You might want to withdraw that last sentence after todayโs match! In general though I agree with it, hence my opposition to more subs on the bench and three actual substitutions. -

Whatโs your point, caller? Did anybody actually say any of that? Or do you just take some perverse delight in trying to wind people up when we lose? Your posts can be as desperate as they are fake. -

Yes but come on, this comment wasnโt your finest: โYou must be annoyed Norwood scored and waved his arms a bit today.โ Seriously? To a fellow Latic? -

5 permitted subs is a joke, and gives an advantage to clubs with stronger squads. Disruptive as @Dave_Ogsays. It was bad enough going from 2 to 3. -
MATCH: Solihull Moors (A) 16/12/23

I agree with this. What you donโt say, but must be a contributory factor, is that in all probability your semi pro raised your collective level - itโs a team game, and he couldnโt have won the league by himself. Itโs a pity that Norwood canโt have a similar influence when games arenโt going well. The rest of the team would surely learn from and benefit from a player of his skill and experience. We might even string a few wins together eventually! -

Guaranteed goals implies a goal (or more) per game. So not guaranteed. -

Yes, they made a good comeback to be fair! This league can certainly deliver on goals/entertainment, but I so want us to get out of it! -

It's a 90 minute game, Brian. Well, often 100 + minutes these days. -

Given the tidal wave of shock over our line up, I fully expect us to win 2-0. -

Well, the BBC Sport website has surpassed itself. It's currently showing Norman playing up front, and 3 subs, Willoughby, Fondop and Hope. -
On a more general point though, I do hope at some point, maybe towards the end of the season if we miss out on the play offs, MM will try out some of the youth team players. For a club at our level bringing through our own youngsters has to be a central ambition. I know it's another universe and it was towards the end of the game, but AC Milan were happy to bring on a 17 year old the other night against Newcastle in a big CL game, for whom Lewis Miley, the same age, has been playing well. If you're good enough, you're old enough - at any level.

Ha that reminds me of the quote somebody (Sir Kenneth Cork?) made years ago - he said if he walked into a corporate HQ and saw lots of marble in the reception area, he suspected the business was on thin ice!

I don't think it needs to be seen as desperate. As it happens, I'm with you in that I would be bloody annoyed if my tips weren't being responded to - even an acknowledgement would be something, and if that basic minimum doesn't happen, that's poor and unprofessional. As said above, the club should at least have the courtesy to acknowledge your recommendations even if they don't follow them up for whatever reason. Of course people there may be busy and with the best will in the world not able to respond immediately, but it doesn't take too long to send an email/text/phone call to say thanks, we'll take a look. You have every right to feel disillusioned based on what you say you've experienced. Next time you highlight a player, why not point out previous tips who have gone on to thrive elsewhere. We all agree this squad is not where it needs to be, particularly given what the Rothwells have spent to date, and we can't afford to miss out on players with the potential to improve us.

I can only imagine how frustrated you must be when that happens, but you mustn't let it stop you from making recommendations. MM may be more receptive than the previous manager, and if it helps you could fairly point to previous tips which have been ignored yet gone on to make the grade with other clubs.
