    I respect your opinion and thanks for pointing out that I am wrong.

    A mistake yes but we all make those. Only my view but forgivable if the intention is good.

    Infantino type mistakes where financial gain for oneself and ones cronies is a perfect example of the unforgivable type.

    Are you guys being a bit harsh.

    They probably did the wrong thing (certainly it’s not worked out) but I suspect they did it with the best of intentions.

    They might communicate with the membership to gauge support levels before they go out on a limb next time.

    Most of his options are at right back and left wing.

    Worryingly short of centre back and midfield cover.

    Mind you we’re now playing a formation that doesn’t use right backs or left wingers.

    Makes sense on planet Butler.

    Not to mention we’re down to our last 3 right backs. Mind you he’s playing left wingers there at the minute.

    We’ll not be thinking it’s a big squad if Evans picks up an injury or suspension in the next 4 weeks or so.

    Knew he’d had a decent game but needed to see the highlights to realise how involved he was in our better moments.
    Well played Tyler and keep it going.

    Butler might finally have found one of the wing backs to fit his favourite system.
    Not so sure yet about the other one.

    I think the ongoing knee issue impacted his industry which was one of his strongest assets.
    Much more energetic on Friday than at any point last season.
    He can play a good pass when he doesn’t have time to think about it. When he has time panics a bit and goes safe – backwards or sideways.
    Of course it’s a bit easier to play forward when there’s a bit of movement up front.

    Probably time to have an extra forum just for Rene?

    I think he looks at least as fit as when he was here last time. He covered some ground on Friday and was not fading when he was subbed.
    The quick turnaround for tomorrow’s game might take its toll but I’d still be looking for an hour from him if he’s feeling OK.

    Gale also sometimes gets a free kick when he gets hauled over.
    Mind you he does wait for the contact before hitting the deck unlike our usual centre forward.

    They were spirited and energetic but were not very good at actual football.
    We matched their workrate and played a bit of football as well.
    Entertaining game though I agree as it usually is when both teams have a go.

    That centre forward he brought in who is not a centre forward does look very promising as a centre forward though.

    Well I predicted 2-1 but the idiot brought on our best player from our first 3 games and he ruined my prediction in the few minutes he was allowed and went and scored.

    Delighted with the win but we won’t be playing many teams as bad as Solihull were last night.

    Let’s hope Butler gets lucky again with his darts or dice that he picks the team with.

    Either that or he’s got his lucky dice out again.

    With you on that one Awaywego. Some tempo, committment and at least a hint of a plan would be great.

    Watched second half of Boreham Wood and Boston last night and the Wood played some football of a quality we could but dream of.

    Hurst tried to nil his way to victory (remind you of anyone?) and as a neutral I was pleased to see football won the day.

    Add WG to the list!

    On a more serious note our chairperson seemed on good form. One of her best interviews. I agree with the comment regarding Ollie. He’s too good for his current gig as a commentator and an interviewer.

    Better than many of the donkeys on Sky Sports and TNT. Not to mention Darzone.

    Probably a coincidence we’ve never had a decent quality training pitch.

    Alcy and IFA certainly not listening to her opinion on football managers.

    Ogle injured according to Butler which is why I suggested Starbuck.
    Dents or Horton not fussed either way although I think Horton is more aggressive going forward when he plays full back.
    I would give Gale a shot right sided forward rather than Hurst otherwise agree.
    Obviously no chance Andy will do any of that.
    Slightly concerned about Pat Jones. Love his directness but final cross or shot has been lacking any quality so far and he’s had a few chances now.

    Not only Cass who’s quicker off the mark than me. Totally agree BLT.

    How about giving JB a run in his natural position. Horton has looked nervy this season and had a bit of a mare last Saturday at full back.
    Could also probably benefit from a run in his natural position.
    Assuming Starbuck is going to get a run at right back that would give us some decent pace and energy to support Evans across the back line.

    Even more worrying bottom club at home but we’ve spent extra training time working on nullifying their threats and the main focus is clean sheet our way to victory.

    Always one to give praise as well Simon. Been a bit tricky this season but I did suggest Beestin, Butterfield and Gale put in OK performances last Saturday.

    Is that where you go to be sick after another 90 minutes with 3 efforts on goal?

    Agree Awaywego.

    Carlisle away on a Bank Holiday is a doozy. Trains or by car give an equally high chance of delays. Coupled with our sparkling form it’s enough for me to knock that trip on the head.

    I don’t recall us playing any better than awful against the Moors let alone beat them.

    Time for a change?

    Crowd will be interesting.

    It doesn’t usually take long for the 2,000 fickle section of our recent 5,000 crowds to start abandoning ship.

    Will we make 4,000?
