That is very positive coming from Reg.

Indeed, he might be turning...positive?

Wellens' latest comments suggest quite clearly that recruitment is down to him. Not that that will stop the conspiracy theorists.

Better than turning Japanese..... (that's a throwaway British cultural reference btw, I'm an admirer of Japanese culture, apart from the anomalous war years)

As posted recently the points required to stay up in Div 4, do vary between seasons by sometimes 10 or more. If you get a couple of proper strugglers or maybe someone deducted points, then it's much easier.  Not something to rely on though... Macc do look in trouble but what about Numb.... they did the sack the old head, replace with young inexperienced coach gambit and he hasn't won in 10.  Now maybe it's taken Duff this long to sort a few things out, and they'll pick up, further they've 2 games against us.

If Numb beat Notts on Saturday that throws the cat amongst the pigeons.... Notts are doing a very good impression of being worse than us...

His comment about players aged 26-28 is fair enough I think we all see that.... these are players in their prime and cost. Best of luck with that Rich.

It's like when Tactics said we needed some experience in the window, and got Dabo, Colkett, Feruz, Conroy and Jesse Starkey... Ince although mid 20's had only got 50 odd games under his belt

its quite obvious that power has recruited wellen above others purely based on him playing the way he would like his team to play. no problem with that, we do seem to have the players to fit.

for all of our long ball and crossing it doesn't seem to have worked. players like doughty and anderson especially could benefit from getting it down and playing triangles.

it worked fantastically for the playoff season but then again we did have tens of millions worth of players in the team. without those we ended up with anton rodgers trying to what luongo made look easy.

its a tough ask but i like having a team that plays in a consistent style of play and then you can really build and buy a team into that. having a style of play also helps with attracting decent loan players.

i did laugh to myself the last home match when you keep seeing the sprinklers come on at a half time just so we can play brown hoof ball. if wellens needs a decent surface then christ we have had one of the best pitches in the lower leagues consistently for many a year.

really out of the loop here but is there any possibility that Noel Hunt could don his boots and perhaps do a "Richards" (last season's, not this!) for us?

I'd imagine that 8 goals from 30 odd games in the last 5 and a half years would clinch it for Power.

Strange choice of outlet, but sounds entirely logical and mirroring most fans’ opinion.
