  1. Whilst I agree with much of this I don’t agree that we looked more assured on the ball, I thought we looked dreadful in possession and our passing was if anything worse than ever, especially early in the game. Obviously nerves play a part and both sides seemed to both be as bad in this regard, equally both settled more as the game wore on until their goal sucked the life out of us. Second half only one team was going to win it, in part helped by our subs making us weaker. Yet again we were bullied. Some of the finishing from either side was possibly the worst I’ve seen in a long long time given the number and quality of the chances. Few, if any, positives for me, but Ripley definitely worth a shout out .
  2. Celebrity Chase is even worse and you were in real danger of making yourself a laughing stock until that last paragraph.
  3. Burnt out and traumatised? That’s just an over dramatic way of saying titsed off. The free ticket is allocated a seat number. If you want to sit together the season ticket holder can move, to another stand if need be, and get a ticket themselves, so 2 seats together. It costs nowt. I’ve been up and done just that.
  4. Because fans are, or were, fed up of too much of the possession based “tippy tappy” stuff and want us to play a blend of tippy tappy and hoof ball, which I think is where we are at the moment. The honest truth is that if we were winning games then folk wouldn’t give a 💩…….but we’re not…..so they do.
  5. Sorry, can’t remember much of it now Brian. Tune in after the match tonight and you might hear the guy. If not, he’s on most weeks.
  6. Yeh but come on, Homes Under The Hammer? Bargain Hunt? Over a train trip and a few scoops? Get a grip.
  7. Not the “system” as in the formation, but the preferred style of play, as in possession based. I think this was stated at one of the forums, and maybe more, along with being mentioned other interviews. The idea being that the young kids are playing the same way as the first team so that there’s continuity right through all the age groups. In addition, we can sell it to the Prem and Champ clubs when we’re touting for loans.
  8. Sort yourself out man. Get your tickets and get on the ale. Rumour has it your sofa’s lost its support.
  9. Fair enough, that wouldn’t work for me. Maybe others will add their constructive views on this one. 👍🏻
  10. It is, as was the Bycars. This is not me moaning but I reluctantly switched ends and can’t say I’m 100% happy in the Hamil but could see the reason for the move and the facilities are massively better so I just get on with it. If I get fed up I’ll move. Simple as that. As for the Railway, we’re having a brand new toilet block. Ok, maybe there could be a covered area by the kiosks, beyond that what do you want? Do you ever go to any away games to see what’s out there?
  11. Slightly off topic, but what a great call that was on P&G from George. You sound far to rational to read this forum George but that was top stuff fella, a balanced view and have to say usually a great call whenever I hear you on the show. 👍🏻
  12. Does his record say he’s the best finisher? Either way it’s not just about finishing it’s about getting in the right areas. Ben Garrity hasn’t got the ability of Wilson but could still teach him a thing or two on that score.
  13. Who would you pick then?
  14. I think the RW suite was completed to coincide with the concert and I’m not sure that the club fully funded it themselves. Possibly without the concert the stand would’ve still been half empty, either way it’s a money spinner however you wish to paint it. Something needed doing to push forward the development of that side, which now depends on the completion of the training facilities allowing the gym to be relocated. We don’t really need the added capacity but it would still be nice to see the thing finished, in my lifetime at least. Not withstanding the toilet situation, which was out of the blue and we’re told will be addressed close season with brand new toilet block, hopefully with gold plated taps, facilities in the Railway are what they’ve always been so why is it suddenly this big problem? Why the outrage? I suppose the club could put some cover over the area next to the kiosks. What do you want? The Hamil move has improved facilities for home fans who prefer to sit behind the goal, no question. OK, we’ve had a burst drain that side. These things happen and it meant I pizzed on my trainers the other week in a blackout portaloo, but I got over it, and my trainers dried out. If you really are that disgusted about the facilities in the Railway then rather than moan you could take positive action and move, if only until the Railway bogs are fixed and there’s a bit of tarp for you to queue under. It won’t happen though cuz it’s easier to moan. Having said this I must confess that I couldn’t care less about facilities. I’d rather see every penny spent on players and a top manager.
  15. Loft was ok Saturday, not great but ok. I think he can do a job but the understanding and link up play between the front 3 is nonexistent. The form of Wilson is a bigger issue at the moment.
  16. We’ve got nobody else.
  17. Ojo is a good player at this level. My twopenneth.
  18. In the current formation, play him up front instead of Willow who looks dejected. Loft up top, Chiz and Mighten.
  19. Have to disagree to some of this, it’s about attitude as much as ability. Work rate and desire, not throwing the towel in, will get you points. It certainly won’t lose you any points that’s for sure.
  20. They weren’t must win games, they were mustn’t lose games. Take a point, keep the goal difference static and most importantly keep our relegation rivals behind us. Crosby had to go, he’d been given more than a fair amount of time. The debacle at Fleetwood was the final nail. Moore has inherited a terrible hand but you can’t argue that the situation wasn’t obvious to him, obviously indicating that he’s got the job next season chance whatever the outcome this. He’s been left shopping in the free agent market so unless someone can pull a rabbit out of the hat we’re still in the same mess.
  21. Exactly. We’ve appointed a new manager, the fans have to back the team. What will be will be. Our league position will ultimately decide.
  22. Much of what you say is true but you could easily argue part of DC’s failure was down to the players recruited, or not recruited, under Flitcroft in the January window that season, a trend that’s continued, resulting in the departure of another manager. The recruitment team have had 3 transfer windows to address our lack of goals and have failed. That’s a bit longer than you and your flat, which I hope works out by the way. We can appoint the very best manager but then also have a duty to give him the tools to do the job. We failed to do that for DC, failed again for Crosby and failed Moore by appointing him immediately after the window has shut. It’s gross mismanagement, reactive rather than proactive which shows a lack of planning. When you start churning managers plus all their staff it costs significant money. That money could, and should, have been spent on players, which would improve the team and help keep the manager in a job, not to mention drive revenues in the obvious ways any successful team would see. It’s a fundamental failing, we shouldn’t be depending on the allure of Moore, although I like the sound of that, to attract free agents. It’s desperation. Gayle is linked to Derby I believe? Plus I’ll just point out that Gore isn’t a replacement for Massey. Gore and Wier are stepping into the roles vacated by Arblaster and Devine.
  23. I get your gist but we’re in a rut with no real chance of improving the first team bar hoping Ben Garrity will return, start banging goals in and single-handedly turn our form around. Admittedly a damp pitch may hamper Ben somewhat. On the flip side, maybe the heavy turf will stop the ball rolling into our net with such regularity, Dave Regis style.
