Baffled when I saw the team at 14:00 and debated staying in the pub.
Should have done as the game was exactly what you would expect it to be given the team and formation.
Alfreton’s modus operandi is to try and stop anything resembling football, turn it into a football battle and bring everything down to their level. They are good at this anti football and if they get a weak referee (almost a given in NLN) they get results way beyond their ability.
In what alternative reality would an opposition manager decide mimicking the way Alfreton play would be a good idea? Welcome to planet Butler.
I don’t believe I have ever called for a managers head on here (apart from Keith Hill obviously) but I am sorry. Today we left well meaning incompetence behind and entered a whole new area of stupidity.
He is done. The only thing up for debate is the timescale. If it is longer than a few hours our season is done.
