Silly old Butler, will he ever learn ?

Rode our luck as they missed at least one absolute sitter, but we absolutely needed that result. I agree iron64, Hurst did well. If we get Evans and JB back I think we’ll improve defensively.
March 15, 2026 at 7:40 am in reply to: Abibliophobia On The Pros & Cons Of Promotion – Do You Want Promotion? #317556Let’s get out of this league (upwards !) first. It has taken many other “bigger” clubs years just to get back into league 2.
Even throwing a fortune at it like York have is no guarantee of escape. If we can get into league 2 we will have enough to stay up, and build from there.
Only issue now is beating Truro no need to look any further forward than that.2 users thanked author for this post.
That’s a great post Awaywego.
Butlers got the driving seat, which I wanted him to have, no doubt he wants the responsibility. Proof of the pudding will be at the season end.1 user thanked author for this post.

Scunthorpe !Good news, deserved after digging us out of NLN and a good chance at making the playoffs now.
It is a sad day when a move to Oldham is worth preserving yourself for.
On recent form, which I expect to continue this weekend and perhaps longer, and projecting ahead a little, I have a sneaking feeling we might slip out of the play-off spots, with not quite enough games to claw our way back in. Anyone else starting to feel this way?
No, they’ll sort it out.
If we get the kick off please do something other than booting it out towards the left for a throw in. That’s all I ask.

Chalk and cheese
He can’t escape criticism over the loans but he’s still on a learning curve as a manager and I’m prepared to give him a fair chance especially this season. Also realistically with our budget in this league who are we expecting to get ? TSF was excellent and got plucked straight back out for an EFL loan at the cods.
It felt a bit like when we played Notts County the season we were relegated into NLN, just witnessing an absolute gulf in quality.
The players we have are over achieving as a group to be where we are. If we can pick up enough points to stay in the playoffs we’ve got a chance. Personally I’d start Jones in goal next game to give Mahady a break and look to get a half decent centre half in on loan if that is possible.
Sounds like Evans is carrying an injury from what AB said on Humberside.1 user thanked author for this post.
Nice helping hand from Mark Beck as well scoring the winner against Halifax.
But if someone with a lot of money comes in then the existing directors (who I applaud and thank wholeheartedly for everything) will add up what they’ve put in and hope to get a return on it. Suddenly it will fully be a business again …..
Tell Howe he was needed for the rest of the season and that might mean coming off the bench if he couldn’t get a regular start.

Sorry to anyone who disagrees but loaning Howe out was a mistake. I hope I’m proved wrong but based on what I’ve seen I can’t see Smith and Dausch getting 6 between them before the end of the season. It’s worrying that Howe asked to go on loan and even more worrying that Butler said ok. A squad capable of a playoff winning push would have all 3 of them in it.

That’s surely one step too far, TJO.
Lol, possibly too many beers ! But the fact remains Rowley and Ewing have gone off the boil and there’s literally nobody behind them in the squad other than the lads who have been loaned out.
Kian Scales scored the winner for Radcliffe today, fetch him back as well.
Hurst and Barrows dropped, smith and Dausch started and we get absolutely hammered. Bring back Brogan and Howe asap.

I’ve forgotten about Howe already.
Apollo11 /7 cassidystash & 64, Hurst is awful, guess he only plays as he has a doncaster connection so AB likes him.
The chance he missed against Forest Green and he did nothing yesterday, how C Smith on the bench over Hurst.
AB needs to play Smith instead of Hurst from now on and the new striker from Coventry looked very fast yesterday and toughAnd yet the 2 games Hurst has started and played the majority of we have won. It was Hurst that closed down their keeper and defender for the mess up which led to Roberts goal.
As Northumbiron suggested I think Smith was Howe’s replacement. The lad from Coventry is probably more the replacement for Sellars Fleming.
Butler’s justification on RH was that Dausch was injured at Forest Green and they had a squad of 41 players so he went back to Cov.
If we are in it next year I certainly won’t be going to watch. What an absolutely desperate match today. I’d rather Butler said we are prioritising the league on day one of the season and aren’t interested in any other competition and we’d all honestly know where we stand. Dec Howe was the only player for us that was interested the rest looked like they’d just met in the warm up.
Credit to Horsham they gave us the beating we deserved.The Club, Butler, the players, staff and vast majority of supporters do not deserve a fine and points deduction. And I sincerely hope they get away from this pathetic situation without any punishment.
Sadly it is the only thing that the morons making the chant might possibly grasp the reality of.
The drugged up rapper could have (should have) been prosecuted by Humberside Police for a public order offence. But he wasn’t.
The drugged up rapper could have (should have) been dropped like a stone by the club immediately that microphone incident occurred. But they didn’t.Unfortunately Awaywego, your enjoyment of terrace abuse without any line drawn for the abusers to not go beyond can’t be self policed by the abuse shouters themselves.
Savage came across very well in his post match interviews and didn’t want to make a big deal about the abuse but he will probably get the last laugh over our morons if we get a big fine or points deduction, both of which would be deserved.Was told by someone there that it was a tame shot, Mahady missed it, ball hit the post rebounded onto his head and went in. The highlights and commentary seems to confirm this.
How did their player not score that one on the line earlier ? I think take the point and move on.Just watched the highlights.
Mahady clanger for their first goal. Horton clanger for their penalty. -
