Well done Scunny flipin typical not being able to make it tonight.
Hopefully follow up on Saturday.
Tops sounded more impressed than Saturday

Great result and much better performance tonight
HOWEVER…… this is the perfect example of how awful a lot of the PART TIME & AMATEUR teams are at the level and why so many of us are fed up of the defensive/crap tactical approach employed all too often.
The reality is that this is not a difficult league!!
Especially when you’ve got this squad/facilities/fans etc…
A good manger will prove that… hopefully that’s Butler.One thing we’ll all agree on… if tonight starts a run that puts us clear at the top everyone will be happy because we all want the same thing even if our opinions on Butler/Tactics etc… differ
Go get promotion boys!!

To be fair, this is the third game now where we have had a more attacking outlook and decent spells, with today being the best. Granted, Rushall and Farsley are weaker sides at this level and we did lose at Southport, but that was more down to lapses in concentration, which went beyond Butler’s control
Maybe this has shown that Butler does have the capacity to change things. One thing I have been impressed with is seeing the full backs make more forward runs, which was hindering us before, and is a part as to why we’re having more success up front. Maybe it will be a false dawn and Butler won’t succeed, but I don’t think anyone really knows that.
One thing’s for sure, for me, is that a month’s blip shouldn’t mean losing all hope and making certain judgments on the capability of the manager or his ability to change things after a bad spell.

Well put SS.

Cracking result; pleased To see Whitehall increasing his tally and young Fish getting another start and a goal. Just need Carlton on the scoresheet soon and we finally have some options up front where we looked so lacking a few weeks ago.
Have to follow this up with another good performance and win on Saturday now.

We looked way better in midfield. Butler better not move Beestin again. I’d put Brogan ahead of Scales in CM too. Carlton looked a lot sharper. Fish played well again, all in all a good night. Radcliffe are crap as well so can’t see why we won’t turn them over.
Question is if we keep improving against capable teams.

Carlton looked a lot sharper.
Ubaezuounu had by far his best game for United, last night (although that’s not saying a lot as he hasn’t played much). He was fast and aggressive in intent and, for me, made a real difference up front.
Good performance (missed it as well!), key is consistency now, need to start picking up away from home, understand we were unlucky at Southport. Hopefully Butler has looked at the stats in terms of trying to settle on a one goal lead and we’re now putting teams away at home, picking up wins away (like KL coming from one down) will be the key in the title race.

Felt a bit sorry for them. They tried to play some decent stuff but we tore them to shreds. Great to see we kept at it until the death and stuck a few more in the onion bag.

On a side note- another absolute sh1t show been allowed to happen at Farsley with them now playing at Buxton for the foreseeable.
Good interview with a couple of their fans on the Ironhour podcast that goes into more detail.

Still don’t like 3 CBs but what a difference it makes playing the WBs further forward, 2 up top and Beestin in MF. Shows much more attacking intent, is Butler brave enough to try it in away games?

Correct. Look to win every game, we won’t but in this league, with the players we have, it’s worth a try. Just a question and my opinion of course, no need for thinly disguised abuse is there?

Has AB discovered the hidden formula which makes the very best of his preferred formation? I do hope so.
Carlton being part of the setup is starting to look positive; Fishburn keeps on improving; Beestin back in CM makes a great deal of sense – Cass making good points.
Am feeling more optimistic than I’ve felt in a good few weeks.2 users thanked author for this post.
Last season:
24 Oct Spennymoor Town 6 – 0
28 Oct Bishop’s Stortford 6 – 1I actually tipped the 6-1
I might do 6-1 again this Saturday.
T’other way round for me sadly. I never thought my team scoring would disappoint me but I went 5-0.

Deerey it’s a football forum, they’re designed to give nitpickers a platform. One slight gripe about last night and it is slight. I still think Kelly offers a bit more class to the left hand side and knocks a better ball in than Denton.
I like the look of young Fish upfront too, he needs more game time. I definitely think there’s a player in there.
