Not far off?

Now I'm not saying that I believe we could make a late dash but I don't think that we have a massive amount of problems, it's just that 1 or 2 important aspects of our game isn't up to scratch.

Just look at the amount of clean sheets we have kept  (5 from 16) which for a side in the bottom 3 is not bad.. It's more than 9 other sides in the league and level with the amount of teams like burnley, wolves and Sheffield Wednesday.

Obviously the striker situation is killing us right now but I have full faith that Lennon will eventually bring in someone who knows how to hit the target, we desperately need to sort out the wings too, we are so narrow. 

I'm hoping that we can conclude a deal for La Parra from wolves, the sooner feeney is out of the team the better. Add to that the return of Zach Clough we will start to look a lot more potent going forward. 

Relegation should not be a worry with so many games to go. Keep the faith

About the same as spending millions.

You poor naïve bellend.

Yes, let's throw another £10m into the black hole that is our finances .

Spending millions guarantees nothing, just ask Megson and Coyle.

Can we do an experiment where we put your brain in a hazelnut shell and see if it rattles?

A drop into League 1 won't hurt us that much, in fact it might be the making of us. Wolves, Sheff Weds and Leeds all came back stronger.

I'm sure some people said that about us getting relegated to where we are now.

"We can't afford to be in the Premiership..."

"At least if we get relegated we can rebuild and we might actually see us win every once in a while..."

...and loads more nonsense.

It's not always as fun as it was for Wolves the year before last. It took Wednesday and Leeds a while to get back up. Even Forest didn't come straight back. Except at this rate I think a more appropriate comparison is Coventry who had to play their home matches 30-40 miles away one season because they couldn't afford their own stadium.

It's the fun of supporting BWFC. You have to endure the bad times to appreciate the good.

Chorley won 3-1 at Stockport today in front of 3,500 fans. They are the future.
