I still saw plenty of it Les. Less but still too evident. Some woeful passing still abundant too. I can see what they’re trying to do with some of the more exciting moves and if they come off, great. 7 times out 10 they don’t and it’s frustrating to watch. Just work on passing please. Could have easily been a draw and would have been annoying as Halifax created barely anything. Ref wants sacking for not giving a penalty. Not denying another good performance and result overall though. 4 weeks can make such a difference. Credit to Butler and the boys.

I’m not suggesting they’re being spoon fed updates, more like assuming they are spokespersons for the club and not being discouraged from that mindset. As someone said the other day, ‘useful idiots’. I don’t particularly dislike them either, they do some activity that benefits the club, rather than just their own profiles, it’s more an observation. Though I’m not a big fan of it either. Prefer if they maintained a bit of distance and independence.

Why are they ‘cheeky bastards’?

Whitehall’s looked well off it last few weeks moving like a snail. I wouldn’t mind seeing Howe staring up top with Beestin behind. Can’t see Butler doing that though.

Sarcasm aside, that’s a fair point awaywego

They had some fine riders, Pusey, Booey, Cartwright to name a few.

If, and it’s a big if, there’s been a bust up, there’s no point in him being recalled if he’s happy at Alty.

Do kids still throw stones down on away fans from the top of the speedway embankment terracing like in the early 80s Tezza? Only joking, probably woke a few of our lot up :)

I get the impression Butler’s dying inside every time Ollie mentions Howe’s name.

Harsh on Ewing. Thought he did okay. Not amazing but good enough. Struggled more second half. He started Alfie the previous game and he wasn’t the best. Seems to be playing better from the bench. Harsh on Jones too. He beat players numerous times from what I saw, but not as effective as previous games. You’re a hard one to please Bhuna.

Great game and performance to watch on DAZN. Shame about their goals and Jones error of judgement but agree he pulled off some decent saves. Dausch deserves praise again. Some very smart touches and thinking. Love to watch him. Unpredictable, in a good way. Think he’ll go far.

I’ll bet my house on you not believing them!

Criticism / doubts about the Weekender and it’s timing compounded the attitude of club to certain sections of supporters I think. Again, another lame duck backed by some who have been elevated. I’m not saying it’s all bad by any means but if Butler is going to be selective in praise, then let’s get some perspective. Or are we supposed to believe these ventures would have been successful if everyone was more ‘positive’?

The disdain towards the Trust / Bru all seemed to stem from the 100k club fiasco (or whatever nonsense it was called). That was the impression I got from their responses during the fans forum anyway…they honestly still thought that it was a great idea that had the rug pulled from under them because of “noisy” fans.
The antipathy from the Board towards Bru and the Trust noticeably increased after that episode (not forgetting some of those that have been elevated since were signed up to the promo add) but they surely saw the outcry about entertaining fc1000 went way beyond Trust and Bru. It was heavily decried from most quarters
