Got to see some significant improvement at Hull on Saturday.

Then surely there should be someone looking after him? And stopping him behaving like this. Its not a good look for him or the club, so hopefully someone has a quiet word at some point.

My concern with Still and his poor start is that if we look through every manager we've had in say the last 20 years I think its safe to say we've known if they're going to be good or bad once we're 7 games in. I can't think of any managers that have looked poor at the start and turned out well or vice versa. What we got at the start, we got for the rest of the time with the club. Not looking good for Still on that basis.
