also its not Iffys fault, the board decided to sell his best player and top scorer right from under him in January.... Though of course, that best player was one of those turds you can't polish anyway.... |

He wasnt brilliant by any stretch of the imagination, but while here this season he was effective and we are a weaker side without him and we havent replaced his goals |

Point is if you think Fallon was our best player it kind of contradicts us only being in the shit because Iffy inherited all shit players.

i think cureton's gone some way to replacing fallon, although i think the idea was that peacock and cureton's combined efforts would more than sufficiently replace his goals.
sadly, peacock's not really hit it off and has struggled with both form and injuries.
i still believe the sale of fallon was somewhat of a neccessity and could keep us in business.

i think those people calling for the return of fans need to realise that this town is not, and never will be, a big 'home-team' football fan base. i'd say above 60% of the people on this forum are based outside the town, i reckon thats about average for the fans in total, possibly a bit lower. even in the premiership we didnt sell out, so theres no chance at all that at 3rd division level (soon to be 4th division) football is gonna drag in upwards of 5/6/7 thousand people. thats not gonna change.  |

We did sell out in the premiership quite a few times though. Sometimes the queues for tickets went on for about a mile.
But yeah that's true, unless we are battling for promotion 5-6000 is about all we'll get at this level.

Your having a Giraffe!, we sold out quite a few times and that was when the ground held 18,000. |

You know you're a small club when your best player plays against you for a side who were promoted from the league below the season before... We've gone from being a comparitively big-time club in this division to one of the minnows, and we seemed to sign quantity rather than quality more often than not. How many loan signings have we made this season that have hardly featured? I need only point to Jarrett and McPhee for recent examples....
However, when we spank Franchise on Saturday optimism will return. Does anyone know how long Peacock is out for? Is there any news on Smith's injury?
With regards to the substition of Whalley does anyone know if he was injured/leggy? Iffy may have felt he was getting tired. It's difficult for me to comment as I wasn't there, but I think sometimes people are a bit quick to jump on a manager's back for substititions. I heard Cureton had a niggle so Iffy probably didn't want to risk him for the best part of 70 minutes - especially as Jutkiewicz's has been knocking on the door of the first team.
