    Halle fecking lujah.

    Won’t relax until it’s done but it’s the first good news from the club for 5 years.

    Let’s face it. There is only 1 question we all want the answer to.

    Until then the club remains in the twilight zone.

    Neil and Lee cannot answer that question.

    Since the friendly with Sheffield United Daniels has been poor wherever he has played.This includes the one home game where he played left back.

    Vvery brave of the Iran team to blank their National anthem.

    Potentially much greater consequences than a yellow card.

    I think neither got it right.

    2 crap teams that due to the others incompetence each managed to create 4 good chances. They scored 2 of theirs and we missed all 4 of ours.

    We played a bit more football on isolated occasions whilst they picked up almost every loose ball in midfield (of which there were many).

    Both managers should be very concerned about their teams.

    As opposed to one of our previous managers Death Knill.

    Squirrel killer.

    The £250.000 rumoured to be needed was supposedly to pay wages, hardly a credible rumour the days of us paying wages of £250.000 a month are long gone.

    Usually when football clubs become insolvent HMRC is the main creditor. Much of the 250k is probably owed to them.

    Probably Shell then. Or Royal Dutch Shell as they were called until earlier this year.

    Need to spend a bit of their £8bn profits from the last quarter before Rishi hits them with a windfall tax.

    Rumours of a sale are a bit like taking a 3-0 lead against Solihull Moors.

    You can’t stop getting a little bit excited even though deep down you know it will end in shit.

    Sadly the fact we remain overwhelming favourites for relegation at a price way shorter than any of the other incompetent National League sides suggests the bookies know what is coming.

    If the odds were being based on recent results we would be priced in the same ball park as the other 5 or 6 clubs around us.

    The bookies do get it wrong but not very often.

    Administration or liquidation is looming very large. Thanks Peter.

    It’s a much easier game from a few rows back.

    They stuck with 5 at the back. Wallace at wing back who tried hard but struggled not surprisingly.

    The Heed were decent in midfield but shite upfront so we got away with it.

    Got bullied and out fought for 30 minutes but credit to the team they stepped up physically and made a game of it.

    The handball for the first penalty looked a foot outside the box from my angle but who cares.

    Scruffy, bitty win but the team deserved it.

    Can we just stop handing every team a freebie at the start?

    Fair enough to the management team – looking like they are giving 4-4-2 a go.

    What could possibly go wrong?

    Plenty of room for social distancing at Glanford Park tonight.

    Hope you are right and not just taking the piss.

    I know its early for doom and gloom but if we don’t win 2 or 3 games before January the we are well and truly trussed.

    This looks the easiest opportunity.

    Interesting pictures but probably more to the point is all but one of the clubs are still in business.

    Wimbledon had to reform of course but only Stand Athletic has disappeared permanently. They are the only club I had never heard of and operated at a fairly low level.

    Many of the clubs have shiny new stadiums to play in so their supporters are probably nostalgic but not too disappointed.

    Darlington are an exception in that they got the shiny new stadium but have ended up sharing a rugby ground.

    Hope we still have a club and somewhere to play when our ownership saga reaches its inevitable conclusion.

    Swann has had some decent managers in place. Some with very decent records both before they got here and after they left.

    Suspect they had the audacity to think they knew more about football than a certain other figure at the club.

    Alexander perhaps the biggest conundrum. Always seems to get sacked when his teams are in a reasonable position. Oh to be the position he left us in.

    I think we have 4 areas where we don’t have the right calibre of player cover.

    We don’t have a goalkeeper suitable for the situation the team has been in for the last 4 seasons. It is OK for comfortably mid table sides to risk a young inexperienced keeper but not if you are continually at the bottom of the league.

    We don’t have a credible centre half to fill in injuries or suspensions for the two we have – that assumes giving Taft the benefit of the doubt.

    We have no forwards to cover Nuttall and Lavery. We also have to accept Lavery has done nothing since scoring a very good goal on his debut.

    We have no wide players which means we rarely get decent supply to the front 2 and pretty much stops us playing 4-4-2 which at this level gives struggling sides the best chance of a clean sheet.

    We have 3 left backs although in the cup game we decided to play neither of them in that position.

    In midfield we have Butterfield supported by about 10 others none of whom have shown yet that they are good enough.

    When Nuttall and Apter go in January I cannot see us getting another point let alone a win or a clean sheet.

    Embarrassing, sad and so so predictable.

    More points in the prediction league for that result than the team have managed all season.

    Nuttall up front on his own.

    Bizarre tactics to try and Wilcox a 0-0 with our defensive record.

    I think I’m right in saying Daws has played 4 at the back twice and they are the 2 games he has lost.

    I think we play 3 centre backs often because we don’t have the confidence in any 2 of them.

    I would prefer to stick with 2 and put a defensive midfield in front of them. Rowe, Pugh or Gallimore could do that job.

    Always feel playing 3 at our level allows them to shirk responsibility for covering their man. I’m convinced we allow more free headers in the box when we play with 3.

    Are you referring to it’s more sporadic frequency of appearances NI?

    If you are I feel you are being a bit harsh as it still appears far more frequently than Jordan.

    I don’t blame the lads for not doing one every week. There is only so many things you can say about the shitshow that is our once proud club.

    Perhaps we could invite a music critic and a food critic on to rate the pre-match experience. More interesting than the football these days.
