Here's hoping. Not counting my chickens. When we got Freddie he was supposed to be a really good player and David Bell too and Clingan and McSheff was supposed to shine for us again and McIndoe looked like he was a great buy .... and ..... Too many false dawns.

But we have lost some of our best players and replaced them with unknowns who possibly aren't so good. If we still had Cranie and Keogh in League One I would fancy our chances a lot more.

Yep and if they get it wrong like they do maybe we will finish 14th just like I have predicted! :whistle: And yes it does vary, which is why I went on Oddscheker.

Did I say they were right every time? Is more often than not 'every time?' i think not.

That was a team of Gary Breen's.

Too true. Too true.

Are they right more often than wrong or not?

We have to attain a winning mentality. We simply have to. No more feeling sorry for ourselves and more steel and grit and having the ability to grind our results.

Thanks, Stu. Is a certain person's football knowledge somehow inept themselves perchance? :whistle::whistle::o The bookies have us at 10/3 for promotion, MK Dons at 9/4, Bournemouth and Notts County at 9/2. Is their football knowledge inept I wonder? Bookies are more often than not correct...

i said we could find ourselves being underdogs in these games, not that we will be. Haven't looked at the fixtures, but if say Bournemouth are top 2 and we are 10th or 12th we would surely go in as underdogs wouldn't we? I said in another thread that we need to come out of the blocks firing on...

Yup. When Thorn has got it right i am usually the first on here after games to tip my hat to him. When he has got it wrong i have rightly criticised him. I have never called for his head and cheer on the team every game. How on earth is that not backing the manager and the team just because I...

I have never heard such tosh in my entire life. What a stupid statement. You haven't got a clue. I always, always, always back the team, always have, always will. I have been there come rain or shine, been there when other people have turned their backs on the team. Even at Christmas when I...

People slag him off because he's been very, very poor for us, despite manager after manager continually saying what a good player he is. You get about 3 or 4 good performances out of him per season and the odd great goal. 5 goals in nearly 4 years and the bloke has got an excellent shot on him...

How do you chest a penalty?

Wish I was. One of the main factors for me is that this club has had a losing mentality for many, many years and it has been so long since we had a winning season. Personally I think we need to come flying out of the blocks. Just can't see it happening mind.

You need to take off your rose-tinted Championship spec off then don't you! ;) This is League One and this is what we are now, a League One club. instead of Leshtur and Brum and West Ham being challenging games for us, we now have to face up to the fact that we could well be underdogs when...

Completely agree. Cyrille had one good season, but that is all clouded over as he helped us win the cup. Dion wins hands down. At times with Dion we were a one man club so influential he was. Dion hardly ever had a bad game for us. Regis was brilliant for West Brom and overall, just okay for...

While we buy players for peanuts.
