    Any chance will be down to AB and what mood he adopts !

    In Forum prediction league I always go an IRON win whenever, so will be seen if his optimism matches mine.

    Give him until 10 games. If this crap hasn’t gotten better by then he needs sacking.

    Agree with the 10. If he hasn’t turned it round and I do not mean 7 draws then he should resign.

    Just an observation re squad assembly. Many said last season the Goalkeeper position needed resolving.
    How many were surprised when Mr Campbell was given a new contract ?

    If we win today (IF) then we will be 1-1-1 and on 4 points and more than likely mid-table.

    Things will not be looking so gloomy then.

    Yes – IF

    Will our mastermind be proactive or reactive ?

    What will be will be. Was always a big fan of home grown and Levi leaving was a huge loss just like Kyle Wootton [BS didn’t like him either].

    But today would rather prefer a younger player who wants an opportunity.

    Looks like a good idea and has potential. Let’s see how it works out.

    Actually he has recently passed away.

    Last thursday Mr Butler said he would be here on Monday. That he was player no.24 in total and that was it.

    Let us see.

    Whitehall got some crap service yesterday…………..I thought Whitehall’s play improved when Butterfield and Gale came on. Principally because one of the centre backs then had to plug the holes that Gale kept popping up into. Beestin should have been doing this. The management team got it wrong asking him to defend Westbrooke rather than let him play his more natural game!

    So the 1st game and the set up is to deal with them ? Targeting yields mediocrity.

    Open at home for 1st game, gate of 5111 and it should have been a simple instruction – get at them as quickly as possible at every opportunity but nothing learned from last season I fear.

    Leaving 5 mins early was a big Bartonscorpion trait, some may recall. Some just can’t be arsed with the 15-20mim car park exit. I get it but wouldn’t want to do it.

    Well remembered, he didn’t like it when Kyle did well. He used to drive all over supporting the Iron.

    Hated over elaboration in passing and tactics – would imagine there would be many utterings today.

    Already in it and looking forward to it.

    As usual despite any Butler tactics masterclass I will never predict a league defeat – I know ‘a fool and his predictions soon thwarted’ .

    Hope we can get a few more this season. Remember it is not just the predicting it actually supports the financial cost for Matt.

    If one is not an ‘Insider’ will one be allowed to be really engaged with the thought processes of Mr Butler.

    So long as it’s not bronze etc, or it’ll go the same way as the memorial to the 28 who died on June 1st 1974.

    Thank you for saying this Alcazar. The flight of Mallards was a fitting tribute to my colleagues.

    Lawrie McMenemy turned him down but Jack Brownsword saw potential and the rest as they say is history.

    Jack mentored him well and taught him never to forget where he came from and appreciate everything.
    Became a role model. RIP Kevin.

    Could be a thanks but no thanks to that right back, seem to think he did the same with another trialist last season.
    If that the case than ok.

    Respect to you but with so many RB’s on the books what is the point.
    Get someone in who plays in a role that we could be short in.

    That 5 or more at the back will happen – you can sense he has not learned a thing !

    And yes why another Right Back ? There must be other trialists in anything but RB wanting an opportunity.

    We were 2 up at half time. Evans and Barrows – lost of nearlies.
    Sembie-Ferris and the Roberts for the equaliser.

    2nd squad changed on 60 mins, Roberts equalised on 62 mins. !

    Not there just got this from ‘X’.

    There’s also this “tap a goal kick to the keeper” tactic that’s emerged. Just because you can do it now doesn’t mean you have to. If our NL players see either of these things and try to copy, forgetting they’re NL for a reason, it’s just a disaster waiting to happen. As somebody said earlier ” if the ball is in the opposition half they’re unlikely to score.”

    The late Ron Ashman used to say pre-match “If we have the ball in their penalty area they cannot score in our goal”.

    And our passing over recent seasons has not been of a consistent acceptable standard. That must be our aim if we want to move up the leagues.

    TT said they set up as a 442 yet the journo’s say it was a 4231.

    The one country who caused Argentina problems was Cabo Verde and they played a 442.
    Tuchel subs were shocking and negative, it invites trouble and they got it.

    Don’t rate TT as a manager, never did.
