Agree with Ferrite, we don’t need more long term injuries due to “too much too soon”. We have to make use of this inflated squad without weakening the team too much. I don’t think Tues/Sat/Tues/Sat is feasible even for fully fit pro footballers. (Keepers aside maybe) KVV on the bench ready for 20 minutes if we have a chance of getting something from the game and ready to start on Saturday.

Always thought it was strange that KK never showed the same level of support that Ray & Ian did. Has his reasons I suppose.
Sad to lose Ray, a true gent indeed.

12 (yes 12) shots barton – time for a glass of something and a lie down?

[cassidystash]

It’s an easy game really:-
Best players in
Best positions using
A simple system they all understand and are suited to.
More of the same please.

[cassidystash]

Our last 8 or 9 keepers have shown no desire to leave their line, even those that did so when they arrived. Spot the common denominator.

[cassidystash]

Looks the business, let’s hope it gives us the result we all want. Come on boys!!!!!!!!!! UTI.

I think you’re being a bit harsh on some of these lads WG. Loft scored one absolute blinder and another decent finish so he’s got some ability and Cox has seen much more of Hippolyte than we have. Regarding Turan, don’t forget how long it took KVV before he showed what he could do. No guarantees they’ll make the grade but I think it would be wise to give them a bit longer before we give up.

When I saw the title I thought he was going to tell us how much it had cost to dismiss each manager.

Injured Walt.

Assuming sufficient levels of fitness how about:-
Howard
Rowe Onariase Bedeau Brown
Spence Taylor
Gillead McAtee Hallam
KVV

It’s Radio Hullberside, why would you expect anything else?

Better than signing another player or sacking another manager which seem to be the other options being suggested?
Also, it gets him out of centre back where he’s not been great. Sometimes a player’s given position is not his best position.

So Watson up front then?

” it is up to the Chairman to appoint someone that can do the job, he does not do this.”

Depends on what you think ‘the job’ is barton. If the job is to do as you’re told and do your best with the players you’re given then he seems to be getting it right.

Has there ever been a more pointless match?

Result might be meaningless but being able to give match time to players that need it is a great opportunity for us to prepare for Saturday. Another steady 30-40 minutes for KVV could set him up for a start against Oldham for instance.

No judgement for today. Was poor but reasonably no one could expect anything else.
Pointless game today and pointless game Tuesday. Neither game matters.
Get as many minutes as possible safely into the players that need them and start again from Saturday.

Agree almost 100% (Yesterdays game was worth £20K so it mattered a bit)
Still think our “best” eleven played in a “proper” formation will be good enough to get us through this if we can get them all on the pitch together on a regular basis.

[cassidystash]

Crikey!!! Not like WG to misunderstand a post.
Thanks for clarifying SST.

[cassidystash]

Sacking half a dozen players would make more sense.

[cassidystash]

Do we have a nominated penalty taker on the off chance that we get one? Can’t remember having one since Josh Morris left!

[cassidystash]

Thanks I-a. Worked for Blair, will it work for us?

[cassidystash]

Not in danger at the minute IMO. He’s been dealt a sh1t hand but must have known that before he accepted the job. Given a box of 30 Lego bricks, all from different sets, and told to make something that resembles a football team from the oddments.
Who sang “Things Can Only Get Better”? Let’s hope they were right.

[cassidystash]

No need for the doc. Just have another dose of what you’ve already taken!

[cassidystash]

Well Barks, Shrimpton and Jessop are back and probably fitter than the rest.

[cassidystash]

You’re expecting the fans to be kept informed? That would need a change of heart!!

[cassidystash]

As a ‘keeper he’ll still be approaching his peak though won’t he?

[cassidystash]

” We don’t need more players we just needed the right players picked by the right type of person in the first place.”

Spot on, out of the 30+ we have there are probably 7 or 8 that won’t figure in the match day squad unless we’re devastated by injury or Covid. Also some of those that make the squad will just be there to make up the numbers with little hope of getting on the pitch. A harsh assessment? Maybe but a genuine opinion nonetheless.

[cassidystash]

I think that’s probably right. Hard to see any signings with all the uncertainty, we have 30+ players and signing any more who might never get on the pitch looks unlikely IMO.

[cassidystash]

I’d guess it’s Sunday as that will be after the 14 day quarantine period ends, as for 12.00…. no idea.

[cassidystash]

But shorter, if we want somebody for KVV, McAtee etc to play off then it’s not Olomola.
