Character

[64]

They could at least pretend to give a dam when we concede,every week it’s just a dispirited trudge back when we conceded. I’ve eaten cucumber with more character than these clowns

Put that cucumber in some bread with some cheese and it’s quite a tasty sandwich

Prediction

Scunny finish 7th
loose first play off game
Butler wants an open top bus around the town for getting into the play offs .. as he will see it as a huge success .. no key players turn up for the bus ride as they signed for other clubs.
No way going up and NL next season with a weaker squad.

AB IS ARROGANT ,, no secret i dont like him or his attitude towards fans unless they say they love him… cannot stand any negative comments and always has a handy excuse as today when really he should have just put his hands up n say .. i made a mistake today and sorry to all the traveling fans.

I never wanted AB as manager.

He has done a reasonably good job – better than I expected.

This does not make him the man for the future – at all.

We will ot be promoted as we are not good enough.

Next season may not be as successful as this one……

Goes without saying I never wanted him as manager and still don’t.

But taking me III and Ifa out of the equation, unless he achieves promotion the negativity will grow towards him, grown enough already even in though position wise it’s a good season, that shouldn’t be happening but his attitude especially with fans will only drive more fans away.
Yes you’ll always have the 2500_3000 die hards but the club really don’t give a shit about them they’re locked in, its the casuals that count with that extra revenue to be had.
Slightly lucky for him yesterday was that we were away, keep doing stupid things like he did yesterday at home and you’ll start knocking hundreds off the home crowd if it hasn’t already even Ironawe was disappointed at the crowd against Rochdale.
Many fans won’t be taken for granted forever.
The board and Butler need to take note.
Believe you me no one wants promotion for scunny more than me I just hope he achieves it when scunny win (in the loose term) I win.

I was happy with his appointment and still am. I don’t like his recent comments about off field matters and yesterdays debacle but that aside, he’s doing a sterling job.

[Sanfran49]

Always give benefit of doubt until proved otherwise.

Stubborn and arrogant to supporters and this latest Gateshead excuse matches others. Tell the fans what you are going to do then they can decide if they want to save hard earned money. Keep treating them this way and the gates will fall and revenues drop.

So he made 6 changes, the issue was yet again a slow start and how many times has that been said. But usual attitude “we have only lost …..” . The instruction should be get out there and make things happen – fans said they could tell instantly they were not bothered ! Our Physio would never allow that to happen.

But now he has an extended contract !

My general feedback to Butler is ‘stop dicking about’

[Awaywego]

Heard one positive from the club interview, he stated it’s his job to win the playoffs.
At least he knows what his job is going forward, non of were doing better than most fans expected be, would be a shame to fall short on a guilt edge chance.
Leave nothing in the tank that’s all fans ask.

[ironfromafar]

Yes been a very good season back in the NL and in the eyes of many have overachieved but IMO regardless if the POs are a lottery one off game gig we simply are just not good enough to go up this season.

I do however hope to be proved wrong.

[Deereyme66]

Don’t see any reason why can’t win the playoffs bar facing York. Yesterday was an anomaly in terms of recent team selections and performances.

[Iron-awe]

Didn’t the cods win the playoffs after finishing seventh? We all would love to enter the playoffs in something like decent form but they are virtually one off cup games and we all know form goes out the window in plenty of of those games.

Jones
Belhouan
Evans
Horton
Denton
Westbroke
Rowley
Ewing
Roberts
Whitehall
Jones
Subs worth using – Beestin, Boyce, Howe and Mahady

If we can start the playoffs with the above and an instruction to score more than the other team we can give any of the other 6 a good game.

If we are missing any of the above it’s a bit of a problem. If we are missing 2 or 3 of them we might scrape through one game but I don’t think we can win 2 or 3.

This is not a criticism of Butler or the other potential replacements. We don’t have a budget for 20 top end National League players – simple as that.

Note: personally I would have Mahady back in goal for Jones. Decent shot stopper but I get nervous every time he leaves his line. On my viewing his back four get pretty nervous also.

Rory made a couple of mistakes in 15 games or so but most of what he did was done with a confidence that settles defenders.

[MK Iron]

Meant to add – we play 4-3-3 whatever the hell the other team play and the only tactic is to get the ball to the feet of Roberts or Jones everytime we have the ball.

Difficult to disagree with your 1st XI MK, Barrows done enough to be a useful sub. IMO. I haven’t given up on Smith yet but he’s been woeful so far on his return, he can’t have become a bad player surely, is he having his blip? I think Jones might be our new No1 next season so I’d expect him to play.

Aye. Our goals against hasn’t rapidly improved since his departure. Watson isn’t the greatest keeper on the planet, but was never this absolute disaster in this recent spell like claimed.

[MK Iron]

Apologies Siderite should have explained better. I meant Rory Mahady as he is our only other option.
Agree though Rory Watson was finally playing with some real confidence by the time York did the dirty on him.

If Karma is a real thing we will beat Yoyk at Wembley in May with Watson cheering us on.

To be fair, I could have followed better myself, but I was always more used to Watson being called ‘Rory’ than Mahady, even though they share a first name.
