Well done Gareth and Dobbo........ 10:11 - Sep 23 with 8457 views | Blue_Castello | Well the main reason for posting is that when we get a good result there are hardly any posts but if we lose it's totally the opposite, so congratulations to the Manager and the whole squad for a great team away performance, it should not be underestimated how important these results are for rebuilding team morale. If we conveniently forget the Watford game which is best for all concerned then the team performance has become progressively better, it's like night and day comparing to last season. That was a result built by Ainsworth getting the right players on board for crucial positions in the team, having a very good understanding of team building and the components required, building a work ethic into the whole squad and then ensuring that a minimum level of commitment is always displayed. It just feels some people forget what a shi**y job Ainsworth inherited because of varying factors which are well documented, mostly the totally demotivated individuals in the squad which had been built by Beale and Ferdinand. Last night we took on a Birmingham team who had significant investment over the last 12 months, mainly funded by the Bellinghams (plural) transfers that presumably keeps them within FFP limits, they have a strong squad this year which could well challenge at the top. They beat us to the signing of Lisa Stansfield presumably because they paid a sign on fee and are paying all or most of his wages whereas we were limited to only Free agent signings to keep within FFP. The Free agent signings have all hit the ground running and lifted the squad to a minimum level that is required to compete in the Championship. Now this is not just supposed to be all Happy Clappy but Ainsworth deserves some credit after reading plenty of negatives last week. [Post edited 23 Sep 2023 11:40]

Well done Gareth and Dobbo........ on 13:46 - Sep 24 with 741 views | HAYESBOY | They have found a system that works with the players we have. A sort of hybrid 3 at the back turning into 4 depending on if we have the ball or not. Smyth and Paal have licence to get forward so that when say Paal gets forward, Fox comes across and we have a 3 of Kakay, Cook and Fox. Same with Smyth on the other side. We just need to be more clinical and make better decisions in the final third. | ![](/images/avatars/1477.gif) |
