    Take a look at the table, Curzon 2 pts ahead 2 games in hand, 3 teams below us have a game in hand, if they win them we will be in 7th place.

    Take a closer look and it’s actually worse than that! There are 6 teams below us that if they win their games in hand will be ahead of us (although I haven’t bothered to look if any of those games are against each other).

    The excuse why Brogan was benched was because he’d played two games!!

    Straight swap for Clunan.

    I had to chuckle at this remark too. And the reasoning that we struggled to create chances because Alfreton had a long throw! He’s lost the plot.

    Hoofball up to three forwards, none of whom are wingers and none of whom are forwards that are going to run in behind and play on the shoulder of the last defender. So even if Beck does win his headers, who’s running on to them!?

    A baffling formation which is even more baffling with the players asked to play in said formation. Butler has last the plot!

    Awful, awful, awful. Teams win their games in hand and we could be down to 9th (yes they won’t win them all but we can barely register a shot on target so won’t be picking up many points any time soon either!).

    Butler out.

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

    Scored 16 in this division last season, more than anyone in our squad bar Whitehall.

    You wouldn’t know which team were 1st vs 15th in league before the game kicked off…and if anything you would have went for Darlington being top going on the performance so far.

    Fitz keeping us in it!

    Have been of the opinion that calls for him to go this early in the season were a bit premature. I’ve now changed my mind.

    If he gets 10 I’d be delighted.
    !5 from Whitehall, 15 Roberts, 10 Williams, 10 Carlton and 20 from everybody else and we should be OK.

    We scored 84 last season, the most in the league, and our three top scorers were:
    Whitehall (21)
    Elliott (11)
    Butterfield (8)

    Asking four/five players to hit double figures is a bit of stretch!

    Signing Beck screams 4-4-2, alongside Whitehall up top with Roberts and Carlton playing in their correct effective positions on the wings with Beestin and Williams in midfield. Clunan bench warming and the defence is a lottery anyway with the amount of recent defensive mistakes. Hopefully we would be more on the front foot with this formation and the defence might benefit from not being under quite so much self inflicted pressure. Go on Butler give it a go, can’t be any worse than recent performances surely?

    A central midfield of Beestin and Williams (two predominantly very attacking midfielders) would be carved open like a hot knife through butter!

    Think he’s actually the type of player we need and have been missing since Connor Smith went back up North.

    If he’s fit and half the player he was when first here then it’s a fine signing imo, especially being on non-contract terms with no real risk.

    The big question is where does he fit into this turgid Butler formation!?

    He scored no important goals? You’re talking absolute nonsense.

    2-2 vs Boston. Scored both.
    1-1 vs Blyth. Scored our only goal.
    2-1 vs Gloucester. Scored the equaliser.
    1-1 vs Chorley. Scored our only goal.
    2-2 vs Alfreton. Scored our 2nd.
    2-0 vs Rushall. Scored our opener in the 90th minute.

    All I know is that he scored a fair few important goals for us last season. If we’re to play 2 up top then it needs to be Whitehall plus someone new (Carlton is no striker and neither is Beestin. Also haven’t seen anything from Fish to suggest he can play alongside Whitehall).

    After 12 games last season under Dean we had 20 points. This season under Butler we have 25 whilst only conceding a whopping total of 5 goals.

    I know which start I’d rather have!

    We will not be top of the table at 5pm!

    Next time put a couple of extra exclamation marks, it might come true then.

    How can you say this with such conviction? Unless Chester win by a four goal margin we can lose and still be top come the end of the day.

    We created a lot of chances, but conceded a fair few too…defence was way too exposed for my liking.

    Passing was atrocious, seriously school boy stuff! And a shame their keeper managed to pull off a world class save at the end.

    Definitely room for improvement and we rode our luck at times, but we would have dropped points in that type of game last season.

    The signs of a successful season are there though, especially after breaking the curse of the North East and now the Curzon hoodoo!

    Not sure if the above post is tongue in cheek, but I’m fairly sure that Whitehall’s reply was directly in response to Fitz saying his ‘ick’ was players wearing their socks at ankle height (which Whitehall does).

    The back three is looking particularly strong, and what a signing Nicholson is turning out to be.

    It’s not being mentioned much that we’ve only conceded 1 goal in over 600 minutes of football…that is rather impressive!

    Hill definitely the worst for me in my lifetime. Hurst was also terrible, if you look back now at the squad he had there’s no way we should have been languishing at the bottom end of League 2 during that time.
