Buy big or we stay where we are...!!

After witnessing last night redmond can never play again, we literally had no midfield and spent all game hoofing it to the front 2 it was painful to watch . Mullin and Hyde need service they are not getting it

Did Sutton spend £1m on transfer fees?

Great that we're in the game (FIFA 22), we have our own home and away gin, documentary, electronic advertising boards and much more...

But we need:-

A proper midfield (sign one or both of Huws, Butterfield and get them match fit)
PP to grow a pair and drop the erratic Luke Young and give Tozer the armband
Sign a new target man for the bench (nothing up top once again when Hyde went off)

What do you think we've been doing all summer? We've probably shelled out more on transfer fees than any club outside the Championship.

Rome wasn't built in a day. Getting out of this league will be the hardest part in many respects, but you can't accuse us of not spending big so far.

I reckon if you give Tozer a pay rise that should sort you out. Just need to incentivise the players you have already wasted money on.

I think people need a little bit of patience. We weren't ever going to walk the league and the new players need time to settle and grow together.

We've already spent big and it is coming together. I'd rather PP see those who aren't up to it in these early games before we get to the hard slog of Christmas and beyond.

Agreed, difficult start. 1 loss in 6 games, 4 away isn't a disaster. We get a good run of games after Chesterfield, get some wins and things can change quickly.

We were never walking this league, Salford only got play offs when they were splashing the cash. I expect we'll be similar.

Exactly. No need to panic and let’s not forget every team is raising their game when they play us. Southend for example...

This is exactly the point in time where supporters need to hold their nerve.

Fear not, if Grimsby continues to pull away from you in the table, just buy it.

Unrealistic expectations preceeding reality kicking in for many... This season the league is competitive as I've ever seen it, with a number of fantastic clubs who will all be challenging. Last night I was hugely dissapointed but the league wasn't won or lost based on last night's result. We definitely do need to strengthen in midfield and make some tough calls about who plays and who doesn't. It's a bit odd that we couldn't bring someone in during transfer window too...

I'd really love our fans to stop being so negative...all well and good claiming having big attendances makes us a top club (it doesn't) but having a big fanbase who constantly complain is counterproductive.
