Can see Apter being at Scunny long .. hes only on loan with a monthly recall clause and hes getting lots of positive press and interest on social media , hope im wrong as he appears a real handful and at least offers bottoms off seat moments when on the ball.

You certainly wonder why he’s playing in the Conference.

Remember though that he can only play for 2 clubs in a season, I believe, so if Blackpool recall him he can only play for them or send him on loan elsewhere (in which case he couldn’t play for Blackpool). Which they might do but it does slightly limit the option of him being recalled.

A flare would definitely be dangerous. But was it a flare or just a smoke canister?

I think Rowe will make a good captain one day.

I have to wonder about Feeny. I do believe him to be one of our better players. So is he not match fit? Feeling his age or what?

Have we seen anything from him since he arrived, really?

I’m not a massive fan of Beestin either – good in possession, often seems to be lacking out of possession.

Apter looks a really exciting player, just a shame he’s yet another loanee.

There’s never a correct form of protest for some people, is there?

I think it’s a good thing that fans are venting their views. Ultimately, I think it will send a message to potential buyers that there is a club worth saving here. Why would you get involved in a club where the fans are apathetic to it being destroyed?

Idiots behind the goal putting banners in the faces of other paying supporters as happened agsinst Yoevil is not acceptable. I agree that protests are a legitimate action against people like Swann but they should never be at the cost of annoying the rest of the supporters.

If you’re telling me that a) you couldn’t move a few feet to an empty spot to see the game and b) you wanted to see the ‘football’ we are playing at the minute, then I have some magic beans to sell you!

Thankhand still makes me laugh out loud, genuinely hilarious.

Presumably the main value in any sale of the club lies in its membership of a league and, potentially, the club’s land/ground/other fixed assets.

Relegation again was and still is a real possibility. All the good work off the field was being undone.

Current relegation odds are 5/4 for us: that’s not far from becoming a probability rather than just a possibility.

I’d also add in relation to the abuse Neil’s received on social media, despite what anyone thinks about Hill, he doesn’t deserve the kind of abuse he’s had either. There’s a fair amount of hypocrisy going on from what I’ve seen. Hill failed miserably but a lot of the abuse he’s received is out of order IMO.

That should go without saying in general life.

Mind, something about Hill & his attitude in the press really pressed my buttons. Not that I’ve resorted to the sort of things that you describe and not that it’s an excuse, but I’m not sorry to see the back of him even though I don’t think there’ll necessarily be much of an upturn in results.

Maybe it was wise – he can now block the abusers and general pains in the proverbial? Not difficult to see who they are.

I understand that but I think it has to be acknowledged that it is a role which comes with both rough & smooth.

Like I say, it’s entirely understandable if he wants to keep his personal account more private, I just think it would be better if there was a fully public account for his position.

[Ferrite]

I still find it odd that he has chosen to protect his tweets; fair enough if he has a personal account but as the fans’ representative it would seem reasonable to have an open account (completely separate from his personal one) to communicate with fans in relation to his role on the board.

Plenty of gas left in this explosion yet I reckon. Relegation from the Conference this season is something that risks really tearing the club and fanbase apart. Could the club survive it?

Was it Les’ work to get the west stand fire alarm to go off? Just so the posh seats could get an idea of his suffering in the east stand?

We’re back to the “chucking in untried youngsters” stage again. Just like all those youngsters we played last season who now are apparently nowhere to be seen.

I do wonder who needs a scoreboard in a football ground. A clock of course if useful but a scoreboard?

[Ferrite]

So when we paid more money, we got better players and now we pay less money we have worse players? Interesting.

They’re still people, ffs. If you want to get angry with someone, get angry with the club for signing them, with the physio department for not being able to get to the bottom of their injuries. Players don’t get injured on purpose, it must be really depressing to be in the situation of someone like Hallam who has probably worked really hard to be a professional footballer and got to close to realising his dream but every time he takes one step forward his body takes three backwards.

So one month in to the season and we’re signing a young player to presumably replace one of the two midfielders signed in the summer. Not exactly a ringing endorsement for anyone is it?

Stevie Wonder would be better than Taft. I can’t think of a player in an iron shirt who’s declined at the rate in which he has. Taft is absolutely shocking, no composure on the ball…he’s generally all over the place.

It’s a good job that coaching & training have got nothing to do with our problems otherwise you might look at that sort of decline in form and question the management.

Remember that Graham Taylor documentary when he was England manager? One of the bits I always remember from that was during a game at Wembley when someone behind the bench was abusing John Barnes and Taylor turned round and said “hey, you’re talking about another human being, so just watch what you say”. Very much to Taylor’s credit and something I reckon a few on here could do with remembering.

Next time fans start bleating about player loyalty when someone wants to leave, remember the likes of WG who would happily cut a player adrift as soon as they get an injury.
