Straight Red: Fans Forum Special

Hi Red, we didn't open up questions to the Forum itself, but we will be doing so for the Selim interview. I anticipate this will be on the day of the game on the 23rd, but i'll open a thread separately to leave your questions a few days beforehand.


Cheers,
Ewan
 

Bit late, wanted to listen on my commute! I like Erdem’s philosophy on trying to find “hidden gems” in different leagues and I hope it got into the minds of some supporters as to how important this is. With our attendance at a low the best thing the club can do is find these players develop them in the first team and sell on as a kind of feeder club. If the players bring a lot of success then even better. What worries me is the atmosphere has dropped, it’s maddening to think a couple of months ago we were #FortressBroadfield and now it’s reminsicent to a library. I think ultimately what Gabi Said about this is spot on there’s no leader or motivation or fight shown and along with the results it’s made for a dim environment at the club but as you said Ewan isn’t that what the manager is for in modern football? Once we’re mathematically safe we should start giving minutes to ANG, German and some fringe players so they get some more experience and develop so we have a good depth next season, as i felt when we got major injuries to key (and expensive) players it went downhill. Thanks for the special and looking forward to selim’s thoughts in the next podcast!
