Yep I don't disagree with many of the thoughts, but time to get behind him and the team and get out of this horrible mess were in.
Absolutely!

Leigh Barnyard? FFS
Reg is spot on. 3 or 4 Lee Barnard's in the team and we probably wouldn't set the world on fire but we also wouldn't get relegated. The 'fans' who booed him at the start of the first championship season were morons.

He was never in my top ten in the team on matchday's.. but he did do a job most of the time. You knew that you would always get effort if little skill.

His first spell, was short, and concluded by the classic 2-6 defeat, under Macari, to Blackpool at the CG. Lou fired out Lingy, David Cole and Kenny Allen, and we went up.
From 4-0 down at half time we at least showed a bit of spirit, with Leigh Barnard showing the way with a brace, he's the sort of player we'll need to get out of the shit.
Remember the match, but can't recall Lingy at all. But then his style of play and Macari's were hardly compatible.... I remember the fans briefly getting on the backs of the players - a few jeers and even cries of "What a load of rubbish" (those were the days, eh....) from a few but the fans really got behind them in the second half and that seemed to inspire them. I also remember Mayes getting one of the Blackpool goals...much to the delight of the Town End

The one ray of hope I have, is that Crewe came up with us from Div 4, and each of the 3 seasons since, have looked likely to drop back again, but have survived by presumably sticking to their young player, passing philosophy.
No doubt we'll stick with ours now, so it can be done, despite conventional wisdom calling for muck and nettles football.

I'm hoping he'll be really motivated to prove a point after his time out of the game. If he can deliver on these words he'll be a perfect fit:

A few of us are hoping to do a little display in the DRS to welcome Lingy back to the CG. We have got a plan to get it going, just people & a bit of money* to buy stuff would be good. We're using this as a good reason to help push the team on and keep the atmosphere's as good as they have been for the last 2 or 3 games. Donate here gofund.me/stfcdisplays or ask me for a PayPal address to send any money to. We still have stickers available, so if you want some, just ask for them . * Yeah, har har, here's JayBox325 asking for a hand-out again! There, I've taken the piss so now you don't have to!

Having had depression doesn't mean you are unable to deal with pressure.
Jesus Christ I knew Town fans in general are thick as fuck but the level of ignorance is frightening.

I've suffered with depression and to be honest I think it makes you able to deal with more pressure if you've come out the other side.
