Funny how showing concern for the season is seen as panicking. No it is not.Don't Portsmouth, Ipswich, Sunderland, Coventry, Blackpool, Peterborough all think they have a really good chance of a top 6 slot? And personally, I won't disagree with them, so where does that leave us? OddsChecker shows us about 12th in the table, and that's an outsider unbiased view.I'll say it again, don't expect to be in the top 6 and there is nothing to worry about. The time Darren takes to make any decision I'm surprised he doesn't spend all day deciding which sock to put on first.
So just because we do have a club, anything should do? We should be honoured to even be in the National Conference as long as we have a club.Forget ambition that is being selfish and we should just be happy to have a club?

And then the debate will start as to if the player is as good as promised. We'll see at Christmas if we are above Portsmouth, Ipswich, Sunderland, Coventry and Peterborough. And if ever you want an example of someone deciding to make up what another post has meant...
Since we lost JM on 31 July we have waited and waited and waited and still no news. And told we are impatient to not wait longer and longer until we only have ONE working day until the window closes and still no news.
If we end up not signing a striker by the end of the window, will it be acceptable then for people to voice any concern/frustration/irritation? Or will that still be moaning, impatience etc?I’m all for trusting the board and Moore to deliver but if the window does shut and we’ve not signed anyone else I’ll be very disappointed.
When "we" make statements a certain faction of the posters will immediately insist on having evidence. Reversing the logic, where is the evidence that DM has been looking for a 9 and that the board have not just pocketed the cash from the sale of JM? Please provide a list of all the trialists DM has seen. Don't tell me I am not right because I know I am, and I am not paid by the club 24*7 to promote Rovers like some on here clearly are. I swear some people never log off.

Three types of critic on here:1. Panic Merchant - we just need to be doing something as everyone else is signing people, so just sign someone, anyone, quickly!!!!2. Conspiracy Theorist - we have nearly £2m from Marquis and we haven’t replaced him or other players that have left yet, so there must be something wrong and likely Watson/Bramall/Baldwin are up to no good with that cash as he only explanation. PS does anyone know for definite that the fridge light goes off when the door is closed?!3. Troll

High-and-mighty types - consider themselves to be a superior ranking of football supporter, see any criticism of the club as a trait of reactionary inferiors and patrol the forum 24/7 to smugly denounce this at every given opportunity in order to demonstrate this aforementioned superiority. These people would be entirely comfortable with having an entire starting XI of 19 year olds on loan from Wolves, and if Mr Blobby were to be unveiled as the new #9 on Monday, they would be on here saying "give the lad a chance", "trust in DM" etc.
