    What happens on this site are certain usual suspects are all over Iron bru when things are looking dire. Come the good or more optimistic times they disappear. They don’t post ‘excited’ thoughts,but words of caution and pessimism. Two different extremes as you say- I lean more towards the optimistic angle. Everyone to their own,Deeryme66.

    Everyone to their own indeed Bpg – including the right to be a realist, not a fantasist or hero worshipper, without being hassled and abused…or, ahem, preached at. As I’ve said previously, the people moaning about the so called moaners are not being forced to stay!

    Surely, for the first two games he will lean heavily on Nelson.
    (Well. I think it’s around 16 midfielders he has to choose from.)

    Our best chance of a positive result could be the element of surprise. We must presume Barnet have had us watched, if we start with 4 or 5 new signings in a 4-4-2 (for example) they might be confused for half an hour.

    Which is fine, but there comes a time when such optimism is misplaced and can cause glib dismissals of genuine concerns. I get that some people lean towards the negative too soon, as was seen last week with some (and I by no means everyone who aired anything not totally positive) disparaging Hilton and Dean. However, some turned a blind eye to Swann for too long, after it was obvious he was no longer interested and harming the club, going so far as to blame fans for the tough times. Others made unfounded accusations that any criticism of Swann must have been because of jealousy and hatred for his wealth.

    Trying to find a measured and balanced standpoint can be hard for everyone, and we can all lean one way harder than the other, without consideration of what might contradict our impulsive thoughts. I am no less prone to this than others, I am sure. However, it’s not just the overly negative critics who present this bias, as was shown with the Swann mess and some sticking their heads in the sand for too long.

    What are you doing but preaching your view to me! You couldn’t make it up.

    I think he’s explaining his view bill but I’m not surprised you can’t tell the difference.

    I bought into the whole Swann attempt to get us up to the championship. But learnt my lesson when he got rid of all our best players and transferred ownership of our ground and all surrounding land to his own horse racing company.

    However, the tax man has been payed, we have a new chairman, new management team, and some new players. The keeping of Nelson as head coach promises some stability.

    So come on Iron, get out there with smiles on your faces, and get some wins under your belts.

    Poor so far

    The better football of the past couple of weeks is gone, Wilson can’t get into the game and we lack creativity.

    If the line up and play stays the same in the 2nd half then we are looking at something from a set piece/long ball or a mistake for us to get a goal back

    I’ve enjoyed the last couple of performances but tonight isn’t good at all (so far)

    The Bees will sting us Friday night, taking all 3 points back to The Hive.

    SUFC 0-2 Barnet

    Smashed Chezzy 3-0 yesterday.
    A Nicke Kabamba hat trick.
    He’s 6ft 3” btw
    They look to be a BIG team.
    He’s third top scorer in the league with 14 goals.
    Pritchard has 8 goals.
    Only 1 defeat in last 12 games.

    Barnet v Chezzy:
