100% got to keep Fondop.
Effort, scores, holds the ball up well, even defends.
For what he is, you we won't get better in this league. Every squad needs a Fondop.

If the manager thinks he knows good players he's sadly mistaken.
I think it's proving the point he was trying to make.

It seems that Gateshead made 8 changes to their previous game and had no sub goalkeeper so had to play a defender for the last 45 mins.
Nice to see they are keeping up the integrity of the league!!
Still hoping your boys get the win tonight
Apologies in advance.

No idea about the figures but the order seems logical.

I feel a bit more sorry for him now I've had a read up since he left. Big things were expected but appears that injuries have hampered him.

Possibly an unpopular opinion but Sheron, for me, gets a bit of a pass from some as we're pretty shit overall.
Reminds me of Garnett, Thom and Reid in the sense he's a 100%er but the benchmark is really low.

Think the recent Chaddy experiment answered any doubts as to how much of an issue it really was.

No point in getting wound up about anything Tics related until October now. There's something quite freeing in that.

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.
I was going to vote for him but he's got a a prior engagement that night so has asked to be ruled out.

Honestly I can't pick more than half a dozen games that Mellon had us playing well, I think it's fair to compare Unsworth back end of last season to this because we are in the same division, Unsworth certainly had a better home record after Christmas that's for sure and it could be argued we've been lucky under Mellon also, I can remember wins we've picked up where I thought we were fortunate.
Now whether there are constants in both seasons is up for debate but I honestly feel it needs ripping up and starting again we are that far off, Chesterfield are likely to finish 40 points plus in front of us and that's criminal.
When we've been decent under Mellon, we've been far better than we were under Unsworth. Less regularly than we should be but there are still signs. Unsworth was never going to get it right but I think Mellon will
Big, big pre-season and first 12 games though.

Great 'little known fact'.

The revised date is 30 years to day of 'that goal' at Wembley.

It's not as bad as I recall first time around. I vaguely remember them supporting Black Grape and I even vaguely (given what I'd consumed) remember them playing at that free outdoor concert in Werneth Park that Dodgy headlined.
I think I liked the time, drugs and free love in 1998 than the Audioweb cover.
I saw them at Werneth Park around the same time. There's a video of them on

Like most, I really enjoyed Saturday. Left BP happy despite the disappointment. That was some performance on the quiz!

It’s amazing how balanced Robbie from Blackpool view is yet we still have a small number of fans who have this “sack him” mentality. Utterly ridiculous given his win ratio and league position. We need stability. Unsworth granted got given time without having a decent record previously to back it up, Mellon does so should be afforded time to create his own side in the summer. The constant sacking of managers doesn’t help and only causes more negatives.
It's easy to be calm when you're not invested. Like giving someone top drawer life advice when you're actually stil in their kitchen at 5am.

My line up would be 442 with 2 wingers including one from the youths as I think he's good enough.
Who's that?

Off then? Inspection over 24 hours before the KO. Doesn't look good.

Not that it'll come as a surprise...but he's not made a very good impression there at all...
Darrell mined nuggets with Pett and Kinsella but fools gold with Nuttall unfortunately...
I know DC likes to surprise everyone with team selections but starting with 10 men was bold. If Nuttall ever gets near the team again I will be shocked.
Because Nuttall is a big unit I thought he'd be decent in the air. WRONG Because he's a professional footballer I thought he'd be able to kick a football. WRONG.

Anyone know what's going on with him?
Supposedly very impressive when he first moved to Hull.
This season he failed to make the squad for a while, then when he did he couldn't get off the bench. Was shipped out to Bristol Rovers in league 1 and is a bench warmer again for them not really featuring much?
Work with a Hull fan he's really liked and they still think he'll do well. Apparently they made some really good signings in his position. No idea about Bristol Rovers.

My brother is a Halifax rugby fan watching their game today says the pitch is a mud bath. He can’t see Tuesday being on.
I had a gander on their forum and that's a common opinion.

Just because the same people keep making the same points in slightly different ways doesn’t mean he's destined for the sack.
