    Fans have long recognised the need for one player ‘of size’ in CM, Apollo. Scales has his moments but …
    On a slightly different track – I wonder how many OOC players will be offered a 40% (or so) pay-cut and will readily accept?
    I suspect it may well be more than the fingers on one hand.

    The worrying thing was earlier in the season when he was unable to see what was abundantly obvious to a significant number of fans. His planning had been sussed and he convinced himself that it hadn’t. What’s more – he was right and that was that!
    Happily, he finally backtracked and this alone saved our season.
    Unhappily, the points subsequently lost by draws and indifferent match-play were never going to be fully covered by his more rational approach. This is why we have not already been promoted.
    He has learned a great deal in this season – albeit pretty slowly.
    He may well win the playoffs – if he does not – it is quite possibly because of flaws in certain players.
    I might well be prepared to give the manager another chance – something I could not have agreed to with the previous boss.

    Everything taken into account, we were worth a point.
    Who should have challenged the guy with the oh-so easy header?

    Gung-Ho and recklessness are certainly not to be welcomed – that’s true.
    Attacking harder than we normally do is a must, however.

    Yes. Three to the power 9 – or so I’m told.

    For us to win this division in any given season, it is necessary to cut down on the draws.
    12 points from 12 drawn matches this season. Oh, dear.
    So very much better to win six, draw four and lose two. (Other winning combinations are possible but I just cannot see how we could realistically have been any worse off.)
    Going for bust in every single game is surely the way forward. It might/might not work in L2 but I reckon that 6 levels down the pyramid …
    Negative football is not welcome – and I don’t give a monkey’s cuss what other teams opt to do.

    Wasn’t that the same argument being used in our semi last season v Boston, IA?

    I did not see this one but I’ve still seen a fair few dismal displays this last season.
    Every side will have a real mare on occasion but we’ve had rather too many and often crossing over that – the promotion-wrecking draws need to be taken into account.
    Us away at Kidderminster is starting to look ever more likely.

    Listened to commentary. Two questions:
    1) How many times did Kelly lose possession?
    2) How many shots on target did we have?

    Yeovil: “Owner and his children receiving abuse so is now selling up.”
    I never attacked Hilton when he was in charge – not because I had even a single jot of trust or confidence in the man – but coz I was scared stiff of what might happen if he got fed up of the non-stop attacks on Bru from a great many fans.
    Best of luck, Yeovil.

    Sad if a fluke goal scuppers us.

    If there had been a bit more sense last Autumn with formations – we’d be looking back now at all of the teams scrambling for 2nd spot – quite possibly the best part of a dozen points behind us.
    Still, no use crying over spilt milk.
    The penny really seems to have dropped now with AB.
    I do not want to change manager.

    When I first saw Kelly play, on several occasions he played left CM. I liked what I saw.

    Beck has many good footballing qualities. It’s been said before but systems have to make some effort to work to his strengths.
