Chuffed for Dec Howe now can we see the game through for the three points
17 minutes on the pitch and he grabs us the win!
A big test of Butler’a character and development as a leader. If something has gone on between him and Howe, he needs to sort it and get him back. I suspect Howe being hooked against Horsham was the flashpoint for any discord. Then again, Butler seemed to be lukewarm about him from the outset by repeatedly referring to it being his first season as a full time pro.
He’s in contract, he’s had a great season. Get him back.
If Farrell’s loan is not extended, Butler confirmed he has contingency plans. “We’ve got players out there who are on loan, who we can call back. We’ve got a plan B, C and D,” he said.”
Mmmmmm? Who could he mean?
Was the acquisition of Dec from Trinity a directors choice rather than Stan’s… is that the reason for his unwillingness to start him as a CF?
Play him in an unnatural role out wide left, a hurrying & a scurrying and you limit his goalscoring opportunities.
Create frustration for the player, don’t show him in his best light, limit his goal scoring chances and therefore goals and the players confidence is bound to ebb… thus showing that the manager ‘knows best’ and that the directors shouldn’t interfere with player recruitment.
Seen it before.

Aren’t we meant to have forgotten about Dec Howe by now…..
Every goal he scores for Alty reminds us that he is STILL our player!
Stan may see him as Dispensable Dec, HOWEever, there are many of us who see him as Dec the Destroyer.
Easy yarn… “we sent him out to get game time playing as a CF until we changed our personnel and formation to enable him to play in a 4-4-2. He’s come back looking sharper & even fitter, having proven that he can score goals in a struggling team and is looking hungry to accrue more. He’s the man to fire us through the play offs.”
Job done.
The Pilgrims can’t believe we’ve turned Dec away and sent him down the road away from the holy shrine of GP!

I would imagine that the directors are making plans for a season in the National League next season.
