Re: Alou Diarra is Set to Leave...

Kept on seeing him on the bench but didn’t have a clue who he was! :roll: Obviously a high profile number two! Hopefully Bould who apparently doesn’t attend matches and the several hundred other bench warmers will depart. Let’s get in good old fashioned managers and assistants who can motivate the p...

Re: Why are we such a poorly run football club ?

Bill we are usually saved by the difference in quality of the Championship compared to League1. So at least two clubs normally find it is a leap too far. However as you say luck has a habit of running out and the inevitable will happen unless this club has aspirations and is set up for top six or ei...

Re: Why are we such a poorly run football club ?

It’s the week to week silence in respect of the club which gets me. Do they think supporters should not be given information on players injuries and possible ground improvements etc. They are happy to take our match day money but obviously that doesn’t buy knowledge of the club and the future plans....

Re: Promotion at Villa Park in '68...

Another memorable day so soon after the League Cup Final success. We ended up on the halfway line and I can remember looking in awe at the size of the Holte End which was standing in those days. A game of mixed emotions finally delivered the ending we wanted and to achieve promotion on the last day ...

Stan B stand roof refurbishment

Re: Seven Development Squad Players Set to Leave..

You have to wonder if any of these players would have had a natural progression

I wish them all well in their future careers.

Re: Request to Christian Nourry

As I have said many times before the communication with and appreciation of supporters has become over time a reducing factor. Gone are the days gate receipts and help from directors kept the club going. In the early days we had a voice but not now. I agree the level of communication from above the ...

Re: Performance and Team - Both weak as piss

Yes Tommy unless we completely sort out the managerial and support staff we will have yet another season like this. Steve Bould our defensive coach (73 conceded) should be charged under the Trade Descriptions Act. A joke of an appointment that showed no improvement in our defensive abilities as the ...
