What's that Mark.. 2nd half of season needs to be better? 20:45 - Nov 21 with 6004 viewsFrimleyBlue

But the board police have been hounding anyone who showed concern at certain aspects of the season so far.

"We need to see a second half of the season probably better than we’ve had in the first half, if we want to ultimately get to where we want to get to"


Thanks Mark good to see you feel the same slight concern at certain aspects of the season so far.

Oh so I've changed an actual quote. Whilst using the actual quote. Interesting take.

Lesson my my old business studies class

imagine the pope lands at JFK airport, walks to a microphone bit before he speaks a journo shouts are 'are you going to visit a New York Strip Club'

The pope pauses, and replies "are there strip clubs in New York"

It's actually quite puzzling, and I can quite easily see this being turned into an Oscar winning film starring Tom Hanks,. A story telling the tale of a man trying s to understand his obsession. And failing. Badly.


His entire posting history is that of a man who made a ludicrously embarrassing hot take and rather than hold his hands up and admit his mistake, he's decided to double, triple and quadruple down on it.

In much the same manner as a bloke who once shat himself in public trying to claim that he LIKES walking around in besh1tted pants in the mistaken belief that it gives him more gravitas and dignity.

It's quite clear tbh. He believes we need a better 2nd half of the season to get promoted. I agree.

I think the 'probably' in there indicates that he doesn't mean the first half has not been good enough, more that it's developing into a three horse race that might require more points than usual to clinch automatic promotion.

It's a truism anyway, he's not going to say we need a second half of the season probably worse than we've had in the first half

To be fair, McKenna hasn't been pretending things are perfect, either. However, the context of that quote implies not sitting on our laurels, but that the team will need to keep pushing hard to be where we want to be at the end of the season - and reinforcing the squad to help that.

Depends how others do doesn't it.

I would suggest we would need to improve our home form and to ensure we don't throw away points when so close to 3.

Which tbh is all some posters have wanted before getting jumped on by the usual posters. Which is quite funny as those same posters are the first to jump on this one. ( not yourself. You actually tend to discuss things)

You've completed ignored the word "probably" which makes the context of the quote completely different to the title of the post.

Go on then how so

If he's saying probably due to Wednesday being right behind us then he's still saying we need to improve on first half season, if there's nothing to improve then you don't need to do better.

Mark and KMcK get bigger bonuses for winning the league (" ... where we want to get to ...".

We'd all accept getting promoted as runners-up. Carry on as per and we're runners up.

I'm not here to teach you English, I suggest a GCSE at the local evening classes if you don't understand how the word probably in that sentence doesn't change the context.

If last season is anything to go by, then there will be teams pushing hard in the final months up to May. Given we're second now, improving upon the first-half performance will cement our status at the top. Slacking at all could see us overtaken.

The best way to maintain position is to keep finding ways to do things better and (in the specific context of those remarks) strengthen the squad.

You’re almost there. He’s saying we probably need to improve (to guarantee a place as it’s so tight). It’s not a criticism though, it’s a statement of ambition. You’ve turned it into a criticism.

You could well be right. However that also goes against the views of those who felt we didn't need any signings..
