It’s a winning business. To do that you have to score more than you concede. 1-0 gets you the same points as 5-4.
Most of us were prepared to swallow 5 defenders and a holding midfielder whilst it produced wins despite the immense pressure it puts on the remaining 4 players to score/create.
Then the goals started to rain in and any trust in Butlerball seemed to dissappear.
Two games with a back four seemed to steady the ship. It would have been odd enough to have returned to “standard” Butlerball but to respond to the divisions anti football masters (now Buxton have left the dark side behind) with our own brand of hoofball mixed with shithousery beggars belief.
We tried it at Scarborough to no avail. Why would it work in a home game against a team much better at the dark arts than Scarborough?
We did not manage one meaningful goal attempt in either of those 2 games.
I fully understand Michelle and the board/CEO giving Butler more time and financial support with Beck and Harris but without some clarity of thinking from Butler/Schofield then the season will be gone in half a dozen games and 3,000 plus crowds with it.
Is anyone concerned that since Turnbull was terminated there is nobody left at the club with professional football experience? Whatever people thought of Turnbull he had the credibility to question last Saturdays debacle.
Final thought it is absolutely OK for supporters to question and disagree with decisions of the coaching staff.
In my view it’s not OK to be abusive about them. Could we leave that to the idiots on the other side?
