Surely, these negative thought patterns can only be found in players who have already guaranteed a new club.
Could there be all that many?
All of those who have not must know that the new salary structure could very easily turn out to be the very best that they can achieve. That incentivises players.
Potential new clubs will clearly be scared off when scouts report that their target can’t be arsed to give us full measure when chasing promotion!
What of those plenty of players who will still end up needing to get a contract with us?
What of those who recognise that they fell lucky to get such a hefty deal from Hilton? May they not want to stay?
Promotion would have given better earning potential to all players.
I do not buy into the idea that loadsa players are not giving their best.
Say three of our better players have got new clubs lined up.
It would only take as few as three to sabotage our season.
If this idea holds any water at all – I wonder who the trio might be?1 user thanked author for this post.
Booing is wholly sufficient. It says it all. Anything above and beyond that is unacceptable.

Shocking first half. We were clearly a notch better than Alfreton in the second.
1/10 for an ultra weak ref who was constantly bullied by the Alfreton big gobs; he gave them the ‘benefit of the doubt’ repeatedly – and us never. Cheating welcomed.
This division is making me paranoid!
Would anyone please give us a price for Elliott?
I am also concerned about Scales. How rare it is to see him bring anything other than mere continuity to the play – and not always that. Anyone know how many – if any – assists he has got this season? I’m not seeing any end product.
Hopefully, after Tuesday, Clarke will be approaching match fitness. He must surely be more effective.1 user thanked author for this post.
I usually support any manager until I really can do so no longer.
I am distinctly unimpressed by his one dimensional, tactical thinking. Surely, we can do better.
If he does win us promotion – which I now consider improbable – then, we are morally obliged to give him a punt at the NL. But I would expect him to improve from where we are now.
Surely, Nelson would have done a better job with this side. But then, the problem is that our squad might well have been very different.6 users thanked author for this post.
IMHO, Clunan is nothing like the player he was in the first few months of the season.
In that period, incisive passing was probably the main part of his function on the pitch.
Today, he is not really attempting to do this – and on the few occasions he does – passes are generally not finding their target.
This can also be viewed as a rather different problem for which he is not to blame.
Off the ball movement is nowhere what it was at the start of the season. Simple fact.
I have wondered whether this may have been hidden from view for a while because of what Smith was doing for us.
Another question is begged when we consider the midfield goals contribution from Clunan and Scales. Derisory!1 user thanked author for this post.
TWICE in first half v Scarborough, commentary turned into MUSIC!!
I keep trying not to use the word ‘incompetent’ but …1 user thanked author for this post.
Will someone explain to me why, at corners, we don’t have a player 10 yards beyond the far post racing in towards the post to create havoc. Cassidy, Percy Freeman – even Alick Jeffrey did that on occasion. Think – Ernie Moss and Chris Chilton.
Apologies to those who haven’t a clue who I’m talking about.4 users thanked author for this post.
