Correct. Look to win every game, we won’t but in this league, with the players we have, it’s worth a try. Just a question and my opinion of course, no need for thinly disguised abuse is there?
Thinly disguised abuse? Nonsense. Merely exasperated how some of you continue to criticise and nitpick even under the best ownership we’ve had for donkeys, top of the league having just won 6-0. Fine to suggest Butler isn’t brave, whinge about appointing a CEO like it’s unheard of by a football club and complain that anyone who shows some exasperation is abusing? Yeah, right.
No need to post 3 times to make a point surely.
Firstly I have not criticised the new owners, I think they’re doing a great job. I merely expressed an opinion which differs from yours.
Secondly I never accused Butler of not being brave, I asked a question.
Thirdly I did not whinge about appointing a CEO, I expressed an opinion that players would be my priority.
No nitpicking here just using the forum for what I assumed was its purpose.Forgot to mention, I thought their 21 was very good in a poor side.
T’other way round for me sadly. I never thought my team scoring would disappoint me but I went 5-0.

Still don’t like 3 CBs but what a difference it makes playing the WBs further forward, 2 up top and Beestin in MF. Shows much more attacking intent, is Butler brave enough to try it in away games?

His sideways and backwards are largely faultless. His pointing immaculate. His 1 shot is best forgotten.
Looks like Maxi’s taking one for the CB team.
Clearly not the one where they consider the merits of different formations?

So is ‘footballer’ – just stating my preference.

” I know we are under serious financial constraints and I understand why but prioritising a CEO over players I do not understand. ”
Haven’t we just spent the summer recruiting players?
So hardly prioritising a CEO is it?
We still have the spine of last year which failed us ,same pointless/pointing captain and ridiculous child up front . We cannot sack them and only have so much budget, thankfully a few overpaid players left .We could attempt to buy the league and fail like awaywego’s mate did and let the club rot.Summer recruitment provided 1 regular starter and, as you point out, we therefore have mainly last years first XI. If promotion is the aim (and we all hope it is) then do we have the players to achieve that, they didn’t last year. So it’s not hard to argue that additions are required to achieve that and we are told that funds are available, how many points will the CEO win us?

Never mind what he’s done before – can he play CB?
1 user thanked author for this post.
He will, his long throw is keeping him in the team.
OK, I admit it, I’m a grumpy old b****r. I reckon I’m entitled to be and I voice my opinions based on what I’m seeing. I get frustrated, occasionally angry, when I see the blindingly obvious seemingly invisible to those that count. I know we are under serious financial constraints and I understand why but prioritising a CEO over players I do not understand. I hope it’s not Jim, sorry James, Rodwell – surely we learnt from that fiasco. It seems we have a totally inflexible manager, inexperienced but seemingly unwilling to learn. He’s new, he’ll make mistakes but must learn from those. To be clear – I don’t want him gone, I really want him to succeed, the club needs it.

It’s not “close” though is it? Close is the next day or two otherwise why say anything. Not as if the fans are pushing for a new CEO, players on the other hand….
A couple of weeks ago we were close to appointing a new CEO, what happened there.

Yes “We’re still in a strong position”
BUT not as strong as the position we were in a few weeks ago.But if the computer says it’s time up then……….
“Chance to put things right against Farsley as we did against Rushall”
Somebody needs to point out to Andy that even if we win 10-0 against Farsley we still don’t get back the 3 points we threw away yesterday.4 users thanked author for this post.
It’s possible to set up not to concede and still get a couple of goals. Not sure how that makes a mockery of claiming to want to win every game. Every manager wants to win every game, but they’re not stupid enough to think they will. If he’d claimed he would then I would agree with you.
You’re right, setting up defensively could still sneak a win – but does it give him the best chance of doing so?
He was happy with the point at Chester, the one he set up to achieve. I would expect similar tomorrow making a mockery of his “I want to win every game” assertion.

Much better!! Not top notch but a big improvement.
FBs (sorry WBs) played further forward.
Passes quicker and more accurate (some notable exceptions)
More attacking intent with 2 forwards + Alfie.
Well done Andy.Moving in the right direction though.
Potential 3-4-3?
5 home and 5 away. Win all the home games and I’ll forgive him for setting up to draw away. BUT (sorry Andy) will he set up to win at home?

“Scoring goals is harder than stopping them.”
Especially if you have 7 defenders and 4 attackers.
Kai Corbett still not starting at Shots, unused sub. this week.
Butler is confusing me (and maybe himself)
He has said repeatedly in interviews “I want to win every game”
He then sets up in an over defensive manner and says, as above,”if you don’t concede you can’t lose”
On the other hand if you score 5 you’re unlikely to lose either, can we try that for a bit and see how it goes?1 user thanked author for this post.
I think the key is a back 4. Not really fussed what happens in front of that, 4-2,3-3 or even2-3-1. Just get a CB off and a more forward thinking player on.
Sent off recently, maybe suspended?
