    Does anyone know why we were only given 650 tickets

    Presumably because they don’t want 2,500 of us there.

    In respect of my ‘one bad day at the office’ – yesterday wasn’t it.

    The only problem is that at the end of the season we miss out on a higher league position on fewer goals scored.
    (To say nothing of Whitehall and a possible golden boot)

    Maybe the next time we are 3-0 down at home we should all start feinting and asking for medical assistance, shaking our heads and insisting our health can’t stand it. Hopefully we may get a replay.

    What struck me was that while David Artell spent the whole game shouting and encouraging his team from his technical area, Amorim was sat playing with a virtual game on a magnet board in the dugout. I don’t think he left to watch even one of the penalties. Can’t imagine the difference in pay between these two, but I’m sure the Manchester board know they’re getting a good bang for their buck!

    Hard watch that second half – great goal. Didn’t understand taking off Beck who won almost everything in the air which Howe may have benefitted from, and then taking off his two best players (Roberts and Ewing) together. all that being said – in retrospect – a point was a good result bearing in mind that the second half possession stats must have been close to 90-10. Shout out to our keeper though, despite having acquired the habit of falling to the floor when receiving the ball in the air – even from the simplest of deliveries, almost managing to injure himself in the process on one occasion. Andy has intermated that he may have a full squad (-1) for our next games so onwards and upwards – UTI.

    Whitehall clearly punched him then went down like a sack of spuds when he got one back,Had the linesman chose to report either he’d have been off.I don’t like players with no morals in my team

    I’ve seen the clip several times on Gareth’s vlog. There’s some shirt pulling on both sides in the build up which culminates in Danny throwing his arm across the upper chest of the defender who retaliates in similar fashion and Danny over reacts by sinking to the floor. – as most forwards do in an attempt to influence the officials. (sad but true!). Didn’t see any ‘punches’ thrown, but did notice Danny’s shirt was ripped above the maker’s logo when he came off. Me reffing? 2 yellows.

    No boos or abuse but I thought Chester were the better footballing side.
    BUT – it’s the result that counts. Well done boys UTI.

    Certainly NOT in the first half. Second half we allowed them to play and they looked better. All their threats seemed to come from set plays but they were unable to convert any of their many corners and free kicks. Better footballing side? Not for me on today’s showing. Better after half time? Definitely!

    Thought my screen wasn’t big enough to cope with all the balls in the air, both goals were as a result of playing on the ground . Well one Iron!

    Don’t think there’s any doubt that something’s amiss at the AA (GP). Disturbingly, this seems to stem from about the same time as the contract extension announcement for the 2 ‘managers’. I have seen NO evidence of what Schofield brings to the table other than an affable presence when interviewed. The softball questions from Moody week after week following losses have masked the fact that Butler has flaws which are not suitably examined in these clips.To descend from a team that conceded less than a handful of goals in their first 9 games to a team conceding 3 goals a game on a regular basis, and losing is evidence that the bonhomie and camaraderie that was abundant some weeks ago has disappeared and has been replaced by defenders who can’t defend, midfielders who can’t control midfield and strikers who have little or no service or are played in a position that’s unsuitable e.g. the ‘Chorley flyer’ – heralded as a free goal scoring winger, but when fit, ill-used and miscast. Fitzsimons. Roberts and Barrows apart then the rest need serious scrutiny.

    Disappointing to say the least and embarrassing at most. This is a concerning trend which has been festering for some games.Do we get the ‘same old same old’ – Lessons will be learned – put it right next game. We have the same players that were mauling opponents weeks ago, so what’s gone wrong? Something has and the same fronting up from the manager with the usual spiel won’t cut it. What’s gone wrong?

    When I saw the starting 11 I knew we wouldn’t win and suspected we might lose. That was an over cautious selection again overrating the opposition and no confidence in going out to win the game. Poor, poor.

    Competent battling performance – didn’t think the result was in doubt after the goal. Commentators were lacking in knowledge an at one point admitted they couldn’t see properly without binoculars. Onwards and stay at the top. UTI

    When the weekly question was asked ‘What is your footballing ‘ick” Danny immediately replied ‘goalkeepers’. so we know his mindset – unfortunately it may come back and bite him – hopefully not a second yellow to mean he misses games. Andy may need to have a quiet word (or a loud one).

    That was a much more comfortable watch than last season’s away offerings. Masterclass in how to control the game without the ball. On chances could have won 6-2 but Fitzsimons shows his value again with a great save at a crucial time. Subs more sensibly used, and Whitehall along with Evans battling for MOTM. UTI

    9 points from 3 games – 3 clean sheets. That’ll do for me for now. I don’t really want us to ‘do a Tamworth’, (other than finishing top of the league obviously) and I’d like us to play free flowing attractive attacking football, Unfortunately. we’re still in NLN and need to play the next team on the list. Comments from the Marine game seemed to compliment our opponents on their efforts and I’m sure their fans were well up for their home game last night – then they got dicked 3-0 by Farsley Celtic. One game at a time folks.
