  1. I would be surprised if we managed 1 win from the remaining games.
  2. Southend with 10 points deducted is only now 1 point behind us.
  3. Do you think we should have stuck with Thompson and Redfearn, was it no losses in 6 games with them 2.
  4. Striker makes surprise transfer move after Hull City agree contract decision - Hull Live (hulldailymail.co.uk) Have a read, I wonder what the reason was?
  5. The incident has become a national story, it was mentioned more than once on Talk Sport yesterday, I think both players should be made to apologise, Reid has been injured since November and Mcgahey was out for over a year, and both players no doubt picked up a wage from the club during that time. Perhaps some time stacking shelves in Tesco as a punishment might give them a better understanding of the privileged careers they have.
  6. Highlights - Oldham Athletic Vs Altrincham – Altrincham FC That penalty decision was shocking. Great goal from Sheron, but that sitter from Hope early first half.
  7. Yep, because Green is not a winger, how many crosses does he put into the box, decent or otherwise. Tonight we went down to 10 men, played long high balls up front and left Fondop on the fucking bench, who would at least win a few headers and give there 2 CB's something to think about.
  8. Green's best games in recent times have been when he has scored from distance from the middle of the park.
  9. Post-match interview should be interesting, "we matched them early on, the sending-off didn't help, a lot of the lads are recovering from covid."
  10. The warnings were there in pre-season, slow and ponderous, defence weak.
  11. Because we were going to sign the midfield genius that is Shelton.
  12. The pitch looks like a cabbage patch, with no life in the thing, the ball doesn't bounce or move at any pace across the surface. We should look to up the ante in the second half and get a few goals. On the downside, Rooney has had a poor game with some terrible deliveries from dead balls, and Sutton looks vulnerable at full-back.
  13. Which players do you think they actually wanted, or was it down to what the numpty dumpty's who owned the club at the time wanted to sign?
  14. I liked the look of Wolfenden when I first saw him play, but he never stepped up, didn't he end up at Wrexham?
  15. Fondop has worked his socks off for most of the season, both him and Tollit are the only ones who offer anything creative, prior to Abraham arriving.
  16. I blame Clarke for the second goal, he gave the ball away from a throw in by kicking it in the middle of the pitch to no one, Halifax picked up the ball and went up the pitch and scored. But as so many have pointed out already, this team isn't good enough. Cricket score next week against Wrexham, these players are shot to bits.
  17. We had enough chances to win that game. I was surprised we didn't test their keeper more when he fumbled the ball in the first half. Today was the first game I have seen under Unsworth, I get the defensive approach, especially as we were shipping goals under Shez, keeping possession and moving the ball, whilst looking for an opening to exploit is nothing new. The ability of some of the players to pick a pass is lacking, Gardener struggled to find a pass for the first 15 minutes of the game and Rooney sits deep, this leaves Fondop and Toillit up front to hold the ball up and create opportunities. The second half was the real worry, the first 10 minutes or so we could not get hold of the ball and we sat deeper, we had lost our shape with Clarke going off, we then went from a 5-4-1 to a 5-3-3 then a 4-4-2, Luamba was playing at what a one point looked to be at wing back, he then got moved up alongside Fondop, where he seemed to cause Chester some problems. It is pretty obvious we need to sign some quality players, someone with a bit of creativity and a decent striker would be a start, young kids aren't really the answer, although I do like the look of Carragher, which in fairness to Unsworth is one of his signings. Overall, there is a lack of confidence in the team, that is evident when it comes to making the right decision with the ball, sometimes the short pass is the easy option and for most of the time yesterday, even with the clocking running down, that short pass saw the ball going backwards.
