I would say more realistic than miserable, not everyone looks through rose tinted glasses.
We were told we would reduce the squad size and bring in one, maybe two, players in that would improve the squad. That is exactly what has happened. I think the vast majority wanted us to bring in an attacking midfielder. It appears we have, but as nobody has actually seen him play we will have to wait and see. He apparently can cover several areas across the forward areas so can cover injuries. I am happy to wait and see. Does that mean it is me looking through rose tinted glasses?
I quite agree however if you are going to quote what we have been told then you need to include what was said last week and that was no loans and any additions would add quality to the squad.
Now I sincerely hope the two new lads hit the ground running and help us get promotion however nobody knows what will happen because they have hardly played or been injured.
It hardly screams quality, more a case of fingers crossed they work out
One of our best ever wingers joined from Middlesbrough many years ago.
Jimmy Floyd was technically a striker but his arse was so big when he joined us he kind of played all 3 positions across the front line.
When Jimmy FH scored against Chelsea at the valley, ok you don't have to celebrate but he looked like he was about to cry. Darren Bent assist down the Jimmy Seed end from memory.

It screams cheap.
I hope you’re pleasantly surprised.
Did we not pay a loan fee for him? With that alongside what NJ has said about reluctance to use loans unless they add quality, I’d like to think there’s some confidence he’s going to do the business for us.
Not every loan will work out but I’ve got a good feeling about this one.

It was at Stamford Bridge
And he also apologised to The Matthew Harding stand.
Get the lad on the Doc Docherty meat pie and Guinness diet asap.
no, lets keep him lean and nimble - let him float around that final third like a butterfly, stinging likea bee - docherty's top heavy and only runs in straight lines

Think soapbox might be thinking of JFH's goal against Middlesbrough which was down the Jimmy Seed end.

Nope, Middlesbrough is not spelt Chelsea.
It was a while ago mate....jeeez! They were another former club of his obviously...

When her scored at Stamford Bridge he looked mortified. Which was very annoying, as I was sitting with my Chelsea mates.

That must have been a frosty atmosphere! Maybe that's why Diawara was wearing gloves that afternoon?!

Improve the squad, you do not know that though, none of us do. Untried from the smokies, the other one has had a mixed response from Portsmouth supporters.
I did not say he improves the squad, I was merely repeating what we were told, and I think we both agree that we will have to wait and see. My reply was to the suggestion that I was seeing things this transfer through rose tinted glasses as I was not miserable about it. If someone has seen him play a few times and thinks he’s cack fine. I just don’t get being negative until we are able to judge properly.

I would say that the main problem is that we have not gone out and brought in established players of better quality.
By not doing this, the players coming in bring disappointment.
Granted, once they start kicking a ball perhaps we'll get a better judgement.

If he can kick a ball he's immediately an upgrade on Allan Campbell.

I’m not disagreeing with you mate but also if you look at the last few years pretty much all of the established players haven’t set the world alight whereas a few of the unknowns have been decent so I’m not sure it’s wise to write off the latest two
Spoke to a Middlesbrough fan today (who weirdly was woking for the Chelsea FC Foundation). Asked him what he thought of Gilbert and he said he really rated him and hoped he comes back to them at the end of his loan. He said he had a great range of passing and could beat a man driving forward. I think he might be a good 'un. I'm looking forward to watching him on Saturday

I've seen more fat on a cold chip.

But that didn't turn out bad, did it?
