‘The defence looked all at odds a couple of times’.
I’m intrigued by this point Apollo as, according to Stuart Maw, the defence looked ‘solid and composed’
Would you say apart from those couple of times, it was okay?. Or is ‘strong and composed’ over positivity talking?
Perhaps I am being slightly pessimistic or am harder to please? Or perhaps what Maw says is PD wristband talk?

After the Chesterfield game, Andy Butler has a lot of thinking to do as to his starting Squad , let alone starting XI! IMHO I think only Callum Howe, Whitehall, Evan’s and Rowley are nailed on starters, probably Pat Jones as well. The other spots are all up for grabs and will depend very much on who suits his formation. I pray it’s not 5 at the back. I’ve seen no evidence so far of decent wing back play!
I thought Rowley had a surprisingly quiet game, didn’t seem as effective as “usual”. There wasn’t too much going on in the midfield – but I would not say Ewing was a miss, at all, nor Westbrooke. We looked good going forward when Pat Jones had his dander up. The defence looked all at odds a couple of times. Howe’s experience combined with Evans’ power could be key.

I have also asked several questions to the Trust and received no answers infact been made to feel by the replies I have got that I am the only person to be complaining about what’s happened.
The Trust seems to be top down organisation with the Members not being involved in any decisions on major issues.
I joined the a trust to buy shares to give fans hopefully a voice in the Club not build statues that I and other Members apart from I presume the Committee knew nothing about.It has lost its way.

I would be interested to know how many members were asked about building a statue / now down graded to a memorial prior to the go fund me was started.
I have been a member since the beginning and I certainly was not asked my opinion.

I thought we looked solid enough for NL level but a little bit ordinary, until the changes which meant Smith and Jones were on the flanks. Really impressed by Jones, could be absolutely key this season, and Smith looked leaner, fitter and sharper than last season.

The deal with Meyba has been a total and utter disaster. What a legacy for Matt Roberts.

The decision to move away from Kelme was driven by the club’s desire to secure a “bespoke, community-focused kit design and a specialised terrace culture fashion range.
Is “the decision to move away from Kelme was driven by the club’s desire to secure a bespoke, community-focused kit design and a specialised terrace culture fashion range” actually a euphemism for “Matt Roberts was trying to impress his new employers so, with an attitude of ‘f*ck loyalty’, set-up a deal away from a supplier that had actually done the club some favours when things were at their most turbulent” ..?

It is completely unacceptable from the Trust it clearly isn’t Democratic.
I’m a member and the first I heard was when they’d already started a gofundme collection, then they’ve donated £500 from Trust funds.Edit : they’ve donated £500 in the name of the trust, I don’t know where the money came from.
It really boils my piss, the way the Trust has behaved. I’ve completely lost faith in it over this. You’d think with a well-known Union bloke in the mix, at the moment, there’d be some self-awareness about the importance of taking this particular (and particularly emotional) issue to the membership. It’s an absolute disgrace.

Bryan Gosling of the Trust on X claiming that: “ people need to realise that this statue is for KEVIN KEEGAN, not for the iron trust, the iron trust have just voiced this idea from its members “
Oh really? Which members?
If actually any, why not all?
Been thinking more about this. It’s completely unacceptable from the Trust.

But the Mullin wannabe is a hero because he scored a lot of goals for us? Or used to. I’d prefer him to be moved on and sign a striker with a less cynical approach to the game.
He’s a character, good to have around the club. I like him, though his shithouse on the pitch antics do sometimes frustrate me. Particularly when it’s clear to see he’s a really good footballer. Some of the close skills and the instinct for a clever pass put him a step ahead in terms of seeing the game, and when he’s ‘on’ with those things he slightly reminds me of Hayes. He has one year left on his contract, but I don’t think he’ll be here next time round.

That’s politicians for you. The Trump way, don’t consult just do what you want and don’t expect your actions to be questioned.
I expected much much more from the custodians of the Trust. What a letdown.

The trust jumped the gun when there was no need to, time for a rethink and poll their members on what they would like if anything, and with the agreement that is acceptable to the club on their land or property.
Still in favour of Keegan’s bar and a simple memorial for all somewhere.Completely agree the Trust have jumped the gun with this. Not how you would expect the organisation to behave, with the bigwigs forcing the statue idea with fait accompli announcements and radio appearances. Gozza and co riding roughshod over their membership.
