Frankly Mr Shankly Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 4 hours ago, True Tic said: I wish I felt the same. 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. It's fifth division mate. Of course there is a lack of consistency. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We said the same thing when we were in the third tier. You can get players who are consistent performers in the fifth tier but when they step up they can't consistently perform at a higher level If that makes sense. Chesterfield and Barnet appear to have players who consistently perform in the 5th tier we should be able to have some aswell. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they dont give it to another inexperienced manager. Before anyone says anything im not saying Thompson cant be good because i reckon he can be.

Summerdeep Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 This is interesting and a bit worrying at the same time. It was a pretty explosive state of affairs in the boardroom at the end of the Ken Bates era, and again during the John Lowe v Harry Massey period in early 1972, but this has the potential to be equally destructive, at least if I'm reading that stuff quoted from Twitter correctly.

Dear oh dear. It's either Barry Owen or someone pretending to be Barry Owen. One's irrlevant, the other's probably mad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeteG Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Say what you want but there is a split on the appointment at board level and that's not come from Barry Owen as some are suggesting but from members of staff. Reading between the lines, Frank wants to give it ST whilst others don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
