Replying to your post Brucie minus the insults.
Friendly Gas - if you have got such a great side and great squad then basically you should be ashamed of yourself as you are not top of the league then.
Where have I said we have a "great" side and squad?" All I was basically saying was that i would expect us to do better than Exeter based on the squad they have.
Saying you would do well in league 2 is nonsensical when your no better than the likes of Macclesfield (when your gates are six times bigger than they are)
I agree that based on the League we are no better than Macclesfield and they could also possibly do reasonably well in League 2 now and that is the question I was answering. Our gates are also bigger than most of League 1 FACT but i would not expect us to do very much in that League and not be good enough to even get promoted from League 2. What I can say is that our squad is definitely a lot stronger than it was last year, whether the 11 on the pitch are stronger I am not sure but this team we have now will give everything unlike some of the "Big time Charlies" we had last season. Last seasons team had a lot more quality but at the end of the day what is quality if the players attitudes mean they rarely reach their ability?
I actually hate Bristol Rovers and their big time big club mentality
. - I only hate Bristol City but please tell me what is the difference between your comment about Dover??? I have to admit that some supporters do have that but that is what happens when your history has been mainly in a higher division BUT we are where we are for a reason.
You haven't got a great squad - you have players like Mansell
- I can only comment on that by saying that Mansell has been very good for us this season and has done much better than players which some of you rated ie Zebrowski, Stanley come to mind. Perhaps he had become stale with yourselves which is not an insult to you but this does happen. Some players need a fresh challenge and from what I have seen it is possible that Nicholson was the same as he too had a very good game against us. I will only ever comment on how a player plays for us and they start with a clean sheet when they play for us.
Dover are a part time club managed by a bloke whose full time job is a PE teacher so if you cannot beat them you should start with your own club first
. - Well you didn't beat them last week either but the Part time and who they are Managed by is irrelevant. i think your very comment is that you consider yourselves to be a bigger club than Dover? Perhaps a big club mentality?
I saw Barnet Arsewipe Dover earlier in the season - no doubt thats why they are top of the league and both Torquay and Yourselves are nowhere near them.
- we ,the same as you beat Barnet recently and Leagues are not won in November. For the first half we actually ran Barnet completely off the park. Our biggest problem is that we don't take enough of the chances we create.
Trust me you do not have a great squad - you are in denial as usual.
- Not at all,yet again I did NOT say we had a GREAT squad. What i said was that we had a very strong squad in which terms I mean't that how many teams in this League could have 4 experienced players not even in the First team squad?
So far this season you have failed to beat (or indeed lost to) ahem...Altrincham (lost) FG (drew) Braintree (lost) Eastleigh (drew) Dover (drew) Aldershot (drew) FG again (lost) ALfreton (drew) Kidderminster (drew) Chester (drew) Add to that you have had 1-0 wins against ahem the mighty Telford,Southport,Dartford,Telford (again)
- i cannot argue that because it is FACT however think of it what you want but I respect the teams who we have played in this League and some of those teams played very well against us. I could just as easily look at league 2 results last season and say the same thing. I only comment on things as I see them and having seen every game home and away both last season and this season I can definitely say7 that I am enjoying the way we are playing since the first three games far more than last season.
Call me old fashioned but if you think that this set of results makes you some loss to league 2 then you are a total idiot.-
I would prefer to call you old fashioned rather than an idiot but at least I have not lowered myself to crucifying my own players from the luxury of an armchair and a radio!! There again only an idiot would do that!!
