His post match interview he appears to have had a ‘debate’ with a fan.
I get him defending the team but he needs to pare back in his interaction with fans. Coming into winter with key players weeks away (Butler’s assessment) the last thing we need is a big drop off in attendances.
For me Butler needs to change his strategy in game management, he has however said he is not changing anything but you need to adapt when your best 4 players are out and the back up players are just not good enough.

2-1 up with two minutes of normal time remaining beggars belief.

Well done for keeping it tight in the last 5 Minutes lads

[Ironawe]

Probably just a blip, we have been off it last few games but still getting results. Would like to see maybe someone on loan either up front or attacking to add a bit of creativity. When fully fit a great squad but we are one deep in a few areas in quality terms. First away defeat half way through November isn’t half bad though

[Ironawe]

Looking at November fixtures – no reason why we shouldn’t be winning all of these games. Never take things for granted but it’s a fairly easy run of fixtures. A lot of the top seven playing each other multiple times as well.

I remember him commentating on Argentina V England 1998 when he said ‘there’s only one team winning this now – England!’. We know the rest…

I think the game was England Romania when he said that, Phil Neville waited until the guy got in the box before bringing him down 3-2 final score

[Ironawe]

Don’t think we’ve ever conceded that many corners in a half of football. Dangerous with the swirling wind so we did well to keep them out. Lucky 3 points as it looked a pen. We’re about due some luck though

[Ironawe]

Cannot believe we haven’t taken three points. Very careless finishing-
Should’ve been 3-0 before their first shot on target. At 1-0 most teams know we concede a goal so they’re still in it. Two dropped rather than one gained in my view

[Ironawe]

Great second half. From where I was Rory decided not to come for the cross (right decision he wouldn’t have got there). It was the gap between the back two that worried me. Also Scales struggles at full back at this level. Proper tale of two halves though. Don’t know why Bellahoun went off, hope he’s OK.

[Ironawe]

Whitehall wasn’t alone in looking leggy. The defence was all over the place and the passing/distribution left a lot to be desired.
I fear for the players entering winter when playing on that pitch. The pitch will get heavy and uneven, lead to injuries and quite frankly is an embarrassment at any level. I would be talking with the NL to move some fixtures to try and get some areas relaid (if we have enough time left) because another Barrows injury isn’t far away. Morecambe looked a good side and I hope they climb the table, they surely will if they continue to play like they did last night. I’ll take the 3 points.

[Ironawe]

Thought we played really well when down to 10, crosses and set plays into the box is a real problem and if we can learn from them and do better I don’t see any teams better than us.

[Ironawe]

Ref is losing control of this game. Can’t see us getting back in it and nearly lost both centre halves. Can see the ref sending one of there’s off – then maybe we could have a sniff

[Ironawe]

I don’t see any value in Beck being in the squad, offers nothing and has an aversion to jumping. He’s not what we need in the squad.

Ridiculous amounts of added time being added but there is a worrying pattern developing. We do lose shape towards the end of the match when the subs are made. A well earned point feels like a defeat again.

[Ironawe]

Last away game of season? Wealdstone
Last game of season? Eastleigh.
Reckon we would take a lot of fans if still in the mix.

[Ironawe]

One of their fans was bleating on about 100% foul and penalty (for the challenge where he popped his shoulder). It was shoulder to shoulder no where near penalty, wonder if a penalty was given the players would’ve come
back out. The answer undoubtedly is yes. League have only one path to take and that is to award the win to us otherwise their authority is shot to bits.

Quite; all the best for your future moderation duties.

[Ironawe]

Didn’t see the game today but Torpey was mentioning the state of the pitch (in how bad it is) said it was affecting play. I’m almost grateful we therefore have 3 away games in a row now.

[Ironawe]

It used to be each thread had a talking point that was built on and kept to the subject matter, opinions always differed but now I see a rapid movement to vitriol and bitterness within most threads which is only appealing to very few people, moderators being anything but moderate, couple that with the cliff edge plummet and the standard of opposition on offer it is little wonder some cannot be bothered anymore (commenting on here).It feels like a societal problem where people want to give instant judgement on others.

Also the division that Hilton caused is still hanging over us. Very dark days.

[Ironawe]

Could easily achieve, and hopefully he’s aware of it. Would be some feat

I haven’t seen many games recently, only highlights. How does Beck do at corners because that’s a dead ball cross into the box situation – is he a threat at these or does the number of defenders around him nullify it? Roberts cutting in may irritate some but it’s been quite successful this season, putting the part time full back on his weaker foot gives him a very good advantage

Why did you post the stat about top 7 at home. As soon as I saw zero wins it filled me with dread

Never thought the day would come where our bogey team is Buxton.

The guy couldn’t lie straight in bed, made up stories about his ‘hurt’ and fans throwing stuff at his car, turned the fanbase against each other and the club were days away from oblivions all the while this pathetic example kept pulling out the ‘look at me I’m depressed and hurt….’ he always has an excuse. 15 counts of illegal activity, driving the club into the ground, stopped paying suppliers, stopped paying staff – there was always a’look at me’reason….when it comes out, guess what….

Some of those monthly losses will be Hilton decisions (decisions made for the sole purpose of driving the club into non existence). He appears to repeat the same nonsense wherever he goes. Let’s not forget he just stopped paying players and staff overnight, supply chain over a period of weeks.
One of the crowd funders was banned from the club because at the time it was a dictatorship.
If it walks like a duck talks like a duck…….

He’s neither fluid fast or a forward. All very well winning a ‘flick on’
But if that flick goes spooning out 40 yards then it’s not really going to work.
Roberts being indulgent? He’s leading scorer and leading assists so I’ll accept his alleged indulgence when he gets us another win.
I guess the manager has seen something in Beck so set the side up to what you supposedly saw because if Whitehall is a long term problem then we’re in trouble so we need that Plan B now

[Ironawe]

The commercial management is a joke, we’ve gone from sponsoring sticky toffee pudding to mini Glastonbury. It must be like Phoenix nights working there.
