Stop targeting. Go out to win all games. Make substitutions when needed not when the tech devices say they have run 10 foot more than they should have type rubbish.

And the biggest need when you read so many comments – Learn how to pass a ball.

[Sanfran49]

The decision may be a meeting of the minds.

[Sanfran49]

This fickleness started when Barrie Thomas was sold and sadly it has remained so.

Don’t know how it can be stopped.

[Sanfran49]

I remember this out rhetoric on several previous occasions Lewis Butroid – how many seasons did it take to replace, Kyle Wootton – remember all the comments, well what happened the moment he got to Notts county, which so happens was a division above where we are. And now scoring regularly in Div 1. Tom Pugh – went to Hereford on loan became there midfield controller, comes back here hardly gets a game now at Halifax, admittedly not a regular starter but usually in the squad. Shrimps went to Spennymoor last season and playing in a position every week made a huge contribution.

Thought Jimmy D’s were purgatory towards the end. Usually Mr Butler says they will have a lot to look at ! Got to the point don’t listen to them.

A few managers back the then incumbent knew we would not be relegated. He had the opportunity to play entertaining football for the last 6 matches yet opted to bore the fans with 352 and lose matches – as a result the gates fell. The next season they did not return. This club has had some of the most fickle of fans, if someones attitude does not change some of those who have returned to help the club will have a rethink.

Said before it is not the defeats that are the problem, it is the attitude of the team when it happens.

Yes. Lack of first half urgency, passing accuracy, creativity.

The passing ability over the last few seasons has been average at best. Seems this basic is not important. For me it shows a laziness and poor attitude.

[Sanfran49]

After 9 league games could not say. Another 5/6 will show if formation tweaks coupled with round pegs in square holes continues then future not good. Need to settle on a formation that players are comfortable with and stick with it.

I do think targeting is back and that is a bad sign.

[Sanfran49]

Only 1 division below so a possibility. A former acad player now at Liversedge – Jack Dyche, tough battler and can finish and thought it was a silly release at that time.

If player changes have to be made to try and make a system work it means the system is wrong. Then making those 7 changes for the previous cup game was wrong and the momentum seems to have been lost.

I accept defeats happen, I also understand we must win the league but the moment you hear ” After 9 league games if someone said we have 20 pts and 3 pts clear at the top…..” is said our aims have changed. We should be trying to win EVERY game.

But let us see what happens over the next 6 games.

The more initiatives the better. Not all of them will be liked by some so people can choose what they want. Whatever helps the club is good.

They will need to be up for it on Saturday because Guiseley will chase everything.

But I note the same bad habit is back, so many are commenting about poor passing. I do not understand that and attitudes need changing. It is a basic must.

Harry Lewis back at Cleethorpes Town.

[Sanfran49]

At least it gives a little bit of money to the two teams involved and you see some interesting games.
Plus a young player may get spotted so I think it is good.

They did score 5, they also conceded 2 whereas we recorded a clean sheet.

In our 5 last night it allowed some others more input up front and scored the goals which hopefully boosts their confidence.

FA Cup. Won’t be televised, will it?

Keep an eye on Freeview 601 they put such games on but they are usually with 12.15 / 12.30 ish kick off times. They are a bit basic – 1 camera perhaps 2 on mic’s and the odd replay but that is not guaranteed.

[Sanfran49]

How many would have not travelled if they knew he was changing 7 players ?

For decades this club has some of the most fickle fans, I don’t know why but we do. So after all the recent trauma people have been working together and gates are on the up, So why put it at risk ? A cup run is vital, you play your strongest team and get the job done. Want to do 7 changes then arrange a kickabout.

Ground capacity they say is 4000 with 300 seats.

Sixerite – Alfie Beestins fitness problems were put down to recurring bouts of Covid, although it was not recorded as Long Covid. He was more susceptible but the bouts reduced which allowed him a proper pre-season with a bit extra added for him to help.

A good monthly round-up of the goals and games for our division on youtube for anyone interested.

The lad who commentates does an excellent job. Lots of matches, lots of goals and he delivers it all.

Enjoyed it.

[Sanfran49]

No game is a given. Worrying thing for me is people making comments about our poor passing.

It is not good enough for any player at this level whose quality of pass is sub standard. Good passing saves time, it builds attacks quicker and with a lot more accuracy. Goals can be scored quicker.

[Sanfran49]

Certainly not. Every point will have to be earned. Complacency has no place at this club now.

[Sanfran49]

Actually agree with Wondergoals. Relegation from the National League proved it – if he knew what he was doing he would have turned the job down !

£3,375 prize money if we win and £1,125 if we lose. Seems a long time since we last won a cup match

A good start for a cup run. Will boost financial flexibility for the board a little bit more provided we win of course.

All rounds won earns money. The longer the run then the board get a bit more financial flexibility. Oak trees from acorns grow.

Yes ALL 700 gone. Great away support yet again.

Passing practice for all. Kiddy’s pass success rate must have been twice ours. Hardly wasted a ball whereas we gave it away too cheaply too often.
Shooting practice for Carlton and a couple of others. Situations where hitting the target is a minimum requirement.

Was the same at Shields ‘tash.

Luckily we look to have a well drilled defence and DMF.

I guess that making us difficult to score against is a good platform to build upon.

The great Bill Shankly always built from the back.

Good enough for him then more acceptable to us.

They get about 2,500 to home games so you would think they would have managed about 300 for a Saturday game.

Be interesting to see how many make it tonight.

I’ll for 170 away fans.

All games are important and wins even more so.

Don’t see the point of playing if you are not going out to win.
No such thing in August. But 3 points would be very nice.

[Sanfran49]

Does this system show the player who runs about a lot but doesn’t quite get where he should be ? !
