Bit like all that guff that’s thrown out, if you told me we’d be in the playoff position at the beginning of the season I’d have snapped your hand off.
Once in front against ten men a draw can’t be acceptable no matter how you spin it.3 users thanked author for this post.
Why, why, why did Butler make the subs on 92 minutes when scunthorpe had the momentum, we were 3:2 up, he did Solihull a favour as the game turned their way, after our subs. The man is clueless as a manager, and he messed results up before by crazy unnecessary subs. The man is too stubborn, will not admit his mistakes and never learns.
as Awaywego, said a draw at home is not good enough, not acceptable.
3rd place must be beyond us now…1 user thanked author for this post.
Any correlation between Butler substitution bingo and conceding late goals?
Nah, pure coincidence surely.
This is the most infuriating part of Butler’s game, cost us around 17 points from 85mins onwards. What possible benefit do we gain from resting a player for 4 minutes? Changing players, sit deeper invite them on and with one of the worst defences in the league currently (in th country on current Goals conceded). It’s madness. You wouldn’t do it in under 11’s that’s for sure.
Just try and learn from it because you’ve got this badly wrong.

The subs weren’t the issue – as soon as we took the lead the all the players ‘declared’ just sat back and assumed Solihull had given up. Suddenly Whitehall is tired and stopped running, midfield didn’t make a tackle, defenders do what they best at present stand a stare.
It was a poor ending from professionals!
Positives were Farrell – he had good ball control and could go past a man
Whitehall focused on football. (The red was for Solihull was deserved)
Ewing was back to making tackles again and getting around the pitch
Roberts showed he really is class – give him the contract he wants, if we have genuine ambition.Just listened to AB’s post match.
“The first half wasn’t us”
Look at recent games Andy, that first half was exactly us. Don’t kid yourself.2 users thanked author for this post.
I heard AB’s post match, and he stubbornly, rather than admit his subs cost us the game, made sure evryone knew the players were injured and needed a long 6 minute rest, so they could sit comfortably and watch Solihull equalise.
Some of those words are mine not from AB !
A lot in the coffin dodgers stand screamed no subs Butler, just leave it, so AB makes sure he is squeaky clean in his interview, defending the subs.
BUTLER SUNSTITUTION BINGO strikes again and it will continue..1 user thanked author for this post.

“The first half wasn’t us”
Look at recent games Andy, that first half was exactly us. Don’t kid yourself.So was the best of the second half performance not the real ‘us’? He can’t do right for doing wrong it seems.
I didn’t mention the second half. I was merely pointing out that AB’s quote suggested that, in his view, the first half performance was a one off. It certainly wasn’t and if he thinks otherwise he’ll pass it off as “just a blip”, recent matches confirm it’s more than that. It needs sorting and he’s the only man that can do it.

Re: late substitutions.
“Generally30 seconds is added to stoppage time for each individual substitution made during a football match, according to BBC Sport and RefChat. If multiple substitutions occur during the same stoppage, it is counted as one opportunity, although the referee may add extra time if the process takes longer, notes TheFA.com.
Standard Rule: 30 seconds per substitution.
Contextual Time: If a player takes too long to leave the pitch, the referee can add more time.
Multiple Substitutions: Multiple substitutions by a team during the same stoppage count as one, but the referee will account for the total time lost.”
So basically, the more substitutions you make the more time you give the opposition to score.
Conversely it gives you more time to score too. But if you’re taking off your forwards and replacing them with defenders that would seem less likely”

Was that in another interview Cass? In the one with Humberside that I posted he said ‘first half we were miles off it…’ and then proceded to explain why in great detail.
SUFC official Deerey, haven’t listened to the Humberside yet.

I thought both new signings did OK considering they had just joined the club but did we need another left back,we need a new centre half and all the comments made previously about the York game,they played Morecambe yesterday and won 1-0 and scored in the ninth minute of stoppage time.Again it shows how poor we are defenceably

I’ll have a listen, thanks. The Humberside one is worth a listen.

So after a sleep the cold facts are :
Feb 8TH 3rd in form table 16 points from 18
Mar 1st Bottom in table 2 points from 18Home gate FEB 7th 5298
Home gate FEB 28th 4230 – That shows a drop of 1068 in a month !After all that work to get fans in that support is being treated with arrogance.
Why is it that in the majority of comments a common theme is lethargic passing and over elaboration as the passes go nowhere.
1 user thanked author for this post.
Whilst we’re on passing again, what was Barrows success rate yesterday? 1 from 30 or so aimless punts down the right touchline. Sorry to pick on Ross, passing was abysmal overall, but he was the one that seemed to stand out as they were all so similar.
If you want truth on a forum only Bru will do.

I posted a few comments on this thread without mentioning Farrell who I thought was excellent on his debut and gives me optimism (a bit) for the coming games where I’d hope to see him more involved.
(Not sure how keen Danny will be as Farrell got the Iron Bar MOM. Maybe if you’d nailed that header and got 4 in a 4-3 win you might just have edged it Danny!!)2 users thanked author for this post.
