On the subject of improving our chances of avoiding another relegation scrap this season,I feel,having stated before in numerous posts,the Urgent need for the club to bring in two experienced defenders.If not to provide cover for what we have already got,but keep them on their toes.If we don't sort out what was our "achilles heel" last season this term,then the early signs indicate a long,hard season of struggle.

I also feel,like others, the gap that Todd has left needs plugging.Sooner rather than later.Todd scored 10+ last season not to mention the countless assists he provided. It's just my opinion, but maybe giving Boco or Whalley (or Brown for that matter)a free role operating behind a front two(and the jury is still out on what our best forward pairing may be) may be a way forward. Boco is certainly wasted as a winger.

I,like many others, am concerned by the recent developments.A roof that is taking an eternity to complete,season tickets delayed and after the last two league games,a glimpse of what may lie ahead (i.e another struggle to keep our place in the league which we fought so hard to get back into.)

We all need to be singing from the same hymn sheet.And by that I mean the club and the supporters.After all one is redundant without the other.I think it's time for both to stand up and be counted.

I feel the club needs to be more open with the fans and by that I mean keeping the supporters informed with developments,be it the roof,season tickets,new players,budget etc.

We as supporters,also have a massive part to play.Like the Chairman and the manager have appealed,bring a friend.And instead of slating individuals for their performances lets get behind them.

If both(the club and supporters) keep pulling in opposite directions we will get NOWHERE !! FAST !! And if you're all looking for a moral to this, what might seem as a rant....Remember what happened in '62.
