    sometimes i think fans can have a 'clouded view' about players...if they do not like the manager or the recruitment team for instance they seem to pick all the bad points up, some just cannot seem to get their heads round the fact that these are division three type players and the reason they play in the lower leagues is that they never quite manage the level or consistency to play higher up.

    hopefully, we will all think more of him once he gets a steady run in the team but i do think he has shown he can play a bit, at this level at least.

    If he had to run around the pitch with a helicopter fire extinguisher above his head for motivation with nasty men screaming at him, well, would probably only take a few laps to correct the problem.

    or on ROPs with some angry PTIs taking him over the assault course 20 times with a bucket of piss and **** donated by the squad above his head, kicking his arse for None compliance,funny you never hear complaints about those days, your fellow peers had some nasty tricks to make you conform, so the squad didnt get **** because of 1 man

    that's what we were taught, in our mob you were pushed out for not supporting your team in murderball with the medicine ball, there was always a few broken bones, and failure to jump, an instant discharge, loads of failures in P co, on the trapesium, a few wet the keks on the jump across

    That 'squad' fills me with dread, especially as Huddersfield and Blackburn fans say our new signings are gash!

    With Lee Johnson’s record, it is slightly worrying. The only manager in the world who would manage to sign a left back worse than Callum Mcfadzean (See Vokins in January)

    I think he'll end up in the top half of the Championship but won't establish himself in the PL ...

    ... mind you, a fair few said that about Alonso <laugh>

    The last year of contract phenomena might be a factor. Seemed to do Wyke no harm.

    Doyle is going to be a very good back up, has a lot of potential. My source told me about this one over a week ago, glad we finally got it over the line.

    Let's hope he's a lot better than what Steve Doyle was.

    Fingers crossed mate, it’s about time we started putting more faith in youth.

    Getting a bit concerned that Pritchard might indeed be injured. Immediate pictures of Doyle and Evans linking up with the lads once they signed, but nothing of Pritchard.
