    Playing 4-4-2 should have given us more space and Darlo less.
    It didn’t.
    Why not?

    Majority of players same as last season we didn’t go up then because manager wasn’t good enough looks like we’re not going up this season is it manager?
    Or is it the best squad of players in NLN history ( opinion of others not me )who are the failures last night for me Whitehall looked disinterested passing from most was terrible but we got a point so everything is okay.
    I hope Andy sorts it out and we get going at the end of season we all want success and don’t want to be in this division again next season.
    Either way I doubt many of this squad will be around next season as cost cutting if still in here and new players needed if we go up

    Never been a fan of a stubborn manager. Certainly not impressed when the basics are lacking in full time professionals – struggle to control a ball and it seems are unable on many occasions to pass the ball successfully.

    After a pre-season for fitness, ‘friendlies’ to establish team shape and 19 games I do not expect to hear a Manager to say in more than one post match interview “We have plenty to work on” !! – it should have already been worked on it is not good enough. You always want your own to succeed but this season is a must for promotion so the gates do not start to slide back. And they will if the fans are not entertained and not listened to.

    I agree with much of what you say but to expect a manager to say that his team are performing at 100% would invite ridicule. Perhaps “there are still things to work on” might have been better. AB’s regular “we know where we have to be better” is the one that annoys me more as we never seem to get better, accurate passing, as you say, is one of the main areas. A basic for a professional footballer you’d think.
