Pilch I think most of us follow them through thick and thin ,that doesn't mean on a message board we cannot or should not express our concerns( and in my concerns deep concern) at the malaise within the club (indeed over the last year you have done an awful lot of expressing your unhappiness as you will surely admit ? ) This is so far a really poor season I hope as we all do ,it turns round but with this team it may be tough ask it doesn't mean I cant post a counter argument either, especially when bizarrely being accused of being happy with a defeat etc in fact I can only remember 1 person this season hoping that we lose games Who’s fooled? Most people just don’t give two hoots about the “Pizza Cup” In its current guise, I actively hope we lose 3/3 group stage games each season Oh look talking about me again - I’ve explained my rationale on that awful competition enough times so won’t waste my time again

Non specifically that the club is currently a shambles with some very unhappy players and its reputation has taken a real hit compared to what was in place previously. This is coming from players currently in the EFL. so they have nothing to do with the club and some or all haven't since the rickets era, buy hey its a rumour that will suit several anti town moaners so they will take it as gospel and yet the same people hear rumours direct from current staff at the club and quickly brush them off a lies Someone ‘very close’ to RW who was involved in the instigation of a complaint against SC’s which forced RWs hand is likely to exaggerate the facts and even leak RWs version of the truth due to the mess of a reshuffle which left fans bemused and was reshuffled 4 months later. Personally don’t believe we’ll have a DOF by the end of the season, it was a silly idea, can you get odds like with managers?

Whatever welshshrew has heard is likely direct from players and the like who’ve kept in touch with each other. Loyalty isn't the word I'd use to describe Jaynes relationship with the chairman.

Stats that don’t suit your agenda you mean? I give praise when deserved (after derby game) and criticise when deserved (most games this season) I’m sorry you can’t be as rational my agenda is pro town follow them through thick and thin, yours is anti town, follow them and give stick unless they win That's admirable, and I think most are the same. I think most are pro-town in person and at games just some air their opinions online which I guess is what B&A is for?

I do agree with you about chances created though, we are creating a few.

Given Sheffield Wednesday's two goals today, there is now only one club, out of the 92, that has scored fewer goals than us so far this season, and that's the basket case that is Cheltenham. If that's not a reality check on how poor things are I don't know what is. Big job for Taylor to sort this out.

One of the strangest things for me is how few we score from crosses. If you’re playing five at the back, with two up front, then you expect to see wing backs raiding up and down, putting crosses in for the two up top.
It’s probably because we tend to play with central midfielders shoe-horned into the wing back positions. But if you carry no threat whatsoever from crosses then you probably aren’t going to score many.
Ogbeta is probably the only genuine wing back that I think we’ve had.

Is there anything you can share? lets have a guess 3 ex town players, they are still playing in the EFL possibly a welsh side ? how about Newport country ? yesterday they had they never present Matty Bondwell playing, he must really miss being here Aaron Wildig and Bryn Morris ok possibly not as Wildig was more like 10 years ago but I like this game anyway anyone else playing this game ? cant be many suspects ;-) hope someone comes up with a more plausible suggestion than I did

How much money will we get if we sell the prolific Knill? He's doing a job for us every week.

It's certainly not pretty. It's all on RW either way, he's created and caused this. We'll see what happens as they say ...

Interesting to compare Cotterill's start and the three closest either side of him.

We’re still waiting for that ‘one of these days we’re going to blow a team away’ that Taylor promised about a month ago…

I think it's fair to judge after 23 league games, half a season is enough to at least start looking decent and start implementing your identity. We're just a btec version of last year at the moment without the quality, tactical nous and footballing awareness. Hopefully that'll change very soon.

Or is it a matter of "shooting the messenger" instead of responding to the message?

I just checked the table , we are 17th , kind of our average position for most of the past decade
I'm wondering what all the screaming is about
Must be something to do with Halloween ?
Either than or town lost their last game

Either than or town lost their last game It might also be the case that not all of us are prepared to accept any longer what, at best, can be described as "average" Just my opinion of course, and I have no wish to engage in a thread-destroying exchange.

If anyone is feeling confident you can almost get 4/1 on town beating Bolton at home a week tomorrow.
