Also very difficult circumstances with low staff levels. I'm sure they have prioritised the things that really matter. Does it matter if the summer signings haven't got a pic on the website? We've never had it so good, enjoy it.

It really is the little things at times that make all the difference. Go on the official club website and none of the summer signings have their pictures up under ‘first team’ and those that do have are pictured in last seasons kit. The team have some nice looking new kit in terms of warm up gear and the tracksuits worn pre-kickoff but none of it is for sale anywhere. The apparent slowness in communicating what’s happening in regards to the villa game - this should be getting hyped up all over the show and as people have said this could have had an impact on the gate for the Exeter game tomorrow. The stuff coming out in terms of social media also seems to have gone backwards a bit too. The club need to up their brand presence a bit more and galvanise that supporter buy in etc. I’m sure some of it will come with results etc but I feel we are missing a trick and getting a bit left behind in quite a few areas.
I know it has been a tough old time for everyone and there is always loads that needs doing but has anyone else picked up on this? Surely if I’m getting the vibe from 300 miles away then the local population who let’s face it doesnt take much for them to lose interest must be getting it too?
On the plus side, pitch looked great from the pics at the weekend and you can see all the work that various people have undertaken around the ground so kudos to all involved there.

Let’s give that Exeter lot a walloping now tomorrow night

Wonder if this is why Anya is leaving.

She knows a damned sight more than any of them!

Haven't seen it advertised though.

the number of totally new posters who think we should be able to run things like a premier league club is shocking - again several are probably (definitely) trolls who seam to just like the sound of their own voice.....
Yes there are plenty of things the club can do better - but it is learning - it's not been helped by covid as most things that will get learned would have been picked up and implemented last season
