You won’t see ‘Sisyphean’ on the Facebook group

We need to become that indescribable menace… that juggernaut.
We need to develop that unstoppable momentum and propel that rock to the top of the mountain.
Calm down alcy we won last night and it’s four games in everything to play for.

It’s a long hard climb back to where we used to be alcy and where we all aspire to go and we will have periods on the finance we have when things won’t always change much, such is life but we are heading in the right direction IMO.

I thought I saw a few “green shoots” last night especially in our second half and in the nights other results. Playing two big lads up front gave us a long ball outlet. Who cares if they got their head on a few, if they can’t direct it then it’s a second ball to compete for and Rowley and Richards did that. Providing then they play a simple short ball forward or wide then we are on the front foot. Jones is a good shot stopper but he is playing in the National league for a reason and that is his distribution is crap. If so, don’t ask him to distribute. He hoofs it clear when he has to and the rest of the time rolls it to the back 4, they invite the press to stretch the opposition midfield and then play it long in the air for the 2 big lads to compete, most times the CB will get it. If we play 433 then 2 ball winning midfielders and JB is a good midfield. Who then to play with big lads up top? From a Goals scored perspective, it’s Alfie Beestin. You could play Dec Howe through the middle between them. Or a wide player. Currently, I don’t think that wide player is Pat Johes; Brennan or Hurst for me. Finally, when Whitehall is fit you could go with 3 big lads up front. In any of these scenarios we get the ball forward by initially bypassing midfield. We compete hard for the second ball and we press high( Parker Gale and Howe would definitely do this).
Regarding the other results the invincibility of some of the teams was laid bare. I don’t think Sutton are the new Rochdale ( or York) and everyone else has dropped some strange points somewhere in the first 4 games. You know a few wins ( particularly against the clubs above us) and we will be right in the mix! Let’s hope Butler has a settled Style and Formation ready for Monday, where Carlisle will be mortified to have conceded a last minute equaliser last night!1 user thanked author for this post.
He subbed in pretty good time last night Phil which I guess was saving legs for Monday, if he starts the same eleven against Carlisle I wouldn’t complain but maybe Jones needs a rest out wide for Hurst who delivers a better ball into the box IMO. One thing was clear last night Butterfield still makes us tick, based on last night he’s a good signing.

We will fail again, but we must fail better.

Butterfield shouldn’t have been let go by Butler in first place.
Funny once he left many thought he wasn’t that good afterall, guess that’s Scunny fans for you.
For many, it wasn’t that he wasn’t good, more that he wasn’t so vital that we would fail without him or he couldn’t be replaced.
He will always be fondly remembered by me for his contribution to the crowd funder.

Quite a few said he was to old after he left, had a poor run in to the season end, trying to convince others. And of course our mod didn’t rate him anyway.
Funnily enough I praised Butler at the time for letting him go for the obvious reasons of him being a threat to his job, guess Butler is so settled and so arrogant and conceited (which we’ve heard from his interviews) that he doesn’t feel he’s a threat anymore.1 user thanked author for this post.
