Every week we have subs by numbers and concede. What are stats people for ffs.

Another great result however one tiny gripe…. today (and in past) we have made changes and changed the game in a negative way. I get the need to save the players but we were in complete control, Pools were just running around without the ball and I don’t think anyone broke sweat on the Scunny side…until the changes. Only a very minor gripe but if we had stayed the same we might have had a clean sheet which would’ve been most welcome. Overall cannot complain with an 11 point gap from outside the playoffs. We have a difficult period coming up but I think we play a lot better against the top teams. Ewing and Roberts best players in the league.

Every week. Same at Woking.

Too many subs. Yet again the goalie gets the blame for conceding four. Not one mention of crap defenders on this match or the previous two matches. Conceded eight goals and the only comment on this site has been it was a bad back pass last week. All today it was about Boyce coming back and how he would sort it out. Pity his sorting out only last for 85 mins!!

Correct. Horton off game’s gone. Substitution by numbers.

His post match interview he appears to have had a ‘debate’ with a fan.
I get him defending the team but he needs to pare back in his interaction with fans. Coming into winter with key players weeks away (Butler’s assessment) the last thing we need is a big drop off in attendances.
For me Butler needs to change his strategy in game management, he has however said he is not changing anything but you need to adapt when your best 4 players are out and the back up players are just not good enough.

His game management and temperament are appalling. Also why has he had no media training ?

Kings Lynn to score first and the Iron to run in 6.

[NorthWestIron]

Morecambe to score first, followed by 6 iron strikes.

[NorthWestIron]

It was a near perfect corner it seemed.

This is an atrocious example of the sexist attitudes demonstrated by today’s far right.

Didn’t Wraith have a dog called sniffer, and so appointed Clarke when possible ? He was an arrogant wanker.

We did have a proper striker 64 but unfortunately he was out injured for a lot of the season.
And the replacements Michelle and Butler brought in were and are pretty shite.

This compounds the fact that Butler and his assistant need to pack their bags at season close. Appalling management, recruitment and general decision making.

Why ? Because they scored a goal ?

Fylde in NLN next season.

Fylde no threat, just down the road from me. Terrible mismanagement and super skint.

A half competent manager would have moulded and nurtured a solid team,with a winning mentality. Butler has failed at every hurdle, proved deeply unlikeable, and unable to show contrition and admit mistakes. This is where the largest problems lay.

It seems I’m in the minority, but I didn’t find it particularly earth shattering. I also think Stephen Graham is an exceptionally lucky man,to receive the continual plaudits he does. An average actor, probably lauded,as he is a working class scouser.

[NorthWestIron]

There must be a conciliatory way to sort matters out. Losing fans, income and goodwill is not the way forward unless in extreme circumstances.

[NorthWestIron]

Thanks mate

[NorthWestIron]

Cmon lads, help a brother out here. Gracias

[NorthWestIron]

The threat of sponsors pulling out is a big deal. Can’t see this thing happening.

This is all about the man who sends them out against Chester.

Players are either bouncing or tippy tappy.

This is where he earns his brass.

[NorthWestIron]

Due to atrocious recruitment, and poor striking options, I can only see a scraped draw, or close defeat. Brace yourselves lads, 0-2, 1-2, or 1-1.

I hope we get somebody else in on loan. To be fair, he looked a bit portly.

A bit pot kettle that Burney.

I was interested to learn, from Saturdays RH stint, that he lives somewhere near Immingham. If he’s settled there it might be only The Cods that could tempt him to move. (Assuming, of course, that we make him a sensible/realistic offer to stay)

Not league standard imo.

It seems we only use 5 subs to “manage the game” although Butler insists his subs influence the game. Both subs last night were due to injuries. Hard to see how Williams & Fedora could have influence being unused, an ideal situation for 20 minutes of Mo I’d’ve thought.

Why doesn’t Schofield offer input when these obvious adjustments aren’t made. Headscratcher.

Schofield almost took exception a couple things during the post-match interview with Ollie on BBC Humberside, but all in all he was balanced and philosophical and relatively good-humoured.

“Balanced, philosophical and good humoured” – you missed out delusional!
Overall the game was even – B******s!! We were completely outplayed.
We had the best chances to score – I must have missed all the chances we had that were better than 2 free headers in front of goal from inside the 6 yard box.

It’s become apparent that we are little more than flat track bullys. Wins have disguised poor performances against poor teams in recent weeks. PE Teacher Andrew has not been able to create a team who show dominance against the better teams, and frankly we haven’t played well for some time. Relying on Roberts, who seemed last night to be playing inside, masks poor recruitment, bad game management, and increasingly baffling decisions.

I will of course be delighted if we beat Chester on Saturday, but remain unconvinced by some distance.
