Financially, what difference is there between the NL and the NLN? On the field, whether we are promoted or not, I imagine the vast majority of this squad will either have to leave or have contracts renegotiated.

Just had a quick flick back and it would seem that contracted for next season are:-
Whitehall, Kelly, Fitzsimons, Kouogan, Roberts and Law.
Of the others I’d be happy to see 10 leave but hope an agreement (reduction) can be reached with at least some of the others.

Not much comment about bias IMO, now ineptitude is another matter.

Won’t this just lead to more time wasting tactics when a team is down to 10 for 5 or 10 minutes?

[cassidystash]

Theirs for a nominal fee?

Ridiculous!!

With Smith and Law supporting Whitehall and both being on the’wrong’ side they are always likely to cut inside and shoot rather than put a cross into the box, clearly JD’s plan. With no wide MFs any crosses are likely to come from FB. Denton’s crosses have a tendency to go straight into the net (good) and so meaningful delivery from wide will always be limited. Slide rule passes from Butters on the deck are unlikely to stick to Whitehall IMO.

Asked for repayment of loan from Hilton (who wouldn’t) but no indication that he is pressing for repayment currently. Directors bring different things to the board (skills in marketing, legal knowledge, business acumen etc) but also, of course, money, much needed by most clubs, especially ours at the moment. I doubt there is a long queue of people waiting to ‘invest’ in The Iron, be grateful for those that are.

Scunny boy?
Scunny supporter?
Have you got nothing better to say, you clearly have issues with both Ian Sharp and Simon Elliott. Jealousy maybe?

If Carver and Bennett are doing so well at Southport then why aren’t they with us.Those two have got to be better than Whitehall (who is a joke) and Elliott

A comment that suggests to me that you haven’t seen Carver and Bennett play for Scunny.

[cassidystash]

A reasonable performance on most of the pitch although we gave the ball away too often with wayward (simple) passes. However absolutely dire in both penalty areas. Plenty of shots on target but, with the exception of the goal, all straight at the keeper, should have been another 6. Defensively frightening, better finishers would have buried us, even Carver and Bennett would have scored I reckon.

[cassidystash]

Some players might find that a reduced wage at GP is still competitive in NL or NLN.
Depends how deep the cut is. I suppose we can discount loyalty as a reason for staying.

Anybody in Saudi want him? Hope he’s not playing CIH somewhere.

[cassidystash]

I seem to remember that some/many/most were signed on 1 year deals and I think Butterfield will be OOC in the summer.

[cassidystash]

A chance they will prioritise the NL and see this as a distraction?

[cassidystash]

1. I do not understand why not picking your best players is a good idea.
2. Why is my opinion irrelevant? Yours is not the only one possible.
3. “Yet another dig”? Please clarify.

He’s a better chance of getting an answer if he asks the right people.

[cassidystash]

Picking a system and then fitting players into it has been seen too often and absolutely slated on here, square pegs/round holes. I’m still a firm believer in picking your best players and then playing a system that suits them. Does that make it clear?

You absolutely baffle me sometimes!! A couple of weeks ago you wrote this:-
“Smith MOM for me. I thought he was sensational again and looks way above this level.”
And now you don’t want to pick him!!

We can only have 5, He came off the bench in the previous match and did nothing to suggest he should be picked in front of a fully fit Elliott.
(Mind you, he might have scored one or both of the Elliott chances last night had he been in the right place.)

[cassidystash]

We have a degree of consistency, we consistently fail to perform against teams set up to frustrate us.

[cassidystash]

Once again mugged by a team lacking skill but overflowing with effort, how many more times can we afford that? Nobody worth more than a 5 and several 4s tonight, very disappointing.
Question:-
If Butterfield is surrounded by 3 players everytime he gets the ball that surely means we have 2 unmarked, where were they?

Barrows stepped in effortlessly

People will hate me for what I’m about to type but Barrows is an improvement on Ogle. I like Ogle as he’s tough who never stops running but Barrows is the better footballer.

Absolutely no reason to hate you just because your opinion differs from mine. However doubts about your sanity are a different matter entirely. Ogle has proved his quality over a season and a bit, (POY awards?) Barrows has had a couple of decent games.

In my case it’s appreciation not adulation and certainly not canonisation.

He’s brought in significant advertising revenue over the years. If he doesn’t have spare cash to put in (and I guess not many do) then he’s doing what he can to help the Club. Can’t see why his contribution seems to upset one or two.
