5 at the back with the midfield dropping deep. Hoof the ball up to a 2 man forward line including a 17 year old making his first start.
What the feck could go wrong Keith?
Shut the door on your way out.

Interesting no former League clubs in the National League South. The north south divide applies to football clubs as well?

If I was a Halifax fan, or player, it manager I would be delighted to be playing Scunthorpe on Monday.

You are correct WG but that does not excuse anonymous personal abuse on social media.
With very few exceptions football players do not get injured on purpose and there is a fair element of luck involved in the amount and scale of injuries they get.
Having said that both Hallam and Nthle must have doubts they can get fit enough to continue as professional footballers given the repetitive nature of their injuries.
I have sympathy for them both. However, they do have contracts which have to be paid up should they leave so it is not as simple as getting rid of the pair and using the salary for replacements.

I saw it as well Jackie. It was on Twitter. It had video and audio.
Dammed clever this technology stuff these days.

Like all property and/or businesses it is worth whatever someone is prepared to pay for it.
Often that is rather less than the owners valuation.

Yes that was a good watch as well.
It struck me watching both yesterdays Premiership games what the game plan has to be whenever you play a team that has better players than you. You can’t let them settle on the ball and you must maintain a forward threat. Leeds did both for the whole game and Newcastle tried to do it but ran out of steam a little bit.
If you dont press the back 4 and the midfield the defenders start hitting decent passes and the midfield are able to find space. Against poorer teams and if you have a decent defence you might get away with it but not against a bit of quality.
As we demonstrated once again on Saturday we never do this. The back four steps back 10 yards and the midfield sit on their toes. Decent sides then use the freedom of the park to murder you as Solihull showed.
Nuttall had bullied their centre backs for an hour but then was knackered. He should have been replaced by Carver at that point to keep the pressure on their centre backs. At the very least Carver should have joined Nuttall to share the workload. Beeston stepped up to provide a threat to them and was promptly replaced while Butterfield and Feeney were no longer providing any threat. Was Beeston substituted because he was pushing forward?
I don’t know if we do this because Hill tells them to do it or we are just not fit enough or resilient enough to play on the front foot for 90 minutes.
My biggest problem with Cox was that he actually had the team starting games like this.
What we have seen of the National League so far suggests the biggest difference relative to Leagues 1&2 is a lower quality of defending. It does seem though virtually any team is capable of scoring a goal or two.
The way forward for me is to press teams for 90 minutes. Score a goal and repeat if you can until the final whistle goes.
This managing the game malarkey does not work in this league – certainly not with a defence like ours.

City are great to watch if a team is prepared to take them on like Newcastle did yesterday. It is when sides play the 2 banks of 5 to keep the score down that they get very tedius to watch. Passing for passing sake is really dull – not that I blame City. They just keep the ball and wait for the inferior sides to make mistakes.
Personally I love the way Liverpool play simply because they play their game their way whatever the opposition do and just try to score a goal. When they succeed they try and score another one. I am old enough to remember when Manure used to do that.

Given our record of helping teams end a losing run I think the Halifax game is our least likely 3 points out of the next 7 games.

Hope he goes to the board of directors and requests relieving Hill of his duties and taking the roll himself as well as being acting chairman, if anyone could get the players on board it would be him, comes across as being in the same mould as Adkins.
Why not stick a broom up his backside and he can clean Glanford Park while he is at it?

Young Wallace is the other sub

Got to agree with Deery on this one. The only thing that matters is when we have a either a club statement confirming change of ownership or an announcement by new owners. Anything up to that point is speculation even (or perhaps especially) if it is based on something the elephant in the room has said.
Fans of the club have 2 realistic choices. We either take solace that Mr Swann seems no longer to take part in the day to day running of the club and get behind those trying to rescue it from its deathbed or we have nothing to do with the club until new ownership is confirmed.
If you are in the second category then why are you wasting your time on here?
I am fed up with the whole sad saga and would prefer to not hear or read another word on the subject until proper confirmation is out in the public domain. Just look at our fishy friends down the road – it may take some time.

Early days I know but.
Helped in part by easy wins against the Iron those 2 small clubs are in the top 5.
The team we beat is in the relegation zone.

Best commentary moment so far from Nigel. Taft attempts a pass. “When you see a pass like that you wonder if he has his boots on the right feet”.
The gentleman that he is he followed up with “not being disrespectful”
