Had you down as one of the two he got wrong Cass.
Your sources of inside information are about as poor as mine.

You can make as many excuses for Butlers stubbornness as you like Deery.
But he was wrong and anybody who’s ever kicked a ball in anger could see it.
If he wins his next 2 games he is an Iron managerial legend and I will cheer as loudly as anyone. It’s really difficult to deliver when you are favourites and have the biggest budget.

Agree WG. Don’t let anyone try to pretend this is hindsight.
Me and quite a few others were suggesting we did not have the players suited to 5 at the back while we were still playing pre season friendlies.
Check out the Chesterfield thread from last early August. Sticking with it almost to Christmas was the most stupid case of self inflicted damage since the Brexit vote.

Chorley average attendance is a couple of hundred higher than Kings Lynn and both a two hour drive away so would expect a few more away fans if it’s Chorley.
If we can’t beat either of them at home in front of circa 8000 then we don’t deserve promotion.

Strangely I think Butler would be a better fit in the National League if he was fortunate enough to stagger us over the line.
His overly cautious game plans and seemingly spending the vast majority of coaching time on defending is a better fit in a league where a mid table finish would be deemed a success. Getting clean sheets against teams that are better than you is an achievement.
If we remain in the NLN his reduced budget will likely cause an even further shift towards the defensive. Together with lower quality replacements for Roberts and Whitehall and it could be a tough season.
As Brackley and Tamworth have shown you win this league by consistently beating the teams you should beat. While a clean sheet is a more valued prize than scoring a goal the you’re not going to win the league.

I would swap Fish for a small battered haddock and would swap Beck for a corner flag so not really a fair comparison.
Wouldn’t swap him for Carlton though. Elliott is a reasonable finisher but a very poor footballer. He will find it tough again in NLN next season and he’s certainly not good enough for National League.

Usually middle of the week after the last game.
Time for a quick chat with each player – either this is the offer or thanks and goodbye. Then make it public Wednesday or Thursday.
