Jewell: Wins and Signings Will Get Fans Excited for the New Season
Jewell: Wins and Signings Will Get Fans Excited for the New Season
Saturday, 2nd Apr 2011 12:00

Boss Paul Jewell says winning games during the remainder of this season and bringing in quality signings in the summer will get the Town support excited ahead of the 2011/12 campaign. Jewell feels his squad is currently a few '"big hitters" away from being potential challengers.

Jewell says winning games between now and May will give the club some momentum, as will summer additions: “I also think that if we can sign quality players between now and when we come back, that will get the fans excited.

“There’s nothing like winning games to get people to come to football matches and I think we’ve done OK, but we are three or four top Championship players short of pushing.

“And if we can get a striker or two and one or two other players in key positions, we’ve got a decent squad around that.

"But we need some big hitters, some people who are going to take us forward with goals.”

I'am alredy excitied, '"big hitters" are vlearly coming to town! Jewell only met Evans last week so this must have been agreed. Evans was wise not to give Keane any since last summer.

I'm afraid I'm sceptical, heard it all before, each year for many years, usually about the time season tickets need renewing. Nothing against PJ but we need to see actions and not dreams. Sad that this seasons finished already, even with the scum game to come. Still I wouldnt have put money on Bullard or Dyer being here either so what do I know!

Beating Norwich would make a huge difference - in truth the only real thing to play for. Was hoping PJ would show attacking intent and play two up - but is that going to happen?

Thought England played well with one up front on Tuesday. If you get the right players for the system you can play really attractive and attacking football.

The number and calibre of players signed in the summer surely depends if and when Connor Wickham joins spurs or liverpool, and how much we get for him. Otherwise can't see much money being available for PJ to spend.

Reuser31 :- I think Marcus Evans would possibly prefer it to happen that way, but IF Connor doesn't go, I can still see Mr. Evans digging deep into the Lollylocker, after all, he's done it twice before.

A few more good home performances are needed. The fans have not seen many of those this season.

Sorry, but I truly don't see anything much different from last summer happening unless Wickham is sold for a huge amount of money. I believe ME has decided enough is enough of just putting his hand in his pocket for no return. My biggest fear however, is that we sell Wickham and that money isn't released to PJ. Please let me totally wrong.

Even if the same amount of cash that beano got to spend or even less is given to Jewell I trust him to spend it a lot more wisely. He has already hinted the type of players he wants and if that hasn't given everyone a bit of confidence w

I think we have to put our support and trust into PJ. He had done a really good job at Bradford and Wigan. He needs to keep the nucleus of our side then get in his team. But will he have the cash. We know good football can be played by plays on frees as we had 3 years of no cash under BFJ. BFP is a similar manager. So he is right for me. I am excited to see who we get cos I trust that we will be in the top half this time next season and that will put us within reach
