What a surprise...

[matth]

Well, we're playing tomorrow, and this midfielder - or these three midfielders - hasn't, or haven't materialised. I'd love to say that's a shock, but really it isn't.

Now, I'm fully aware that Robson may have been working his socks off trying to get someone in, but my point is that what he's intimated out loud has now backfired - again - and I for one am getting sick of him saying he's looking at bringing in this player and that.

I'm pleased we've got Bardsley in, and appreciation that Robbo has finally made use of his contact book has got to be shown, but on the other hand, I'm disappointed yet again that he's got our hopes up about bringing someone in for the middle of the park and dashed them to pieces. It's getting to be a habit.

I'd much prefer him to play his cards close to his chest, and not mention that we're in the running for x and y only to look like at best a fool and at worst a liar when they don't come off. Give us a pleasant surprise once in a while, please, and stop getting our hopes up that one day soon we're going to be able to put out a team of 11 good players.

You may be frustrated....we all are but....

Has he ever said it was definate that he would sign anyone?

He's often hoped that we may get someone and stated as such.

If people see that as a definate is that his fault?

But why mention it at all when it continually and consistently blows up in his face?

I actually think it is his fault for rasing expectations and setting himself up for a fall when the fans are already baying for blood.

I'm one of the seemingly few that is still backing the manager but he has been his own worst enemy over the past few weeks.

Hoping to bring.

There is a difference.

Yes you could say he should say nothing.....but that is what he has said.

People say he should say nothing, but if he says nothing then people will say he's not even trying to bring one in.

With the fans on his back like they are, whatever he does will be a mistake.

Better to under-promise and over-deliver than the reverse

It's hard not to comment when you are being asked direct questions all the time. Give him a break.
