Away in a manger, so home games not affected

What??? He can't be accused of not doing anything surely.

Tudgay and Murphy up front in 442 will be strong enough.

With a team that was heading for relegation

Our target ATM should be to stay in the top 6, or stay in close contention. This is very achievable if we can stay relatively injury free, and / or add to the squad with similar quality players. It wouldn't put too much expectation on the team's shoulders but it would be a major step forward.

I had never heard of Adam Armstrong before we signed him, but what the signing tells me is that there must be quite a few young players out there who could do a similar job in L1, the trick is to be able to identify them and then to persuade the club that the player will benefit by playing for...

Agree, we are in theory all one group of supporters and shouldn't be trying to score points. But, there were a lot of posters saying we were going to lose by a big score even before the game started, the first game of the season. Negativity can spread, and can ultimately affect performances on...

Agree Where are we ATM? Obviously have a competitive team, having just beaten the favourites. One of the best managers in this league. Money to spend on strengthening. I would bet there are a lot of teams who wish they were in our position tonight.

Well said Covmark

I know its only one game, (albeit against one of the most fancied teams) but if today's performance is anything to go by Armstrong will tear this league apart.

In TM we trust

Exactly. In theory we should have one of the best defences in L1, (except possibly in goal) admittedly we have let goals in against lower opposition but they will need time to gel. The midfield is getting there with the addition of Lameiras and Vincelot, and I know the striker's role is/are the...

I'm sure in my mind this is the sort of thing that is holding things up, no guarantees that it will happen or that it will work but there never is. I'm not a blind optimist but I can see getting the right player(s) in even after 3 or 4 games have been lost is a better option than getting the...

Look at the difference 2 players made last year, Ward & Samuel. I seem to remember our form since TM came would have got us close to the playoffs over a whole season.

I know we are not in an ideal position at the moment (to put it mildly) but I look at it like this. TM is a very cautious person, he has shown that in his 2 negotiations for the job, also last season after he got Ward in, he said he could sign others on loan but didn't see the point unless...

Thank you Stu, people on the forum always ask where is the source (rightly) so now I just put a link in if I see anything that might be of interest and expect people to read it for themselves. There was no intention to mislead.

Really, do I have to? By his own admission TM's key attributes for a player are professionalism and commitment, etc. So any hint of work-rate issues are bound to raise concerns. admittedly they are from one source only, but as TM says you can only spend the money once. Ruben will have more...

How on earth do you come to that conclusion?

Workrate concerns might be why TM is cautious. "He has talent, but I don't think it covers up for his limitations personally. He's not a particularly hard worker and maybe that's it - perhaps needs to graft a bit more."...

This is beginning to look like a genuine push for promotion, I can't see any point in putting the effort into strengthening the defence as we have, unless we continue that effort throughout the team. Top 2 for me
