If anyone is bored have a count of how many non forward passes we make.
So sideways and backwards.

I watched one of our defenders t’other night in 2nd half, had full endeavour at half way line to stride forward with the ball.
Got 5 yards or so about turn and ball went backwards 20 yards.
Not just defenders though is it.

Not sure I agree with that.

On Tuesday night the defence spent most of the time hitting it long into the wide areas hoping Beags and Cleveland were still playing for us!

Sideways/back passes came about when Moors were pressing us (which they did pretty well). Though there was noticeably less “to me, to you” at the back than of late.

Not to mention the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous peoples.

The car keeps breaking down. I blame the garage for using cheap parts from China.

Shows that the American people have nothing to fear from zombies.

When our two central midfielders are built like Victorian street urchins putting us under pressure isn’t difficult.

Two in two games. Must be something in the air in County Durham!

Simply not good enough again.

If Whitehall is injured long term we are in big trouble.

Well Carlton showed that he’s no centre forward. He can’t head a ball and couldn’t trap a bag of cement. And when your two CMs can be pushed off the ball by a six year old, then you’re relying on the only two players with any footballing ability to work some sort of magic. Never going to happen tonight.

The Moors fans were right, “top of the league, you’re having a laugh”!

We literally gifted them two goals. What a shit-show.

Definitely need additions to freshen it up.

You say “given away a 9 point lead”.

Does he not deserve credit for getting that 9 point lead in the first place?

Yep! He got us a 9 point lead before the other managers sussed him out.

So those wise old heads like Johnson & Morley are able to bring their team of amateurs to AAGP and do a job on us.

Every fan wants managerial continuity but they want promotions and trophies too.

Prime example in the PL – Man Utd under Fergie compared to Man Utd since Fergie. All of those fans hoping the next appointment will be the right one. Isn’t that what we’ve been waiting for since Sir Nigel left?

Should be an easy league for us if we turn up for every game.

If we’d turned those five draws into wins we’d be ten points clear by now.

IF!

Absolutely no consistency as the last three games have shown.

If you appoint internally then you’ll always have someone who was part of last year’s problems.

We scored one last time but it was disallowed!

[Northumbiron]

Don’t want to start depressing people, but the last time we won on a Saturday was 17th of August!

[Northumbiron]

Holy Blues Batman!

Trinity come from 3-0 down to finish full-time 3-3 and extra time 4-4. Then win 5-4 on penalties. Some game!

Plus another brace for Howe.

“Offering him a new contract expecting a better outcome was ludicrous. It will need a long term strategy putting in place now. Far too many players not performing whether capable or not.”

Written today about Erik Ten Hag or yesterday about AB?

Now where have I heard that before?

[Northumbiron]

Yeah, at the time of the appointment I reckon most people sussed the reasoning.

Contract extension may end up a bit of a faux-pas. Gives the impression that the club is not serious about getting out of this league.

Some strange results last night. Chorley and Curzon both won after weekend defeats, and Hereford did the opposite. As above, suddenly it’s Chester who can’t score in a brothel after our goal drought ended.

Looks like any positive consistency of form will be the key in this league.
