Glad to see a body through the door but confused to why it’s not another centre back.

Why? Surely better to keep them away from yourself and others, not like you don’t see at nearly every ground in the country, we do appear to have some very sensitive souls on here Why not go the whole hog and close the east stand completely can’t be cost effective to keep it open plenty of space elsewhere.
Not got a problem with a lively a atmosphere. I was in there for the Rotherham play off game and it was excellent- had a good edge to it.
Not a fan of 60 youths opening gates, being a general pain in the arse and trying to intimidate women and kids.

Also Neil getting stick for supposedly ‘hiding in the Directors box’ despite him also visiting several parts of the ground. Like yeah, what’s a Director doing in the Directors box ffs? Ridiculous hassle he’s getting.
As said previously, we have a vocal minority on Twitter that criticise and groan without having the minerals to get off their arses and do anything themselves.
We’ve had people crying for years about opening the corner, people crying about the stewards being over zealous; the club try to meet them half way and are rewarded with the appalling behaviour on Saturday.

I thought the whole point of it was to have aggro with like-minded casuals, not harass the ‘scarfers’. If they must do this, why not save it for something away from the ground with Chesterfield, Oldham, Wrexham, Notts County or other clubs who have firms, not some club like Solihull, who I can’t imagine having a hooligan element?
They aren’t hooligans- most of them are covered in acne and couldn’t knock the skin off custard. Like you say They will go missing when the bigger teams show up.
Was embarrassing to watch on Saturday and they should shut the corner off immediately.

Blimey WG, it’s not that long you were bigging up Hill even before he arrived, and were short with anyone who didn’t quite see it.
In fairness he was realistically the best we could get at the time and has a proven record in league 2.
How things have turned out shouldn’t be a surprise though, we are a poison chalice and seem to ruin everything we touch.

In fairness, apart from
Failing to deal with long balls, Solihull looked a good side. Better than half the garbage in League 2their number 5, 7, 10 were impressive to watch and should be playing at a higher standard.

But no one can influence the takeover so it’s a dead end until he sells up.
What other areas should he focus on? If he was sat in his arse taking a wage then there would be hell on. Good on them for having a go, Yeovil proved we can get it right.
By all means slate Hill, slate the players and slate the owner- but Not folk with the clubs best interests at heart with no justification.

Another new Low.
Such a poor mental resilience that has been consistent for the past 4/5 years now.
We are in serious trouble unless we get 3/4 new players in.
Not sure even that would make much difference. Current crop are uninterested or unfit. Possibly both.
You’re probably right. There’s just such a losing mentality at the club that Hill has identified but clearly has made worse. We looked lethargic 3-0 up which is baffling.
I’m at at a loss after that today.

Well NI there was a lot of positivity from certain fans after the first game of the season but like a lot of typical fans, two games later they are all blubbering away.
The issue is a vocal minority can’t seem to separate the good work being done by those running the club during the last few months and the legacy left behind by Swann and co- which is a poor footballing team after years of poor recruitment.
If we survive this year we have done well. Going to take a couple of transfer windows with Swann well out of the picture to rectify things on the field.

I was a big advocate of Hill to be brought in back in November. Can’t believe things have transpired .
Still don’t believe sacking him will achieve anything though at this stage in fact it will probably have the opposite effect because the pot is empty.
6/8 more games for me. If he can’t get a tune out of ‘his’ team then time to go.

I don’t think anyone was suggesting that cracks were being papered over, merely just showing appreciation for the massive culture change that has occurred during the last couple of months.
There is still work to do, but if we can’t actually enjoy it when the club get things right both on and off the pitch then what’s the point ? The Yeovil game just felt like a massive release of pressure and was one the most enjoyable afternoons following the club I can remember in a long time.
In terms of sponsorship- if the feel good factor continues and the club continue to work hard in the community, then naturally the money should follow.

Didn’t Ogle give away possession which led to their goal?
He did, shame because it was otherwise an impressive debut.

Good recommendation. Thank you.

Good to see a striker finally arrive.
Had a decent stint in the NLN so hopefully he can replicate that form with us, rather than his time at Hartlepool.Another striker, CB and left winger and we should be about there

The rumours back a couple of weeks ago were always that the deal was looking to be completed around the 1st august.
Really starting to believe that Turnbull should have a permanent role within the club. Statement was impressive yesterday and seems to be more action than words.
Hopefully the new owners keep him on board and bring Elliot on board in some capacity.

If Nuttall is classed as our main striker then we are in trouble.
4 users thanked author for this post.
Realistically we are still 3 strikers short. If we are playing 1 up too then 2.
Nuttall seems to have gained some mythical status over the summer where he is going to bang 10 goals plus for us. Will be a struggle in my eyes.

We never have, and never will be able to sustain championship football. We’d have probably ended up bust as god knows what he will have spent.
