It was shameless stereotyping I agree.
Some were postmen who worked the morning shift…. Sorry I’ve gone full John Motson.

The game plan, however boring had eventually worked, 1-0 up a few breaks up field straight into a corner to try and waste time against a plumber who’d grafted all day and then played footy.
That’s plain embarrassing. Why didn’t we go into the corner against Rushall? (We’re a bit more comfortable at home against 9 part timers rather than 11 part timers away from home?). Guess what? It doesn’t work because as every but Dean will see it took 30 seconds from their corner to our goal. It’s been bollocks to watch for a few weeks now. Butler needs to get more involved as he’s the one with league experience.1 user thanked author for this post.
My view is that it is vitally important for our long term survival (that we go up). The goodwill will soon dissipate when we slide further into anonymity. We’ll have a core of supporters but we’re not a mad passionate local football supporting town. We’re massively out of the spotlight, BBC updates, Sky Ticker, general coverage. Long term it means less attraction for players and fans alike. We’ve watched some great football in the past but a long term stay in this division is not something I would look forward to, the quality is just too shit. Don’t mind consolidating in NL for a bit but NLN is just shit, the refs, the away fan(s) the grounds. It’s quirky for the first season but going to these places for the next 2-5 years – we’ll be down to 1,500 in no time and then we’ll be part time just hanging around these leagues with fat immobile centre forwards who ‘put it about a bit’. I watched last night and thought it was so slow laboured and not very enjoyable, how we’ve fallen so far so quickly, and this squad are supposed to be full time professionals

He won’t fit with JD’s not playing a striker strategy whilst chasing the game

Said it enough times, thick as mince. No plan B and my god Beestin out wide- when will that ever work. Beestin isn’t worth a place in the squad. Torpey had it right on Humberside – bringing off Elliot and leaving Wilson and Beestin on the pitch was just bizarre.
When we need a plan B he just hasn’t got a clue. We looked aimless and leaderless in front of a bumper crowd

The old Mussolini made the trains run on time…. The last shelter of those desperate enough to defend the indefensible. He tried to destroy the club for personal gain, ending 124 years of local/community history – ‘yes but he employed somebody to do really nice burgers so it’s not all bad’

If his contract is up end of season then doubt they’ll get rid until then. He is very limited intelligence and tactical wise and there is no way we should be putting performances like we have been against players who have full time jobs in the day and this is their hobby. Dean and Beestin both worry me at the minute, both have competency issues – for one reason or another.

Dean went negative with his subs and paid the price. Hopefully he’ll learn. We won’t win the league by being ponderous.

Could even be part of a debt arrangement where process and due diligence are a necessary to stop a repeat of the Hilton period where, allegedly, money meant for the club ended up elsewhere. As mentioned before I trust the current leadership to do what is right for the club first and foremost.

Commercial staff, the right calibre of staff, would be a net gain for the club, it’s their job to do so. Getting the right people back with the right connections would be a huge benefit and probably increase the playing budget.

Would like to echo sentiments about Robert’s. Really coming into his own now and as he approaches full fitness will start to tear up this division. Really impressed with him, half a dozen matches ago he was tentative about beating the man , not now. Kudos to him

Have no particular axe to grind with him, I just see that he has limitations tactically and he will find it very hard in NL. He will, most probably, take us up so deserves to have a go next season, but it will be very testing. As with any manager and player hope he proves me wrong

Warrington had a portly 9

I reckon most people could get this team to win at home. They are good enough to know what to do themselves. Our passing looks off at the minute, missing players, passing into trouble. Hopefully just a phase, away form is the real concern because we look devoid of any tactics
