He’s done nothing since he’s signed. Yeah he's been a disappointment, don't really see what he brings to the side at all. Like Lee says above, might be a better shout a right back, but I certainly haven't seen anything to justify the hype from Hartlepool fans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't really noticed him do much in the games I've seen, will be making a concerted effort to look out for him next time out. Again, I'll caveat it by saying an assist is an assist. But the pass for Nuttall's goal was straight to the Wealdstone centre back, who managed to collide with his own centre back and let the ball trickle through to Nuttall...

It was also Sutton who played that ball wasn’t it ? It did Shelton take it off him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm certain he'll come good for us, but he needs to do more. Much more... Forshaw's 2 goals this week kind of make my case that penalties shouldn't be discounted - the first was an open goal from 1 yard out, the second a keeper clearance that cannoned off him into the net. 2 goals from open play according to the stats books but for me, scoring a penalty is harder than both of those. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A striker is bound to be in the right place at the right time to take a penalty. No guarantee that will be the case for a tap in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Branston Pickle Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I don't think any goal should be discounted. They all count. We've struggled down the years for people who could take penalties or score tap ins 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying penalties should count wherever they rank on the difficulty level. Maybe I'm biased because I used to take them! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to that Yeovil are on course to score less than a goal a game which doesn't bode well in a relegation battle. After Wrexham on Saturday our run-in is mostly against mid-table teams. Can't see us bombing for the rest of the season. Goal difference advantage wiped out now, and 2 teams below win, we're definitely not safe yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this is a freak result against a club that should be two levels above their current position and it's on the back of our three straight draws against mid-table teams. I can see us picking up at least 6 points from the last 6 games which would be more than fine. Add to that you have Yeovil who are currently losing, Gateshead who are going to have to fit in 9 league matches in a month with a small squad and York who are having a lot of off-field problems at present and I wouldn't be surprised if we stayed up without even getting another point.

Gateshead could only name 4 subs today, with one being an academy player making his debut in the squad and another academy player making his first start. They could really struggle to pick up enough points to catch us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aside from their small squad I can see their upcoming trip to Wembley being a disadvantage for their league status. Maidstone can't catch us. If we draw against Scunny they can't catch us (barring a weird turn round in Goal difference) A lot of the teams below us are still to play each other - they can't both win. We could have enough points already. But draws at Scunny and Yeovil wil be enough to see us safe I reckon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he signs and is poor, then it will be a signing made by the club.’ which probably added to my misinterpretation… btw You DID say that Willoughby will sign in the summer, so, if that doesn’t happen, I’ll be back on your case then! Willoughby has signed in the summer... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
