Just want to see some points on the board.
I guarantee he won’t pick any up in his first two games!

Will be interesting to see how it goes, he’s a big personality, hopefully no clashes.

Swann will be on sports talk this evening
I hope he’s asked how he’ll be changing the way he appoints managers, given he’s sacked 8 in 8 seasons.

How do we get out of this mess ?
I would argue that a more diverse boardroom would be a very good place to start.

It’s interesting, there were even some positive signs at Barrow in terms of the bright start to the game although that only lasted about 15 minutes. A similar start to that and perhaps a start for Beestin would go a long way though, I reckon.

If they don’t reverse the massive cuts to councils, there’s no point at all as councils have got no money to maintain communal facilities like that. It’s one of the reasons why councils have had to sell off land – not just that they could but because they needed to do so.

Stand corrected and hope we have a big sell on clause. The main point is that the coaches failed to get much from him in terms of skill and effort.
I seem to recall a Mr P. Hurst, formerly of North Lincolnshire, was quite successful in getting him to play well.
we were heavily indebted to Rory for a couple of top drawer saves in the first half, as was the same in the previous match
I’ve never really understood this line of thought – a goalkeeper is part of your team and he’s allowed to play well. I get that you don’t want to rely on the last line of defence but we never complained about Joe Murphy being brilliant during our promotions with him, did we?
If Rory Watson is playing well, that’s got to be a positive, particularly given how much stick he’s had in recent seasons.
As for attendances: Who can blame the fans for not turning up. The board have spent the last few years alienating the core of the fanbase, which has driven many away from the club
Fully agree with this, let’s point the finger in the right direction.

Another thing I noticed from rewatching that equaliser – we had ten (10) players in our own box. So when the ball broke to the guy on the edge of the area, it’s no wonder there was no one to mark him. Ridiculous.

Bit harsh on Millen, he’d just blocked one shot, chased out to close the cross down and it wasn’t his man who scored. Clearly knackered too – which is normal when you spend the entire game without the ball.
BTW, what those highlights don’t show is Barrow’s missed penalty when Millen ran at the penalty taker, clearly screaming something at him!

Should he come? The jury is out. I dont think even SAF could motivate this lot.
I’m not really sure motivation is the problem with this team, I think the hard work is there. It’s more the fact they’re a bit crap, are set up far too defensively and don’t really have a plan on how to score goals or defend.

Impressively poor stats. Our passing was bad last year and seems to have got worse.
Absolutely – but most of those “passes” weren’t passes. They were clearances. Aimless hoofs into space. There was hardly any attempt to keep the ball or to try to build an attack. We completely surrendered possession whenever we got it. The only thing I can compare it to is that famous Barcelona v. Inter Milan game when Inter put 11 (then 10) men behind the ball for 90 minutes to get through to the final. But that was quite a good Inter side!
Adkins would have to have rocks in his head to come here, as would pretty much any manager in our current situation! But I don’t think Adkins is the answer, brilliant as it would be to see him come back here.
