McAtee stars again. The same McAtee we couldn’t get the best out of. Managed to find plenty more who we can’t get the best out of since. Was it McAtee or is it the club ? Where’s the common denominator? Indicative of our current rotten to the core stinking club.

Good on Hurst and McAtee though. They’ve showed what can be done given the right chance.
They’ll be toasting the leader5 users thanked author for this post.
Sure he is, after all he’s a league player now. Wouldn’t surprise me if he isn’t a league or two above L2 either within a couple Of years. Always a player in there, just we couldn’t find it.

He’ll have to learn to play for somebody other than Hurst if he wants to go higher I reckon. Good player – bad attitude IMO.

As mentioned before Swann got rid of Hurst.Yet another mistake

McAtee was the one who wouldn’t get the best out of McAtee, shame on him totally unprofessional. Wage thief for us, but sure he’s happy the way he acted.
You are very wrong with your wage thief Awaywego, McAtee was reported to be on £800 per week with Scunny, whilst KVV £4,000, Gillead £2,000 and Turan £1,000 per week, so who are the wage thiefs??????????, he was another of Coxes F- up’s.

Unfair to call them loons BS.
At least they’re showing commitment, which is more than some at the club seem to be doing.
But yes, Hurst’s charges are able to give 120 minutes of effort whereas Cox’s lightweights could barely manage 60.
Disappointed we won’t be playing them next season, but hats off to them.
Callum Howe, missed opportunity? He’s a non-league clogger…maybe useful in our current plight but there’s a reason he was released whilst we were in League 1…same with Waterfall. As if they were ever going to get in front of the likes of Mirfin, Canavan and Wallace.

Maybe – it was definitely a bigger step up at the time. But perhaps if we’d properly invested in our youth team prospects rather than always buying shiny new players every 6 months, we might be in a slightly position now?
Look at Charlie Goode – brought as a development prospect, showed some real promise but given away to Northampton because we went out and bought Harrison McGahey and Byron Webster. Crazy.

Having suddenly become interested in the National League about Christmas time when it was obvious we were heading there I have watched a quite few games including 3 or 4 with Solihull involved. Howe has consistently looked a decent player in what is probably the best footballing team in the division. Certainly capable of playing in the EFL and rather better than any of our centre backs last season.
Many young players do not mature and become consistently decent players until at least 23/24 and some even later than that. For every Ryan Yates who could handle it at 19/20 there are many Calum Howe’s and Jack Muldoon’s who need longer to get there.
That is what worries me about our current squad. Most of the lads have shown potential that they may have a professional career but only 2 or 3 of them (if we are lucky) will be ready next season.
When you say Howe and Muldoon have ‘got there’, can we afford to give our youngsters 10 years of contracts hoping they will reach NL/Lower L2 level by their late 20s?

But of late we’ve not been in anything other than a crisis situation.
Would have been great to have gradually introduced young players into a team that was performing reasonably well, but instead they have been thrown into the lion’s den.
For the past 3/4 years our plight has been anything but normal.

Perhaps, in recent seasons, it was felt that the youngsters were not of a good enough standard to replace the senior pros. The clubs solution was to recruit enough players of such a poor standard that the youngsters had an opportunity to improve the team. Sadly, because we used too many at the same time, that didn’t work.

I think Levi was part of the squad that went down from L1.
My Bantam mate reckons he’s done okay for them this season.
