The Well Society should consider providing oxycodone before every match.

Not many. But the wage bill is a lot lower so I would expect that. An unfortunate consequence of living within our means.

Unusually, I actually agree with Steelboy here. Forget absolute or relative decline, you can even forget where we are finishing in the league. Look at it this way, how many of our current squad would get a game in McGhee's team (first time round) or McCalls best team? Honestly, I think the answer is none of our players sadly, and I am generally one of the "happy clappers" around here.

And yet we've stayed in the league, and last year got to 2 Cup Finals and finished 7th. My thoughts on the brand of football are well documented on here, as well as my thoughts on the "need to earn the right to play" nonsense. And it would be churlish to not recognize that by playing guys like Bigi and Turnbull that situation has brought some improvement. There has, however, been huge changes off and on the field in the past 2 or 3 seasons to contend with. From JB selling, to the Well Society to the changes that Les implemented to the overhaul required to meet Project Brave criteria to ground improvements. The fact we have made it through that, stayed in the league and turned a profit is pretty impressive for any business. I think where we agree is that now we have been through that transition, we need to improve the product on the park. I don't have any expectation that it will lead to massive improvements in league position, but I'd rather we finished 6th or 7th playing more attractive football than 6th or 7th just "earning the right to play".

Aye, since August
