KB played a recording of Wallsy saying that stuff on SEN today and he sounded very positive about it. He reckons we should win more games than we did last year as our list has been improved!

Must be the Coburg mindset because that's exactly how I see it.

Wallsy has never been one to pull his punches, or drink his own bathwater, and that would be his considered opinion.

I've been a Walls fan for a while, and whilst I don't share his optimism, you can't question that in footy, he has pretty much seen and done it all.

He is great mates with Sergio Silvagni, and I'm sure that via SOS he would know so much more about the club than he releases to the public. I think that perhaps his friendship with Sergio may influence his positive feelings, but maybe I'm just being bitchy.

WTF? KB applying logic to an arguement? Never thought I live to see the day. Or is he at his sarcastic best?

2018-Wooden Spoon

2020-dare to dream? 11th is better than last I suppose
2021-Pi$$ or get off the pot
2022- Real Deal or more of the same? 0.6%
2023- "Raise the Standard" - M. Voss Another year wasted Bar Set

And Walls certainly gave the Bolton appointment the thumbs up when it was announced.

GTC, it was Wallsy saying it not KB. KB of course was incredulous as what Wallsy said implied we were going to knock off the Tiges on Thurs!  Smile)

Wallsy has never held back when it comes to criticising the club for poor decisions, list management, etc.  In fact, the article starts with "He's been one of their biggest critics for many years ..."

KB may have sounded incredulous Cookie but I suspect he is very worried about a loss and another year of turmoil for his Tiggies.

I'm sure there's something in that DJC - a frightened man singing in the dark?  8)

I know in the past he's been critical of various things - he's been critical of the poor kicking skills for several years, he's been critical of the board, he's been critical of too many players not pulling their weight and leaving the work to a few (e.g Judd), he's been critical of sacking/hiring of past coaches etc.

I'll be interested to see if one day he comes out and gives SOS an almighty whack.
