Because he was crap and barely showed an ounce of interest.

…as we really lost 2 points on Saturday due to the ref and the red card
I’d put Fitzsimmons above those two. No way that 1st goal should be getting past him!

Spot on review of the game Cliff. Looking forward to seeing a replay of Denton’s goal…one of those you knew was flying in as soon as it left his foot!

“You wouldn’t believe what we have to provide. They forced us to put 8 stewards in the Mortz stand and have 52 in total against Burton when the Mortz stand was closed and we had 1200 fans with only 32 away. If we don’t do what they say they pull the safety certificate and force us to play behind closed doors. My patience has ran out with the authority regarding these issues and it will be sorted very quickly. They can’t insist we provide as many stewards for Peterborough sports as we did against Newcastle in the championship with 9000 in and 3000 away.
Over 50 stewards today.Yes if this insist on police we have to do as they say. £21,000 was spent on stewards and policing last season at home to Oldham causing the club to literally lose money on a home fixture. How does a club stay sustainable or compete when your own local authority are insisting on such measures”

Hilton/White has confirmed we’re currently under restrictions from SAG. Taken from FB:
“We are governed by a safety certificate issued by the council which stipulates the amount of stewards and medical staff for each stand. Due to the levels of stewarding available and allocated to the DRE stand along with a large number of sales before kick off we reached the stands capacity due to the amount of stewards. We had no alternative but to offer a handful of supporters buying last minute tickets an alternate area to watch the game. Tickets are always subject to availability and I cannot risk the clubs safety certificate or being imposed with sanctions including financial. Supporters are advised to get tickets early and purchase group tickets together.
We cannot relocate stewards leaving other areas short on match day as risk assessments have to be signed off prior to match day. It was a handful of late entries only that were affected
My apologies for any inconvenience but due to a shortage of paid stewards we have to outsource extra security costing the club far more to satisfy the council. I am insistent that the local authorities and SAGS demands of our club are ludicrous and haven’t changed since the championship days. We are meeting with SAG again this week in they hope they start to understand the level we are at.
I’m hopeful that the ridiculous requirements being insisted upon by SAG that are financially crippling our club are amended imminently. There seems to be no logic or common sense.
Anybody with a ticket should have been allowed entry. Clearly my staff are falling foul of the complicated issues being forced upon us by the authority. It will stop you have my word.”

If you’ve paid for something on the premise of being entered into a prize draw which then never materialises, surely the Gambling Commission may have something to say about that?

Just a couple I can think of off the top of my head from recent memory:
Gary Hooper vs Leeds
Izzy Iriekpen vs Charlton
Jacob Butterfield vs Yeovil
Andrew Boyce vs Yeovil (2nd spell)
Ryan Loft vs Swindon
Billy Sharp vs Forest
Leon Clarke vs Sheffield United
Sam Winnall vs Mansfield
Matty Sparrow vs Mansfield (2nd spell)
KVV vs Swindon
Charlie Goode vs Burton
Josh Morris vs Bristol RoversI’ll have a lie down now…

Yeah points away from home against bottom of the league are brilliant, especially when we’ve won once away from home in 37 or whatever it is games now. It’s going to have to be a team terrible beyond words for us to actually pick up 3 points off of them!

Will we win away from home ever again?
If we can’t beat the team bottom of the league who ship goals for fun then probably not!

1 in 2 strike rate so far this season, only 5 players in the league have scored more. His hold up play has been much better and most attacks go through him. He ain’t doing too bad for me.

Whether you like him or not, if we’re selling our top scorer less than a quarter of the way into the season to a league rival then the only take away is…shambles!

Got to back it up with a performance at Torquay. If not and we lose to bottom of the league (again!) then it’s very much back to square one!

Good riddance, nepotism at its finest (despite whatever Neil Cox might tell you)!

Crozzer? Why would a current League 1 assistant manager come to a sinking ship in the National League?
