Farrell on a season long loan would be good business

The club do need to explain how we have got to this mess, what did our club do to prevent it?
A season ticket holder should have been given the opportunity to buy a ticket. To log on at the appropriate time and there be none available is to deny a perk of buying a season ticket. Perhaps they should take it off as a reason to buy one!?
The number of tickets you could buy should have been set so if every season ticket holder bought their allocated number there would be say 10/20% left for general sale. As it is either us, Rochdale, the league who’s game this is or all 3 do appear to have shafted the fans.2 users thanked author for this post.
McCann the unprofessional one. No reason to comment on Butler giving a honest answer to a question.
Don’t think Sharp needs his ego massaging by Butler. People moan they aren’t kept in the picture and when they are they still moan.1 user thanked author for this post.
AB has chosen his approach of resting and rotating over momentum. Southend had no choice as they were still chasing confirmation. If we are beaten comfortably then he got it wrong. A defeat then fine, 5 of these 6 teams are close based on the season. I would have liked to have seen more goals scored but its not my decision, it is ABs and judgement will follow Tues night

the error was no one followed their runner they all focused on the big striker who was stood offside but didn’t go for the ball. Jones’s is asset he is better under pressure late on. Our defending is not going to improve this season – just need forward play to better than opponents. Will need good news before 5pm today as 3 loan players have now gone back.

Better effort and work rate. But lot of huff and puff and aimless long balls and not a lot of football played. 3 points is what matters the most. Especially our inability to defend at all. Yes Starbuck scored which was great but he is part of that defence and his crossing was awful.
Hirst looked like a player, pity he was injured
Farrell looks a good ball player so far but better in a 3 and Whitehall was too tired to even wind anyone up.
Jones if started would have gone off – had 7 stitches. Better as impact last night.
What matters is following it up with a win on Tue.1 user thanked author for this post.
The subs weren’t the issue – as soon as we took the lead the all the players ‘declared’ just sat back and assumed Solihull had given up. Suddenly Whitehall is tired and stopped running, midfield didn’t make a tackle, defenders do what they best at present stand a stare.
It was a poor ending from professionals!
Positives were Farrell – he had good ball control and could go past a man
Whitehall focused on football. (The red was for Solihull was deserved)
Ewing was back to making tackles again and getting around the pitch
Roberts showed he really is class – give him the contract he wants, if we have genuine ambition.Depends which Scuny is selected and then do they turn up? The Boston/Aldershot one or the Forest Green/Rochdale one. We wont be keeping a clean sheet which ever one it is. Over 3.5 goals
And we can hear if AB has figured anything out yet or will be their budget, its all my fault not the players, only our squad are carrying knocks, we’re safe from relegation why worry about the play-offs, players are playing in sandals due to the pitch not because i have taken the motivation off, York had a better pitch to play on than we did blah blah
“i don’t for one minute believe that professional footballers stop trying” well for some reason they are getting out run and out battled by teams. And AB is lost for a reason

3 Scuny boys no longer here – Dawson, Dec, Tyler (club not at fault) not helping.
Smith i will defend, he chose to sign. He scored at Carlisle and it should have been given. I’d put him for Ewing and give him a run to get sharp.1 user thanked author for this post.
As AB is talks about objective met and we are staying up, he clearly has no focus on the play-offs.
He said, if it was game 45 we’d be happy with 60 points. Which the players pick up on and then he wonders why they aren’t trying! We might have pick up enough home wins against teams out of form but at this stage i don’t see us hanging onto tip 7. AB needs to look ahead to next season and get the players playing who will be here then. If that means recalling players then so be it. They might be below the level of Ewing, but they will put a shift in. Most players at this level are similar ability. We have Ewing (initially) Roberts, Horton, Westbrook, Smith (if he gets a run) above this level. The rest just need to work hard and be well managed.1 user thanked author for this post.
Down to attitude – we are safe so objective met. AB just said if we had 60 points after 45 games we’d be happy. Yep at the start of the season we would have been, except its not after 45 games its 32!.
So lets get our sandals off put out boots back on and start working hard again, running fast and attacking at speed.
Fearful for Tuesday if the Horsham/Boston/Carlisle/Aldershot attitude turns ups1 user thanked author for this post.
i’d settle for us turning up and putting a shift in, a performance to build on. The level of our last 4 performances against Rochdale and York could will see us well beaten and worse still doubt ourselves for the rest of the season and 10 points could soon disappear
1 user thanked author for this post.
this was not a one off. Looked great against FGreen. Maybe we thought we were good and just turn up?
But since then, Horsham poor, Southend lucky if they could finish would have lost, Carlisle never won a tackle, Yesterday no real threat, huff and puff how many saves were forced? And defending was a joke, everyone was poor.1 user thanked author for this post.
Have to agree Rowley and Ewing not playing well, they have no pressure on them with players out on loan. Need Beestin in for Ewing, as good as he is, he will be away at the end of the season. As much as Roberts blamed him with his rant, and Butler agreed by taking him off, Smith needs a run of games to get sharpness and form. He cares and will be here next season.
Defence is a joke, Full Backs need to be JB and Horton, have the old men at CH and if they are past it, will need a loanee in. As someone said, we’ve been poor since Horsham, lucky v Southend, no tackles won at Carlisle.
Forget the next 3 games any points will be a bonus. Get it Sorted for Solihull onwards 3 out 4 at home and a chance to get form back1 user thanked author for this post.
they weren’t poor just not at their high standards. Last night we were out tackled by a strong midfield. i would rather have our skilful midfield.
1 user thanked author for this post.
Smith has to start Sat looked the sharpest and Ewing and Westbrooke just below their high standards, Roberts continues to shine.
With Boston coming to park the Hurst bus and and nick a goal we need the all quality on the pitch to get ahead or it will be a long afternoon.1 user thanked author for this post.
Never felt Mahardy had anything too difficult to deal with, decent saves, a couple of crosses. Interesting having seen the video of their pens not much contact to go down with on either. If it was against you would say a pen, i’m happy to say no pen. Their players didn’t surround the ref with rage, perhaps they knew too. And ref missed a clear shirt pull on Whitehall so evens it up. Truth is they weren’t good enough, ref gave them an excuse
