False dawn ? Well that started when Peter Swann got control, but that will be a recurring nightmare until he has gone.
15 games left – so get back to 442, back to basics and go for a win in EVERY game. Still think we aren’t and there is why we are continuing to fail !

This is the IRON – you never know now that Keith is in.
You did if Cox had been there !

Sanfran, Pugh played at left back last week at Spalding and was one of our better players albeit taking into account the level of the opposition (thought his red card at Spalding was also a bit harsh for what it’s worth)
I know you have a keen interest in the academy players, is Lobley currently injured? Always thought highly of him as someone who could make the step up, would he have made a better left back option last night?Bit different non-league to league. Dan Gallimore could do it and Harry Baker although Harry has only just got back from a long injury after surgery and he may still be on loan at Pickering. And we also have Fin Shrimpton but FB is for me a specialist role. Not been to see the academy for a while – self preservation.

Not sure why Tom Pugh was at LB. Even in his academy days I don’t think he covered the position.
At the back more right sided but KH obviously has issues due to Mason being missing. Nice to read than Dan Gallimore did well, will follow orders if given and compete for everything.

Club run by ‘Hobbyist’ – a professional operation and debt managed.
Club run by ‘Professional in entertainment industry’ !! – amateur operation.
I think a reasonable summation.

The 2 yr Hallam deal summed up the reasons for the mess.

He’s done all those things and should go but if he does go then our Club goes.
We are screwed on and off the pitch by himMany times he has said in forums and statements that when he left, the club will be better off financially than when he arrived. His words not mine or anyone else !
My goodness this is going to be good, bet the the word covid is in the excuse !

Players can be deregistered so they can bring one into the squad. I think that was done to Lewis Butroid during the Cox tenure. Effectively on gardening leave or I do believe they can go into the national league.
But we would still have to stay within the EFL acceptable budget if we were looking at a free agent.

Would like to think – Nuttall our new ‘Beckford’.

When people suggested things at previous forums all they got was ‘ they were fine, they knew what they were doing’ – they did, they ignored genuine people. Over the seasons this attitude was maintained and we are where we are -supporters at arms length.
Simon will do his utmost and is trusted but it takes longer than half a season to turn a rudderless ship. A total change would only happen if someone bought the club.
This is a tough gig and I applaud Simons work.

Until it is impossible it is never too late ! But without going to be difficult.
All the monies saved on the least 2 pre-season recruitments have lost money when you look at falling gates, money from car parking and any catering. And the cost of bringing in players with ability will again cost more than has been saved !
2 top signings for midfield in, but now need 2 CB’s because the 2 we have are not good enough. So understand when Mr Hill says 6 possibly 7 new faces are needed.
A lot of phone calls on sunday and monday will be needed – really is the last chance.

Mr Swann will not want ‘relegated’ to Non League on his CV.
Vanity will make him do his utmost because at the moment the man who he said ran the club as a hobby is wiping the floor with him on achievements !

Grant and Feeney will make a huge difference in that middle. We have some young inexperienced talent who will now get proper on field guidance.
If nothing else after them a CB is vital, need a leader there who Rory knows will help him. Manny & Taft seem to allow players too much space, don’t challenge at opponents set pieces. Stop the goals and we will score.
Showed again that our Cb’s cannot do the job of a CB !!
So we need someone who knows how to make a defence defend. 1 up top and the 1 at the back will make a huge difference.

Dawson had several injuries after moving on, plus he may have criticised he who is beyond reproach !! So that would rule him out.
I think Liam Feeney will have the armband. But the missing piece is at CB ours don’t jump or challenge !

Sadly he wants money – more than the average supporter can raise as a collective.
It needs a consortium who the supporters can then get involved in their club again. And I do believe fans will do.
Mr Swann was always on about the match day experience for supporters, from buying food, a pint and then be entertained by the football.
At any stage from day 1 did the food offering improve ? Then when did it start to get worse – and you would not think that was possible !!
Was plain to see but the fans hoped.

Stopped believing anything he said several statements ago !!
The money has been wasted for many years, it starts way back to the recruiting of Dom Vose. Then over the years how many similar other wells have money been tipped down with no hope of recovery ?
Then add those that other clubs benefitted so well from while we got minimal reward all due to poor managerial decisions. 3 that come to mind Lyle Taylor, Kyle Wootton and Charlie Goode.

Mr Hill needs someone and quick, the other players who are fighting to stay up need recruits and quickly.
A new player with experience will help them a lot. Plus get Cam Wilson back and use as a winger because our corner count is shockingly low.

Peter Swann will read the comments and unless it is liable and warrants a solicitors letter and threat of court action he will not be bothered.
