No-one we sign will be a back-up. They'll either be players good enough to challenge or development players.

This is exactly where my nerves are coming from. It's not that I necessarily think it will go pear-shaped, but the knowledge of just how awful I know it will be if it does is terrible.

When the game starts, I'll want us to win, because I always do, but this year I don't want us to give it full attention. Fringe players regardless of who we draw, please.

We've conceded a goal a game on average. Hardly pant-wetting territory. If you're expecting to go through the season without jeopardy or mistakes, that is ridiculous.

End of what? The possibility of promotion?

Agree. He was good enough, but his body couldn't deal with the rigours of being a professional athlete. He was rushed back on more than one occasion too, which would have been to his detriment. As well as Allen, from that team probably Hyam has gone on to establish himself the best.

Come on, get a hat-trick now.

That's not bottling it, that's just incompetence. It's hard to think of a more clear cut penalty.

Come on.

Says the fucking king of self-awareness. :rolleyes:

As did Robins. Our rise is as remarkable as any, when you consider the circumstances.

It was enough to point out the irony.

*I'd have taken them.

Neither am I. In fact, the only comment I can see in this discussion to him being a shit manager is one from you saying, 'shit manager according to some'. So I've no idea who you're referring to.

Why does everything have to be so black and white with you? He's competent enough to achieve promotion when he can wildly outspend his opponents and is able to bring in players above the level he's playing at. Beyond that, who can say how good he is.

Aye. It's an achievement, clearly, but the amount they've been able to outspend their rivals, it would have been significant failure not to get their promotions. Some described him as being 'backed financially' up thread; that's a significant understatement. They've been bank-rolled. It's like...

Someone on Wiki thinks so:

I agree with you. I've said several times you should always pick the strongest team possible.

They were forced changes. It wasn't just that, either; as well as three of the back four not fit to start, we only had Grimes and Allen available to start in the middle; that wasn't the right combination for a physical team like Wrexham. A more robust midfield and you can protect the defence...

They both did. Thomas was missing.
