Really surprised 2 new forwards weren’t announced yesterday. Minimum we need 2 forwards, keeper, and a centre back? I wasn't rusk is probably still on holiday. Let him enjoy his rest and he'll make signings as soon as he's back. It doesn't mean the deals aren't done. Let’s be honest: Rusk went on holiday at the end of May. Can’t see any other reason for such an underwhelming performance in our biggest game in years. How much time off does he need?

Similar to when we made the play-offs under JG, you mean ?

Despite big investment last close season, the team simply wasn’t good enough, as it wasn’t all season when facing better teams. Rusk did better than Jim against the top teams but only slightly. Next season it will be Rusk’s team, if they are not doing it then you can fill your boots.

It could take up days in some cases. I’ve advertised jobs that have had over 200 applicants. A lot of those won’t even remember which jobs they’ve applied for when you speak to them either.

Perhaps our management team are stumbling over who they want to bring in. As like everything else they do, they haven’t got a clue!!! What an embarrassing post.

Just part of the endless negative procession of digs and jibes at the current set up. No opportunity is missed to shoe horn in a dig at Rusk in particular. It’s disrespectful and tiresome.

What a bunch of slapped arses we’re turning into. Haven’t announced two new strikers in the first week of free agency so we’re up in arms. We’d be taking the piss out of others for that. Have a word with yourselves….

Have a word with yourselves…. Spot on. It’s just an excuse to have a pop at Rusk and Wilson. All without substance as well. As Ricky says in an earlier post, it’s time to judge Rusk with his squad and at least a full season behind him. This board is good but when something happens that someone doesn’t like it’s like a bunch of toddlers who have had their toys taken from them.

All season I have said we dont look like a TEAM.We look like 11 players still in preseason.I dont know why as they are all talented.Also we dont seem to have a player who can make space for themselves or others in the box.Most teams even the "poorer" sides seem able to do that. Hopefully Rusk/Wilson will sort it.If not then it really will be time for them to go as fans will not stand for another nearly season

Putting them in a starting 11 doesn’t make them a good team. They need time to learn the way each other plays and to form a connection on the pitch. With fewer additions this season we’ll be a far better team. Every single topic turns in to the Gannon/anti anything that isn’t Jim vs those that are in support of the new manager for taking a job he was offered! The decision was made, let’s move on and get behind the new manager that I think has done a very good job since he’s been here.

So the fans now demand promotion every year just because we have an owner with some money? Let's get this right. As fans we have not been charged higher prices to pay for the signings made and all the excellent improvements in facilities - the owner has funded these. We have no right to 'not stand' for anything but Promotion season. It'll be up to the owner and board to decide whether a 'nearly' season is acceptable. You talk as though we were nearly relegated- get it in perspective. The play off was disappointing but we've made real progress as a club since being in league north only 2 years ago. I don't know if Rusk is the best choice or not but he deserves a go with his squad.

Have a word with yourselves…. Pretty funny given that it's only a few weeks since the big topics of derision were the size of the squad and seemingly indiscriminate signings.

He's had to wait until the end of the season for their contracts to run out, so that he can move them on & free up the wages to enable him to do something about it

Also we dont seem to have a player who can make space for themselves or others in the box.Most teams even the "poorer" sides seem able to do that. I reckon we do: Madden. The issue is more that he’s the kind of player you could build a team around who’s been shoe-horned into a rigid and one-dimensional structure that - let’s be honest - teams have been able to predict since quite early on last season. I’m still far from convinced that Madden wasn’t paid for out of the 2021/22 budget hence the lack of even the usual rumours about signings let alone official announcements. But as you say, the individual players aren’t lacking - it’s the managerial glue bringing them together that isn’t there. But that’s hardly surprising when you have management by committee…

Wasn’t that role in existence last season, has someone left or was Simon Wilson fulfilling that role last time round ?
