Looking at some of the footage from last season did think Ogle left his position on several occasions and we seemed to concede.
From what I saw, Ogle was very over-rated. Defensively suspect and his crossing was dreadful. His forward runs offered some threat but I never saw him as irreplaceable.

‘it won’t always be this good.’ If the team and coaches are drawing this much criticism already…

‘some were never happy about Butler being made head coach’
Correct – predicted he would play the ugly, defensive and direct football we are now seeing.
‘Dean getting the shove’
Incorrect – Was indifferent on Dean, though would still have kept him over Butler. As per Michelle the decision was financial.
‘and Butterfield being released’
Correct – was disappointed to lose him but seeing how direct we are he would have been wasted under Butler.
In the 3-5-2 think Ogle is the bigger miss as would have been better suited to the wing back role than any of our current full backs.
Sorry but that really is nonsense.
You could have joined the other 1,379 spectators and watched Butterfield playing 70 minutes for Gateshead last night in their 1-1 draw at Halifax. I’m sure it was a festival of free flowing attacking football.1 user thanked author for this post.
9 points from 3 games – 3 clean sheets. That’ll do for me for now. I don’t really want us to ‘do a Tamworth’, (other than finishing top of the league obviously) and I’d like us to play free flowing attractive attacking football, Unfortunately. we’re still in NLN and need to play the next team on the list. Comments from the Marine game seemed to compliment our opponents on their efforts and I’m sure their fans were well up for their home game last night – then they got dicked 3-0 by Farsley Celtic. One game at a time folks.

Thinking about that myself Ex O, did Marine over commit to the wrong game.
Hopefully we start to dominate the league and managers start to target more important games as they see it for their team rather than turning our games into cup finals. Worked well for Adkins and didn’t upset to many, and certainly didn’t stop 3000 of us going up to Newcastle and making it something special.1 user thanked author for this post.
Marine fans on twitter did say it was a lot poorer performance from them yesterday.

IIRC several teams that played above themselves against us last season (sometimes winning) were very poor in their next match. Some statto might have examples.
