I’ll go 1-3 and it will be a further improved performance. I fancy Beck to nab one.

[WonderGoals]

Rene, I wasn’t making a direct comparison in terms of goal output but drew comparisons as to their playing style. Two targetmen ?.

Siderite, of course Becks was a yard off towards the end when he came off because he isn’t match fit. Not really played much, has he ?

I’m not his biggest fan, but you really need to be a bit more fair.

I did judge him on what I saw and he was limited

Of course he’s limited, as Torpey was limited. Beck’s a straight forward no frills targetman as was the aforementioned Torpey. What do you expect him to do exactly, Glide past players and start running the channels ?

I’m guessing you’re a new fan because you obviously have no idea what Torpey offered or what John Murphy offered Blackpool offered back in the day who was a similar type of player.

Those type of strikers are there to get the best out of others and not necessarily shine themselves. All they are there to do really is occupy defenders, lay the ball off and win flick on’s.

[WonderGoals]

To be fair he played well and only tired and became static because he’s not had that much game time. I could see him to being too bad once he’s got more minutes in to him. Difference was that we played more to his strengths today. I would however obviously have Whitehall up there instead!

I hope so. Carlton’s completely fell out of favour. I wonder if he’s to sign along with the RB Butler said is joining after spending last 5 weeks on trial ?

After Tuesdays match Butler said the RB deal would be done “tomorrow”. Both parties have had 5 weeks to sort this out, are one or both not sure it’s right?

Something’s definitely not right with the supposed RB. As you stated, five weeks is a long time and was supposed to have been signed Wednesday. Bit odd.

Rowley’s quality. Looks a real player now he’s match fit.

Clunan was nowhere near as bad as Denton. Denton was so bad, I would have taken him off for Kelly. Kouogun was shocking as well, all he had to do was clear the ball behind him for a corner and the prat hooked it forward straight into their player, which resulted in the ball dropping straight into his patch which they scored from.

Boyce gave silly balls away and Rose was guilty of it too. In regards to Denton, that’s the worse I’ve seen him play in an iron shirt. Absolutely shocking. I’d have Evans back in at CB in place of Boyce personally.

[WonderGoals]

I slagged Beck off after he miss those two sitters in consecutive games, but I felt sorry for him tonight. Beck won countless balls launched up to him and there were no runners from midfield. Roberts was most guilty as it looked like Beck was asking Roberts why he wasn’t making runs, it happened several times.

Butler said we have Beck who he’s happy to have as a replacement for Whitehall and commented that we need to get players closer to him. I hope he get’s players running beyond him and people close by because if not he’s going to be a passenger again.

I blame Butler for not sorting out a different playing style for when we have Beck up there instead of Whitehall. Butler signed him afterall !

[WonderGoals]

Chester sold their top goal scorer Charlie Caton a few weeks ago and seemingly haven’t replaced him.

[WonderGoals]

If there is any truth in those rumours, it will come out before long. I hope there’s nothing in them !

Maybe I misheard

No. You certainly didn’t. I found that a little confusing, as you wrote above, one side is implying they’re excited to move forward with it and other is saying they spoke and they are interested, but that’s about it. Also mentioned speaking to other interested parties.

Little weird.

[WonderGoals]

With a 60k shortfall every month I can see a fair few of those going.

[WonderGoals]

I’m sure Roberts would have something to say about that !

How many of our magnificently expensive 7 would make their first teams?

Silly argument as Wycombe are so high up in lg 1, so you can leave them out of the equation. Roberts would more than likely get into Tamworth’s team, but apart from him I’d be struggling to name another.

[WonderGoals]

There was a comment made stating some players would maybe resign because some prefer to have security “a longer contract” with a smaller wage. To be fair those players will be on a hell of a lot for this level.

We’re in desperate need for further investment.

[WonderGoals]

Sounds about right. They were signed in Hilton’s era after all !

[WonderGoals]

I personally thought Beestin did well in that role. Still think we need another defensive midfielder as Clunan is the only one at the club. Whatever formation we end up playing, we’re going to need one for the sake of balance.

We could recall Shrimpton, but he’s not playing at Spennymoor and Brogan is more effective further up the pitch like Beestin is.

Yes, but they may block you from having any pass in future. The trick they pulled with you with signing you up to their account without you knowing has been done before with boxing matches.

Quite a lot of people have bought fights PPV and in the tiny small print in terms and conditions it mentions you have to sign up to fixed membership just to be able to buy the one off fight. There has been many times when they’ve pulled that trick and still been taking money out of peoples accounts without them even realising.

Dazn have been doing crap like that for quite a while. I used to watch a boxing podcast every sunday and it got brought up a lot on there. Worst possible company that could have even gotten the rights. I used to like the old platform and watched many games on there.

Something is definitely brewing behind the scenes. I just hope to god it isn’t this My Football fan owned scheme which is going to come to fruition because it sounds terrible.

Players looked tired and need the rest coming up. Not a great performance, but 3 points is 3 points.

True. Not been all that great this season. Boyce has hit the buffers of late though.

I think Torps reads the game well. Not once did he mention sub issues. Just a tad exasperated that the goals came from nothing. Sorry, ‘naffin’ :)

Individual errors again. Boyce’s error with the poor header and Denton when moved to CM, fell asleep and didn’t track his runner. I will however say he shouldn’t have been there anyway.

I’d leave Boyce out for a while and start Evans. Evans has hardly been fantastic himself.

[WonderGoals]

To be fair to Butler the formation he’s changed too is a million times better. Bit dodgy at the back, but much better going forward. I’d leave Boyce out for Evans.

[WonderGoals]

Certainly sounds as if they’ve improved the quality of the coverage. I’ll re-visit it.

[WonderGoals]

Dazn are garbage. I watched a match on there a while back and the picture quality and sound was a joke. The feed Kept cutting out too.

[WonderGoals]

Butler was talking as if Starbuck is primarily a FB because he was talking about him being a cover/replacement for Rose if he’s out injured or whether his parent club recall him.

Your rather good at that 64. I saw a few of your fanciful offerings last week. Pot, kettle and black spring to mind.

Carlton barely looks interested

No sure what’s going on with him, but he’s been poor so far. I wonder whether his 16 goal outing last season was a flash in the pan ?

Looks nowhere near that kind of level. I’d be open to loaning him out and getting another wide player in because for whatever reason it’s just not worked for him. Carlton looked bright for a game or two when moved out wide, but then reverted back to how he was playing before.

I must admit, he didn’t look like his heart was in today’s game. I wonder whether he’s having a problem settling ?

[WonderGoals]

I don’t entirely blame Butler for his lack of game management, but I will slate his choices of players on the bench as there was no CM player on there. Wouldn’t it make more sense to put Williams on the bench instead of carlton to add a bit more balance to the bench options ?

I do however feel we definitely need another defensive midfielder in the building because if anything happens to Clunan, who else in this squad is there to bring on as an adequate replacement ?

No Shrimpton or Brogan now !
