I have said this many times before but HMS piss the league is well on her way. No doubt she’s hit turbulence at times but she’s running fine now.
The dodgy captain “Hilton” has well and truly been tossed overboard and we now have one of honour now steering the ship. Mark my words, it’s on ladies and gentlemen.
Beestin is due back soon and Ogle is at most a few weeks away.
Honestly over the moon at the position we find ourselves in compared to only a few months ago. I feared the worst. No doubt still a long way to go but we’ll get there in time.
Up the iron.

I think it will work, I believe in her and the people surrounding the club now. If the unthinkable happens at least the ground is secured.

The insistence on playing Whitehall is the only real question I had today when Elliot looked good when he came on in the last game. Whitehall’s been poor for quite a while now.
Clunan was poor but he looked jaded as a lot of the other players have of late. Clunan’s been playing Sat/Tues straight after he came back from injury and plus he’s got a baby to look after, it looks like it’s taken it’s toll.
They can all least have a bit of a rest now and get Beestin, Kelly and Ogle back.

Who gives a toss that we didn’t look great, we won after all. I think the players look tired and have done for the last couple of matches and this little break they have now will work wonders. Beestin nearly back as is Kelly and Ogle so we’ll be stronger from here on in.
I don’t think playing without a natural RB hardly helps either. Only thing I would question is Jimmy going with Whitehall again as he’s been poor of late and Elliot looked pretty good last game.
The away form worries me but we’re going well at the minute. Sacking Jimmy now would be suicidal. That would be a Swann 2.0 style decision.

Fitzsimons never touched their player after Max’s suicidal back pass.
“if Bentley is happy with that then fair enough”
Did you not see the rubbish they were getting away with in comparison to us ?
One of the worst refs we’ve had this season.

According to Dean a week or two ago he stated 4 or 5 needed to go out to help balance the books. Ferris, Pugh and Bennett have already gone with Chapman probably on his way come January to be replaced by a cheaper loan youngster.
Southport can sign Carver on a perm contract to get him completely off the books. Smith will end up going back to Hearts as well. Going by what Dean was told I think all those just about cover it.

Isn’t that the moron who decided it was a good idea to throw Aidan McCartney’s phone on the pitch because he dared to say something about Hilton ?
I don’t know why the club don’t just slap him with a permanent ban !
No good will come of him hanging around like a bad smell.

We play the nice football we have been doing at home but we need a more direct and solid approach away from home. Jimmy needs to quickly realise that we can’t keep playing this “Jimmy Ball” style home and away because it clearly hasn’t been working.
I still think we’re lacking a true target man to play away from home, a good mobile one who actually holds the ball up and we need to play more direct. Smith and Law cut inside and play almost like no 10’s away from home but they really need to keep their width and whip balls in for a proper targetman.
You can say Bennett was a targetman but he was shite. I know the money isn’t there but we definitely need a genuine good targetman and a finisher.
Those chances missed last night by Elliot were a piss take.

Dean has done superbly well but games like that tonight when we’re down we need to push the boat out and try a different approach. I would have rather he brought elliot on and gone 4/4/2, getting the ball out wide quickly and whipped in and least try something different.
Whitehall didn’t play well at all but we struggled with support up to him so can’t understand why Dean didn’t change it up and just put an extra striker on. Jimmy Ball works well but we need different ways of playing.

I won’t stick the boot into Jimmy Dean but no coincidence that their manager was Curzon’s manager and he did exactly the same job on us tonight.
Dean brought Elliot on and I thought surely he’ll put him up there with Whitehall and go 442 but obviously didn’t and goes with the same formation. Truly baffling was the decision to then leave Boyce upfront to go with 2 upfront at the end.
Elliot though with that miss was shocking and if he scored that we go away with a draw. I know Dean like possession based football but they went with everybody behind the ball and we were being far too patient. Only way you dislodge them and create space is quick play and balls into the box.
Players wanted far too many touches and generally took far too long to make their minds up. Curzon Ashton game again minus the crazy weather. Dean has got the drive home that when playing against teams who set up like this that we need to play quickly and stop messing around.

Barrows stepped in effortlessly
People will hate me for what I’m about to type but Barrows is an improvement on Ogle. I like Ogle as he’s tough who never stops running but Barrows is the better footballer.
Ogle for all his upsides is garbage when it comes to delivery the ball into the box and his passing is a bit wayward. Barrows is a lot less rough around the edges.
Beestin back in a few weeks and Elliot is due back very soon. Roberts is getting more fit with each passing minute. HMS Piss The League will arrive at it’s destination come the end of the season.
Fingers crossed we don’t suffer all those injuries again but really for us to have the players we have at this level is a joke. Always did say Butterfield is league 1 standard.
Butterfield is a special individual performing the way he’s doing at this level when it’s so beneath his level of ability, he must know it deep down and yet the goals he’s scoring is absolutely ridiculous.
If we was playing like this in league two I would be hailing his signature as a steal. The best way I can describe him in terms of ability for this level is the gap the Beagrie showed when he played at the level he played for us, as in you could tell he shouldn’t have been there.
Another man that needs a special mention is Jimmy Dean as he’s been terrific. Hilton was a dodgy character to the say the least but he did sign off on Dean and the squad we have now so least he got something right.
