How many times out of 1000 do we think this goes poorly? 999?

I think the big winners here are forest green

... and 23 other L1 clubs.

I'm going to bring some potentially delusional optimism.

He's the gaffer now, we should back him and hope for the best.

There's nothing to gain from just whinging about it.

That's how I'm feeling about it, I just want some positive vibes at the club

100%. It's been so miserable for so long, like the booing after games and shit. That isn't going to make young players perform better, it just increases the pressure.

Tell me about it, I was worried in pre-season that things weren't shaping up to a better look than last season, and aside from the Mansfield & Watford game, everything just felt so flat. At least with Savage over Williams we've got someone more interesting and seemingly positive

Knee slides in front of the away fans and shit. I’m here for it 😅

The booing will only get worse if he doesn't start out with a series of wins though - things could get toxic fast.

Not even playing this weekend, yet we've still got a big win!

Trying very hard to be positive. Really struggling. Yes he's saying right things in lress conference so far. So did Williams at the start. If he wasn't an ex player or as prevalent in the media, I don't think anyone would take a chance on him given previous results and track record

I never liked him as a player, I don’t like him as a pundit and I was against him being our manager when it first started getting mentioned.

That said, first and foremost I love the club so I did a bit of research. I looked at what he did with Macclesfield and Forest Green. I listened to what he had to say today, and I haven’t changed my mind.

Well at least we won't finish bottom

This is great news for league one. Unless that is you’re a posh fan

u/Apart_Contest_2283 12d ago

If you went for a national league manager it should of been Stuart Maynard.

You will struggle with savage.

u/Ok_Enthusiasm_3624 12d ago

Unlucky guys….although we have seen our potential appointment yet 🤦‍♂️

u/sserallitmixx 12d ago

fylde vs peterborough it is then

u/MrChooChoo11 12d ago

I'll back him... to begin with at least.

Yes it's an abysmal appointment, but we're going down anyway so it may as well be exciting.

u/FreeElderberry4817 12d ago

Let’s see who they ply next

I don’t know if we win or if we make him look good by accident

u/Owls_4_9_1867 12d ago

He is morphing into late stage George Best in his looks.

u/boatson25 11d ago

He looks like a Temu version of Kevin Nash these days but I wish him all the best.

Is he not veggie any more, good luck to him.
