    Just listened to the AB post match interview it all sounded very similar to previous so cant see how things are improving or we are learning. Most interestingly he made a comment that until the 70th minute then we got more into it going forward isnt that when we changed to 442 ? it really is that simple anf there is your proof Andy so bite the bullet and change or its all gonna go pear shaped.

    Makes the decision to extend his contract even more ludicrous.

    Waking up to another dire performance , out played AGAIN ..woeful

    These new signings need to happen NOW as a couple more duff performances and we could be down to 10th and we all can see Buxton on Saturday are gonna come and do a Radcliffe same as they did last season.

    If AB doesnt see the light and drop this formation we are toast .. attendances will plummet as fans dont want to watch dross football they need entertainment and excitement and recently its been LESS “fun” than a visit to the clap clinic.

    A nice early start,a few pints then to soak it up Pie n peas with gravy (chuck in some proper chippy chips and bingo the perfect footy ensemble, after the final whistle straight out on the town n meet the missus after she been all dolled up about 9pm then boogey the nights away at Tiffanys or Garbos then a Frod rd Indian.

    BTW has to be a Hollands meat n potato …twas always my number one choice.

    This is what I find hard to understand. Butler wants to play with WBs, we didn’t have any when he took over and we didn’t sign any. So we have 3 FBs trying to be WBs and 3CMs that barely get a look in. Makes the recruitment seem even more bizarre, was 3-5-2 not the recruiters plan?

    Good point cass .. being as no WBS were signed can we assume AB thinks that Barrows , Denton and Kelly are wing backs because they appear not to be.

    I dont get why there hasnt been any activity in the loan market for a couple of players ..especially a striker when it was confirmed by Michelle and Mr Sharp at the fans forum money was there if needed…maybe cant find anyone suitable ?? lets just hope who ever does come in its soon and they are better than whats already arrived.

    Thanks to Butler whoever does end up coming in down the line “which is a forgone conclusion in my eyes” he/they are going to have to ship out say Shrimpton, Rowley and permacrock Law to get wide players in.

    I still think we’re a striker short too. This squad needs balancing up. It’s a wonder Butler didn’t think to himself when he got those players in to play this formation, what happens if it doesn’t work !

    Butler’s well and truly backed himself into a corner because he has no other alternative but to play this 5 at the back due to lack of options out wide.

    Next appointment we need a manager from this level with experience who knows who and what it takes to get out this division. We need to stop this in house managerial rubbish. It worked with Adkins, but I’d rather we didn’t go down this route again.

    Who’s it going to be next ?……Scunny bunny, toilet cleaner, pint puller from the Iron Bar ?

    Agree with just about all of that WGs except i cant see AB getting the boot anytime soon regardless where we finish and more so even in the event of a poor run of form which arguably we are in now .. FWIW IMO whilst we are in and around the top and play offs no way hes going no where however poor the performances.

    Without doubt the players brought in so far (who ever identified them as worth a punt AB LT ?) have been really poor.

    Charlton suspended and injured twice
    Rowley ..why ? never picked
    Fish eager young lad given little chance has had one good game
    Brogan benchwarmer
    Nicolson first few games looked a decent signing but all gone pear shaped recently and poor on numerous levels
    Shrimpton resigned why? never picked

    Not being a doom n gloom merchant but i just cant see us getting promoted if AB doesnt change his chosen formation which sadly appears to be cast in stone .. expect to see the odd exceptional performance now n then Brackley, Kiddy and Farsley but other than those its been really negative boring and totally underwhelming and IMO so lucky to still be top.

    Football is supposed to be entertaining trilling making fans eager to return for more alas whats being served up at the moment especially at home will drive fans away …no highlights vid of Radcliffe so far as probably werent any except the Fitz penalty save.

    Worryingly ABs post match interview wasnt a very inspiring listen how can a manager be happy with that …”Radcliffe are a good well organized side” IT THE RELEGATION ZONE .. i stopped listening a couple of minutes in before the customary “still top ov the league” sound bite

    Sticking with my pre season prediction of finishing 7-10th and even then no way AB will be sacked hes here to stay lets just hope he sees the light and changes this terrible system.

    Draw or not today was really poor .. WE WERE AT HOME against a side who did a job on us

    words to describe how we are

    * INNCONSISTANT
    overly DEFENSIVE
    * UNCONVINCING
    POOR
    Lucky to be top

    But lets wait for the post match usual warbling ..like a claret n blue parrot !!

    The sooner the better.

    Perhaps a more experienced manager ?? Ar but that costs serious wonga so lets run with the cheaper option who gets his buddies in to try to muddle together a team , most of which have no love or afiltiation to the club having been signed by a former fraudulent owner..

