Bit harsh on McKenna, Sanfran. Done a brilliant job. Just fighting a losing battle with Championship players in a stitched up league. Burgess did okay for them last season I think. Or the season before?
Slight misunderstanding here – I meant the manager in charge when Cam was here. I think McKenna has done a great job I think some of those he gives an opportunity to are not 100% team players.

Conor still got the energy and great crosses. Cam Burgess – perhaps the manager did not do his job after all it takes 2.
Yates – well we could all see it and he learned his trade well with the loans. Now looks comfortable in whatever he does.

A statement score would do wonders on and off the pitch. We have the weapons but they seem reluctant to shock their opponents with.
Time to start the run in.

Until we have won it we haven’t won it.
100% concentration required for next 14 games. Stick to what is working and make them deal with us. Buckle up going to be interesting.

Biggest danger to us is US !

Strange. Played well for the most of the opening 10 games, few dodgy performances and his SUFC time is over?
Our recruitment since the takeover has been poor, only Rowley has made any impression and he’s barely featured. Desperately need Head of recruitment before the inflated Hilton contracts expire.
Some of our recruitment in recent seasons has not matched some of the players released.
If those released are not replaced by better players then why release those players – we have gained nothing and probably lost more.
Perhaps the powers that be should pay attention to comments from supporters. Can’t do any worse.

Good end to January, now for February and an early plus. All in the hands of the manager and players. Need 1 to stick to what is working and the players to want promotion.
16 games and each win puts more pressure on the others. One fact is the fans deserve promotion, their loyalty and support is first class at every game.

I find it more incredible that after reducing the debt down in such a short space of time that we now need a cash flow injection every month
What’s incredible about it? We’re getting reasonable sized crowds but they’re simply not big enough.
Now the board/club like so many other businesses will be subjected to an increase in our National Insurance contributions due to the October budget of the government.
Can see some players having decisions to make regarding future offers. It is going to be tough.

Be careful what you wish for. Michelle Harness was the only one who stepped forward and later than the 11th hour.
She has done an incredible job and I cannot imagine the hours she spent daily keeping bailiff after bailiff away. With the money raised by Iron Bru to pay wages giving a breathing space. Then the supporters came onboard and revenue streams established – it was a great effort by all. But again Michelle had that pressure from day 1 and thinking £1.8 million of debts she then with Roj, George and Ian they worked out a plan for day after day so perhaps she does need a breather.
But lets get rid of this word ‘Hostile’ I do believe she hinted that perhaps others may want to come on board and take on the challenge but they didn’t at the darkest times so never forget that. We do not want a club disunited ever again.

Leave formation alone and keep building on the stability and comfort for the players in that 433 system and we will be ok.
Get clever and go for a 3 or 5 back line can only see trouble. It means we are setting up to cope with them and not the reverse.

Up to Mr Butler now. 23 matches to go and does he want success ? As Iron64 says keep it simple and rounds in rounds. The 442 or 433 is the way to go and make opponents deal with us, when you listen to his post match interviews he seems to say we change to cope with opponents.
The next thing is try to reduce the number of changes in each game and create stability. Best to all for 2025.

Did seem an odd signing if you checked his stats from previous clubs.

It is now possible for us to enter 2025 top of the league.

His last prolific spell was 2022 – 23 at Darlington.
No point signing him if you don’t play to his strengths.
