I thought JB expressed confidence in Ayunga and Hanlan - at least when he took over he did. And I'm not being facetious. He did, which either means he's off his trolley, or he has a crystal ball that shows both of them having umm, somewhat better seasons than last. Ah well, 3 weeks to go until we find out. I think JB praised a few players on arrival at the Mem,part of trying to keep a team up. As for a "proven" goalscorer,do we ever sign such player and ar'nt they abit pricey. Is it 3 new forwards we have?Maybe the new team will provide them the chances.

I am refusing to form any kind of judgement on the new crop of players until I have seen them with my own eyes for at least 10 games. I am approaching the new season with an open mind and full of hope.
For JB's sake, I also hope that feeling will continue all the way to the summer of 2022 and beyond...

Well, there can be no respect for any player who signs for us knowing; ....... he will be training.............. in a gym WITHOUT WINDOWS!

Who can forget the euphoria when Buckle Mcf**kle signed a whole new team back in the day? We were going to win the league, win the Trophy, get to the latter stages of the 2 cups etc etc. 4 months later the divisive little troll was gone and we stayed up by the skin of our teeth. Then there was the great Garner revolution. It's still too painful to describe that. Just like you I refuse to get carried away. I will wait and see, more in hope than expectation.

Perfectly reasonable posts,we've all been burnt before. Having said that, I think we'll challenge.

I do think joeybag has signed characters that can work with him or at least admire him. There’s a lot of grit and pace in the team. I can just hear the northern soul being blasted from the training ground. I think we will be top ten. Top 7 is 6/5 with bet365 - better odds than you were offering

I wish I felt the same rich but I have none of your enthusiasm and especially after seeing B*****’s 18 games in charge, his game management and lack of fight. As usual, hope I’m proven very wrong as the alternative is horrific. Make no mistake, this is a massive gamble.

I think we’ve signed players all with similar character and who should be relatively competitive at this level. I still think we’ll have a terrible disciplinary record though

JB does not have much credit left with a reasonable proportion of the fanbase, based on his performance so far. If the team does not start well, he won't be with us at Christmas.

possible JB mindset ... that what he had [in his mind] were just not worth him having sleepless nights if he had came up one point short of survival....... I will get in who i think WILL do the job my way and start afresh ... we shall see. as been eluded to 10 games in should give us an idea as to where this club is going

Do we have a greater reset or do we just close our eyes abs hope it all comes good. I guess we haven’t much of a choice.

Sort of reminiscent of the Alton Towers ride first time around. The Black Hole" after that you know where your going. "Oblivion" 🤭

I don't read Gaschat. But I got the impression that Mr B***** is 'popular' and that people believe he is not responsible for the pitiful 18 game performance that led to our relegation in last place in League 1. As for December 25th, he has November 25th to get past first. (No I don't want him to be found guilty, I want justice to be done blah blah blah blah).

November the 5th might be more appropriate...... on that evening we may have somewhere to hide him then!!

It will be named the ultimate reset & people will say how was this allowed to happen. Jeez, I think we could set a record for the number of managers we are paying off. Let’s see what Coutts and co bring to the team as we have had good pre seasons then done poorly and vice versa. I didn’t envy any of them playing yesterday as it was Gert hot mind

Joey was impressed with Harrogate Town goalkeeper James Belshaw who played as a triallist in the game with Plymouth.

There is a feeling that the end of last season was not his fault because it was not his players. I don't buy into that, although you can make the argument.
From August, this is largely his team so he will not be able to use that as an excuse...
