I think Smith will come good eventually, maybe not this season but on a shiny new (hopefully competently) laid and funded pitch given game time Smith should come good. I was and still am against the loaning out of Howe but if he scores a hatful he could well be an asset come the playoffs.
This is the most infuriating part of Butler’s game, cost us around 17 points from 85mins onwards. What possible benefit do we gain from resting a player for 4 minutes? Changing players, sit deeper invite them on and with one of the worst defences in the league currently (in th country on current Goals conceded). It’s madness. You wouldn’t do it in under 11’s that’s for sure.
Just try and learn from it because you’ve got this badly wrong.

93rd minute subs
95th minute equaliser.Why do we keep doing this?

The pitch should almost be an advantage, it’s atrocious but a great leveller against better teams. It just feels like we’re running out of ideas, that and we probably need 6 decent players

Butler is still learning, he is going through a sticky patch. He needs to act more grown up when dealing with the fans and needs to play to players strengths and more round pegs for those circular holes. He isn’t going anywhere and nor should he….but he does need to develop and be open about his shortcomings

The club should put £500 on us not to make the playoffs, that would pay for the pitch.(legalities aside!)

The defence and the GK are a concern, as is the CDM. Rowley is getting worse by the day, full backs hitting really poor form Boyce on his last legs and the keeper is introducing regular clangers into his game. Couple this with regular loanee departures were down to a very threadbare squad which probably matches our budget now.
Team are strolling through us at will just lately.

Butler would play him out wide.

Not watching the game but if Butler plays two wide men who is it? Ewing? You’ve got Smith Hurst Dausch and Carlton on bench. Butler appears to be losing his form as much as Ewing has.

Maybe there is a wider discontent and Howe is just part of it.

Listened to Butler post match interview. Honestly he can come across at childish sometimes.
One thing he did say which is a worry is several players were already carrying knocks.
He didn’t mention Cal Roberts but he was clearly struggling with his groin.
I would be surprised if he plays on Tuesday,
And that would be massive. I don’t know what Ewing is playing at either.Btw we had a stonewall handball penalty, you could here the slap of the hand from some way away. Linesman saw it but chickened out.Would still of lost mind.

Don’t understand why Bellahoun doesn’t get more of a run out at full back. Denton is a real concern for me. His passing is awful and his defending leaves a lot to be desired. He seems to switch off quite a lot in important situations. I would feel confident meeting Carlisle in the playoffs if it came to that.

Watch Denton for their second goal.
Just jogging back – really poor defending. Not switched on enough. Butler would (should) be fuming1 user thanked author for this post.
‘Free kick to them’….. not the best commentary

I just don’t get the timing, if we announced someone inwards at the same time great but we’re now heading into a crucial game on a pitch which saps energy and we’ve made our bench much weaker. Why not send him out Monday if at all.
The club get most things right but this is a strange one. Let’s hope we’re not a goal down chasing the game with the front men firing blanks.

Campbell gone out as well, nothing wrong with that but the people out on loan now should equate to 2 or 3 coming in (I hope). I hope Altrincham plays a lot of top 6 sides and can do us a favour.
