If JBA turns us into a stable, top-six possession side by the end of the season, he’ll inevitably be poached. That doesn’t mean game over though. It means we’ve built that identity, and the job is simply to bring in another manager to continue it. I trust the new Chairman to do exactly that. The trajectory is now set regardless of who’s in charge. The aim obviously isn’t winning the league every year. It’s stability, entertaining football, European qualification, and a decent cup run or two.

Sounds like a great day, must have been awkward when he said the team has looked stronger since Slatts has been injured!!.......Lol....just kiddin 😜😜

Just once would be enough!

Robinsons had a go in England and failed. SPL is his level. He doesnt play attractive football, isnt a fashionable cultured foreign import & hasnt held positions at big European clubs. Hows that?

I’m just waiting for Anti-wells next interview where he claims that our success is built on him laying the foundations, building the team, creating the perfect conditions for how our style of football is what he was moving towards, how Wimmer & Askou have only used his ideas and that if he hadn’t been forced out by us ungrateful gits we’d have won the first five games and been top of the league, stick on for the title and would have qualified for the champions league group stages next season.

BBC now giving Saturday's attendance as being 7,195. Whatever the precise number, the trend is certainly very encouraging. If attendances are higher there's also more spend in the shop, catering kiosks and on the HT draw.

I would imagine, if sustained, the first significant upturn in attendances in 20 years will also reinforce that fans want entertained. The die hards like myself will turn up every week no mater the shite on show but fans who pick n choose need more than blind loyalty to part with £25 every second week.

This is exactly it. The Well Society & New Board deserve a lot of credit getting us to where we are so quickly. We now have an identity as a club and as a team. We are financially secure for the short to medium term. The fanbase is fully engaged. The trick now is to maintain that and use it as a platform for continuous improvement. Mistakes will be made along the way, but as long as we get more right than we get wrong then there is no reason to believe that we arent entering a period of (relative) success.

It would certainly raise legitimate questions about why he isn’t able to feature for us (in what would be three games in a row if he isn’t involved on Sunday) yet can be picked for his National side. For now though we can assume that he is now back fit and will be in the squad for the game v. Celtic. On a side note I fucking detest international football and these breaks during a season are an absolute nuisance.
