I understand your point mate, but a lot of the bulk of the squad has stayed the same. Plus it seems the mindset side of things becomes inset over time unless you get a massive clear out and a real freshness.
we have 13 players , who have been here for at least 18 months and that losing mentaility and the reasons for this has become it seems inset. I like many are hoping at the end of the season we get a major fresh start. When you have such a bad season as last season was, both on and off the field, you need an overhaul to change the culture . A few fresh players wont fix something deep like this , it needs more. This seemingly couldn't happen this summer, but am sure it will next summer regardless of division.
Losing mentality?! How many have we lost in the last 8 games in all competitions? ONE. Where do we stand in the League 1 form table? SECOND. If that’s losing mentality, let’s be having more of it! You’re obviously set in your position even though it’s bonkers with no basis in reality or truth, give it a rest 🤷♂️ Well we have still lost 5 games so far this season , have we not ? Our own head coach has talked about changing the mentaility into a winning one ? We are yet to win a game from comming from behind, therefore if / when we do we lose bar Crawley .... The club / squad still has a long way to go , to turn this fully around. In our last game we concded 2 goals with 2 shots on target and oooo btw we lost to a part time Tamworth team in our last two games alone . The idea that the losing mentaility has fully shifted is bonkers in itself. By the time the January window, we will know if the mentaility has turned the corner not right now , due to the tough period of games coming up. We also recently lost 4 straight games did we not ? or do you only go back like a week or two and then thats it its sorted? |

I don't believe the Warnock survival, the Corberan season, the Wagner years as anomalies. I see them as effective co-adaptations to the environment to achieve success in those moments. That doesn't mean the success will be linear.

One of his favourite phrases has been that he and the players need to get the fans back on side.
Can you imagine them doing anything like this? I don't know if Duff has that joy and warmth about him that makes me really like a manager.

Yes, because we're not a team of players that has the ability to win every game.

To do what you're doing and suggest there's "bad egg" players in there that are purposely coasting or not putting the effort in is doing them a disservice and disrupting peoples thought for no good reason. There may well be a couple of that ilk, we don't know, its not "obvious" as you've suggested. I've suggested Wiles is mentally weak and lets himself down pretty much since day one and repeatedly this season (whilst he's been scoring in amongst) - and I stand by that, BUT, no way is he some kind of bad egg who is sitting out a contract without putting the effort in, he's giving his all, its not his fault that he's not really good enough for fans expectation of us flying at the top, banging 5 in every other week, and I'll continue to back and encourage him every week during the games. We don't have a 'right' to be winning every game. Get used to it. |

Check out any presser or just go and listen to Wiles post northampton or the recent tom lees one and you tell me. All they talk about is too much pressure and the other team out worked us "you know what i mean". I can accept a lot as a town fan, but too much pressure and being out worked is not acceptable. When hard work is a minimum and too much pressure ? Reallly , when you think our fans have being rather paitent with the group. When you consider at home games last year the amount of times we got pumped and over the last 18 months the amount of times we have fallen apart ... |

Charlton W
Orient W
Wigan W
Mansfield W
Lincoln D
Cambridge W
Stockport D
Burton W
Wigan W
Why on earth wouldn’t it be!

I don't know if Duff has that joy and warmth about him that makes me really like a manager. Maybe not, but current circumstances and general vibe at Brentford are totally different. We're still working our way through this somewhat stand-offish atmosphere where supporters are hesitant to emotionally re-invest after successive recent disappointments. The only way that bond is going to be restored is by Duff delivering a sustained run of positive results & performances. |

I am sure that the only people that are undermined by what is posted on this site are people who will be swayed by whatever they hear last.
Supporters have seen us falling to bits piece by piece since we were relegated from the Premier League. Anyone with confidence in the team and the club at the present moment must be blind to where we are and how we got here.
We all want to have confidence in the club and we want us to turn the corner and get back in to the Championship at the very least. It just takes a bit more than a bit of paint on the stadium and the release of a few videos diaries etc to make people believe that we are heading in the right direction.

The squad assembled can only really play Duff’s favoured formation of 3-5-2.
We have no wingers or pacy forwards that could play left and right of a central striker.
Will it be addressed in January ?
Duff has had a few times that they have changed formation mid game - trouble is he doesn’t have the players.
So you can paint as much of the ground as you like but Nagle and Cartwright have an awful lot of work to do in the forward positions.

