Mr. Chow Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Completely agree, still nothing to get excited about tbh. Zero improvement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birley Owl 1867 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It's not about being overly negative or overly positive. For once, positive news has come out of the club. That can only be a good thing. We all know and agree that this doesn't mean that everything at the club now is all good happy and rosey. But it's a start. It just has to continue. Also, who's to say those U23s won't be key parts of the team that does earn promotion? I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it on that front (or say its nailed on either).

Kew Owl Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 We don’t know yet whether these youngsters will cut the mustard and make the grade at first team level - so it’s only “potentially” good news IMHO - we’ll have to wait and see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marro Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 It’s been so refreshing the young uns signing up and the new kit. Most of us are under no illusion as to the task facing us to turn this Club around. It is monumental. I’m one of the most negative on Owlstalk because I care. Like most I’d love to be in the position where the football is enjoyable again and we are ‘arguing’ / ‘debating’ as to our best team. I’d love it to be all about the football. Still it’s been a good few days - crack open a beer, glass of wine or a J20 or whatever and let’s enjoy the weekend! UTO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of those including a few others didnt cut the mustard at Hillsborough. So I would say signing the youngsters up is more positive than signing the likes of those shower of shiite we had who relegated us, and a lot cheaper and hungrier. Nope Whilst it may turn out to be correct that doesn’t mean Kivo should have been burnt at the stake for saying those signings last summer weren’t going to be good enough . He gave reasons, explanation, insights into why the players we were signing would make us worse He was right We got relegated Im right with my post too - these youngsters u23’s signing for one more year will not get us promoted Saying that isn’t anti-swfc or negative in any way - it’s just fact Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
