It isn’t good enough. Just listened to their managers post match interview, taking the away point and clean sheet but disappointed not to win, pointing out Fitzsimons man of the match award.
Talked about being part time – says 2 of their players have been out working for Amazon delivering presents and they won’t train again as a team between now and 4th of January.
Humbling to say the least. Staggering that Butler can’t get a tune out of our squad of players.
It’s unfair to judge a manager now when you consider the crap he inherited, players lost, and restraints he still has.
Crap he inherited? You mean a team that finished second, playing the best football in the league and in most other years would have won automatic promotion?
Players he lost? From regular starters he lost two; Ogle and Butterfield. Both of whom you said were easily replaced and wouldn’t be missed?
Restraints he still has? You mean (per Michelle) the biggest budget in the league?
We’ve the best keeper in league in Fitz, the best footballer in the league in Roberts, a squad of full time pros that most NLN managers look at with envy, the best facilities, the biggest fanbase and as TJO pointed out, we’re up against part time lads who are spending their days delivering for Amazon amidst the Xmas rush? Even a poor-average manager at this level could get a tune out of our squad.
Give it to Muzzy. What is there to lose, we surely can’t get much worse?
