League one forever

Darts has been good tonight, and Snooker starts on Saturday. Every cloud.

If Sheron was starting it would be 13, he’s scored more than all of them put together.

So half a team. .

Yeah defo, as is ‘you’re not fit to wear the shirt’ when we conceded in the first ten minutes.

Aye, said the same myself- I think he wants out, but won’t walk with two years left.

Things I’d rather I do than see any of them for a good few months. . Cheese grate my knees. Go shopping with the Mrs. Go to a family gathering with uncle nobhead. Watch fishing - live.

I just think that’s self protection against getting your hopes up. It’s easier to say- ‘we’re fucked’ than it is to say ‘I know we keep losing, but you never know’ Also- It’s very very difficult to clap and encourage shite. Or to keep your belief when the players looked lost or half arsed. Fans tend to reflect the players. When they’re at it, the crowd is up. When they’re miles off (again) the booing starts.

Yeah, I agree it would help in an ideal world. As I think they’re genuine questions to he asked and understood. It would soften the blow slightly if people at the club took accountability and explained the mistakes made, and what was in place to rectify it. Having said that, I can understand why they don’t do it - because it just turns into an opportunity for fans to vent. Be a bit like turkeys voting for Christmas.

Double post

Tell you what was weird. The apathy of being in the playoffs in Jan and Feb. The apathy or non acknowledgment of brilliant away form as a way to judge how we were doing overall at that time. What isn’t weird is fans becoming disillusioned, angry, apathetic when we look a mile off it game after game, and go on a run of one win in 9.

I wish we could forfeit this game and Saturday and just get on with the exodus.

It was ever thus. Unsworth had us bottom four at new year, we won a few in the second half of the season and finished top half, I think we were something like 3/4 wins short of making the playoffs. This season we were 5th in Feb, and only needed to win 3/4 of our final 11 games. . . to finish in the playoffs. Just another reminder of how unbelievably shit you can be and finish 7th. Unless you are worse than unbelievably shit. Night.

Aye, I thought about replying and then realised playing on the motorway is more fun than explaining our shite.

Mikey has contributed and I agree is the only one worth a deal, but as Light says you can’t offer him a deal and then ask the board to pay up others. I’ll drive Green wherever he wants to go. 10 minute spells every 3/4 games is nowhere near enough.

Aye, that’s a fair point.

Telford in NLN. I think that’s very feasible especially coming up a division.

Wave? I’ll be windmilling in that instance.

Well, if that’s true- I’d guess at the others as, Langley £500 Couto £500 Harrison £800 Bren 1K Dan £1500 Green 1k Tollit £800 Windass £500 Mikey 1k Hope £800 If I’m anywhere in the ball park - that’s 8.4K a week off the wage bill. What does that get us? 8 ok players on 1k 5 good players on 1.5k Even with this fag packet guessing it’s not difficult to see how difficult it’s going to be in the summer.

I think we’re agreed? The players who have nearly all played higher or won promotion have been bang average over the course of season, and have underachieved. However, they haven’t been helped by poor tactics, and also a complete imbalance with players regularly playing out of position or playing multiple positions- because we don’t have a balanced squad. Be nice next season if right back isn’t a centre half. If left back cover isn’t a centre half. If defensive midfielder isn’t a centre half. If centre mid don’t play RWB. If our only winger doesn’t LWB. If forwards don’t play midfield. If our star striker doesn’t play out wide.

There is absolutely zero chance he’s walking away from a contract with two years to run. I could however see him and the club falling out about the direction of the club (as he did at Tranmere) and leaving by mutual consent.

I hope you’re wrong, but I suspect you’re not.

The big worry with that is- I don’t see many high earners. . possibly Gardner and Maghey? Don’t see massive savings. (They still need to go though)

I’ve never seen Green play well for 90 minutes, let’s alone unplayable. Mikey I agree- he’s had a quite few good days. I released everybody - bar Mikey. But if he has to go to bring in better then so be it.

I’ve no idea who it was or wasn’t used for. But the facts speak themselves on the squad make up and the fact Mellon is clearly pissed off. Whatever they decide I just want Mellon and board singing off the same hymn sheet. We can’t any more muddled decision making.
