Butler saying Roberts is 50/50. Spoke very well in this latest interview IMO but no doubt some will take issue with aspects of it and resort to insults like ‘buffoon’ and ‘thicko’ as they continue their agenda to have him sacked

The only person who will get Mr Butler sacked is Mr Butler.

In the prediction league I usually go for a win with the odd draw. Let us hope we want to win as opposed to stopping them from winning.

[Awaywego]

Outsourced the bar from the Alfreton game, one must start to question the board on whether they know what they’re doing, going from bringing catering back in-house and employing a catering manager to nothing. what was that about?

[Siderite]

Sounds like there could be competing visions inside the club.

As ever i wish AB and the team all the best but i picked up on his comment 1 min into the vid on the club website in which he said we focus first and foremost on stopping their (Alfreton) threat .. now surely being at home we should be set up to attack and play on the front foot and impose our game on them not being negative and focus on stopping them ..lets make them sing to our tune at AAGP not vice versa.

This negative approach could well be ABs down fall if things go badly in the coming games .. IMO this has got an away win written all over it hence my 2-1 loss prediction.

Its very very tight at the top and we could well be in the play off places or worse before Xmas with teams around us with games in hand so this Saturday is a massive fixture .. in fact a must win so im crossing everything including my ears hoping im wrong and its a home win

Small pitch.
As an away manager I’d go 4-2-4 and get it from back to front as quick as!
Pressure = mistakes = goals.

I stopped listening to pre @ post a fair while ago. However, IFA lured me in to enduring the latest.

Butler harping on about the clean sheets, stating it’s 12 (“I think”) for the season… Stan, it’s 13!
Individual errors.
Would you not be miffed if your gaffer undervalued you by 8% ?

Interesting to note that we’ve scored one goal or less in 11 of our 23 games this season!

We may have the best goal difference in the league but when the going gets tough, we struggle to score.

“Player management group” – I wonder if Ferguson had one ( lol ).

Sounds as if it’ll be a difficult game on Saturday.

[another fed up fan]

On reflection 4 points from those two games was okay.

Nothing but a well played win is what’s needed tomorrow.
No excuses if one player (Roberts) is injured.

3-1 Iron

3546.

[Cliff Byrne’s Right Peg]

Feels like another big game for Butler, needs a strong performance and a result. Alfreton will be engaging in the dark arts from the 1st minute so I feel an early goal is crucial.

Ah Yes, Cliff. Last season, second only to Buxton in cheating and trickery. Well, Buxton have normalised, let us hope that the same applies to today’s visitors.
Nice day in winter – that’s Mrs Lesgeo and my good self making a guestappearance at the AA this afternoon. (I’m still gonna wear my long johns, just in case.)

[Square Ball Bullimore]

Hopefully a good match but talking about nullifying the opponent when playing at home doesn’t inspire confidence. I’m of the Kevin Keegan school of concentrating on what we can do and outscoring the opponent.

Make them deal with what we do and continue with that philosophy for the rest of the season – home and away.

[ironfromafar]

Roberts injured, no Charlton and the excellent Brogan only on bench … new lad Harris in i thought maybe Williams would come in for Roberts who will be a big miss.

Strange, unconvincing first 11 for me. Back 5 is back.

[JOHNMMAW]

Definately back to 5. AB has not learned anything over the ladt couple of games. Attack away defend at home.

[PhilAnders]

5-2-3 or 3-4-3 ? Either way I think it will be hoofball today. We might score a goal or two, but Alfreton will get one more. Sorry to say another disjointed performance and another defeat.

[BigLeftToe]

Probably the most uninspiring lineup I’ve seen all season.

Roberts injured so Butler puts Brogan on the bench.Idiotic

Watching the Twitter /X feed. Evans MOTM so far, both in defence and attack! Says it all really!

[PhilAnders]

And Goalless at the Interval.

[ironfromafar]

Sounds like its been a terrible half .. HR guy “worst he has seen”

[mistertonmick]

Be glad when this is over, no idea what the tactics are, we haven’t looked like scoring, it is dreadful

Didn’t hear the game due to unknown technical issues.
Sad to have called it.
