Interesting article on the OWS?
” If you are a confident, friendly, reliable and an excellent communicator and you want to work on matchdays at the Sands Venue Stadium then we want to hear from you.
The 50-50 Draw will be returning at the Exeter City game on September 11th and the club require sellers to be part of the matchday team.
Sellers will be required from 1.00pm until just after kick-off on Saturday fixtures with a flat fee paid per game.”1 user thanked author for this post.
“Let us look at the player judgement of Mr Cox – after 2 training sessions and a friendly he wanted KDT !!”
But Sanfran he’s realised that he’s made a mistake, he’s not continually picking KDT trying to prove himself right. If he’s got it wrong this time hopefully he’ll react the same way.
I refer you to my earlier post on this thread repeated below, it was ever thus:-

Big test for Cox this Saturday because, unlike in recent weeks, he has options and we won the last match. Who gets in out of Scrimshaw, Wood, Perry & Hackney and who misses out? Good luck Neil, if we lose then, as far as some Bruers are concerned, you’ll have picked the wrong team for sure!1 user thanked author for this post.
You’re right, nor if we’d won on Saturday.

Thanks Haysie.
Nothing, Cox has signed 2 players he believes are better. He can’t be blamed for that unless he’s proved wrong. IF he’s wrong and they are no better than Pugh he should only be blasted if he keeps picking them before Pugh anyway. He did say recently that Pugh was his first choice RB so room for all 3 you would think.

Get a grip Neil and let the other team worry about us for a change. Old school 2-3-5 on Saturday and see what they make of that!

I understand your frustration Sanfran but Cox’s reputation (such that it is) is at stake here. If Thompson is better than O’Malley then he must play, if he isn’t then why is he here. Similarly if Wood and Hackney are better than Pugh then they have to play or their signings are a massive mistake. Clearly Cox believes he needed better than he had, time will tell if he was right.

Our young’uns who have all done so well?
On the bench if they are lucky.
Older players, anyone here last year and loanees?

Several recent loanees have been bench warmers but that was because they weren’t good enough. I’ve said before that IMO loanees should be nailed on to start (Yates, Toney, Gabriel, Lansbury, Cork) otherwise the loan would seem pointless (Thomas, Miller, Liddle, Ugbo et al).

It looks possible(?) that Cox might be favouring a 5-3-2 set up in tha absence of quality wingers. He’s said, wrongly IMO, that Pugh is his first choice RB so, if we need 3 fit CMs every week then Kenyon, Perry, Beestin, Wood & Hackney looks OK. If Kenyon fails to improve then Pugh could supplement and, who knows, Hallam might be fit occasionally too.
Can’t remember the name of last years Middlesbrough loanee as he didn’t play much. Surely this one must be better.
Certainly looked harsh at first sight but, having seen the highlights, the Tranmere defender initially indicated his chest but then gave up. No mass protest from the rest suggesting they weren’t too unhappy. As you say, very disappointing had one like that gone against us. I’m sure one will, things like that tend to even out over a season.
I also remember Damian Henderson (from Scarborough I think) Manager Richard Money described him as “the best player of his type in the division” and he was right! Sadly his ‘type’ was absolute donkey.
Or transfer him to Coolsilk?

I thought we only had room for one before Scrimshaw came, I’m sure Cox said we needed to move one out to bring in the other he wanted. As WG said – how the hell do we shift KDT without paying him up. Is getting anybody else out on loan a possibility?
“The worst player we have ever signed” is cruel, inaccurate, unhelpful, confidence-destroying and a classic knee-jerk response.”
Only used nowadays by people too young to remember Tomi Ameobi les.

I think you’re right les, we’re talking about lower league players here not internationals. Keep it simple at the start and hopefully move upwards from there.

Looks like Perry & Scrimshaw isolating then. Could be worse, we could be Tranmere, 73% possession and no shots on target. Although 27% possession in a home game is not something I want to see very often (or ever again)

Not being a massive goal threat is not really a great recommendation for a striker, particularly a lone one. On the plus side he can’t have been anywhere near match fit, when did he last play?
Could be worse Barcelona have a £1.15 billion loss and theirs hasn’t been written off.
Has ours? Have I missed something?

Excerpt:- “There have also been comments regarding the cleanliness of seats. All of the seats were washed prior to the start of the season.”
If you use this as a benchmark for the validity of the entire content of the statement then the value becomes questionable. (Unless, of course, “prior to the start of the season” means July 2020)

No no NI, he wants the fans IN. It’s the customers he wants OUT.

les!!!!!!! He’s posted again but totally ignored you!! Very rude IMO.

Oh, WG. You know not what you say.
I know DH personally and many who have connections to him. I also knew his father.Was his father Lloyd George?
Nice try les. Your chances of an answer are slightly less than clean seats at GP.

However it appears, now they are here, they have their own ideas of how to play the game and have little interest in Cox’s ideas. Can’t entirely blame them but that’s not really how it should work is it?
