I hope this means a return to the free flowing attacking football from the start of the season!
It might just bring the fans back.

Yup, mine too. I really thought Jim would be going for it for the rest of the season.

As always he gives too much respect to other teams....even the worst one in the entire football league!! Ah well so much for keeping the fans happy and going for it. Will a 1.000 home fans turn up on saturday?

WE'VE SCORED 62 BLOODY GOALS THIS SEASON WE NEED TO BE TIGHTER AT THE BACK FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, CONCEDING NIL WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY MEAN THAT WE CHUFFING WIN.

Yes, but we're sh!t at defending and win more games by attacking. Are you Jim or Ken in disguise, as I thought only those two were so effin' blind to the truth.

OK, a few minutes on, and I've had a think. I assume from your chosen name, Supermarket Shrimp, that your job prevents you from attending, or even listening to, many games. This means, I assume (again), that you're making your comments based on the stats, i.e. goals for/against. Yes, we have scored lots of goals, but only when we've set up to attack the opposition. Months ago Jim, like you, decided we were shipping too many goals and decided to keep it tight at the back. The difference was marked only in the goals scored column - we stopped scoring but continued to ship them in, as our defence is simply not up to the task. It is therefore paramount that we go out to attack, as that is how we are going to win games. Also the negative defensive tactics are having a significant effect on attendances, which is further driving down Jim's budget. I am sick and tired of saying this, as Jim takes no notice whatsoever, but he is the architect of his own budgetary problem! Yes, there are other factors, but driving away fans by persistent negative play is going to drive down the budget. We need to attack from minute one. Yes, we will concede goals, but we have the goalscoring ability to score more, win more, perform better overall in the league, and win back fans. It's a win:win:win:win situation. Come on Jim. please take notice.
