I think he's got some qualities, but he often follows one good performance up with a string of bad ones. York, followed by Wealdstone and sub appearance against Maidenhead a case in point...

None of the strikers are contributing consistently this season, Nuttall included. But I don’t think it’s fair to properly judge any of them yet until their service gets sorted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope the club gives us a good, detailed insight into their recruitment process and why Thompson is the preferred candidate [if he actually is]. Of course, some may say they are under no obligation to disclose that info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When DU was in charge, the fact we weren't firmly cemented in the top 3 as people expected has changed to the players aren't good enough. Which is it? Was it DUs coaching or players not good enough. If they're not good enough may as well stay as we are. If it's a coaching issue then we only need 2 players really There’s enough there to be challenging near the top of the league. We’re maybe not as good as we thought we were, but I’m sure we’re a lot better the man we’re showing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

penrhyn Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) Well maybe now with Thommo in charge the players can be coached into playing a certain way instead of being too reliant on stats, stats , stats. Feel like too much time was spent in the past on stats , rather than hard yards on the training ground . I know stats are important but felt it was being overdone for NL team with a rookie manager , Hopefully we will see some improvement when more time is available on the training ground and we can add some players .

Him and Hobson have had so much to deal with and dealt with it well. Throwing themselves in front of shots and defending their box really. Hogan’s been excellent since ST came in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a massive amount is needed. I strongly believe if we bring in two complete nutcases in the middle will transform us. Plenty of quality in the squad, it just needs firming up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just bit a little bit wary, if its not a permanent appointment i.e. until the end of the season they won't payout. Wouldn't want anyone piling in at those odds only to get stung....

I’d like to think a couple of midfielders would shore us up but I still think there’s too many in the squad who are not consistent and don’t seem to be able to absorb what’s being asked of them.

Stainrod Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Our forwards are nowhere near as good as we hoped they would be, wouldn’t be bothered about moving any of them on except Norwood who I think can come good. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want anyone piling in at those odds only to get stung.... Should clarify, I wasn’t suggesting people take advantage of the odds. More that if it was as nailed on as was being made out, I would have expected him to be much shorter odds or even the market pulled. But for there to have been no change makes me think it’s not sorted yet. Could be wrong of course! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
