Getting deja vu. Sure you’ve mentioned that already?

Must be the way you tell em

Maybe Russ has learned from his mistakes? Absolutely nothing wrong with a manager changing his tactics to improve results.

I knew a post like this (not necessarily from you) was incoming.

I’d rather not be reminded thanks

In the interview Michelle stated they were still on talking terms. It didn’t give me the impression of an imminent tribunal.

Yes, she said he’d phoned her a few times last week to see how she was doing.

But where would we be without AWG’s wonderous stories? In a pretty fragile place. All good people know that. If some posts weren’t so close to the edge, there’d be no issue.

[Deereyme66]

Well, we’ll perhaps see if this carries on munch longer. If a new manager did come in with a different formation and we saw a massive turnaround in performances I’ll happily hold my hands up and say I got it wrong. Whatever happened to ‘players should be good enough to adapt to formations’? We used to hear it a lot, now it’s mysteriously disappeared from narratives.

[Deereyme66]

Only things I’ll counter that with is people are more extreme in the heat of the moment straight after a game, and you can pay more than peanuts and still not get ‘the man’, as our managerial history since Swann took over reflects

Kind of the point I’ve been making about questioning if the players are good enough? Most the squad is the same lot from last season who couldn’t get promoted under non league Pep’s genius tactics.

[Deereyme66]

There are one or two posters on X who are tediously relentless with the ‘Butler Out’ mantra. Almost like they have a vendetta. Particularly when they go out of their way to text in BBC Humberside post match and repeat the same mantra. At what point do these actions stray from mere opinion in to obsessive demands, putting unnecessary pressure on a Board that has just signed two new additions to help change on pitch performances? Unity? What feckin unity?

[Deereyme66]

Should have been removed for quality reasons alone.

[Deereyme66]

Ollie was good on the commentary too. A good foil to Torps’s general charitable analysis. Think he expresses supporters concerns well

[Deereyme66]

Roger Dean, not Jimmy Dean?

[Deereyme66]

Nice reference

[Deereyme66]

Oh, I definitely agree with 3 CB over egging. Unnecessary and takes a much needed place in midfield. Just think there’s more to it than formations and Butler.

[Deereyme66]

You’re starting to sound like Alcazar. Don’t know who deleted your effigy post, if that’s what you’re on about, but you can hardly be surprised. Nothing ‘woke’ about that decision.

If by that you mean certain players don’t want to be here DM then I would say just clear off then, they signed a contract, they knew who was the manager, they are meant to be professional, so just act like professionals then.

That’s not what I meant. I meant many just aren’t good enough. Perhaps Butler got the best out of them he could earlier in the season. A formation change may improve performances but it probably won’t cut out the defensive errors that have crept in, nor the poor passing.

[Deereyme66]

But nice with a mezze.

[Deereyme66]

Lol, Mike Bassett speaks

[Deereyme66]

I think there’s a bigger problem than this obsession with Butler and formations and I think the players by and large are integral to that.

[Deereyme66]

Not really buying that. You and a few others were never impressed, even when we were getting results at the start of the season.

[Deereyme66]

‘some lucky manager is going to breeze in and find that he has many good players who only need organising within a system that they like and fully understand to see a huge upturn in fortunes on the pitch.’

You sure about that Les? The players not part of the problem then?

[Deereyme66]

Really offensive Rene. Did you use scissors and glue, and take a photo of this abomination?

Missed your vocation: politician.

[Deereyme66]

What about posters suggesting where other posters live Steve? You okay with that? It’s just you didn’t mention it.

[Deereyme66]

Not much different from posters suggesting other posters are ‘on drugs’ or a ‘crack pipe’ tbh and no one complained about that, including those it was directed at. If it was a serious accusation rather than an obvious joke, it might be different.

[Deereyme66]

Were they manic?

[Deereyme66]

Used to watch the odd match when I was younger and it was free TV. Ali, Bugner, Frazier, Cooper, Bruno, plus the welter and lightweights and all that

[Deereyme66]

10 from Carlton?? 5 I reckon.
