You missed JD ?

I’m guessing not every individual in the category classes as a manager by some.

So three individual out of character mistakes cost us yesterday’s game, must be Butler’s fault then

[Iron-awe]

First mistake — reading this forum
Second mistake — not deleting Iron- bru from her phone. Lol

[Iron-awe]

Cracking game sounds very entertaining.

[Iron-awe]

Anyone expecting a gung ho approach after Tuesday nights deserved home win is going to be disappointed,most managers treat every game differently and Butler will be weighing up all his options for us to win but to be defensively tight aswell. One defeat in the league so far this season is testament to his measured way of thinking game to game,he’s more considered in the way he views matches then scatter brained JD IMO.

A post on X yesterday below:

‘Surely any manager worth their salt has their own ideas and playing model? The simplistic approach of just copying the last team to win the league says it all. He doesn’t sound that bright in interviews either. We’ve got a simpleton in charge, should have stuck with Dean.’

Total unnecessary disrespect. And rubbish – Like Dean was some super intelligent guy?!
Just get over it with some grace and dignity.

Jimmy wasn’t that intelligent either, anyone remember his rock & hard ‘stone’ reference? That made me chuckle but he did have us playing better football, whilst returning the same points as Butler.

Think you will find Jimmy didn’t return any points from trips to Brackley, Curzon, South Shields and Chester last season, just saying

[Iron-awe]

Rushall were very leggy last twenty minutes the spaces we were finding in different areas of the pitch were very noticeable late on, those Laughton woods runs certainly payed off last night.

It’s a good job Butler has the Bru tactical tag team to realise the error of his ways

Aye when we are poor it’s Butler’s fault, when we are good it’s down to us lot of course, nowt to do with the players either way lol.

[Iron-awe]

The second half showed the system works when the ball is moved quickly with accurate passing and the wing backs bombing on, it was a more entertaining game as a result and we scored two excellent second half goals. Fishburn deserves a run of games after that performance, chuffed for the young man he worked really hard and got more involved with the play second half, I thought it was more than half decent tonight and pleased Carlton got a run out near the end, it was very positive stuff overall.

I think if you set up to get a point away at Chester and succeed you must set up up on the front foot in the next home game against lesser opposition, indeed every home game should be set up to win in this division IMO.

[Iron-awe]

AB bigging up Carlton even though he’s not fit, reckon if our current forwards keep misfiring he’ll still wait for Carlton to play before he moves for another striker.

[Iron-awe]

I’m sure you’ll cope Rene.

It’s looking more and more that way.
Same old, same old.

Except under Dean last season we acquired nil points from trips to Chester, Curzon and Brackley whereas, as was pointed out in yesterday’s post match interview, under AB we have acquired 7 points from the same group of fixtures this season.

If AB set the team up for a draw then it’s been a very successful day against the current home form team. Put it this way, AB will be the happier of the two managers tonight, a very good away point which keeps us, Mr P Anders, at the top of the table. Now it’s vital we follow up on Tuesday night with a home win, that will make today all the sweeter.

Without a change in the system or personne, Chester will prove to strong for us on Saturday.2 or 3-0. We will not be top of the table at 5pm!

I’m guessing you won’t be giving up the day job to take up football punditry professionally?

Bloody Carson should stick to butlering at Downton.

I thought Gallimore might have a chance of making it with us but wasn’t he and a few more decent youngsters victims of the Swann money saving scheme. Or put another way, ” I’ve overspent I’m in the shite you lot are going”?

If you did not read the story mick it will not involove the game this Tuesday night, just glad that stretch of road is finally being repaired it gets volume on it in a day time not just on matchday.

[Iron-awe]

Brownsword Way has wanted squaring up for awhile now, some right shock absorber breakers on that stretch, long overdue and most welcome.

[Iron-awe]

Love a drop of 10 year old Taylors Tawny port, preferably with stilton and crackers.

[Iron-awe]

Yep under Swann we changed from a club spotting talent, bringing it in then selling it on for profit when they had improved enough to be wanted by bigger clubs with bigger budgets. This basically kept us turning over reasonably successfully and for awhile we climbed the league structure to our highest point since the early sixties. Mr Swann bought a lot of decent players in who were over our budget and we got one promotion from league two and a couple of playoff flirtations but in the end had to sell our better players to pay off some of a huge debt we should never have been lumbered with. As many have said before, one man’s vanity almost cost us our club, that’s why we should be patient and tolerant with our current management structure, without them we would have been toast

Paraded on the pitch and then criticising them days after with regards to the new lad being let go/leaving

Not the best look but each to their own I guess.

If your referring to something said on social media cliff then I wouldn’t know, I’m not on it although I understand a lot on here seem to pursue what is said on social media quite fastidiously, you have the advantage over me there.

[Iron-awe]

Maybe our players just need a Pep talk pre match and that will fix it.

[Iron-awe]

Ground tours a tenner a pop per adult, fiver for anyone under 18, get them cash registers ringing.

[Iron-awe]

The goat guy got paraded onto the pitch last home game and praised for his efforts publicly by the club, whatever others may say he appears to be held in high esteem by the clubs new ownership.

[Iron-awe]

Well it proves Russ can get teams playing good attacking football under his management, genuinely chuffed for him, Scunny legend IMO.

Is the Pep way stale? Lots of goals, some of the best players in world football playing for City, ah yes they don’t wear a red kit kit and talk in a silly Scouse accent, just remembered in time.
