I think Worsfold is the man for the job, but he needs another 2 solid seasons to fix things.

You’re a champ, Thx!!!
That point doesn’t make this club a basket case though. We were a basket case (meaning basically devoid of any hope and going no where) but that is hardly the case currently.
We have restructured and created a much better management setup in the wake of the Saga. We have one of the best training facilities around. We have drafted and traded in some very talented players. We have a coaching panel that seems to have developed a great game plan and who seem to have coached the playing group well. We have a list that has developed extremely well and play some very exciting and strong football (although inconsistent at this time).
All this is pointing to an upward direction and bringing much hope to the supporters for the first time in years.
So to keep saying we are a basket case is factually incorrect, morally incorrect and horribly negative and a nasty dismissal of all those, including the players, who have worked hard after a situation that would have broken any other club for many years.

Say what now?
Yeah totally…
Yeah, but aside from all that…we’re ■■■■, right?
I would add to that the great job Justin Crow and his team has done. Can’t remember the last time we had so few injuries. Touch wood.
