Do you like the new statue?

Had a feeling you might come back and say you had a hand in the statue.🤣
Honestly looks very good and that and the plinth are excellent.

The rest sums up these cheapskate chancers. Where the imitation ball reaches the sand it’s already cracking and sinking in the sand.

Too early to say safe but there's fight in the team so hope, great win.

Play until the ref says that's it over 👍

Without doubt Mate.
After that shambles going down 4-0 at halftime against Colchester ironically we are looking a workmanlike team. Subs are coming on and making a difference.
Honestly I thought we were done but feeling a little better now. No way out of it but the difference can be seen.
 
Appears to be playing a blinder,by simple psychology.
Takes pressure away from the players by suggesting the training ground is haunted.
Then he shows support for the players,with the possibly staged,but certainly well- timed ' having a go at the fans' and asked them for full vocal encouragement as the players are ' trying and improving.'

Heard nothing more about the haunting - but it did generate press and media coverage.

"Somebody" has coached some belief & resilience into the side, a way to score a goal & defend it as a team has been worked out. It's about keeping that going now until safety is guaranteed.

How long has that "somebody" got on his contract?

Definitely Holloway has them all working as a squad.
Contract only to the end of the season. Difficult place as January window now, still have these owners and need to get out of the mess.
Can see it being extended and he would take it.

He's a decent experienced manager who knows what he wants & needs for a team that can get results if the owners/budget controllers back him. Hope for your sake they give him a couple of years so he can build some lasting strength in the squad because some players sign for managers so will be looking for assurance he'll be there before joining.

He's got you a foot on the escape ladder when others are faltering.
