" We lack real explosive pace to exploit space. Maybe that is why we paid a fee for Tanto Olaofe but he hardly gets any game time and whilst quick does he have the goal scoring skills to match his speed ? Most of his football has been at Sutton Utd on loan where as I understand it he scored 16 goals in his last season (?) as a winger. Been on about lack of pace in the side since the NLN days. Even the ones regarded by some as being pacy are not, just quicker that the rest. As for tanto he has said that he does not like playing wide but sees himself as a central attacker. Its either he needs to be persuaded that at the moment he isn,t and would be better playing out wide as his goal tally proves, or find a way to use his speed where the lad wants to play. Its up to our coaching staff and manager to get the best out of him and not what he wishes himself.

Tom beresford been getting some stick since yesterday and I don't know if he is someone that can handle it. Is he? I don't know why anyone would give him stick, his videos provide a new and interesting slant on things and he seems an amiable sort of bloke.

Tom beresford been getting some stick since yesterday and I don't know if he is someone that can handle it. I agree. I understand where people are coming from with what they are saying but enough of what he has tweeted points to someone who is probably quite vulnerable. I like seeing the videos he produces, some of his interaction on social media is a bit odd but he's not doing anyone any harm. Definitely one of those 'if you've not got anything nice to say, don't say anything at all' scenarios.

People have been taking the p1ss because he did a Q&A on twitter and they presumably think he has ideas above his station. Personally, I think he is just trying to self promote and build up a following on social media. It probably also points to his vulnerabilities. People should enjoy the footage and keep their thoughts to themselves. He's not doing anything that can harm the club and is producing more County content for us to enjoy. It's pretty sad really.

I don't think the original tweet that seems to have kicked it off even tagged him in the tweet and was more aimed at County fans than it was him anyway.

Saw his Q&A which is a bit much for a camera man but, as others have said, harmless enough.

There have definitely been some tweets replying to him. All just seems a bit unnecessary.

This is the one I saw: Didn't tag him in it and wasn't even about him as such, but more about County fans specifically looking for him to get on camera. He found it, blocked the tweeter and then came back to give a passive aggressive 'thanks for the feedback š' He definitely seems to have a bit of an ego and cannot take even the mildest of criticism.

Tbh, heās dead right. People playing up to the camera and out celebrating each other is performative nonsense. Itās not an insult to him to say that. Weird if heās blocked the lad who tweeted. And heās always asking for feedback anyway, isnāt he? If doing so, expect positive and negative. Donāt get all uppity if someone highlights things they donāt like (even though hasnāt happened here!)

Yeah, completely agree. It becomes performative 'limbs' rather than natural joy and celebration. Agree on the feedback point too; if you're asking for it and being interactive with the fanbase then you've got to take the rough with the smooth. Not everybody's going to like your content.

Yep, dead right. You see it on those dire āaway daysā accounts. Some drip in a knock off Stone Island jacket on his arse four rows forward from where he started. Iāve been going to games 30 years and not once has there ever been any situation where that could happen without it being forced or exaggerated. Last word on it from me now as donāt want it to turn into something he can get mardy about but, if youāre reading this, probably a good idea to stop blocking people just because you donāt like their views. If theyāre laying into you/being abusive then fair enough, but itās not a great look blocking just because of a difference of views.

I think he does a cracking job and it gives great insight for fans. Nothing against the lad but there seems to be some sort of drama every week via cryptic tweets etc. Most people doing press at County for years just keep their head down and get on with their work spectacularly, heās only been here since February and I feel like thereās more drama than with non playing staff than in the past 10 years! I feel like the attention he draws to himself (both positive and negative) could have an impact on whether he stays on past this season. Keep his head down and keep producing great content and heāll be fine.

Johnson wouldnāt be mine (Croasdale and Ben also fit that bill) I do see what youāre saying I think Ben is my player of the season! Quite right too. Both immense and rightly get the plaudits. Was just really pointing out Johnsons contribution

Hussey and Johnson. f*ck my life. Neither one wanted by Port Vale in this league. We can see why. Johnson yes, Hussey no, they were League One by then.