That’s how I see it anyway |

That’s how I see it anyway Can’t disagree. As I said duff needs more options. Defensively we have plenty of options and likewise in midfield, certainly good enough for this league. Ward - stealing a wage. Healey - probably our best option but not very mobile. Marshall - young kid learning - inconsistent. Koroma - it will be interesting to see how he picks up after injury. Bojan - very slow (Helik looked quicker in the build upto Wiles’s goal against Man Utd u21’s) a panic buy and I’m sorry but did anybody actually see him play before we signed him ? I doubt it. Didn’t Nagle “own “ that one though ? He told Cartwright to sign some forwards and doesn’t blame him. |

Your only reading bits and attacking as such which is fine, but what i have said is not all is sorted and we are back on the road, which we aren't but even the manager is saying that. We are closer now than we were but not fully there yet which the results have shown. |

We are closer now than we were but not fully there yet which the results have shown. You don't really seem to know what you are saying to be honest. A few days go you were saying that we had a squad full of bad eggs and guys you wouldn't want to go for a pint with in the pub. You seem to have back tracked on the bad eggs thing.... Or do you still think we have a squad full of bad eggs? If so I'd be quite interested to know how many that are still with us from last season are the bad eggs and if any of the new signings are bad eggs? Genuine question as to how many of the current first team squad are bag eggs? More recently you seem to be saying we have a loosing mentality and not everything is fine....Well we all kinda know that. There's not a single fan that thinks everything is all rosy and all the problems from last season are gone. Everyone knows that the culture of the club, both on and off the pitch, needs changing to a more positive / winning culture. That's what Nagle & Co are trying to do off the pitch and what Duff & has coaching staff are trying to do on the pitch. Cultural change doesn't happen in a few months, it takes time. Especially when the underdog, punching above our weight, survivalist mentality is so engrained. And now you're saying that all is not as bad as last season and we're in a happy middle ground between where we were last season and where we want to be...... So unless I have read your posts over the last couple of days incorrectly, you've gone from a Squad full of bad egg, wankers, that you wouldn't want to have a pint with. To a bunch of losers who are happy to put the minimum of effort in. To a happy middle ground between where we were and were we want to be..... So what are you actually trying to say about the squad, as I'm a tad confused on what your actually saying |

While I’d love these predictions to come true dezzly - The bold one is the one that I definitely wanna win the most (Cos all being well I should be there) ! 😉 Be great if Town get a result on Saturday for Lossiemouthtownfan as he’s coming a fair old distance... And to get the patrons of H-Town off to a perfect start... 🍺 🥃 Oh and probably most important of all - To attain three vital points ! 👍 |

That’s how I see it anyway Marshall can play wide? He’s barely been good enough in his natural position let alone in one he’s never played in. From what I gather he’s played wide(in a 3 not as an out and out winger) for a large proportion of his youth career. Northern Ireland also play 3-4-3 and he tends to be the one left of the central striker when he does start. |

Duff to have them catch fire now…..the only obvious results up to and including New Year’s Day is the following Charlton W Orient W Wigan WMansfield W Lincoln D Cambridge W Stockport D Burton W Wigan W Why on earth wouldn’t it be! While I’d love these predictions to come true dezzly - The bold one is the one that I definitely wanna win the most (Cos all being well I should be there) ! 😉 Be great if Town get a result on Saturday for Lossiemouthtownfan as he’s coming a fair old distance... And to get the patrons of H-Town off to a perfect start... 🍺 🥃 Oh and probably most important of all - To attain three vital points ! 👍 I think you’ll get your wish against Wigan though clearly I’m a bit tongue in cheek with those predictions.In saying that though we need to be very close to them to have any chance of even having a sniff of autos(I know many think that’s gone already) We’ve been pretty strong at home result wise other than the two abominations against Blackpool and Northampton.It’s cliche but we do need to make the place a fortress.If by the turn of the year we have won most games at home it will start to be a psychological thing for opponents coming to us. |

Michael Duff has taken outlandish stick from many on here and beyond
the bloke came into this club in the eye of a storm
the work he has done up to press is top class
not withstanding being hamstrung (pardon the pun)by a strike force which to put it politely is inferior to our promotion rivals
for my money Kevin Nagle would be wise to build our club back up
around Michael Duff
when Duff speaks ,sense follows
keep on keeping on Michael Duff
first six month report A

I'd give him a B- so far |

Questions marks over his tactical acumen for me, we’ve not looked particularly well drilled at any point and have looked desperately poor at times.
Particularly as the quality in this league is really lacking.
However we’ve not got a strike force worthy of the name so he’s got the benefit of the doubt.
Really don’t like the insistence on 3-5-2.

We’re not being lifted off our seats every 5 mins are we?
That’s just my take. We’re in a good place, but we feel like we should be a middling team when you consider our performance levels.
Oh for a Town side to get us all rocking again…

Good to see him bigging the fans up in his programme notes yesterday. Wonder if someone's had a word...
