Can’t disagree about the return on points from the games you mention but for me this is largely down to individual errors. Watford - Stephens shanking a pass, Manning going missing for the second, THB’s parting gift of a glaring miss. Lincoln - agree that was shit with substitutes weakening us Wrexham - how many chances did we miss ? Bolton - ditto Wrexham, with specific mention to Dobbin WBA - Dobbin could have won it (first half poor) Preston - poor, but still created chances. This makes no reference to penalty appeals. For me, the failing yet again is recruitment (not the manager).

Ridiculous if so. Wonder what the feeling will be in twelve months time if we’re mid-table Championship with Nivea in charge.

Agree with this, much of Fellows potential and what he can offer is diluted by the attacking options to cross to. Think me a made a number of goals for a CF at WBA before they sold the latter (name escapes me). Fellows shortcoming for me is his shoot and finishing, but interesting that his goal came when coming on for Scienza playing on the left for a while.

Interesting way of protesting about the bubble if you want to after FAB fail to secure its lifting ; https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cqy0r0lw4l5ro Block the team bus

What’s Sir Clive Woodward up to these days ? The problem is at the top. It needs a true visionary like His Rupertship to put things in place throughout the club. When did we last have a radio station and catering to be proud of ?

Don’t Robinson and Fellows play on opposite wings ? Robinson’s career would probably benefit more from staying on loan and playing than coming back. Edozie seems to have been given another chance, and again looks be lacking strength. Goal aside looked weak at WBA. Personally I wouldn’t give up on Fellows.

It will improve no doubt, but worth remembering that last season and even this when fit, Larin is a 65 minute player when starting. Will that improve? Not so sure

I think JWP could do a decent job there in an emergency as proven before. Probably solid rather than spectacular.

Interesting options, but I’d be a bit surprised if we look to strengthen at CB, barring injury concerns (or Wood looking to leave). I’d have been happy with Falchener or Affengrubrer in the summer but suspect for Falchener that (Viking) ship has sailed. He’s since played - and scored - in the Champions League so might now be out of our reach. And no idea how that has affected his value bearing in mind we wouldn’t agree the fee previously. No idea about Taylor, other than he scored against us once. Could make the step up if we’re promoted ?

One less than from Dobbin not finishing a couple of one on ones. That’s without the Wrexham misses by all and sundry

A back up GK is a concern of mine if Ramsdale as expected leaves. I know we have Long, but I’d prefer a back up that we are willing to play if needed

A Pedigree Chump perhaps

Wasn’t this the same line trotted out for Mara for about two years

Obviously he’s the problem. Good job Russell realised he wasn’t up to it, or not fully committed to the process. There’s no room for anyone who isn’t 100% behind the process

Have to hope that they get it right, and that works for the club. But also that this isn’t a distraction from the day job in getting the team, and stadium right first. Without dismissing the intentions, it would be up Sports Republic street to focus on this and not the football. You fear they might look at the surroundings and expect everything else just falls into place. Yes, it’d be nice to recreate something in the area, but part of me doesn’t want a gentrified waterfront with poncey cafes for hipsters. There’s something to be said for arriving into a grimey location rich in history.
