We certainly want league 2 quality players, a couple of Bishop and Dawson type players and a prediter to play with Loft would be a start, a lot of players need to go and we don’t want a summer of signing anymore non league players unless from National League Premier, a smaller squad to pay for better players.

[mistertonmick]

but Tottenham won’t be scared of Forest Green, Morecambe, Stevenage and a few others.

[mistertonmick]

if we had a team of Premier standard we would still play backs to the wall negative football.

[mistertonmick]

It’s very rare for a player to renew a contract here unless they are young players.

Who when he has played as been one of the best.

[mistertonmick]

I said a couple of days ago we are relying on other clubs to keep us up, and after 2 years ago I won’t be happy until we are safe.

We just don’t look like a team playing as a singular unit at all. And I thought Cox had made us more solid at the back? Our defending is embarrassing, especially from set pieces!

though he played well today it’s strange that when Rory is in goal the defence is all over the place and we have started conceding goals for fun like early season, though it was the defence and not Rory today.

[mistertonmick]

Another shocking performance and the result flattered us, but for some terrible defending for their last 2 goals we could have won it, Watson made some good saves including a penalty but possibly could have done better with the third goal, but our defending from set pieces was comical at times, very disappointing seeing we turned around with possibly our only 2 efforts on target, first half we were terrible and they had corner after corner, a big sort out is needed and Cox won’t be happy.

[mistertonmick]

but Cox hasn’t had the faith in our players to play real attacking football so he says.

[mistertonmick]

we are about safe but we technically more relying on other teams beating Southend and Grimsby than us getting 5 points on our own.

[mistertonmick]

the club needs building around Jem he certainly cares, it’s OK taking the cheap option at the start of a season but it might cost more in January to get away from the bottom than getting a decent team to start with, just need a smaller squad to get costs down.

Thames A.F.C. is correct NI but that wasn’t the question!

well what was the question he didn’t answer, Thames FC played at the West Ham Stadium which held 120,000, I was only reading a article about them a few weeks ago.

[mistertonmick]

he was given a crap hand with the summer signings, but all the players last night including subs were either signed by Cox or were here the previous season apart from Spence who might have been signed before he arrived.

[mistertonmick]

Cox not a happy bunny with some of his players by his interview with Mike White

[mistertonmick]

I notice by the stats that they only had four shots on target.

[mistertonmick]

also if you are paying for a loan player if you don’t play him you aren’t getting value for money, apart from the fact he has played well.

[mistertonmick]

now 12.30 so not a big problem

[mistertonmick]

I am surprised he hasn’t been given a chance on the bench.

Your match day post was hijacked straight away and went downhill from there Mick.

I don’t start the matchday thread for myself I start it for Matt because he is busy at the moment, normally he would start it himself so if he forgets I or sometimes someone else will start it because putting it all on one thread saves a lot of space on the server which over time will fill up and will cause issues in the future, generally people stick to it but UTI99 only stated something that everyone was replying to in the other thread it wasn’t something different, other clubs use a matchday thread for the same reason and others use a summer transfer thread for the same reason and pin it to the top or you soon get pages of rumours.

And why not post it in the match day thread like Matt wants people to use to save disc space.

[mistertonmick]

Enjoyed the game today and everyone put a good shift in and we deserved a point, I don’t think we had a man of the match but I would give everyone a 7, nobody played badly and seeing we had a patched up team and possibly a couple of players maybe wouldn’t have started and normally two more might have come off injured but stuck it out I have nothing but praise for the effort, even Rory kept a clean sheet and made one good save from a corner, was pleased with the referees performance seeing they were trying to get penalties but he wasn’t having it, no idea what was up with Eisa but it was great to see Joe Murphy back here and just a pity there wasn’t a crowd to give hive a ovation.

I think it’s the other 50 of the 50/50 Northumbiron.

gutted for you IK.

[mistertonmick]

Though to be honest I don’t think he said or could say any different to be truthful.

[mistertonmick]

Loft is 50/50 but Taft may be available, Hallam is out, Clarke very doubtful.

[mistertonmick]

6 isn’t unusual for us but it’s been like it all season, all teams get injuries but tell me any team who have had more.

Have you seen that Mansfield Town are giving all their season ticket holder’s a new 21/22 third strip shirt as a gift for supporting them through this season.

[mistertonmick]

Up to the start of the season I had seen every league game at Glanford Park or Sands Venue, but with my age and at the moment problems with my eyesight I probably won’t be going back anyway, I would be very happy to watch it on iFollow if it is offered to people over a certain age or if you have medical problems and I can see something like that happening next season all through football, because getting money into clubs through iFollow is better than people stopping going or watching altogether.
