The problem is, half the fans will use whatever is said as a stick to beat the club with, half will just post abuse in reply, another half will tell them that they shouldn’t be saying anything and Dunc will step closer to having an injunction placed on him for online stalking. Or they stay quiet and another half of the fan base demands communication. The club really can’t win. You're not a maths teacher, are you ? 🫣😁 |

"We accept that things have not gone to plan of late but we have every confidence that things will improve. We have the core of a competitive squad and will look to significantly strengthen in key areas in January to give Darren and his team every chance of a successful second half of the season. We have already identified key targets we believe are both ambitious and realistic to help us achieve our goals both in the short and the long term. We understand our fans are frustrated with recent performances and results. We are too. We want to reassure fans we have a realistic, achievable plan that is already underway, and that things will look very different in the not-too distant future."There, that wasn't difficult, was it? It isn't difficult to SAY things, what is difficult is backing them up with actions. If they cant action what is said (to keep people happy) then there is no point saying anything as anything said will come back to bite them in the arse later down the line. Would anyone believe anything said at this point anyways? All any statement put would attract is a load of abuse and a 'we've heard it all before' from fans. Best thing the people involved in the running of the club can do at the moment is actually work to turn this situation around, not put out soundbites full of waffle and 'we are going to do...' just get it done and turn the club fortunes around. They can't back it up though until the window opens can they? When the squad is fit, it is a competitive squad. If they don't back what they say up in January, things will be different. |

I would say this 11 with subs would compete every game. Nicholls Turton helik Pearson ruffels Hogg kasumu Thomas rudoni koroma Bergzorg Subs Maxwell Lees Nakayama Wiles Ward REG Diarra Jackson Harratt Others may swap players in or out. But that 20 I believe would compete. |

I think saying that at this stage would be a bit unfair on Moore and the players also, and could easily be read as interference even if not intended that way. |

Have we heard anything from Edwards & Cartwright since their initial interviews? They're the ones put in place by Nagle to run the club, it's about time they fronted upto the fans and explain their decision making and how we're going to get out of this spiral of their creation. I’d love to listen to a detailed explanation of how they assessed that the club were so strong in forward areas, they sent Rhodes out on loan. because he was earning a wage representative of a second tier striker, not playing, and the manager at the time had no intention whatsoever of playing him, so they decided to free up the wage in order to bring in a new striker, which they then failed to do. |

I know that thanks. The Manager at the time was wrong. The squad was / is too weak to accommodate his loss. |

Sad thing is..... I listened to the first few minutes and turned it off.... Ive no interest in listening anything about the club whilst we continue to roll over and have our bellies tickeled by the likes of Hull. Looking forward to some non-league this weekend and thats probably what I will go and watch whenver huddersfield are away, I might continue to use my season ticket, but even then, a roll over performance vs southampton and i might leave it in the drawer until something changes. Sad times. |

Don’t know what people have been watching, honestly. Since Kasumu’s been injured, he’s the second coming of makelele. People forget he struggled to pass it 5 yards most games |

People forget he struggled to pass it 5 yards most games Whenever players are out of the team, they always become better in the eyes of Town fans. Look at the clamour for Hudlin this season ffs, and Danny Grant last season, for two recent examples. |

Competitive squad in my mind means top half,I don't think we would be at full strength.

Or they stay quiet and another half of the fan base demands communication. The club really can’t win. Perfect example of people demanding communication, Dean Hoyle puts a statement out saying we won't sleepwalk to relegation. When we get relegated, it gets used as a stick to beat him and the club with. And not only that, people now use it every single season as a stick to beat the club with. No matter what the owner or the club does, it will be used as ammunition later on for whatever agenda is popular at that time. But we did sleepwalk into relegation, so far this season we have jumped towards relegation starting with the summer window and then pressed the accelerator towards that goal when we changed manager. The club put out a couple of videos and some people want to give them years to sort out the mess they caused. |

The coaching team were sent out to do an interview, albeit one which filled me with little confidence in their abilities at this level.
Where are Edwards and cartwright ? Shouldn't they be sticking their heads above the parapet and be engaging with the fans in these difficult times ?

Two week international break and all the club put out was a poor training video and an interview with the backroom staff. The club are so shit at putting any decent content out.

Apparently they are too new for some on here, they don't know anything and aren't responsible for anything. The same people said that they need until after next summers window before they can be judged, they seem to think that DM needs the same amount of time as well. Christ only knows where we would be by then  |
