Ok... Fed up with people behind me on the bus already. Say Trotman is barely good enough for league 2 and Lee is league 2 at best...

This was tweeted by one of our supporters en route to Walsall -Everyone is entitled to their opinion but why on Earth would these people, who presumably consider themselves 'true supporters' ( as opposed to 'happy clappers') go to away matches- it beggars belief !

Some people just don't understand football. Trotman will boss L2 and Lee is lower Championship quality.

My tweets are being recognised

But seriously, god knows what's going off. He also mentioned something about 'the idiot we got from wolves'. Presumably he's on about Davis... I don't even...

Perhaps if you just turned around and said "you're a twohat" he might get the message. At least you aren't on your way to Torquay

Well they're going & i'm not so they are welcome to their opionions. Trottman shows a lot of promise, but class & ex-Rochdale dont normally go together. Tommy Lee is Championship quality easily though.

Trottman will be just fine next year

One thing that has always made me shake my head of the years is just how deluded some town fans are. We take the urine out of the dee dahs for having delusions of grandeur but listening to some town fans go on anyone would think we were a massive premiership team at times.

I think Trotman will be a rock for us next season and id like to think we a little investment we should come back up quite comfortably

A lot of town fans are idiots and know very little about football.

Three issues, here.

1. I'm with 'Ernie' in relation to turning round to confront: if anyone finds a comment distasteful why not challenge it there and then? I'm not suggesting fist-drawn arguments, but it seems to me this forum is all too often a refuge for those unwilling to take part in grown-up exchanges.

2. Trotman will pi** League Two, Lee will probably be in the Championship.

3. The term 'true supporters' is meaningless.

Why is someone saying they don't rate certain players distasteful?

Trotman will be OK in League TWO. Lee will be in League One at best, hopefully he'll still be with us. Hope you don't find this distasteful.
