Do we really need a 40 year old playing up front?

We’ve already got one that plays as if he’s forty.

[MK Iron]

Have you stolen Butler’s dice Cass?

[MK Iron]

Did you not hear Butlers interview.

Today’s shit show was down to one defensive error.

In the game I watched we created 2 or 3 opportunities against a team that would not make top half in NLN.

Rarely done this and it gives me no joy but the coaching team have to go.

Can’t find it either but if Cox is on duty I’ll stick with the Essex boy with the dodgy microphone.

[MK Iron]

I see Clark has done the honourable thing at the Monkey Hangers.
Watched their game earlier and they’re nearly as bad as us.

Butler said he was fit but needs to learn how to run differently.
Obviously managed to do that quite quickly then.

[MK Iron]

Have to suffer the Hornchurch commentary then.

[MK Iron]

Site is as slow as our back four today.

Rowley missing which is never a good thing.
Kick off is 17:30 UK time Rene – 45 minutes from now.

[MK Iron]

He will get at least 20 games. Even more if we’re clear of the bottom 6.
Michelle is too invested to act quickly.

If he’s any good at all he’s going to get game time in our midfield.
If he’s as bad as Rene expects he’ll be back in Stockport for Christmas.

[MK Iron]

Been intermittently slow for me for a couple of weeks.
Have assumed it’s because Matt is focusing on the new site.

Best side right now
Campbell
JB Evans Ashbee Horton
Butterfield Rowley Beestin
Jones Gale TSF

After an hour leave the back four and Rowley and bring on Hurst, Parker, Brennan, Bailey leaving whoever is doing best/looking strongest on.
Save one sub for injury/second yellow avoidance.

When he was properly ready for the first team in 2018 was played wide.

Barton Scorpions best mate Lee Novak was nailed on as centre forward delivering 9 goals and very little other contribution otherwise. Kyle managed 6 as a winger with no pace or trickery and the crowd on his back. We only like players when they come back for a second time.

Calm down folks. Even WG gives new players a game before they become the dogs bollocks or dog poo.

As he did again tonight. Hard to believe he’s only had 3 games of mens football at Farsley before coming here.

Let’s hope Bailey is another gem but I was hoping for a midfielder with a bit more experience.

What happened to the rumour about Whitehall going back to the US. Happy to contribute towards his fare.

[MK Iron]

No there just isn’t one.

Irons is a sometimes used nickname for West Ham.

A small but welcome step in the right direction yesterday. Sutton were fairly poor relying on dead balls and long throws to create anything.
They surrendered the midfield deliberately so we had time on the ball.
Not many teams in the National League play this way these days but credit to Evans, Ashbee and Campbell for dealing with their threats fairly well.

Lets see how we do on Wednesday against the best midfield in the division. They played us off the park in the first half of last seasons home game but we got amongst them physically in the second half and pinched a result.
Being physical in midfield is not the skillset of Butterfield, Beestin or Hurst so it could be a tough night.

How long is it going to be Until TSF is played on the right in place of Dec Howe ?. Hurst looked good as an attacking midfielder, but where does that leave Gale and Beestin ?

A good few yards ahead of Hurst. Don’t get carried away with one good finish.
Easy game for midfielders today against a Sutton team that decided to just vacate the area. Hurst did OK today and showed great energy and commitment but he is still just our 5th best wide player.

I think his natural position is playing off a big and nasty and we don’t have one of those.

Whitehall only meets half of the criteria.

Big ‘ead?

No, nasty.

[MK Iron]

We don’t have any other midfielders. I would have started with Beestin instead of Hurst but he did OK.

Good point Les. Sutton were as poor as Solihull.

Still a wins a win.

Been saying:
1. 4 at the back
2. Players in their natural position
3. Campbell should be given a go

But what do fans know about anything.

The more worrying thing is we played the game with only one competent midfielder. More worrying still is that he’s the only fit competent midfielder in the squad.
Time will tell if Richards can double that number once he’s fit. Early signs were not overly promising.
Who else is a genuine midfielder? We have some decent 10’s, Butterfield, Beestin and according to the Yorkshire Pep we have Gayle. But no other 6’s or 8’s.

Butlers only unquestionably successful recruitment in the past has been in midfield with Rowley, Westbrooke and Ewing but he seems to have overlooked that area this summer.

One thing was obvious from tonight was that Hurst and TSF are not midfielders. Against a pretty poor U-21 outfit. Nothing derogatory intended against those players – they are actually wingers.

I would love to have Fitz back of course but sadly it’s really not our biggest problem right now. Butler needs to knock on some doors that are somewhere other than Hull or Doncaster and find a couple of Ryan Yates lookalikes in on loan.

Last thought. Things I never thought I would say. Campbell is the best goalie currently at the club.

[MK Iron]

And he’ll get until Christmas or when crowds drop below 3,000 – whichever comes first.

The second option probably less likely given the level of season tickets.

[MK Iron]

Unless there is a very obvious lack of effort booing a home player is totally unacceptable. Abuse beyond that is never acceptable.

Barrows can never be accused of lack of effort.

Last word on Neil Young before I get banished to non football.
He’s been fairly prolific for over 60 years so there is a bit of weird and depressing stuff in there.
Check out the album Harvest WG. Made when he was a lot younger and a bit more optimistic about the world.
If you don’t like that one then go back to Celine.

[MK Iron]

Who is Celine Dion and can she play in goal?

[MK Iron]

Indeed I-A.

I’m not yet in the Butler out camp yet by the way however frustrating he can be.

I have downloaded the brochure though.
