Not happy about the news on the Goalkeeper kits. I wanted one of those.
Welcome back for the season too.
And yeah our squad is pretty young. We do need a bit more experience.

We signed them. If the squad is too young then totally down to us so I really don’t want that excuse rolled out endlessly. If they are good enough it will be fine.

I get why you wouldn't do a new run of kits when you've run out halfway through the season, but right at the start of it? And for one that's so clearly in high demand? Do the club not want money? |

Do the club not want money? That’s what I thought! That got me thinking about how low our budget must be I sense a round of belt tightening. Which is fair enough and to be expected. The owners have dug deep for a number of years and that is unsustainable I would have thought. Enormous money pumped in to get us this far. Generous. The real question is how we move forward. |

I agree i think the board have looked at the league this season and decided or concluded that we cannot compete with the top ten clubs at the moment and hopefully with the ok from RW have gone with youngsters in the hope that they'll be good enough and can develop into the real deal by next season.I like the players that we have and believe that once the season settles down we'll play some great football this season.I also think that the owners are looking for someone else with the right money who can take the club to another level.Its just a feeling I have that's all

Being a bit cynical I would suspect that without a competitive budget we start to stagnate rather than move forward , in the short term at least.😕 |

You think they're making a loss on kit sales? They sold out almost immediately on this specific kit. Another run, financed by the sales from the previous one, seems like a great opportunity to double profits from it. |

The problem with assembling a team for tomorrow is that you never have one good enough for today.

A few wins and all the current team will be old enough

The one flaw being those whose contracts end in June that we need to extend but possibly won’t. |

You can always spend your hard earned cash on the new smart, casual and stylish Wyvern 1/4 zip polo shirt the club are promoting.😀👍 |
