OneSizeFitz

Isn't it obvious? He's saying that if we exclude the 4 wins in 17 period last season after Unsworth took charge, and we exclude the period this season where he only won 1 game in 9, and we only include the period where he got results, and we include all of Mellon's games, then he basically did as well as Mellon.

Needs to switch to three at the back at half-time...

Except him scoring more than three times as many goals as anyone else in the squad...

Jack Byrne was always a great example of what players should look to do. His first touch wasn't just to control the ball - it was progressive. Our lot seem to have to concentrate to bring the ball under control, by which point the opportunity is gone.

So you're saying that he's got a history of delivering success at this level with teams with big budgets and high expectations?

Today was disappointing. Not sure what the plan was supposed to be, and the lack of intent to try to win the game was frustrating. Ebbsfleet were better than us, but only very slightly. 0-0 was probably fair. Hudson was great, and Hobson and Raglan were solid. Wing-backs were fine but nothing more. The rest of them were all pretty hopeless... Some strange substitutions from MM today, too. No idea where Dallas was supposed to be playing, but I don't think I've ever seen a player have such little influence on a game. He was on for 40 minutes and I genuinely don't remember him touching the ball. Garner showed one or two nice touches, but nothing more. We had no control at all in the middle of the park, but that's partly because we persisted with aimlessly hoofing it over the midfield for pretty much the whole game. Still, a point away from home...

I think it might have something to do with him scoring 16 goals for us this season, when nobody else has got more than 5...

Imagine the meltdown on here if we'd just signed a striker who couldn't even catch the matchday squad for a team two leagues below...

Far better than the most expensive 17 year-old in history (at the time). Must be something special. Hope to see him in action for the first team soon - particularly if he can play on the wing...

It amazes me how people seem to think it's a reasonable expectation of MM to have turned this bunch of non-league cloggers into Barcelona in the space of three months. He's come in, improved our form, got us into the playoff places, and made several well-received signings. Many of those haven't played much football recently so will take time to get up to speed - and need managing accordingly. Am I pleased with yesterday's performance and result? No. Does it surprise me that we're a bit inconsistent and throw in a few howlers of a performance at this point? No. Do I think he's doing a decent job so far? Yes. Give the bloke a chance...

A reminder that this is the first time in three months that we've failed to score at home under our most negative manager ever.

I think it's probably because McGahey is better at football than Sutton.

Even if we win all of our remaining games, I still don't think we'd win the title...

Harkins had real flair. He'd glide around the pitch almost Gascoigne-esque. The kind of player who justified your entrance fee.

He was good last night regardless though, to be fair to him...

...errrr?

Let's hope he recreates his Solihull form and not his Kilmarnock form...

Too lightweight

Proves my point...

He's started four games all season. Let's not get ahead of ourselves...

Tarkowski wasn't playing at home against Hendon, to be fair to him... Sutton might make it to League 1 or 2 level eventually, but I'd be surprised if he plays consistently any higher than that.

Risk of injury handling a jar of salad cream - almost nil. Risk of injury playing 90 minutes of professional football on heavy pitches multiple times per week - not almost nil.

Yep, he tells them to misplace passes and not track runners too.

And Ed Francis is out indefinitely after fracturing his skull on NYD.

He's the very definition of mediocre. Sadly that puts him head and shoulders above most of the teammates he's had here...
