Grass steroids?

That may be the case, but I don't believe either just happened upon goalscoring forwards and rode their luck all the way, just that Pressley made use of them by sacrificing all notions of defending.

True, but I'd argue that he allowed them to be prolific rather than it being something that would just have happened regardless. The same kind of thing was said about Mark Robins and while he'll always be on my shitlist, I similarly don't buy the argument that he only did well because...

Our sexual tension could light a Christmas tree!

Despite me having a handbag slapfight with tony on page 1, I agree with him absolutely about last season. Pressley did an admirable job despite the late season falter and to claim that was just the players whereas this season is all him is moving the goalposts a little too much to suit an agenda.

I'd blame the team for a lot, but not for that.

Anything involving his family would be completely unreasonable.

Yeah, I mean this season specifically. We've gone from lofty ambition to nervous glances at the table with the same group of players outside the odd change, so it can't be all working conditions and money.

One of the reasons I couldn't see a new stadium built is that it'd mean a new one was sat unused nearby. Having a second stadium seems less ridiculous as a concept now there's top flight sport at the Ricoh either way, but still, nah.

I'm all for the idea of Pressley being given adequate time and all, but the notion that he's doing as well as anyone else possibly could with the same players is ludicrous. We were on the cusp of the top six at one point with the same players who now are flirting with relegation. At some point...

Lucky for them the club shop space was vacated for them well in advance.

I'd be for Eric Black having another go at some point if only to answer the 'what if' scenario that'll always be there.

The Gillingham game felt like a real homecoming, but since then I've felt a similar kind of thing. It's not just a sense of place but a real apathy too, that year away has done damage I fear is unrepairable.

Moving from Wycombe to here isn't the initial damage, but it's repeating it which isn't much better. They were there long enough to attract new local fans there as well as uprooting longer standing fans with a move even further from their original base.

If we're dictating censorship rules, please delete all of tony's replies in every thread and make him move to the back of the bus. Cheers.

I don't want Pressley out. Your tone is less apologetic by the post, tony.

People becoming upset about something that affects local teams isn't made invalid if they weren't following the tribulations years ago.

Apology accepted. I assumed you were aware of how football works, clearly not.

I'm not calling for his head. I'm almost not throwing the toys out about people criticising the manager rather than blaming the owners for everything, which is what you've subtly masqueraded your question as.

Don't ask a question with logic that trips you up.
