Dibden Purlieu Saint Posted 11 August, 2012 Share Posted 11 August, 2012 What has happened in the last few months? Fans staying away in pre-season, putting square pegs in round holes to fit a formation that we haven't adapted to at all well, a lack of the needed quality being brought in and an illegal approach that could lead to a transfer embargo. This season could be a disaster if we don't change this spiral of disappointments with positive news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperMikey Posted 11 August, 2012 Share Posted 11 August, 2012 I went to the Liebherr Cup and the Ajax game, but having just shelled out £525 for a ST and then £80 overall for Man City, forgive me for not going to any more pre-season friendlies. We're trying out new formations, new positions for players etc. Remember how sh!t we were during Wilkins' few games in charge and the first few games of Adkins' reign? That's what we're going through now. It's a period of transition but I think this new formation will be better suited to the Premier League.

The9 Posted 12 August, 2012 Share Posted 12 August, 2012 (edited) How can they be boring yet also amuse you? Bit of an oxymoron there. I'd be guessing that the content is boring but the context provided amusement. Eg "this bloke writes boring crap but it's funny he wastes so much time doing it". Random example plucked from my head... EDIT : as clarified above, amazing. If I was DP Saint (this stuff writes itself) I'd be slightly concerned no-one has bothered addressing the concerns. Maybe they have been over stressed recently? Are we to expect further concerns raised after the near-inevitable 3 defeats and unconvincing draw home to Wigan?

THERE IS NO CRISIS Pre-season results are meaningless (ask Man city if they are wrist slitting because they've lost in pre-season) The price of the home friendlies were ridiculous, hence the low crowds. Yes, it would be nice to have an additional CB and some extra cover at GK in the bag. No we are not going to be relegated having not scored a goal or gained a point all season (just following the logical progression of the wrist slitters on here) No we're not going to win the league (just saying that so no-one accuses me of being happy clappy as that would really hurt my feelings).

To be fair I have not mentioned the pre-season results, as I know they mean nothing, however the issue is the performances have been poor. The ticket prices being high I see as an organisation thing. Surely they made predictions on how many tickets they would sell at those prices, and they must have been mightily wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor Posted 12 August, 2012 Share Posted 12 August, 2012 Talk about poor performances when the season starts and a lack of signings when the transfer window shuts. Until then, stop bloody moaning. Amongst other things, the forum is here to comment on the running of the club, so telling someone to shut up seems rather silly. Let's hope the people running the club don't take Nexstar's advice, because once the season starts, poor performances will mean lost points and it will be very hard to turn around a poor start. As for lack of signings, there's not much point of complaining AFTER the window shuts when its too late for the club to do anything about it. Complaining now can have an effect as shown by Nigel Adkins' press conference where he said he wanted to assure fans signings were on the way, so the unrest seems to be on the club radar. Unfortunately, its looking as if any signings now will not have as much effect on the early games as they would have done if made weeks ago. One way to counter that would be to raise the level of the player quality brought in - in other words spend more now than might have been necessary in early July - but the probability of that looks very low. Already it looks as if some approaches failed for financial reasons and the 3 week halt on signings is very worrying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
