Shame someone isn't able to discern between losing one's sh*t and being slightly perturbed that Lingy appears to be dragging his feet yet again.

Yeah, if Lingy didn’t always “drag his feet” we’d clearly have done much better than just the 2 promotions in 5 years!! It’s obvious there’s something wrong here - livid!!!!

Lingy has got lucky by appointing 2 decent managers out of the what, 15 or so?, he’s got through in the last 6 years….

It's actually 7, but don't let facts get in the way

Agyei , Forde and Theo were excellent on Saturday but if one or two of them get injured then we are Fcuked and so we do need to bring one or two in, and includes a wide man.

Personally I think we do have enough to stay in this league, but while we have a chance of a play off spot I think we should give Richie everything he needs.

The thing is there's a big difference in quality between starting Agyei and Forde than Pigott and Sotiriou. On the Theo front as RW said there is no backup for him at present.

More surprising we haven't moved any out the other way yet as it's been repeated we need to move players out to get ones in.

For whatever reason I still think there's a decent player in there who's just massively short on confidence and playing in a set up that doesn't suit him.

I wouldn't put him in that hall of shame category of no.9s who look like total donkeys but it's obviously not working here.

I just don't think he's playing with any confidence - I'm not sure if he is a 9 or a 10 but not done very much that catches the eye in either position to justify a starting spot - yet. I'm hoping he comes good I guess time will tell.
