The Season Starts on Saturday. Watford.

Where fellow sufferers gather to share the pain, longing and unrequited transfer requests that make being a Wanderer what it is...

Yet another international break due in about a months time, wonder what situation the club will be in by then, 5 games away I think?

dangerously close to that horrible moment when you actually WANT a defeat, for the greater good.

I guess, like myself & many others, you can't actually want it, but things are so dire that you begin to think that way.

At this point, like tossing the coin, you do know, deep down, how you feel.
Yep. Bang on the money. Never want us to lose but I can see the benefit. If he's gone by October we'll have a shout of a decent season.
Why? No guarantee that the 'new' manager we bring in would do better.
Pfffft.

Absolutelty .... whereas with this one we do KNOW we're in the shite.

Trying to think of the last time I wanted the Wanderers to lose a game. Prickson apart it has to be from the Phil Neal era. I think we were playing Swansea at home and in time honoured tradition when we needed a result (ie a defeat) we got the win and he kept his job for another week or two.

I don't want us to lose this Saturday, I don't want Coyle out.

I want him to get it right.

Perhaps we'll see some 'Murray can inspire us to win' cobblers in the BN today.

Let's see some passing, let's see defenders standing up to attackers, let's introduce the players to each other so they at least know each others names.

If Coyle goes it'll only be another duckegg that takes over.
I'm not asking you to 'think outside the box' I just wish you'd have a rummage around in it once in a while.

If we're winning, and playing football to do it, I wouldn't care if Lofty the Lion was manager.

Well I get to see my first match ever live on Saturday (coming from Australia and all), so I guess I'll be the one person in this thread who is excited and is looking forward to the match!

Sorry Coffey, but things are too far gone for me to get behind your rallying cry with anything even approaching conviction.

My first game of the season on Saturday so the season really does start here for me. Virgin season ticket not yet used. I was driving down to Devon for the Burnley game and getting very infrequent text updates for the Derby and Forest games. Can't say I'm gripped by football fever yet but we'll see.

Hope you have a great day.

Get behind 'em!

Actually you'll probably be able to fit in a full lifetime of Wanderers emotions on Saturday. BWFC-EXPRESS! Some cheering, some booing, some joy and some soul crushing desperation.

Hopefully not in that order.

Make sure you have a few pints before you go in the ground. You may just need it.

And have a good day.

I tend to feel all those emotions in the first 15 minutes while watching a game on tv back home so I have no idea how I'll handle it live!

I think I'll need a few just to calm the nerves to be honest!

Any pubs quite close to the ground? Maybe I should just take a read of Mullayos thread again which has been particularly helpful.

No further excuses. They either start to look organised or there should be one hell of a fuss kicked up until Simple Simon goes.
