Release them all, bar Gardner, who should be sold to the glue factory.

Thar doesn't make the likes of Willoughby Tollit and Reid the answer.
It was Ethan Walker a few weeks ago, he'd change everything and be just what we need. He played a few games, was shite, and now he never mentions him.

Huddersfield would be the best bet. Great pitch, just as near for supporters.
Relations between Halifax and Udders aren't great at board level.

I can’t think of a single player who has improved since Mellon came in!
Lundstram is showing green shoots.
Raglan had been dropped after a substandard start before Mellon came in, but is now probably the #1 pick at the back.
Hudson isn't everyone's cup of tea, but has made the #1 shirt his own.
Gardner (retire please) is probably playing at the top of his game - certainly better than what he was under DU.

That's a failing on the medical department, if they're failing to veto signings based on injuries/condition.

I think one of us could have won the league if we had Jamie Vardy playing up front for us...
Who signed him?

He is 30+ games in now and has had 6 months on the training ground!
It's his complete lack of progress not only with the existing players but also with the additional players he has brought in that worries me.It’s been said over & over that these players are more than good enough to secure a playoff place.
It hasn’t happened under two managers over two seasons. If it’s not the players then it must be the manager?
Bit different when you have a match every week to prepare for though, isn't it? And the players he's brought in aren't from the end of season free transfer pool, they're the ones clubs were happy to let go part way through a season - either recently long term injured or deemed surplus to requirements - sticking plasters in other words. Judge him on the squad he builds after the summer activity.

You can see why people feel like this though, given the huge expectation to be one of the favourites to win the league, and all the attacking talent we were purring over before the season started.That huge expectation was foolish though. We ended last season with DU fluking his way to a decent run of results, but at no stage did we look like real contenders, and that continued at the start of this season, even with a few decent (on paper) signings. The longer we don't play over the summer, the better we get on paper. But reality is a harsh mistress.
It's the same with any player who's out of the side for a while - the calls grow and grow to get them back in the side as they must be better than the crap currently playing. Conveniently forgetting that the likely reason they're out of the side in the first place is they were crap themselves previously.
People need to reset their expectations. We're in non-league. We're able to attract better talent than most others in non-league, but the players are never going to be world beaters. We're up against sides who've played together for longer than we have, who normally do one thing really well. We're still building that, and repairing the damage done by the AL years. It's going to take time - we're not going to win every match. It's foolish to judge MM based on what we've seen so far - most of the players aren't his, and he hasn't had a pre-season to properly bed in what he wants to do.

Yep, we come back to this:
Alex Reid said Unsworth was always at them to get the ball down and play.
Mellon says he is always calling for more football.....and yet, at our worst, our fallback tactic is kick and head it.
Mystery.

Almost as if the players are......a bit dim?

Common theme in examples of ‘improved’ performances - we are the under dog. A free hit as they say. See wrexham at home last season, chesterfield 2 weeks ago, even second half against Fylde (free hit as we were 3-1 down and the pressure was off).
1 point. Great.

Gateshead fielding an ineligible player according to their fans. Player given straight red at Ebbsfleet has started, but according to some of their fans it should be a 3 game ban. Unsure if they are right or not.
Just a bad tackle wasn't it? 1 game ban (which was Saturday)?

Exactly my point on another thread SJ.
Chesterfield midfielders/wingers:
Taylor 12, Dobra 10, Banks 8, Mandeville 7, Colclough 7, Berry 6, Jacobs 5.
CBs: Grimes 4, Palmer 3.
Don't forget to scrub off penalties

Anyone know why there was a Cameroon flag hung up in the Latics section, had the Yaoundé supporters club nipped over for the game?
