    I reckon that is exactly what would happen. Every time Johnson speaks we end up with loads of interpretations dependant upon peoples disposition. Right now the only thing they can do is their job, which should be kept behind the scenes. The constant clamour for updates and information is maddening, because when some does appear it is read or heard in lots of ways. Words dont cut the mustard mid transfer window, actions do. Let them get on with what their JD requires of them. If they fail to deliver a good side then they can be criticised and maybe then explain a few things. In the meantime Johnson will keep having to front up, it is his job to talk and pre and post match after all and I am sure he is ugly enough to cope with it.

    I think it'd be shock more than anything else. I'd need a defribulator! Any half decent side would go at us out wide and expose midfielders playing out of position.

    People have wrote the window off comments all over about it, and having a great start of the season isnt the be all and end all, plenty of clubs over the seasons have proved that, I'd rather get the right players in, instead of getting players in to just fill the gaps, will we get them player ? Who knows, but I trust the club to get them in, and certainly won't be going nuts until the window shuts, what would you say if we had a great player waiting for lb but couldn't come in until the end of the window but then we turned them down for a player like mcfadzen just do we could have a lb for the start of the season ?

    I honestly don't remember people being too thrilled to see Kone and Khazri sign, most people had never heard of them.

    Yes, but for different reasons, he is a complete and utter con man, I will wait and see what happens

    Relaxed here. The kids will be able to step up. And frankly I'd rather spend another season in league one than go down the same route again - signing old farts on top whack who can't get the job done.

    I keep getting the strange feeling that people concerned with the transfer situation are pushing others to be concerned.

    Can't they just be happily concerned on their own ...

    People's positions are getting more and more extreme. People have admitted it can change but position right now is poor and club can't have planned to be here now. Nowt we can do but moan and hope it gets better. Those who say everything's fine and

    Its the herd mentality man, suddenly loads are crapping themselves, we have pulled out of a deal for a full back I had never heard of and now the world is ending. Need to stockpile more food and fresh water

    They hadn't but trusted Sam Durley to his record and recognised they filled holes in the side.

    What I can't understand is, last season people were saying "get the kids in, they're better than whats out there - at least give them a chance!" Now the club is giving these kids a go and its now "we're gonna get hammered off Wigan!" who have some of those same players who weren't deemed good enough last season! Yes the team needs extra bodies in and behind the scenes will know that. The scenario at the minute is not ideal but we have to give this new way of doing things time to come to fruition. Yes Speakman said they had lists for both scenarios at the end of last year but we didn't have Harvey in place at that time. What if he came in and "tweaked" that list just a bit? Instead of going after player A who showed all the stats at the top of his game but Harvey reckoned he could be problematic or slighly injury prone but this other player had the same stats and is a better player? Its all ifs and buts at the minute and yes we need to get out of this league as quick as possible (ideally at the end of this season!!) but instead of getting on the club's back lets just sit back and wait to see what happens. KLD has spent money putting a new team in with a new way of doing things - how about giving it a chance before saying its ****?

    See my full response. Also moaning or debating is what these forums are for.

    Could wait till the window shuts and then if your not happy moan
    Everyone is entitled to a little moan mate nothing wrong with that but some fans are generally starting to give are fan base a reputation of been toxic, yes every clubs has them, but ares are well and truly out in force at the moment

    Try debating, it was you that mentioned moaning in the first place, and TBH its not just moaning, I am not quite sure what you call it, Iwantitnowism? Iamnothappystampmyfeetism? getthebedsheetsoutism ?
