And if you thought Lincoln was a pig to get to...

Wish it was Norwich. 

How many of the youths have we given contracts to?

Foreshaw?Atherton? 

Not sure how it works at this level but surely we should be tying some of these lads up.

Yes they did. There was a whole conversation about potential new signings watching that video and being turned off. Keep up.

But then again who gives a shit. They're all only interested in the money.

Bradford have sold 13000 and they're still shit.

Indeed. We were in L1 which is probably a tier too high for him. Chesterfield fans love him and are hoping he’s retained by the way.

Yes but he got stick because he was a lazy bastard not because he lacked ability.

Very similar to most of our current squad.

I'm coming round to the idea that whatever happens Mellon will need till this time next year to be properly judged, I know that's a swing in my opinion and some might say that's fickle but some things are stacking up differently for me now, I've been critical of managers in the past when really they took the shit for bad owners and I'm of the opinion now that there is little point gunning for Mellon because our problems run deeper.

 

None of us really care about styles of play and tactics if the results are good and I personally feel Mellon with half a dozen solid signings can deliver that and in this situation we shouldn't be scrutinizing the manager but looking at the deeper issues and the culture that exists which iI have a feeling he's determined to worm out, dirty washing is out now and some of these players no longer have anywhere to hide and if that takes another month, six months or a year to correct then so be it I say. 

 

I'm going to back him after the news broken by Suzanne last week, short of a club statement it answered many of my concerns and gave me an insight in to where the club is at.

 

I think we've hit rock bottom and now I feel the only way is up and I think Mellon has the balls and personality to put the foundations in place even if I don't always agree with everything he does. I suppose I'm coming round to the idea of trusting the process.

It's really not easy for Mellon.Brian Clough is a prime example. He got rid of Currie because he parked in his parking spot. Then Brian was destroyed at Leeds by player power. I prefer a manager who speaks his mind.It takes a lot of moving parts for a team to be successful but no.1 is players commitment, effort and loyalty cause we pay their wages.Bad apples in a team are a problem.If players are undermining the manager its not the managers fault.Players not performing,not trying and moaning should be dealt with.Ideally they should be sacked but as has been said many times agents and contracts limit the managers ability to respond to the situation especially when half your team was obtained by your previous numpty manager.Mellon needs a chance to sort us out. Hopefully all the bits of the jigsaw will fall into place next year.Till then he and the owners need our support.

Alty 1-0 up at Bromley, Linney goal with a Conn-Clarke assist.

 

Nobody can tell me that these playoff teams have more overall ability than we have, they just seem to have a plan and style of play and stick with it.

 

They are also proving as well that once you are in them anyone can progress.

Upsets me to think instead of linney we got Nuttall.We really haven't recruited very well have we? If only they listened to B.P.

Halifax are all over the place in their play-off match. I'm reassessing my opinion of Tyler Golden as a summer target for us. 

F.Off Halifax. See you next year when we come to yours for a swim.

True.  But I don't get why it exchanged so abruptly from when we were 5th.  I'm sure something happened.  I know he's dour but he's looked completely uninterested since then

Something has happened. It will all come out in the end. Suffice to say certain players have caused deep unrest at the club.Their are no friendships and that shows as a lack of fight and effort on the pitch.

I’ll be there…

 

To get a refund for my Halifax ticket, then fucking off to do something that doesn’t make me want to cry.

I'm going. For once there should be enough pies!!

What worries me.

Booty, Berry, Colclough,Golden all players linked to us but we got none. Why?Will anybody want to come here?other than old timers wanting to draw a wage?We need youth,pace and desire.

At least we didn't buy Dallas, but then if we had a midfield......

Green hat Trick?

About tonight. Is Fondop back?Is Green fit?Has Reid been forgiven?Is mcgahey injured?Are we playing 4,4,2 with a R.BHave we signed a creative midfielder? 

Answers on a postcard. 

I like Mellon but sometimes I think he's becoming Unsworth in disguise. 

What's he saying today?

We've played a lot of top teams recently.Rochdale?Oxford?and drawn too many that we should have won.I wonder if he and the players are on drugs?I feel for him but come on. The players have shown no desire. Hopefully he can sort it out.

Some suggested that the managers dour personality may not necessarily be the right fit for this club but were told such things didn't matter.

Now your really scraping the barrel. Fact is the players we have are shit.

It's still possible?just.

Twitter, tonight's match Aldershot quote- nothing to report in 1st 15 mins. Game largely being played in the middle. If only !Something I dream of!!

Still don't know  why Halifax, or their fans, would be dancing with glee at having three home games rearranged away cos the local council have failed to maintain the pitch.

They would have had to play those games whatever but now when they play us at Chesterfield they won't have 1800 fans backing the opposition.Whose gonna go to Chesterfield midweek? 

3 minutes ago, Boyyou said:

Why? Fax have to play Tuesday,  Thursday and Saturday lunchtime.

Because we've sold a load of tickets for a local match not one midweek in another distant town.

Maybe we didn’t agree to it. If there is no agreement the NL would have to intervene and make a decision as the game needed playing this week at some point.

We need a statement from the club to explain this lunacy immediately. 

Halifax will be dancing with glee.

At Chesterfield on Thursday

.

Our club is mental agreeing to this. We could still have a chance of a playoff place.

All the advantage goes to Halifax despite it being their fault. Fuck off.

Don't hear Halifax fans or Aldershot fans calling for their managers to be sacked after both losing today.Our so called fans need to grow up, drink less before games and support the manager.

I've renewed my season ticket because I support a club I've followed for over 60 years. 

But to see Frank's best intentions being ruined is heartbreaking.

Win our last 2 games and we might yet be celebrating.Mellon is a good man and I honestly believe he knows what to do. He is not deluded like unsworth was. He needs our support and time.He has vast experience and he knows who's not doing their job. Those players will either have their arses smacked or will be removed next year.Lets just beat Halifax for a start.
