And we answered - Yes.
And we explained why. But you don't seem to want to listen. Let me ask you something (again) - do you really think it's difficult to see how things can go well? (Which is what Reg asserted).
No, you answered yes. Paul actually said no Reg wasn't wrong it was his gloating he didn't like. Anyway you are right i will sleep on it

tbf, I actually meant he wasn't wrong about things getting harder for Wellens in his first sentence Things have just got a whole lot harder for Welllens, I feel sorry for the fella, has done a remarkable job with slim resources, but by so doing has pushed up the expectations of those who struggle with reality.
I'm minded to agree with FH and all the other contributors over the last few pages that the "very difficult" bit is a bit daft.

Think everyone could do with going out for a walk, having a pint or whatever else relaxes you.
We have over a week to come back stronger....

I must have missed what he asserted then
The bit about it being very difficult to see this ending well. I get the pessimism- it’s not good news. But we’re top of the league, with a management structure who’ve largely hit in the transfer market and an owner who, for all his faults, *has* acted in transfer windows when needed. I tend to think a lot of the reaction to reg’s posts is over the top - and I would generally agree that recent years would breed a less rosy outlook. But to say it’s very difficult to see this ending well seems needlessly, dramatically pessimistic

Fuck me!!!
So because a player has been recalled and there are still 9/10 transfer window days left to do some business, our season is basically over? Fuck off you bunch of melts.
There wasn't even this much 'crying into momma's tits' when Doyle was recalled!
Truth is, we (or nearly all of us) know nothing about any transfer comings and what the state of play will be come Feb 1st. We can bring up scenario after scenario and none of those may happen. However, I'm pretty calm and comments of 'very hard to see it ending in a good way...' is giving me the biggest laugh since Billy T James did his Somewhere Over the Rainbow sketch.
What we do know is this;
We are top of the League. We could make Elliott Benyon look like Suarez. We still create chance after chance. Against Crewe (you know the game before Newport), we scored from Defence, Midfield and Attack.
At least wait 'til Feb 1st before throwing your wank rags in the air and surrendering. Until then, you may well be needing them. Cum sic, when the transfer window shuts to an orgasmic crescendo of relieved Town fans.
In the words of @marleystfc "Up. The. Fucking. Top. Of. The. League. Come. On. You. Fucking. Reds."

Can someone do a League Table for 1st Feb if everything goes wrong please? We lose everything by healthy margins and everyone else gets the best they can (some play each other, so many variables are needed to be tested).
I can then judge how we might finish the season if we don't bother to sign anyone - although we did, so fuck, maybe we do a middle of the road scenario where we snatch a draw or something?
Anyone?
