Called off? If so I reckon the club will
lose around £20k for that decision, I would expect 5k plus tomorrow Tuesday night 4k.

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.

100% agree Les, on his day Beestin can be a match winner – and was adding goals again. Now it’s all gone backwards a bit.
He seems disinterested

[Ironawe]

It will boil down to the manager – let’s see how Dean sets the team up and then adjusts should the pattern of the game dictate such. The subs last game cost us and definitely weakened the side. I would be asking Beestin if he isn’t fit enough to track back off his own mistakes should he really be considered?

[Ironawe]

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

Subs lost the game for us. Beestin headless chicken and played out wide again. Shrimptom did nothing and Roberts replaced by Kelly gave them more invitation to advance – which they didn’t need. We had no shape no coherence when those subs were made and they made us substantially worse on the pitch. I am getting quite annoyed at how Beestin gives up tracking back – even when it’s him who lost the ball.

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.

Bloody foreigners coming over here and enriching our game.

[Ironawe]

Was good to see Elliot start in an attacking line up. Butterfield has been off it last couple of games (tired from carrying the team forward no doubt) so was good to rest him and that pitch would do him no favours. Problem we have now is Whitehall’s absence leaves us pretty light up top

[Ironawe]

Watching on stream Beestin has been very poor so far

[Ironawe]

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

Speaking with a friend of mine last night who played with Jimmy at St Ives (the cambs one). Jesus wept the stories were both hilarious and horrifying in equal measure.

[Ironawe]

Was talking before the game that this would be a good benchmark of progress. It’s only one game but the persistent worry remains. NLN Buttefield gets a lot of time and space / he won’t get that in NL and Dean needs to think about how that is countered. Too often slow movement or lack of movement allows well organised teams to get back into shape and defend easily. Dean has always struggled with plan B’s. Having said that there is not much game changer choice on the bench. We need more firepower up front. Law did OK when he came on and we need Ogle back, Boyce looks to be struggling.

Somebody in the thread said the second goal was offside but it came from Denton’s back pass header unless I missed something

I guess with the sin bin it’s not permanent – like that dreadful penalty against Newcastle United. It should make players think twice about abusing refs – which would eventually lead to more (and better) refs coming into the game. It’s worth a trial

[Ironawe]

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

Awaywego – this lottery is purely for the financial viability and support of the club moving forward rather than the Staffy half time draw. I’m sure if they get £10-15k/month from the lottery it will increase but for now they need cash into the business.

Special mention to the linesman(dugout side) who got nearly as many things wrong as the ref. Clear scunny throw ins given to them when he wasn’t even looking. Have to remind ourselves we have the dregs of referees at this level.
We need to play with more urgency and press. Previous poster was right / the mistakes we made were far too many and a league 2/NL club would’ve made us pay.

[Ironawe]

It says per month on the info, I’ve thrown in 4 goes a month, to be honest the smoking goat voucher is the one I want!

[Ironawe]

Very disappointing. I think you can sum that game up as they wanted it more. Even though they had little ball they chased harried and fought for their lives. We passed it nicely in areas that matter not

[Ironawe]

I was as close as could be to the foul, it was a yellow not a red. It looked like a wild challenge but it wasn’t dangerous/career ending. Now there have been numerous elbows to the head of Whitehall this season and nothing done, and in my book a lot of those should’ve been punished with reds. All about opinions but if we had her officiating again I would be OK with that.

Compared to others at this level she was streets ahead in terms of competency. I don’t think she got much wrong at all and no glaring errors, controlled the game well. There was little to nothing to say about the ref which is what you want

[Ironawe]

It’s almost like Hilton offered high wages deliberately to saddle the club with debt so it would eventually fold and then get the ground/land used for development…..who’d have thought Swann could’ve played the hero villain! It’s like Vader picking up the Emperor in Return of the Jedi. All this drama – if only we knew of a director who could monetize this into a Hollywood blockbuster.

Buxton lost to BS today, that sums up this league because they were the worst team I’ve seen at GP for some time (aside from us last few years!)

Hopefully they can pick up away from home but need to up their game considerably.

[Ironawe]

If we want to challenge we have to find a way of winning away. The set up last night and the performances, generally, away from home have been unconvincing and we have to find a way of winning 6-8 away from home to give us a really good chance of automatic spot. Home form spot on but we have to supplement with some good away performances and the odd hard fought draw. The squad is far too good for this division so we should be able to pick up away from home with the right set up.
