Better still, if he’s recalled for the play offs and he ‘Prison Breaks’ us out of this league.
Didn’t work out so well for the last bloke to do that!
He’s only behind others by your account not by many other fans
This an observation, nothing to do with what I think, I don’t pick the team.
Well the club haven’t announced Howe as extended his loan spell like they did with Campbell the other day. Lol.
Can’t see why he would come back.
If we play 4-4-2 he’s behind Whitehall, Farrell, Dausch & Beestin.
If we play 4-3-3 (assuming Whitehall & Roberts are 2) then he’s behind Jones, Smith, Hurst & Beestin and Beestin can’t get a start. Probably struggle to make the bench.1 user thanked author for this post.
Yet they were still able to name a matchday squad of 17. The luxury of a big squad eh!!
Have they seen enough to be able to form a valid opinion?

March 15, 2026 at 12:02 pm in reply to: Abibliophobia On The Pros & Cons Of Promotion – Do You Want Promotion? #317565A complete squad overhaul is needed whichever division we’re in Rene.
Are you sure? Who have we got now (or could keep) who looks good enough for L2?
An opinion only, hopefully for sensible discussion.
Definite:-
Horton, Rowley, Westbrooke, Roberts, P.Jones, Beestin, Rose
Possible:-
Evans, Denton, JB, Whitehall, SmithWhich I reckon makes over half a squad. Sensible recruitment, definitely, but complete overhaul unnecessary.
Rode our luck as they missed at least one absolute sitter
A fine example of why Dec is doing well there?
It’s well known that people have different views on the same game. I thought there was some improvement in the passing, not great and much more improvement is necessary if we’re to succeed. Altrincham’s passing was much sharper. What impressed me most was the intensity with which we stared the game after weeks of strolling through the first half (and sometimes the second) We didn’t deserve to be behind at the break but were lucky it wasn’t 2-0, right result in the end and we needed it. Thanks Alfie!!

Interesting selection, possible 4-4-2 ?
You’ve clearly got a downer on Smith and I suppose it’s understandable based on recent efforts. Possibly you didn’t see him when he was here before but he was class and I’m sure we’ll see that again, sooner rather than later I hope.

Yes, to balance the left footed Roberts on the right. Cut inside and shoot with your strong foot must be the orders.
L’m not looking ahead, I’m looking behind.
Sutton, Solihull, York, Boston.1 user thanked author for this post.
This pitch situation is puzzling me. Our pitch is terrible, we all agree on that, probably unique in the league in its condition. We play on it regularly, for the opposition it’s a one off. So why is it not proving to be the massive advantage that it should be? Have our players decided that they are such good footballers that they can’t possibly play on it?

Smith hasn’t become a bad player. Lacking form, fitness. confidence maybe all three but still a top signing IMO.
£1 for the pitch and a fiver for yourself?
1 user thanked author for this post.
He still managed to score with little or no service.

WRETCHED!
Play like this in the 2nd half and we’ll lose against one of the poorest sides we have seen!Buy a lottery ticket les.
Absolutely terrible, “not us” (again) will. no doubt, be included in AB’s post match. Sadly it’s very much us lately.
WHEN WILL WE SORT OUT OUR PASSING!!!!!!!!1 user thanked author for this post.
Maybe, if he’s got enough wingers, he’ll stop playing non wingers there.
Might be controversial but I’d start the same team. I rate Smith and can’t wait for him to hit the form we know he’s capable of. Farrell to relieve Danny when he’s had enough or when the game’s safe (6-0 with 10 minutes left)
It’ll be interesting to see what the Sutton boss does after a home thrashing by a team below them.
Does he make loads of changes (if he has the players to do that) or continue to pick his “best” players and hope Saturday was a one off?
Who’d be a football manager eh!1 user thanked author for this post.
I see Bob covers Iron matches for the NL paper. Never anything in GT/ST on line though. Can’t believe they’re still banned from GP so is it that they can’t be bothered with NL teams or do I have to buy a paper?

Better than Shep!!!!! You must be a youngster.
March 8, 2026 at 2:51 pm in reply to: Howe Can We Not Integrate A Proven Goalscorer In To Our Team? #317228We all know there is more to the Howe story.
If Carlton Uba.. had gone out on loan that would be fine.
Pardon me AB but if Howe had an attitude, i have never noticed it in all the great games he played for the iron, and put 100% effort in.AB said Howe wanted to go out on loan to play games that he couldm’t guarantee. I don’t recall him ever questioning Howe’s attitude, that seems to have come, unsubstantiated, from anti-Butler s***stirrers.
1 user thanked author for this post.
I think we all (bar one) accept him for what he is. I, for one, am much happier he’s playing with rather than against us and his scoring record speaks for itself.
March 8, 2026 at 10:27 am in reply to: Howe Can We Not Integrate A Proven Goalscorer In To Our Team? #317213Also AB makes a valid point about Howe taking points off other teams.
DISCLAIMER
I did earlier post my exit to this forum due to plan of retirement in the middle East .. alas Trump etc have derailed this so moved back to my Thai home. Apologies to all Bru members who were pleased to see the back of me.
Well I’m glad you’re back but, as a very happy retiree, I’m sorry that Trump has messed yours up.
2-3 new signings said AB recently. Another rabbit out of the hat tomorrow?