    WHAT COULD GO WRONG ???

    “Butler”! You bloody Muppet where was Whitehall? your supposed to be the manager well bloody manage, like I said top of the page Whitehall and roberts could and should have been rested at halftime but no idiot head hasn’t a clue,
    As for Carlton gets his chance fluffed it again totally anonymous, when will the Whitehall naysayers get it without him we’re nothing.
    Having said that why not just move Carlton on the wing instead of taking him off he’s got pace so use it, no forwards on the pitch at the end what’s that all about. Radcliffe by far the better team sempt to be in our half more than we was in theirs played some nice football anyway more than what we were in theirs.
    Just not good enough for an home performance.

    Agree .. AB does make some really strange decisions and today to a man were piss poor.. usual post match AB soundbites to follow .. top of the league 555555

    Interesting to see how they deal with Roberts in the form he’s currently showing, reckon they might get a player sent off on Saturday, he’ll be too good for them. Difficult predicting scores in these games so I’ll sit on the fence score wise and just say a comfortable home win.

    Is it me or as every game comes im concerned about Roberts being targeted by teams who put 2 guys on him and crunch him early much the same as he was sandwiched right on half time recently i think at Southport (intentionally or not).
    Hopefully he has fully recovered form all his injury set backs of recent years, still im sure all others teams in this league would love him to be out for a lengthy spell something that would severely damage our promotion hopes.

    According to the Radcliffe guy on the Iron hour podcast they wont be intimidated , no way will they come and defend it will be all out attack with each player trying to win their individual battles on the pitch .. so we might be in for a cracker of a game ..

    0-0 its is then 5555555

    i’d have back in time to replace Roberts who will be snapped up in Jan now he has proved his fitness

    Not sure i would want KVV back at all but you are bang on about Roberts .. he will be gone in Jan 25 (possibly with one or two more)..and who can blame him, he has zero real affiliation to the club, was signed by Hilton and had that spat with fans post Guiseley

    Couple of decent home results against relegation fodder and the likely lads go from Butler out straight to trying to relaunch HMS P1ss the League.

    The notion this current team are anything special on the back of a couple of improved home performances against dross is sheer folly, it always gets fans positivity into overdrive thinking we will smash everyone by 3 , 4 or 5 each outing when in reality we wont … im waiting to see how we get on against KLT , Hereford and Alfreton before i order any champagne (must include the option to return to the vendor such is my confidence in success).

    Take a look at over 250 posts on Kev Howz Radcliffe prediction thread on the SUFC FFBP mostly 3 4 n 5 goal Scunny wins apart from a hand full of draws and only ONE chap tipping Radcliffe for a shock away win.

    I would love to see a another confidence boosting big home win and for that matter a long run of wins to try n shake off the likes of Curzon and Chorley.

    It wasn’t that post IFA. Nothing wrong with it as far as I can see. It was a post from a few days ago. I assume it was refering to another forum member? ‘Betting’ was in the abuse and swearing? Perhaps you were drinking on meds again? I don’t know. Anyway, that’s why it went.

    Ar ok got it … yes guilty as charged but i wasnt refering to any Bru forum member or any one on face book but was venting at the barrage of betting posts that constantly arrive unchecked on every face book post on the SUFC FB page.

    Apologies for that post it was a tad profanic if thats a real word.

    Back to the footy and bumped into a retired guy (Farsley fan) last night and he reckons they wont see the season out… hope thats not the case.

    IMO , This will be closer than many are thinking .. HOPEFULLY a tight 2-1 scunny win or at worst a 1-1 draw the likeliest outcomes.

    Crap performance should of been 9-0 .. food was shit., BUTLER OUT .. bring back Hill
    Sorry drinking on meds scrap the Hill bit 55555
    Much needed win .. Radcliffe may well prove more resilient BEWARE all the dilusional Iron fans.

    Can you try and refrain from submitting a genuinely abusive post today, so we don’t have to delete another post of yours please? That would be appreciated. Meds drinking or not.

    After such an excellent performance thought it was pretty obvious this post was in jest especially the Hill bit … other than the S word (apologies for the use there of) im not seeing anything abusive Deery..

    Radcliffe will be a lot closer game than 99.9% of Scunny fans are predicting.

    Come on Michelle give the people(about 6 on SUFG and IFA) what they want

    The return of the Dean and Stamp “Dream Team”

    IFA ??? i most certainly have not advocated for the return of Dean , IMO Stamp would not be a bad move though….

    Dean no way

    Stamp .. personally apart from the Apple crumble i didnt like the look of the food during his tenture at AAGP was always a meat pie n Bovril guy not burgers, respect for stepping in when he did though….that said my daughter and family do regularly frequent Take A Gander and say very good things re the place and food.
