I could not agree more Sharp_Shooter.
The poor on field activity is over-shadowing the good off-field activity at our club.
We have gone from a nine point lead to precariously perched on goal difference.
The clubs strengths you point out are being undermined by poor and negative management.
As another poster said “we don’t want to change the management but we want change from the management.”
But it won’t be long the rumblings are beginning.

If you appoint internally then you’ll always have someone who was part of last year’s problems.

No one can say I haven’t given my support to managers down the years and wanting and to give them a decent shout at the job.
Sorry but that finally ended with Jimmy failing to get us promotion, when the writing was on the cards was there for him most of the season, I see the same writing on the wall this season with Butler.
What do others see that’s different from last season barring his names not Dean who also had us at top of the league by the way.
He’s not brought in a single player in that has improved the squad, even WGs great hope Carlton as been a dud, bulled up so much even i was buying into him but when he gets his chance where was he yesterday when he was needed.
Targets games. appears he even targets a point what’s the mantra ” don’t concede and you get a least a point”
Be well happy for you tell me what I’m missing about him .2 users thanked author for this post.
Away, he’s only just come back from injury and isn’t match fit. Pinning our misfortune on him isn’t exactly fair. Bit of a disaster up to now with injury problems, but he’s going to need time. Only problem is he’s going to need time we simply don’t have.

I was fair I mentioned all of the signings, and out of all of them I said I was beginning to buy into him none of the others, when you get your chance you’ve got to take it whenever it comes.
Bench warming at best on Tues if Danny is fit, if played got to show his worth, simple really.1 user thanked author for this post.
‘Given we have limited resources perhaps we should sit tight until either a) Butler proves himself or b) we part ways and let the new man bring in his own players in the hope that he’s got a better eye than Butler.’
Have you become de facto club owner or summerts?

Without doubt the players brought in so far (who ever identified them as worth a punt AB LT ?) have been really poor.
Charlton suspended and injured twice
Rowley ..why ? never picked
Fish eager young lad given little chance has had one good game
Brogan benchwarmer
Nicolson first few games looked a decent signing but all gone pear shaped recently and poor on numerous levels
Shrimpton resigned why? never pickedNot being a doom n gloom merchant but i just cant see us getting promoted if AB doesnt change his chosen formation which sadly appears to be cast in stone .. expect to see the odd exceptional performance now n then Brackley, Kiddy and Farsley but other than those its been really negative boring and totally underwhelming and IMO so lucky to still be top.
Football is supposed to be entertaining trilling making fans eager to return for more alas whats being served up at the moment especially at home will drive fans away …no highlights vid of Radcliffe so far as probably werent any except the Fitz penalty save.
Worryingly ABs post match interview wasnt a very inspiring listen how can a manager be happy with that …”Radcliffe are a good well organized side” IT THE RELEGATION ZONE .. i stopped listening a couple of minutes in before the customary “still top ov the league” sound bite
Sticking with my pre season prediction of finishing 7-10th and even then no way AB will be sacked hes here to stay lets just hope he sees the light and changes this terrible system.

Thanks to Butler whoever does end up coming in down the line “which is a forgone conclusion in my eyes” he/they are going to have to ship out say Shrimpton, Rowley and permacrock Law to get wide players in.
I still think we’re a striker short too. This squad needs balancing up. It’s a wonder Butler didn’t think to himself when he got those players in to play this formation, what happens if it doesn’t work !
Butler’s well and truly backed himself into a corner because he has no other alternative but to play this 5 at the back due to lack of options out wide.
Next appointment we need a manager from this level with experience who knows who and what it takes to get out this division. We need to stop this in house managerial rubbish. It worked with Adkins, but I’d rather we didn’t go down this route again.
Who’s it going to be next ?……Scunny bunny, toilet cleaner, pint puller from the Iron Bar ?

Agree with just about all of that WGs except i cant see AB getting the boot anytime soon regardless where we finish and more so even in the event of a poor run of form which arguably we are in now .. FWIW IMO whilst we are in and around the top and play offs no way hes going no where however poor the performances.

Butler needs to be given time, whether we like it or not. He’s still learning. A long way to go. Don’t be fooled by supporters who start present ‘should he stay or should he go?’ arguments seen elsewhere. Most likely they just want Butler out asap with little care for the damage it would inflict. The likes of X and the Facebook group are rife with them.

Then we are trapped coz we shan’t be able to sign the couple of players we so desperately need.1 user thanked author for this post.
I’m reading this thread at top of the league and wondering what sort of parallel universe some of the above are in . We are not a league club any more, we have players of a low standard as that’s what our income and league position indicates we can afford. We also have a few high earners who failed last season still dictating our style of play .Those high earners are making decent changes hard to make . Pointy and Divey are a huge problem for us. More than Butler in my opinion. I’d give him 3 years as I would most managers .Sick of this sacking cycle we’re in . The conman’s pals had to go but since we sacked Alexandre unfairly we’ve never recovered

We have been told that there was cash for loan players if …
Losing a third of our 4,400 from a few weeks back seems probable rather than possible if we keep on giving bad displays.
Losing points when playing attractive football is always less damaging.Whitehall has to be the first name on the teamsheet. We missed him hugely on Saturday.

There was none of this let’s give Dean time Deerey, all i heard he’s out his depth, jobs to big for him, not managed at this level, pub team manager. Even though he’d done really well in non league football,I didn’t want him out because of that in the end it was failing to get us promoted and the failure to change tactics and mainly a negative approach to games.
Remind you of anyone.

Butler has recruited for the 5-3-2 but the players he’s brought in have all failed to make the cut.”This is what I find hard to understand. Butler wants to play with WBs, we didn’t have any when he took over and we didn’t sign any. So we have 3 FBs trying to be WBs and 3CMs that barely get a look in. Makes the recruitment seem even more bizarre, was 3-5-2 not the recruiters plan?
