It was the manner of the defeat has sent alarm bells ringing for supporters. He showed no tactical nous to switch things up when every man and his dog was screaming for wingers; The post match interview was worrying too.
I imagine He’ll be backed by supporters for the short term but don’t expect people to pay £22 and not moan when served up with that yesterday.

Don’t know where to start after that, Absolutely dire from start to finish.
The players had no idea what to do today other than play 10 yard passes across the backline. No wingers eventhough the game was crying out for them and no sense of urgency at all to create anything. We are virtually relegated after the last 3 games and we still have 4 players defending against a lone striker when the opposition had 10 men.
Additionally 11 men in the box defending a corner and the crowd having to tell the manager to leave one up front? Cmon FFS this is basics we are talking about.
Really pissed off with that today; I had no expectations of survival when we were taken over and came to terms with relegation a long time ago. But, today was not acceptable.
The responses on the usually toxic Twitter show what high esteem he is held in by Iron fans. Deserved

Definitely the 2 worst sides in the league on show tonight- shocking game of football.
We just can’t dictate a game at all- barring a nice 10 minute spell in the 2nd half it was all pedestrian again with no real urgency to create chances; Ogle being the exception.

Very early days but I like what I’ve seen and heard from him. The only thing I’m not keen on is the continuation of a scatter gun approach to transfers although I’m not sure how much of that is down to Dean.

FAQ now up on the official website.
I’m interested to know where the money will go once raised. Hilton has mentioned about developing the land around the ground, but even some vague plans would be nice and maybe encourage others to invest.
Think I will invest Once a copy of the lease is released and Coolsilk are completely out of the equation

Wasn’t down to a lack of effort yesterday, poor set up and just poor individual performances.
Expect 4/5 changes for Maidstone. I’d be tempted with:
Chapman
Ogle
Smith
Richards
LeakeFeeney
Pugh/Bunker
Whitehouse

Still waiting for clarification on lots of things, but if everything adds up then some friends and I will be looking to purchase a share as a group; is there anyone looking else to do this and if so, how will they go about it ?

Biggest compliment I can give
The team is I feel disappointed we haven’t got a point there.2 users thanked author for this post.
Basically playing a league one team so it’s a cup tie in essence. Might aswell have a go because you don’t sit back and keep Wrexham out for 90mins.
Nearly 200 tickets sold too so far which is a good effort considering where we are and on a Tuesday night.

The marquee has been a welcome addition to creating a better all round match day atmosphere. As you mention, it encourages people to come down earlier and spend money.
What Hilton needs to be looking at is expanding on this, not taking away. The iron bar isn’t fit for purpose, in an ideal world it would be knocked down and a more adequate replacement built; Fleetwood’s bar is the best example I’ve seen in lower league football.
If not, Can we take away the car parking spaces directly behind the DRE and expand the area where fans can gather, a couple of bottled beer bars and another food outlet would do a roaring trade.
Additionally I thought that the fenced off area near Debenhams was proposed as fans zone ?

Don’t get bored of saying it: Butterfield is just head and shoulders above everyone else on the field
Some really good individual performances today; turned into a scrappy affair in the second half but when we got it down and played we looked like a ‘proper’ team.
Still think it’s a huge ask but we’ve given ourselves a chance

We managed to blag our way into the away end at Harrogate a couple of years ago without away tickets as it sold out.
Karma was a bitch that day.

I hope to be proven wrong but I can’t see the new gaffer working well with Butterfield.

Seems like the new manager doesn’t rate O’Malley which is a bit unfortunate.
There’s a player there but he’s had a poor season. Probably 3rd choice left back at the minute.

Anecdotal, but there were almost a dozen of us there on Friday- most of whom never attend, and half said they wanted to return with their kids.
One thing even Wharton failed to do was capitalise on floating support; we aren’t going to overnight start averaging 8,000 like Lincoln did but there is scope to grow off the field.
Our prices have always been reasonable, however, as a previous poster alluded too, we are likely dropping down to regional football next year so prices will have to reflect that. With some clever marketing, positive momentum and the likelihood of actually winning some games, There is no reason we can’t be close averaging 4K next year.
It will be good to see what the chairman’s vision is, any chance of podcast with him SST?
