  1. Hudson/Norman Raglan Hobson McGahey/Hogan freeman/green. Kitching Gardner/lundstrum sheron Shelton/Willoughby/ward/dickenson Nuttall/fondop Norwood/reid 5-3-2 effectively without the ball and 3-5-2 with the ball. Gardner or lundstrum sat in front of back line to receive the ball and progress the play. Sheron there to win it back, then with the ball you give license to shelts, Willoughby or ward to support the strikers, without they drop in the middle. my guess is that’s the master plan but injuries etc have put the mockers on it.
  2. For me he sees them as impact players rather than consistent starters. Ole Solksjaer at scum a good example, can't say fergie disliked him even though he was often left with 15 minutes to do something.
  3. iirc £160 rising to £180, then it went to normal early bird pricing and then full pricing. That was the Lemmies panic mode thinking everyone would boycott and probably wanting to rinse whatever money they could out of the club before they sold it to Frank.
  4. You have to select your seat whether renewing or buying afresh. The renewal option just unlocks your seat for selection that would otherwise be greyed out in the seat selector thing. Also if you exit the app or move away before going to checkout I found it can log you out for 10-15 minutes, which was a bit of a pain, I did it on my phone and people were ringing me about the season tickets going on sale so meant I had to start the process again twice.
  5. I see it as Unsworth was the man the Royle's picked and it was a case of getting the purchase sorted from the Brothers LemsaGrim, that might have held things up and why shez was effectively going for players he knew and that lived locally in case all went up in smoke.
  6. He (Peck) put the pass through for Tollitts goal at Borehamwood. In first half only Chapman turned up in the midfield, Gardner and Peck weren't at it, second half as others have said Gardner came off for Rooney, played Rooney in behind Striker and looked good. We did have more of the ball as the game went on, which meant Peck looked better, not convinced with him defensively, as Unsworth digged out Vaughn for same failings at Accrington.
  7. Everyone panicking (with a bit of reason in fairness) but its only a 5 game swing defeats to wins between us in 21st and Barnet in 7th. The league is very tight. We have picked up all our points whilst playing badly. I'd be worried if we were in this position having dominated games.
  8. AFAIK They don't need a winding up order for the Lemmies to have turned round and dissolved the club? As owners I suspect they could have done this to cut their losses, and finish corney+co's job of asset stripping what little was left. If no buyer been forthcoming. We'd have been fortunate to have gates of 1k (rather than 8k) had they still been here, so they'd have been bleeding cash to keep it going.
  9. I'm in. I have sent payment now. Hopefully that'll come through to your account with Hinchy as a reference @oafcmetty
  10. 3 games in to a season with the window still open ain’t the time to panic. If we are rock bottom after 7-8 games maybe.
  11. A creative midfielder and a center forward and we will be ok with wheater, Eddie (def from burton), and kokos to come back in. God help us.
  12. To be fair Raheem Sterling has de bruyne, david silva and friends pulling the strings for him. Nepo has? Not saying its the right or wrong decision to ease him back in, just that I don't think there is anything dodgy behind it. I don't believe its a case of fitness, we just keep switching off at the back, I can see why Banide looks like he has seen a ghost in his post match interviews. First goal last night for rovers was a mistake from smith-brown. You then have Maouche turning his back on Downings shot for the second after Sefil has laid waste to one of the rovers players and everyone bar downing had stopped, a big lesson to play to the whistle. Finally you have Iocovitti losing an aerial challenge in lead up to their third, when he should have left that to smith brown and been covering the second ball that dropped to the unmarked man bursting through the middle as Sefil was caught in no mans land. The sooner we get wheater and egerts in together the better. On a lighter note as a team performance it was light years ahead of the crewe performance. Hopefully we are playing Bradford at the right time as they are still working out how they'll play like ourselves.
  13. Nepo hadn't had a rest in the summer after playing in the gold cup for curacao, hence him not starting/completing games for the moment. He'll get more minutes I'm sure, particularly if he plays anything like that first half last night.
  14. Really poor from the club to do this for the Rochdale game as its a charity game effectively. Could easily have left any fallout to come out for the Bolton game. From the sounds of things the club is going to put on its own concession stands in competition with the OEC's, god knows how that'll play out.
  15. Wild set us up to be two banks of 4 and let Swindon have possession to a certain extent. Same as he has in every other game. For me I never felt we were in danger of conceding, others may well feel different. It's took a pen on the stroke of half time to get Swindon a chance to get in the game. The second from them was a well hit shot from outside the box. I don't remember them getting in behind us once (other than the pen). Lang had two one on ones albeit from tight angles. Just a shame it has taken us to 5/6 games from end of season to find a formula that works.
  16. AL needs to get his guy in, even if he is a yes man. He appears to be bringing his players in to play a specific style he wants. This has been butting heads with the styles of the previous 4 managers ( shez, wellens, bunn, scholes ) - left PW out as he was ticking over rather than trying to implement a style of play. Swapping managers every 5 minutes is a recipe for disaster. As for Steve Evans we shouldn't be even looking in his direction after the stunt he pulled prior to Robinsons tenure.
  17. What does a protest get us, other than letting some people vent some anger and cost the club money, particularly if the anger boils over and you get games delayed or abandoned due to action. Costing the club money that could be spent on the infrastructure of the club or the playing staff. The best way to protest is don't bother turning up or stand outside as a protest during the game. At the end of the day Scholes knew the playing squad he was taking on, and knew he was doing so at the end of the January transfer window when he cannot make any recruitment changes. I suspect Scholes found it genuinely hard work, on training pitches that aren't up to scratch, has bottled it and shown a lack of patience in my eyes. At least take the club through to the Summer, then leave. As he has resigned rather than being sacked we might get some actual information on the goings on behind the scenes.
  18. First time in a long time we actually have a chance to blood some youths. It'd be great to see Jay Shez, Harry Robinson, Scholes-Beard, Jack Williams, Max Norman etc. given a few runs out without it being a do or die scenario, as has happened with edmundson and hamer last season. Sadly we are more likely to see loanees and french 4th divisioners.
  19. I don't know, I had never met the bloke before. He was a youngish fella mid-twenties that brought him into the bar. Another fan told me that he was the barber they all use, so whether that's the case or not???
  20. Surridge came in to the O2 business suite (fans bar, old sponsors box) after his last home game. A lot of the players go to the same barbers (in Lees I think) and Surridge had come in for a chat with one of the barbers from there. Surridge was asked straight up if it was homesickness and he laughed and said no, he was enjoying his football and had a place with his girlfriend up this neck of the woods.
