9 points, and let’s face it we will probably beat Brackley, draw with Shields and lose to Market. will only keep us at pace with Kidderminster who are 4 points ahead and a game in hand which they will win.
Stan will play three different line ups with out any forethought or planning
A week is a long time in football. Beat Brackley, beat Shields and 6 points so far, same starting line up both games.
Whatever we might think about substitutions the manager has to consider game time for the whole squad, injuries, fitness issues, playing loanees and getting the whole circus successfully to the end of the season. If Butler had left Roberts and Whitehall on and there was an injury or they weren’t fully at the races in the next game he’d be criticised.
Horrendous as that Rushall defeat was, I think it was the best kick up the arse this team could have got. None of the teams in this league are just going to roll over against us however big we might think we still are, and hopefully now they’ll treat Needham with enough respect to get a result and make it 9 points from the destiny defining week.
And Kiddie are bottling it !
