Now that's not on if they didn't even acknowledge you. I know it's a phrase that's often plagiarised by others but I am getting a bad feeling about that. Seriously, that's outrageous.
Who is really surprised though ? How many of the players have any real allegiance to the club or the fans ? They are mostly journeymen looking to earn as much money as possible from wherever they are plying their trade. For me the only one who seems to really want to be here is our captain. If Boothroyd blanked you he wants a kick up the backside though , isn't he supposed to be the voice of continuity at the moment ? Poor show imo.

In line with my 3 year expectation when AB was appointed.
Year 1 Stay up
Year 2 Continual improvement with a top 10 finish, get rid of the deadwood left over from the GJ reign. The basis of a decent squad.
Year 3 Promotion with a settled squad.
I think that, after the decent finishing position of last season, anything less than a top 7 finish would be deemed as a failure. We had a Top 7 Squad last time, now with AB getting rid of a few more and bringing a few more in, we have to look to be pushing VERY hard for automatic. I've kept the faith with AB throughout, but this coming season is a biggy. He needs to show that he can build his own squad capable of pushing for promotion, not just get rid of dead wood from other regimes and "scrap" for points all the time.

Strange feeling this one for me, for the first time in years I genuinely believe we have a good chance of a top 3 finish.
Arguably the 4 biggest clubs in the League got promoted last year and the ones that have replaced them don't fill me with any dread, likewise the two promoted teams from the Conference.
Fleetwood seem to be the ones throwing the cheque book about but other than them, I can't see any other teams we should be too scared about.
If we have a good summer, and I personally believe we will, then I'll be putting an each way bet on us to win the whole thing.

An each way bet to win the whole thing? Slightly contradictory?

I see your point but a tenner each way will cover 1st to 3rd I believe. Which is where I hope we will finish.

I will have my usual tenner each way that I do for every season, I'm about 6m out of. Pocket by now!

AB doesn't strike me as a manager who wants to be floating around in the bottom tier for long. Hopefully he will take us up and stick with us. Either way, like most clubs we don't keep managers for long. So I hope that we will be top 3, I expect I'll be disappointed.

Platt and screamer are a contradiction in terms

I find even the very possibility of this happening frankly bonkers.
Are you sure?

Don't think anyone is seriously calling for his head yet but chucking away 3 points in games which were there for the taking wont be helping his cause. My expectations for 13/14 are extremely low based on todays effort.
