Adver News: TEF Suicide Watch...

[Barry Scott]

This thread is beginning to make me feel angry.

Word. I think I'm gonna take some time away from the TEF until everyone's stopped working themselves into a depressive stupor, because I don't want to join in with this self perpetuating pessimism.

Must have woken up in a parellel universe. The comments on thisis appear more balanced than on here.

[Sussex]

This is how the Bridgend suicides started.

Really?

not Cuthbert?

I do rate Cuthbert. I just rate Greer and Amankwaah higher. Cuthbert this season could be as good as Greer tho.

This is what we all said last season about replacing Simon Cox. How many strikers did we start the season with?

Also the signing of Caddis whilst a good one, wouldnt fill the gaps left by Greer, Paynter or even Ferry and Ward.

Yes, and we all know how badly last season turned out.  Maybe patience pays off, rather than signing the first available players regardless of whether they fit in or not.  Christ Dave, you must really be a miserable fucker.

This thread reads like a discussion on emotional problems by a group made up entirely of hysterical emotionally traumatised women.

Did you even bother to read my posts or did you just decide to lable me miserable anyway like everyone else.

How good could last season have been if we'd started the season with Austin? Hypothetical I know but worth asking.

Our team is weaker than last season and we need to replace the players that have gone. That's not miserable, that's not pessism, thats not over the top, thats not wrong - its the bloody obvious.

[Ardiles]

I agree. Let's not beat around the bush - we've lost our top goalscorer and arguably our best defender (after Amankwaah imo).

Add to that the fact we won't have Ward who was one of our best attacking assets and I'd say there is reason for concern as we're losing siginificantly more than we're bringing in... so far.

OK we've brought in Prutton but I'd say we need another CB (if only as back up to Cuthbert and Morrison) and a proven striker.

No need to panic but we need to bring in some quality as expecting all we've lost to be replaced by existing players improving would be too big a gamble and I'm sure Danny isn't planning on relying on such a gamble.

It's July 12th FFS!  When have we ever had anything like a starting line up for the new season at this stage?  There are a few on here who would be useless in a crisis.  Quick!!  Where's the Panic Button!?

[Spy]

Yes there is plenty of time to bring in more players.

However most of us never thought we'd sell Greer and for whatever reason we have and we don't feel great about that which imo is understandable.

Yes I did read your posts.  I even responded to some of them.  What I am saying is that we can always look back and say "what if" - but nothing in life is perfect, and I would say last season was, on the whole, fucking brilliant.  This time last season a lot of last season's stars were both unknown and not at the club.  You seem to forget this and assume that as two player's haven't had direct replacements signed immediately, it must be time to panic.  Be patient.

I think I've been slightly mis understood or not put my point across too well.

I've said in other threads on this subject there is plenty of time to bring in replacements, however first of sometimes it will take a while to find a replacement (Cox - Austin) so I'd rather we started sooner rather than later (I'd hope we already have)

Secondly, from the noises coming out the club it sounds like we are planning to replace the likes of Paynter and Gr££r from within the current squad.

Personally I don't think the players in question LJF/Morrison/Pericard are as good as those we are trying to replace.

I'm not saying we have to panic and get someone in right away, what I am saying is we will need to get someone in and again, just in my opinion a new CB with Gr££r like on pitch qualities is now top priority.
