Doubt I’ll be here come 2025 though as rent is extortionate and we want to buy. Could well be in Adelaide (where I’ll try and ask Ryan Tunnicliffe if he was ever close to signing for us) l'm well jel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flemboy Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Just listened to Mellon on the official site and he comes across as being very experienced, sincere and I'm sure the club will be proved right on choosing him He also talked about a book he's written called the First 100 Days about leadership skills and the proceeds go to help motor neurone disease which a close friend of mine died from when only 40..Anyway here's to a good game this afternoon and our fans/supporters enjoy the match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect one or two thrashings over the coming months because our squad has a soft underbelly. Plenty of quality there so we'll rinse one or two teams too. I'm sure a manager who's got five promotions under his belt can see we don't have many players who can put a firm tackle in. I'm sure, unlike DU, he'll remedy this when players who have become available. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was literally nothing there. Every battle lost, second to every ball, outmanoeuvred, outpaced and out skilled. It’s a good thing they didn’t appear to have anyone particularly left footed because the amount of times they skipped past us down the right wing then cut in almost to an open goal but couldn’t let go with their left foot. That really can’t happen again but with some of this lot we currently have I wouldn’t put it past them . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted October 26, 2023 Share Posted October 26, 2023 Thinking back to Tuesday I'd be gutted more than anything if I were Mellon that a group you are now managing disrespect you that much early on in your employment that they would effectively fail to turn up for work, after what he said early in his tenure I'd imagine that is as big a slap in the face you could give him and I doubt he will give some of them another chance if that happens again, any winning team never downs tools in that way and it showed real weakness all round, hopefully he's been able to iron out whatever the issue was Tuesday. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sobering thought for me is that as bad as we were, I cannot remember a game where we have been anywhere near as good and as dominant as Fylde were on Tuesday night! They didn’t just beat us they absolutely murdered us and were so much better than us all over the pitch! If we really have what has been described as a very decent squad I really don’t know how that could possibly happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we really have what has been described as a very decent squad I really don’t know how that could possibly happen. We may well have more talented players (off performances we don't know that for sure), what we can certainly say is, we have a squad unwilling or uncapable of leaving it all out there on the pitch. The other possibility is they are leaving it all out there on the pitch it what they perceive is their own position, hence not for the team.

The reason is most of our players are slow moving and thinking, cant pass a ball, and don't support or cover for each other. Fylde were the opposite, they will overtake us before long unless we sign some dynamic young players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
