I expected more discussion about playing tactics and recent team performances and less about transfers.

Two points that really came across:

- Gabby is not Harry Kewell... HK would never admit that his own farts smell.. In contrast Gabby was very unguarded, owned up to his mistakes, still learning & getting to know what makes each of his players tick, he displayed a total lack of arrogance.

- We tend to make comments about Selim, but it is obvious that he is the junior partner to Erdem, who is engaging & articulate, but so are most market traders.

Best question of the night was about football philosophy, but they appeared to miss the central theme.

First point you make about the difference between Gabby and HK is why I believe he is still in the job as far as fans pressure to keep/remove him is concerned.

The question about catering and pricing wasn’t asked which surprised me. I also wished we got some elaboration on the training ground as I thought it was secured at a school pending the removal of travellers? And now they’re on the 3G?

Can't say I thought that was one of the better forums of recent years...Far too many people asking nit picking questions claiming they were talking for the majority of fan's. ..Mr Coffee stood his ground well considering English is not his first language.

I hope he gets the time to pick some of his own players because clearly he does not rate some of the hunger and desire of his current crop....I fear the dark cold shell brigade may have their way if we don't gain safety in the next 5 games or so. .

Yes, there was an awful lot of focus from Gabby on mindset & also performance analysis, he seemed to have all of the relevant stats stored away.

You only truly find out about individual qualities, such as composure under pressure, spirit & focus, on matchdays... to a large extent the answer seems to rest in developing character through experience,.. bit of a catch 22...(?)

rather odd how at the END of the season there will apparently be money for the manager to bring in who he (the manager) wants. That's also clear indication he aint going anywhere. Saying that the previous manager style somewhat forces the current managers style is a really weak excuse. I don;t think the club should reveal Camera is the least earning player disrespectful to him. The 'we've got player in for Harry's system' doesn't wash with me, what a luxury any manager to have a fresh start and recruit his entire squad! Its unreal and managers have to get the best out of what they have.

I don't recall anyone claiming to speak for majority of fans, only people asking questions they thought were important to them (which is the point of a fans forum).

Still it was a great opportunity for you personally to add some balance by standing up and supporting him by saying what a good job you thought he was doing. Was your laryngitis playing up again.

As for the 'dark cold shell brigade' well we did look for you afterwards, we might have had a chat but it seems when it finished you were out of the door from your back row position faster than Usain Bolt.

Shame, I guess some were prepared to speak up on the night and others....well...
