There is absolutely no way any individual or company can dress this up. The utterly shameless way that the ticket firms did this to those waiting in the Oasis queue would be laughable, if it wasn't becoming the norm. Inflation as a disguise for excessive price rises, skimflation, shrinkflation, dynamic pricing, packaging that exaggerates the size of goods, etc. are all dubious and soulless measures undertaken by companies grovelling to increase shareholder returns. These approaches may be legal, but certainly not moral. |

I am not worried, yet. He finds some decent positions and is starting to get some decent service. Hopefully the penalty will give him a confidence 'tracer' and a few more will start hitting the back of the net. As others have said, new country, new language, new team mates, new manager, new system and a new league. He's human and needs time to adjust. |

Noticably back to something like his best. Pleased for him. |

I am sad to hear that. Truly 'one of our own' and was never found wanting for effort. I hope he can find something soon. |

I am a psychologist, and this is a good take on the current state of play. Hope your health is in a better place now HM. |

Mixed feelings about this. The goals he scored in Scotland I recall to be more like the one he got against the Blades - running into the box for cutbacks. We never really seemed to set up to play to this strength. But, he otherwise seemed a bit limited in how he could adapt. I did sometimes wonder how he would do if Illy and Willock were more prone to passing quickly. They often seemed to ignore him. However, that is all moot. Good luck to him in the Midlands. The club could have told us more about his engagement with fans and the community - I had no idea he had that positive side to him. |

My lads and I got season tickets in the School End this year. I thought the deal was too good to pass up. There were a few people trying to raise songs/chants, but we need a some more bodies in there! As others have said, once we are past the holiday season and get back to proper kick-off times, that might happen. |

Excellent report! Many thanks. We really are blessed with two great report writers on this site. The quality is way beyond anything I can read anywhere else. Can only hope that the confidence of the team was not blown away by the gulf in performance between us and Hull. If they felt it like Alex saw it, there could be a lot of damage done... |

So, I started this thread before the season had begun and we had some good discussion. What are you felling now and how accurate were your pre-season thoughts and comments? |

It is such a limited squad that it is hard to know exactly who or what is to blame for a performance like that. However, I think we could all see that playing risky balls around the back four before our keeper had to kick it long to an isolated Armstrong was never going to work. There seemed to be very little pattern of play to our attacking, and we didn't change things up enough even when personnel were swapped. Wednesday could see that Chair was the only threatening option, so double-marked him. He responded by trying to work miracles and other than the Anderson chance, we produced nothing. Wednesday were there for the taking, but we went about it without enough guile. |

I was thinking the very same thing yesterday. The support has been tremendous and far from the 'fair weather' positivity that many clubs are limited to. I have been pleasantly amazed at how we have got behind the team this season. When I hear the manager and players thanking the fans in the post-match interviews, you can tell they mean it. Really proud to be an R at the moment! |

When I was a kid I wanted to be Dave Thomas. I played on the wing and rolled my socks down to be just like him. Got really annoyed when teachers started telling me I had to roll them back up to keep my shin pads in place! On the old qprnet.com I had the username Dave Thomas's socks. My son laughs at me because I often complain about wingers cutting inside so often, but I just yearn for the days of our Dave blasting past full backs and opening up great swathes of the pitch for Stan, Gerry, Don Givens, et al to do their stuff. I remember being on a caravan holiday in Pagham when I read in the paper that we had sold him. Can remember my heart sinking to the floor. Was great to see him back on the LR pitch again. So many great memories of that era... [Post edited 9 Mar 11:59]

Absolute revelation. I was sad to see his loss of confidence and form, but was optimistic he would eventually rediscover his centre back mojo. However, he now looks like a completely different player. He's a big lad and I imagine takes some stopping once he gets in his stride. Delighted for the lad. |

What I like about this guy is that his assists are so deliberate. It's not hit and hope, it's look for the right player and execute the pass effectively. Vision and skill, rather than whack it in the right broad direction. Excellent. |

I like the idea of broad consultation with active stakeholders before defining a vision. The idea of a heroic leader with a startling vision developed in isolation is largely a myth. He is doing the right thing in taking time to understand the 'customer base' and it's concerns and aspirations. If he is worth his salt, he will be able to distinguish between useful insight, chronic embitterment, and distracting minutiae. |

Definitely for the ref. He'd made a few odd decisions in the run-up to half time and it was directed at him imho. |

Let's give the guy a chance. He is still, in essence, completing his pre-season training and getting to match fitness. |
