Coaches can help players with skills, tactical knowledge and fitness. They can't teach people to be motivated. That starts away from the club at home, they have to bring motivation and a desire to do well with them to work. It is clearly Reid's attitude that is lacking not his skill base.

If he is ready he will keep the shirt. But we can't assume. Young players can lose confidence easily. It is a big step up no matter how well he is doing in the U23 and a season can be a long long time. We would be foolish to rely solely on him delivering the goods. But that doesn't mean he...

If anything I think we overplayed him around January. Needed two or three games on the bench. Firstly so he could recharge the batteries and secondly refocus.

We can't afford to rely on Ponticelli no matter how much promise he has. We need to find the right striker. Then let Ponticelli develop at his own pace.

I thought Martin had perhaps done enough to earn another contract. However Mowbray deciding he perhaps didn't quite have enough and releasing him wasn't necessarily a wrong decision. Turnbull I think had more potential and a better ball playing centre half, when playing with confidence. I...

My feeling is people are being over optimistic too early in the rebuilding process. The danger of this if we don't get off to a good start or stall after a few months we will have the sack the manager chorus all over again. So far things are looking hopeful, but we are 4 or 5 short. Yes a...

Yet when Mowbray arrived, he got Martin to concentrate on the basics and simple side of defending. It was under Mowbray that Martin started to look half decent. Before Mowbray arrived Martin was on most City fans lists to be binned at the end of the season.

Wasn't Kent, Armstrong and Murphy in the England youth set up? Wasn't one of Mowbray's assistants involved in the England youth set up? So I think they were targeted rather than signed on a whim.

And they are the optimists!

We had 5 to 6 years out of him, these days we are lucky if we get a season out of promising talent.

Yes correct, Falkirk sold him to Coventry City.

Sounds like you are the one having the melt down.

The stadium had its flaws and limitations, the future looked bright but it wasnt. I actually think the Ricoh is better than Highfield Road, it is just that our form hasn't been suited to the environment.

Who ironically went to Northampton.

But they are not making money, they are a failing business, even in their pomp they weren't that rich. Yes we were a basket case and in the shit but it was retrievable. They have compounded the situation and missed countless opportunities to salvage the situation. The worst thing they have...

What I was alluding to

National Express?

Yes it should be, but this pointless pursuit of legal action is a distraction. The again lack of communication from the owners to the fans about their business plan and what they are trying to achieve is bound to fuel suspicion and speculation. They could have justified a lot of things to the...

Yes we do, but she is taking that love and loyalty for granted.

The questions were reasonable. What is unreasonable is she thinks the fans don't deserve a bit of comment. Why will fans buy tickets if she is not prepared to share her business plan for the club.
