  1. Some interview though, I'm actually staggered he's been allowed anywhere near one before given the tripe he's spouted. "We've got ourselves in a position where we can turn the season in to a successful one". Really? Did he do this interview 5 games ago?. "I think we are going in the right direction". He doesn't seem convinced. "We strive for consistency in performance and results". Spectacular fail on that front then, infact I'd go as far to claim the thing he strives for most is our achilles heel. "Squad which on paper should be competing but was struggling at the bottom". Not entirely true, we were seven unbeaten in between Rhino going and Mellon coming in, 4 wins and 3 draws including a win away at Altrincham in the Cup so the suggestion we were a lost cause is frankly bollocks. "We've been saying for weeks now that we don't want to be relying on results that other teams get". That's exactly were we are at now though isn't it and reaching the playoffs is no longer in our own hands. "Obviously it's nice when you look at results and your competitors drop points ". Nobodies dropping more than us at the minute. "I believe fitness and consistency are getting closer together each week" Nice to know the fitness is coming along - nearly six months in to their tenure, as for consistency the only thing we are consistent at is being inconsistent. I know pre match interviews are something nobody wants to do but that one there is about as car crash as it gets.
  2. Beginning to get all Unsworth with some of their comments, almost delusional.
  3. And we thought Shez was a dinosaur, this bloke wants a team full.
  4. Not for me, look at those we've kept from previous seasons, there's so much to change and I honestly think we need to go in a different direction. I know he's a model pro, represents the club impeccably and puts most of the squad to shame with his fitness and application but we need better players if we are going to progress. He's out of contract and his wage would be better used elsewhere.
  5. They've pissed enough money up the wall already to be honest, I don't think they need to worry about my three ton the amount they've spunked away since Frank came in. They are paying Alex Reid about 4 or 5 full price season tickets worth a week to sit at home on his arse for the next 60 weeks. That's around 300 paying customers just on that alone.
  6. Doesn't strike me as a potential manager when I've listened to him if I'm being honest, might as well bring Clarkey back as well to play alongside him whilst we are at it.
  7. Wow he would be one of the first gone for me, captain of a team that's powderpuff and inconsistent, surely we should be going down a different route next season, young dynamic players with hunger, I don't want a team of 30 odd year old journey men who can't play two decent games a week.
  8. They work for some people but not for me on this occasion, fans have a choice and I've bought them in the past to guarantee away tickets but I'm not too fussed about that anymore. Plus I'd also like to see what changes are made to the playing squad before I decide.
  9. About 280 early and 350 after the deadline. It's not a huge rise but one I feel isn't justified.
  10. Were they though?, I was debating for next season already but I think I'll revert back to POTD and then I don't feel obliged to go.
  11. Good for you, I won't be with the hike in prices. I was debating anyway but that's made my mind up for me. What's the justification for the rise?.
  12. We nearly beat them away under Unsworth, in fact we were the better team. Shelton and Sheron in a midfield three with Gardner, Sutton at rightback, playing a 4-5-1 with Norwood up top on his own.
  13. Reid offers something different but like Fondop Mellon never fancied him, shame he couldn't tow the line and play the game but that's some footballers for you.
  14. Personally I blame the weak as piss performances at home to Eastleigh, Ebbsfleet, Woking and Kidderminster for our demise, I know our away form compensated for those results but still all four of those results were shocking and all under Mellon. Win two of those and we would be just fine. A draw at Dagenham would normally be seen as an okay result, that draw isn't what's killed us.
  15. Don't say that, you'll have some pendant claiming that's not the case. You're right though it's must win as was last Saturday for me.
  16. Solihull are 6 in front of us, we've mustered 4 points in 5 games of Mellonball worrying about not getting beat so the thought that they are the ones in danger is clutching at straws. Anyway if they do drop out it's likely Halifax who'll profit. After the weekend season will be over with games to spare and that will be a huge disappointment. Let the clear out begin.
  17. Even if they have I'd rather that than 33 like we have and everything that goes with that.
  18. They should have continued to look until they found one or put it out to all these contact we are in the market for one. Freeman should have been the one but his heart wasn't in it. One of the priorities for me in the summer.
  19. His first touch is invariably a pass, I still like him though when he's stretching defences, him and Norwood works as a pairing if the midfield support and the defence play 15 yards further up the pitch as they did at home to Chesterfield. If they are going to sit in you may as well just lump it up to Fondop and Garner to runaround for.
  20. Without wanting to start the whole Norwood debate up again I agree he's not been the success I imagined and at times I've been disappointed, now a big factor in that will be the way we set up but surely for the money he's on he can do a little more than get involved if it's on a plate. Some claim on here he's still our standout player but he is unlikely to be anywhere near the player of the season awards despite bagging around 20 goals playing with pub players. Thinking about it the seasons been that shite they will likely cancel the awards night again.
  21. BP not been online since this was posted, I hope he is okay.
  22. Correct I heard some we being offered less than a third to sign elsewhere, it ain't going to happen so I reckon we will be stuck with them all. What's actually happened to Shelton?, is he just being paid to stay at home?, now I know he went through a bad run of form and probably needed a break but I've literally not seen or heard of him in weeks, similarly what's going on with Reid?, all these banishments can't help the mood. Now I appreciate Mellon might not fancy them but it's hardly a healthy situation. Ward is another one.
