Great stuff. Anyone know how they did in the second half?
So you think the budget is the same/more than last season, but KR choose to pay less?
The players they signed were quality individuals. They won't need to play as a team. They have enough firepower that of they concede three they can score 6. We lack any firepower therefore we need to be a unit and stop goals. Stop comparing us to teams who are spending 650k on a striker and who knows how much else on the rest of the squad.we need to wait for players to gel??...Peterborough players didn't need time!....how many new signings?
I really don't get why he is getting stick for bringing in a goalkeeper. Steven's is still very much a young pup and needs to go out on loan to develop. He doesn't need the pressure of having to perform in front of his own fans just yet.
Shearer is at the club as number 2. That's his role in the club. He isn't able to play week in week out but if called upon like he was Saturday then he can do a job for us. His role at the OUFC is no different to Chelsea having Rob Green as number 3 at the club or Richard Wright at Man City for years. It's more about what they offer to the squad off the pitch than it does on it. Also he is on a fairly small wage at the club.
I watched it last night and thought it was brilliant. I felt sorry for the guy, you could tell he cared but was trying to hold the whole club together as it descended into chaos. As with the famous Graham Taylor doc it was pretty much professional suicide for him (although Taylor managed to recover from it) and once again the second in command ( this time Chris Turner) came across as a bit of a tit. Interesting to see Darren Purse sat in the toxic dressing room at one point and was the Mark Warren that Sitton squared up to in that famous outburst the same one who played for us for a while..?They lost, unsurprisingly.
If you can find the full documentary unbleeped ("Club for a fiver" I think it was called) then it's well worth a watch.
His second rant is legendary as well. "If you wanna fight you can team up if you like, and you can bring your f*cking dinners. So you, you little c*nt when I tell you to do something you do it, and you, you big f*cking c**t when I tell you to do something you do it."
Absolutely top!

I wouldn’t call ‘doing a job’ giving away a penalty in his one game, being unfit and then having to bevreplCed. If you’re no 2 is not capable of deputising for more than one game then it’s a farce. He shouldn’t have been given another deal.
It’s cost us an outfield player which we appear to be in need of
No it hasn't, Eastwood's injury has cost us an outfield player.
