This isn't a knee jerk reaction or a hark back to the pre-summer era but a valid point.
The writing was on the wall pre season and if anyone still believes we've got what it takes with what's available then please tell me how.

Still beefing for the checkbook to be used?

I said you were clueless then and recent results have just re-affirmed that assesment.

The problem is that some fans think because we are champions for the last two years we should be winning convincingly every week. It seems we should be giving a good performance rather than just winning games, or god forbid losing them.

The results over Easter were not good but if we win SL again this year then it will be forgotten, or at least should be. I read posts on here from people complaining about mid season results even when we've gone onto win the title in previous years and those people beggar belief.

To answer your first point,yes I still wouldn't mind a couple of decent signings.


And secondly calling me clueless is absolutely your choice but 'd say dredging up a 3 month old thread just to have a snipe just plain SAD.

I think reading between the lines people would like the club to bring in some form of a marque player. I think sometimes this comes from jealousy of other clubs bringing in big name acts. For me as long as we have cover do we need to sign players on? Also do we need marque players or people who will do the job that is required? Look at the signing of Poaching. A lot questioned it but he did the job that was required. However, if we were to get s Burgess from down the road I don't think I'd moan

Oh my, what overwhelming "support" our great fans show.

Well, some of us do anyway.

I'm checking all these "historical documents" to make sure I've not made a t!t of myself. Thankfully this is my only contribution. Not particularly helpful to the thread, but safe enough.

Sometimes you have to eat a little bit of humble pie I suppose.

TBH at the time I posted that thread it looked as though we were going to be on our ar$es but hey! I'm only human and I'm not the only culprit.

I'll always hold my hand up if I'm wrong BUT the crystal ball aint working as well as it used to and in one sense the signing of Delaney,Pitts,Amor etc has justified my original question in part.
