Not yet confirmed as fact as reported:-
“The controversial Nottingham businessman, David Hilton – former owner of Scunthorpe United and one-time chairman of Ilkeston Town – is rumoured to be the unnamed backer of Matlock Town.”

It’s OK. The new investor has passed the fit and proper persons test.

If it is WHAM, then passing this test again after what happened here will need serious questions asking about the system. Unbelievable Jeff!!

Similar situation for Beck & Elliott IMO, failed to play to their strengths in both cases.

Time yet to sort the thoroughbreds from the donkeys?

Absolutely 64, many/most of the opposition players will be putting in 30+ hours Monday to Friday doing a proper job. Schedule should work in our favour.

Might have been more if Nicholson hadn’t gone, every defender we have got on.

Wide players – Rfooter on the right, Lfooter on the left = crosses for big man
Rfooter on the left, L footer on the right = cut in and shoot
Will Cal & Mo switch at any time and give Beck a chance?

[cassidystash]

I think Butler said that Boycie’s suspension doesn’t start until after today.
If Beck doesn’t start when Whitehall is unavailable then questions will rightly be asked about his signing. Having said that a front 3 of Roberts, Beestin & Fadera might work.

[cassidystash]

Too early for that surely, AWG, after a handful of NLN games.

I hope so. Carlton’s completely fell out of favour. I wonder if he’s to sign along with the RB Butler said is joining after spending last 5 weeks on trial ?

After Tuesdays match Butler said the RB deal would be done “tomorrow”. Both parties have had 5 weeks to sort this out, are one or both not sure it’s right?

[cassidystash]

“Boston United winger Sam Osborne has departed the Jakemans Community Stadium by mutual consent. The 26-year-old, who scored five goals in 26 appearances, is poised to sign for a club in National League North.”

Any connection?

New manager appointed.

[cassidystash]

For me the big turning point was when he began to learn. He had success with his preferred system initially and seemed determined to stick with it when it stopped working. He was totally inflexible at that time and dug his heels in in response to (valid) criticism. At some point, for whatever reason, he realised that there were other ways to play football. We now have a starting line up that better suits the players, together with a willingness and ability to change that as necessary. He’s far from the finished article but if he continues to learn he could get there.
Here’s hoping UTI.

No, it would take 5 or 6 games before we stopped lumping it upfield expecting to win headers.

[cassidystash]

Stop sitting on the fence!! Do you rate him or not?

Rene for ‘best thread title of the year’ award btw. Total BS that festival goers want a muddy field mind. Nothing could be further from the truth

Unlikely to be pipped for “longest” thread of the year title but a nailed on certainty for longest OP of the year (decade/century)

CEOs idea?

[cassidystash]

Presumably a 2 year contract can be offered with each “year” being 44 weeks leaving time for the fruit picking and a holiday. Still need to sort play off provisions though, 46 weeks might do it.

[cassidystash]

Are the initials of Francis indicative of what he actually knows?

[cassidystash]

Bruers could turn out if it’s walking only. Barrie can be captain.
Makes finishing top even more important!
(Note – should be OK this season, sounds like July to April will be new deals. Need to include a contingency for future play offs though.)

[cassidystash]

Our last game 26th April, surely can’t complete play offs in 4 days.

[cassidystash]

Could be tricky, aren’t play offs usually in May?

[cassidystash]

Carson Wishart (approx.) pushes him close for that award. Luckily he seems to have disappeared.

[cassidystash]

Listen to Andy instead – they’ll be tough opponents. Good players, well managed etc.

[cassidystash]

I can’t answer either question as I don’t have your insider knowledge.

I tried joining up to see what all the fuss was about. They refused my application.

[cassidystash]

They’ll be on good money until June, why would they move for less money before then?

Or is it Woerrington?
Last time they scored more than 1 goal in a game was October 21st. A 2-2 draw.
The most they’ve scored in a game this season is two goals – which has occurred 4 times.They’ve failed to score in 11 of their games.A solitary goal scored in 16 of their games.Just 2 goals scored in the last six games.
Warrington 0-3 Scunthorpe
Possibly even 0-4.

Remember this Rene?
