Neil came here making us all believe that he wanted to play exciting attacking football with a 4-4-2 formation, but after having Mr sit back at all costs Russ with him last season I think he still thinks this sit back and get pummeled approach will eventually work here yet even Graham Alexander failed when he tried it after Lucketti left and Neil McDonald joined him and he then got sacked for failure and a string of poor results with a good squad of players.

Let’s hang on to what we’ve got
Don’t let go until we’ve got a lot
Got a lot of points between us

That would be classed as a gamble, the lads are used to sitting deep and relying on breakaways and luck and hopefully someone can hit the target for a change, so don’t expect any sudden change to a losing formation

our next records we can easily beat is number of consecutive defeats and consecutive home games without a goal.

Our worst nightmare.

We wasn’t a million miles worse than them, but it’s the same tactics every home game and we set up like the away team, we had chances but only one brought a great save, they got a dubious penalty and poor defending gifted them the second, whether Rory could have cut the cross out I am not sure but again we don’t put real pressure on their defense until 2 goals down, Cox with his swapping about to suit the opposition is responsible for not having a settled team, though I understand there was illness that caused some of the changes, though I have to admit that was one of the worst refereeing performances I have seen, how that wasn’t a red card by Matte on Davis I will never know, they got a very soft penalty but if our players went down under tackles he waved play on.
Something needs changing and I don’t think the loan signings bring anything to the team when the young lads were doing OK.
At least we can’t get lower in the league.4 users thanked author for this post.
Uptheiron99 have you thought about doing a podcast with the 2 Matts and Brad, I am sure it would be a very interesting listen

Hey, look at the positives. We drew the second half.
some good starting to try when you are 5 down

He should resign for his own sake, we need new blood running it and send the loanees back as well and make do with the lads

UPI99 what will your comments be about the Chairman if he becomes the first one to get us relegated out of the league, and at the moment it is looking very likely because the manager won’t try anything different to get us out of this mess, we will have done our homework on Harrogate but they don’t need to do any on us because we don’t do anything anything any different, all we do is sit back and rely on breakaways and then we rarely get a shot on target, so unless we have been practicing shooting instead of how to nullify certain opposition players we will get the same result.

But we can still concede for fun

This last three and a bit seasons have been a disaster, if Peter Swann wants to go it might be better if he went because I know us fans are fed up with watching this dull football every week and the only entertainment is from the opposition, it’s not as though we are getting points by playing it.
Just over three years ago we had been in the playoffs twice with a near miss on the last day, since then we have had poor squads and now we are cannon fodder in league 2 with very little fight.
We either need a manager to make us into the exciting attacking side we were promised, or the Chairman needs to renew his season ticket, come to games to see how bad we are, technically the players we have should be OK but on match day they don’t deliver.

Every performance is the same, we huff and puff first half and we conceded early today and usually it’s just before half time, but after the halftime team talk we just fall to pieces, and again hardly a shot on target, 1 today.
I thought after last season more effort would have been put in this season to get a better team but again with extra injuries and style of play and lightweight players the lack of attacking football is killing the club.
it’s about time we got loan players who are better than the kids who could have played.

Has UTI99 resigned, though he would be a good candidate

A couple of players who can lift the team, make things happen and most importantly, stay fit would make all the difference
I’m reminded of something Laws said on the Bru podcast interview, along the lines of the fact that he’d been spreading his budget fairly evenly for years but, at the start of the 04/05 season, he realised that spending a few more quid on a good keeper could make far more difference than spending that money elsewhere. Result? In came Musselwhite and along with a couple of other shrewd (and experienced) signings, the defence was transformed from the one that nearly cost us our League status the previous season.
plus Baraclough.

They might not fold but maybe drop down a league or two, and like Bury have to ground share with another non league team like Gainsborough Trinity
