It’s not happening, Rene. JD gets a fresh notepad to write on. Okay. I’ll accept that but with a few reservations.
DH seems to be approaching the future without an ego trip. Loadsa tough and painful decisions to be made. I don’t envy him.
Promise – no loans – only donations. Promise – the max will go into the player budget.
Promise – in my words – to run a tight ship.
His Ilkeston history encourages me that he keeps his promises.
Food at GP to be sorted – the biggest promise of the lot?
(We all know one brilliant businessman who couldn’t deliver that one!)

Did I get this right that only 30% of the wage bill goes on players’ salaries?
Redundancies in the pipeline – fancy him spotting that we are no longer a Championship club. Swann never spotted that!

This was one of the worst examples of passing the ball that I’ve seen this season.
We appear to have better players than we had previously but this display simply stank!
Thank goodness the final vestige of hope has now caught the last train to Clarksville.
Hate to say it but could Coxy have done worse?

I reckon that Butterfield will stay. Reason? – I reckon that he’s knackered after 75 minutes.

[lesgeo]

BTW, I have now accepted the inevitable. I’m guessing I’m not alone.

I asked Lesgeo junior when was the last time we’d had a goalless draw – in the first three minutes of the game.

[lesgeo]

Two consecutive performances from Bennet which have been lacking in lustre.

[lesgeo]

Most of the old guard will leave. Interesting to see how many of the youngsters remain, though – after all most will not be too far over minimum wage.
A majority of the new ones in will also leave, in part coz of a number being on loan and others with ‘options’ in their short contracts.
I’m guessing that we’ll be looking at a good dozen new faces irrespective of what league we’re in.
Just hope that we aren’t back to new signings towards the end of pre-season training again. That really bugs me!

[lesgeo]

Both Wrexham and Notts Co looked to me to be heading into League Two and probably only staying a season as they move into immediate contention for League One. Wrexham have financial backers and County will be having huge gates.
RR was awesome for them.
Frankly, we were not seeing sides that good last season in L2.
Credit where it’s due.
It was about them – not us.
We marmalised Wealdstone and looked superior.
I just hope that no heads go down for the next game.

Harsh.

[lesgeo]

I agree with LK. We were simply outclassed. No complaints at all. You can’t blame a team when the opposition are that good.
Was the same with Wrexham. If that pair don’t get promoted it will be a travesty.

Height of mystery GK? Taller than Chapman?

I have one of his oil paintings on my wall. A Constablesque country scene – only the haywain is missing. If someone reminds me how to put pics on here, I’ll post a photo.

Thompson looks to be a real coup!

Rance for Pugh and Thompson for Shrimpton looks pretty logical.
At the death – you can’t beat experience. Odds on that Butterfield will play.

Manager must believe that they are better than what we have.
Whatever Tom and Fin do in the future – these guys (presumably) have the experience NOW!

I agree about Whitehouse but nobody contributes the energy that Pugh does.
Shrimpton’s progress from last season is stunning. If he can maintain that increasing improvement – looks like a season-changing big sale to the Championship next year.

[lesgeo]

Bennett – I really like his style of play.
IA was so right about Pugh’s contribution.
Hope GK is alright – if his back is anything like mine he’ll be needing some serious kneading.
Cam is on a major improvement curve.
Big question: Shields or Feeney?
Got so much right today. Approach to the game that was the norm ten years ago made a reappearance this afternoon.
Play like that and we can mebbe take 10 points from the four losers just above us.
What may well finally finish us off, though, is the games that they have in hand.

Why is my video commentary at one third the volume of the crowd noise? Could barely hear anything for the first 40 minutes!

[lesgeo]

Ex-Sheff Utd thug?

[lesgeo]

Did a commentator say that we now have him as a permanent addition?

[lesgeo]

True but I still don’t want Coxy shouting down his Mic.

[lesgeo]

Not Ferris. A bit too undercooked.

Sorry. What was that formation you are wanting us to play Rene?

[lesgeo]

GK seems decent.

[lesgeo]

At least Hilton tried!

[lesgeo]

I’m more distressed about how the players are being used. I have little clue who is better and who is not. It’s a hotchpotch.
Couldn’t believe we didn’t play a fit Feeney wide yesterday.
