Yes there is. I am sure it was stated that there was wage money available for players.A few signings? Where from? Is there any plan to? Stop dreaming - the club is fucked.
Let's not get too downhearted. I know it all looks crap and we do look a very poor team, but 3 or 4 astute signings could make all the difference.
Let's hope Slade has some quality lined up. He recruits really well I think we'll be okay. If he fails to improve the squad then of course we are almost nailed on certainties to go down.
Have my fingers heavily crossed.
People have to keep a lid on it a bit. This squad stated poorly but under MV won 5 in a row before falling again. There is more to that than simply saying they are all crap? As Otis says a handful of shrewd signings and the return of Stokes, Stevenson etc plus Slade getting his feet under door may make all the difference. We are a win from safety. Everyone in the bottom 8 is crap tbf.You saying this is a worthy squad then? You're having a laugh they are dreadful... our only shining light is a kid fresh from the academy and we are pinning our hopes to him... totally unfair
It's the fans fault
I didn't think Astute still played these days!Let's not get too downhearted. I know it all looks crap and we do look a very poor team, but 3 or 4 astute signings could make all the difference.

The key question: Will Slade provide the infamous "New Manager Bounce" or will it be a case of "It will take time"?
Peterborough away before that on new years eve . So could be rock bottom when Bolton come to townAnd high flying Bolton up next....
Bugger forgot that game.Peterborough away before that on new years eve . So could be rock bottom when Bolton come to town
Already making breakfast enquiries. No doubt that we need help
Yeah see sw's post 362 above!Has Slade been on yet?

Yeah, January is huge. I'd send all the loanees back and try and replacement them with better quality and or more experience. E.g. I like sterry but of you could bring in a couple of decent centre backs Willis can play right back.Well at least it's only taken him one game to work it out and he's not saying everything is fine, just need abbot of luck or similar.
Feel our season will be decided on what he can do in the January window.
Many said that about TM they soon turned on him.I already like what Slade is saying....
Nothing 'inspirational' but what he said was on the money. He recognises exactly what and where the issues are and clearly intends on some hard work to solve the immediate problems, gain some focus and start producing on the pitch what we are failing to do at present.Slade said nothing that inspires me to get off my arse and go to Peterborough. This team has relegation written all over it.

Unlike TM he seems to have a plan wouldn't you say? I wish him all the luck in the world. Given his CV I believe we will stay up and whatever he achieves in bringing that change of fortune will determine where it goes from there come May.
Football is a funny old game so you can't just suppose the next two games look dire for us. We have seen how that can so misrepresented so often is the case.
Fortunately I do.Remember the 3-2 classic at HR v Arsenal on this day in 1999?
Merry Christmas everyone......
Fortunately I do.
I pity the kids and teenagers that go up there now. They haven't even got the memories of good times.
I went in there before the game seemed okDon't go to the queen vic lots of unhappy looking gas heads

Try looking at the real reason for our shit team and club rk instead of blaming the manager time and time againI will never forgive tm and mv for this summers recruitment
And what do we do when willis, stevenson and stokes are sold in january to fund the sisu new years partySend agyei, wright and mcbean back and Mcann leaving anyway. Bring in two centre halves and shift Willis to right back, hopefully stokes will be back soon also.
So potentially have Willis and stokes as full backs with two new centre halves which if the two centre halves are competent would be a pretty solid defence to build on if they are coached right.
I wouldn't be unhappy to have page and sterry till the end of the season, decent cover to the two full backs I named above and also a different kind of full back if we need to go a different approach (also the thought of Kelly Evans and Haynes scare the shit out of me)
We also need at least one ball winner in the midfield, someone who will run for days put in hard tackles and pick up second balls.
