Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
He was stitched up by Hayes' little pre season ultimatum meaning we only had the absolute bottom of the barrel to pick from signings wise. Had no chance of staying up after that.
But even before that his recruitment didn't half have some "interesting" characters.
Re: Rumour Mill
We are in the promotion hunt and who do you think gives him the opportunities to score. Fred wins the penalty and GMac pops one straight on his head for his second.
Sam Grace has 7 points from a possible 9, that’s to be applauded but he won’t get the job, we need him in the academy where his skills are much better suited.
We are giving ourselves a platform to finish in at least the Playoffs and we now see clear daylight between us and third/fourth.
This is our finest ever season in the EFL. Enjoy it and spread some joy rather than all this negativity.

Re: Match Day Thread: Barnsley
That radio interview with SG someone posted earlier explains EVERYTHING that the naysayers have been moaning about. There is absolute method to the ill-conceived ‘madness’. He really is a credit to this football club, and long may he continue working for us, regardless of who takes over the head coach role.
That high press we were running, especially after they scored in the first half, it was like a swarm of Blues. They had literally nowhere to go at times, and we were taking the ball back time after time. The fitness of our squad is incredible.
Best performance since Boxing Day.
Long live our King.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
There were also a number of saves there keeper made that would have gone in on another day.
The positives, really, was we created those chances when we had struggled to that in previous games. Even against 11 men with a lead making it hard for us to score.
Yes it took a pen and a sending off to help, but bar the first ten mins or so (and a late scare as a result of pushing for a winner) we were on top and SG and the team should get the credit for that.
That said, I wouldn’t be pushing for SG to get the role permanently. But then I didn’t think MB was ready after only 4 months at col u, so what do I know?

Re: “Ooh… Danish Friends!” Value during WWFC Career
I saw a supporter of a Champ club (not Luton, but can't remember who) say they should grab Kone for 300K as part of their January window. They must have been reading that site and thought they would sound informed. 😂
Re: Match Day Thread: Barnsley
@frequentstander good advice to click onto the SG interview - just listened to it. So much intelligence and common sense there, and also a very clear explanation about how they are integrating the new arrivals. Also agree with @Fidget’s assessment of Sam’s assessment!
Re: Match Day Thread: Barnsley
Excellent interview. Good insight on why new signings not playing. Also like the comments on Kone. Hope Dan Rice is listening.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Not for me, I'm sure we'd all of took 7 points out of those 3 games he's been in charge for. However I think there's better options available.
A late winner at Mansfield was just what the players, staff and fans needed. We followed that up with a poor result and poor performance against Northampton and then last night apart from the first 20 minutes we looked good against an average Barnsley side.
It took a penalty, them going down to 10 men and a brilliant goal 5 mins into injury time for us to get the 3 points. As we all know they missed an absolute sitter just before we scored the winner and the mood today would have been so much different.
I think we need stability and getting a manager we believe will continue the great start to the season and also take us to the next level. Sam Grace isn't that person for me, but he's done brilliant and he can go back to the role he has been doing for the club with his head held high.
Re: New Manager Rumour Mill
Trouble is, if he takes/gets it, then things don't turn out as hoped he's gone, not even a job at the club, just like Smillie. Would be a massive shame when he seems very secure with the development side of things. He might not even want it full time ?
Was anyone spotted in the crowd last night ?
