We should stop slagging players abilities or performances simply based on a poor season. Last year was a **** show. Different managers, different tactics, different cultures and vibes. If a player was played out of their natural position or was playing while needing more rest time after injury, or playing then loaned out, or not playing then back in the squad etc etc … give them some grace please. It’s a new pre season and a new chance. We might get a wee surprise or two on how some come on or come back after more professional support and guidance.
We do need a few better quality players in, by the same token some existing players might perform better around better players too.
Lenny is far from a fool. Him saying that he likes the Tods and Sutherlands isn’t for the social media. Tash Iakley Booth…. Same. There is quality in what has been kept on.

agree with that, we’ve certainly cut loose the majority of the serial underperformers/not good enoughs that was looong overdue.
Big season coming up for a few of them, if they continue to be poor when they are in the team it’s going to be called out but feel more confident Lenny will have the squad to manage it better. The likes of Todd and KRH got it all to do while hopefully the likes of cooper see more game time.
Here’s hoping with a better balance of players in the squad and if we address the failing from last 2 seasons there will be more optimism, espech as it appears the new signings will bring a better quality of football to east end. We’ve now been a terrible watch for years.

2 weeks into season Berkey will have his next scapegoat identified and will spend the entire season berating him till he leaves.

I think that the management team said there was an honesty about the squad. Obviously they believe they can improve the players we have. Sounds radical...

Can dig Berkey out but the player he was very vocal about didn’t get a new contract…

Did that justify him scapegoating him?

Does it justify bringing it back up again?

Mon now that`s no fair. New season, clean slate and aw that?
Bookies have stopped taking bets on Matty Todd though.....
