yeh.... and we only beat the bottom of the league side 2-1 away from home. God, it's all his fault. We even drew a game recently, bad bad bad result. 
still, maybe just maybe this little turn in form will get a few more positive vibes on the GPG.

What a crass statement
WD's job is to get players and in the present circumstances, loans are more and more likely that outright purchases (as applies to most clubs). WD got Tommy Wright here, not Coppell or any other past manager. Give him credit for that at least.

**** all to do with downes - more like Adams soft spot for the bees
If downes is so sh*t hot how come no one else wants to lob down on loan to GP?
Piss him off before it's too late

Let's see the results in October when we play the better teams eh?
A few points and you lot are easy pleased
SC - Don't start the abuse - It's not needed
Let's just agree to disagree instead of the name calling b***ocks that usually starts

firstly, the results will, i'm sure, be worse in October and I guess most Bees fans expect that. That's not a slur on WD's ability - just the fact we are playing bigger and better sides. Sides that are expected to be up there at the end unlike us who were widely tipped as relegation candidates due to the fact we are skint and have had to offload so many good players over the last season or 2.
Easily pleased ? Well, we've got 13 out of a possible 15 points from the last 5 matches so yep, I guess I am.
Ok, abuse is uncalled for (well, only just
) and I apologize but you just continually go off on rants and you're just so far removed from what's going on. You've got the GPG to keep you company but that's a pretty limited media really. By the way, I believe a certain Harry Bassett had a pretty big part in this loan deal (a close 'football world' friend of WD!!!)

Well, the recent turn in form keeps us safe for a while. Hopefully, a decent result against Colchester will cement us a place in mid-table.
As for positive vibes, there wont be any while everyone races to get on their PC simply to say "neh neh neh neh neh neh, told yer so", everytime we get a reasonably acceptable result.
Pathetic.

Let's hope so
Sweepy said:
What is your problem Sweepy ? Does there have to be a negative in everything for you ?
To be honest, I think it's bloody positive that people are able to do that cos it means we're winning games. Yet, we still have people, look at one of the first posts in this thread, who are determined to undermine the current management (and in other threads, people criticising certain members of the current playing staff). There's enough to be negative about with regards the financial position yet alone reading those kind of thoughts after 5 games unbeaten.

Lay off the guy, people wanted results produced and we at present are getting them.
Go back a couple of years when Sir Steve was in charge you may recall we went on a run of 12? away games without victory or the 5? consecutive defeats just after xmas starting at Cambridge. why didnt he get abused in this way?? It is just double standards, WD gets a result and still gets grief, i know he is not the man some people want in charge but as long as he is why cant we just get behind him and the lads then maybe we will get a few more made wins away or at home.
Have a very pleasant sunday chaps!

Not at all. But being a Bees supporter is frustrating, and the good times are so rare, that sometimes it's just better to sit back and appreciate rather than resuming the negativity. We have won today, so what is the point in the numerous threads that have sprung up about how the pro-Wally camp were supposedly right all along?SC said:
This is a discussion forum where people air views. Nobody is getting sacked because someone on the GPG wants it to be. Sometimes people take all this too seriously.
SC said:
Well i'm not one of them. As Edmundo said in his last post, it's hardly fair to wish doom on the management when things are bad, then not be prepared to give them some credit when things turn around.
Hopefully some of our concerns regarding training have been listened to. Equally, I know that Wally himself was looking for a forward for a while. So far, touch wood, it seems that Wrighty is the answer.

Edmundo said:Funny how it's all Wally's fault when we're losing but not when we're winning
It's also funny that after 4 bad results we were being told that we couldn't judge Wally by those four games as it was far too early.
If 4 defeats is too short a time to judge then 3 wins and a draw is also. Care to look at his overall record at BFC?

Just felt you didn't make this original point clear enough to read, Luton Bee. A most excellent post, which clearly lays down the double standards of many posters on this site.
What a great record Wally has had since January.
I'll miss all this when I begin my new career on the 20th... not.
Sack Downes now..
As I recall the discussion about Wally and his ability as a manager culminated in a peak after the Plymouth game.Seven games into the season plus at least 6 pre-season games.The slagging took part in the ether and I don't recall any shouts of Wally Out at the matches or any Downes Must Go placards raised.What it appeared to do was concentrate the minds of the powers that be into realising that the morale of,both the team and more importantly the paying customers,was extremely low and that to keep bums on seats something had to be done.This has now been put in place with some short term signings and excellent loan players hence the change in fortune.Long may it continue.

So Downes should be sacked and this is because of the amount of money he has to spend on players wages?
We really need a manager who will push the weekly budget up?
