Lee Sinnott Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 24 minutes ago, Shrek said: He needs to go for it. Instill confidence by encouraging them to attack. For me best side for Tuesday is: Norman Shelton Yarney Hogan Kitchen Rooney Chapman Sheron Tollet Timmy Nutall Yes I've including the god awful Tollet but we've no other options wide unless Hope is back. Tollitt has been bad since he got his new contract but I agree with you Andy -we have nobody else. Reckon he'll bring Clarke back in and shift Yarney to full back...

True Tic Posted February 5, 2023 Share Posted February 5, 2023 5 minutes ago, Steve_R said: It looks plain to see that Unsworth’s going nowhere. Before yesterday I thought very slowly improving, and that this would continue for the rest of the season, and although it wouldn’t be pretty we would finish mid table, well away from danger. The crunch would come in pre season, where we had a Ronnie Moore situation with season ticket sales well down as no one could stand the manager. After that yesterday I’ve lost hope of mid table mediocrity and I’m dreading next season already. I think you’re right, he’s going nowhere, but the same can’t be said about the fans if this dross continues Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least 4 home performances as bad as yesterday and in every game we have looked like we have fewer players on the pitch than any opposition , no matter how talented they may have been. We are the worst team in or out of possession I have seen this season and its not beyond possibility we may go down again. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hogan was a leading player in the league last season and Rooney has dominanted this league for many years. Hope is better than this level. We've got a good group, just lacking key elements and a manager who has the confidence to go at teams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s not the same as get out of our fucking club, or it’s not good enough. Love this boys. Prior to yesterday, we lost 1 in 6- and you were all quick to tell us. Now we need to ditch the formation that has given him his best run of results. . okaaay. You’re as fickle as the rest of us. Just pointing out 442 isn't a wonder formation that guarantees wins despite what half the people over 50 think because "back in the good old days" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shelton won Promotion Chapman won promotion Nuttall Fondop Norman Both Clarke’s Abraham Have played nearly all their career in league football. But other than the starting 11 either winning promotion or playing a division/s higher I’m sure they couldn’t catch at sides at the top of table. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it’s the only formation we’ve done anything with - and seeing as though the manager is untouchable and I want to win games, it looks like it’s here to stay. If a new manager could get his ideas across in a different formation - that wins games, I’d ditch it tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are not in the bottom 4 and still have multiple games in hand on our rivals... People always look on games in hand as a positive, but if we lose our game in hand over Gateshead on Tuesday, they’ll actually go above us and we’ll be back in the bottom four. in our case games in hand could turn out to be a bad thing.

So all these good players with good characters who have won all these promotions are all consistently underperforming at the same time and that's all down to the manager and his tactics?
