I wonder what happens if Hopkin can't turn it around and they go into Xmas rooted firmly to the bottom of the league? Not convinced that the returning injured are going to make that much of a difference, from what I've seen of them so far.
Will the hirsute, perma New Balance wearer of former Yugoslavian heritage spin the barrel once again and replace Hopkin?
It can't be the players fault, the transfer committee hand picked them to replace and improve upon last year's non believing trouble makers.
Or will Hopkin be the man to lead the club forward into a brave new dawn comprised of even shitter youngsters in League 2?At least they won't feel the added confidence sapping pressure that the larger than average attendances at VP supposedly creates.
They'll be free to fully express themselves in front of the 5,000 Gompers cheering them on. Many of those in attendance will say that it takes them right back to the 70's, before those cheap season ticket glory hunters came along and spoilt their fortnightly self flagellation session.
Where's this 'Stefan's gonna save the season by buying an entire new team in January' rumour come from?
Stinks like something that's come from an Edinbot to me. Don't start rocking the boat by doing daft stuff like protesting. Haven't you heard? Father Ruppmass is coming with his sleigh stuffed full of quality players, but only if you boys have been nice and not done naughty things like shouting nasty words at his friend. This is the shit that parents tell a toddler from about Halloween onwards to try to get them to toe the line for a few months. Followed by the threat that Santa is watching and he'll be coming to take all your toys back after Xmas, if you don't behave yourself. Not that they could scare a single City fan, Gompers incuded, by threatening to get rid of one single player from that living shit show of a squad. It would have to be, behave yourselves or Poleon's returning on loan!
They're treating us like fucking 3 year olds!

I read somewhere 'don't protest it'll spoil any Stephen Darby tribute chants'
Seriously.

I read somewhere 'don't protest it'll spoil any Stephen Darby tribute chants' Seriously. let's be frank the chants for Darbs on Saturday we're terrible. The clapping from the tartan blanket brigade was drowning it out. They won't even sing for a player like Darbs going through what he is doing.

WE DONT EVEN NEED A DEADLINE, WERE GELLING FFS THIS CANOT BE RUSHED Doesn't every fan know that for the team to gel, the manager needs a pre-season with them? Since the next one isn't for another 8 months, we will have to be patient and give them some time.

Is there a single player on the current playing staff who has a "song"? I think that answer to that is no. I thought that I liked Jim O'Brien briefly on his debut but he was dogshit on Saturday. None of our players, except for perhaps that goalkeeper O'Donnel (or O'Conner?) - I don't care enough to work out which one's which - have any redeeming features. Edìn has built a soulless and lifeless shell of a football club. The atmosphere is fucking terrible. I wonder if anyone #believes now? What a fucking cock. He's ruined our club and if this is what we have in store for years to come this will by my last season as a season ticket holder. I wouldn't give that prick a fucking virus let alone £150.

I did do a song for Panzer on the other channel but it's not taken off yet.

Bradford were very unlucky against Sunderland. Im guessing but Sunderland wage budget is probably 20 fold of that of Bradford.
I don't think Bradford city have a great budget despite a large fan base. Hopkin has a very tough job but he is the man to do it.

I saw someone on Twitter yesterday saying we should all give it until February. If we’re going to move the goalposts we might as well go balls out and move them beyond all hope I suppose.

Let's see where we are in May before hitting the panic button eh? Or we could wait and see how we start next season in League Two. I’m sure we’d all swap one season in League One for a title winning one in the division below. All we have to do is get behind the lads ffs.

Relegation would be a good thing - Can clear out the deadwood and start afresh. And with the expected plummeting of season tickets I'd love to watch us in a stadium barely a quarter full - none of those part time fans that actually filled it. And new grounds to visit - forget all those matches in the Championship that have an edge about them, I'd love to tick Newport off my ground list.
Imagine the meltdown if we have a January window as bad as the last one. Especially if we're still around where we are.

Why are you making excuses for a team built by football's greatest ever mind? And Sunderland were shit like really shit we were just worse

I thought it was a 3 year plan? 8 years to be a premier league team. It could have been made up by some dribbley gomping fantasist like Silver but the plan had us in the PL after 8 years. As we now know, this would all happening organically with not a penny outside investment. How fucking insulting is that to ML and JR?!

You could argue that we were lucky to get the penalty and for them to be down to ten men....these things are missed by referees on a regular basis.
