They’re looking to make the club sustainable and secure its future. Tough and unpopular decisions are necessary as part of that.

Lucky for me Cox’s mike was very poor, barely heard a word but didn’t miss anything I’ve not heard before I’ll bet.
Message for Ollie Turner:-
No idea how many Iron fans listened to the match commentary but I know how many were interested in the score in the Hull KR rugby!!

[cassidystash]

Do you want a club to support?

[cassidystash]

I’d certainly like to see a few more with the potential to play NL (at least) and on a reasonable NL wage identified and secured similarly. We’ll all have our own ideas on who they should be, let’s trust the board to choose wisely and act.

Maybe if you’d taken a bit longer I would have understood.
“7 years”?
” offering everyone”?

Thinking about that myself Ex O, did Marine over commit to the wrong game.

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.

I found it a very tough watch, surprised (and delighted) we got 3 points. So many players way off what they’re capable of. Made picking Fitz as my MOM very easy. Not impressed by Butler this time either, did Jimmy Dean give the pre-match and HT team talk? I didn’t see much evidence of the flexibility of shape that’s talked about.
Roberts for Barrows – Scales moved to RWB
Fishburn for Brogan – Beestin dropped to MF
Law for Kelly – like for like
Rowley for Beestin – like for like
Evans for Whitehall – extra defender, hanging on.

[cassidystash]

Butler doesn’t see the introduction of subs as weakening the team (I suppose he has to say that really) But 5 subs gives a greater opportunity to take off somebody not influencing the game and replacing them with somebody that will. Fishburn, Brogan and Rowley have shown the ability to do that and it’s likely we can add Carlton to that list very soon. Good options off the bench for a change. (No offence to Evans & Kelly BTW but they have a different role to play)

[cassidystash]

“Clunan is a nothing captain, with little to no presence or authority. Is he good at doing the phone calls and collecting the subs for the snooker tournaments and golf days?”

He’s quite good at talking to refs but not in the same league as Steven Dawson!

[cassidystash]

Challenging for a CM start will be Clunan, Scales, Rowley, Brogan, Law and probably Roberts and Beestin (when Carlton is back) depending on formation. Is Braithwaite llikely to get a game? Next season could easily be his time when several of those mentioned will be OOC, will they be retained on much reduced terms?

[cassidystash]

Barnard and Rod Fletcher was my time.

[cassidystash]

No loss if it is who everybody thinks it is.

Hopefully the end of “Free upgrades” for the usual suspects.

Surely a few free upgrades for the AA volunteer force wouldn’t be out of order.

[cassidystash]

Just watched the Brackley youtube. Never seen such a one sided game, we barely had a kick!!

[cassidystash]

Many PL forwards would have been delighted with a finish like Boycie’s. Left peg too.

[cassidystash]

Or a holiday?

[cassidystash]

Talking about subs I just remembered something I noticed. All subbed players interacted with Butler when coming off except Whitehall when he and Butler seemed to ignore each other. Trouble at t’mill? I hope not.

[cassidystash]

A word of caution, we won our first away game last season against a team that ran away with the league. Not again surely. UTI.

[cassidystash]

Very happy with the result of course and reasonably happy with the performance.
As for the broadcast, for me too much of Subbuteo sized players and camera was too low (I guess they don’t have a gantry) Also did I miss the team line-ups before the start or didn’t they bother showing them? The biggest problem was a commentator that made Whispering Ted Lowe seem like a shouter. Why didn’t he swap mikes with the summariser who was much clearer

[cassidystash]

Nothing in any Butler interview to suggest the signings were anything but his choice as far as I remember.

[cassidystash]

Would have been better on another thread les. Lack of sleep due to frustration or excitement?

Try to log in with a password that uses ! as your special character. As reported above some characters cause them problems.

Could you write that down and address it to Mrs CT please.

Here’s the email address they sent me les, very helpful chap called Richard.

[cassidystash]

Yes, fulfilled all requirements as I said. Had an email from NLTV and now logged in with their help. Apparently a problem with certain special characters that it won’t accept. Thanks for all your help and suggestions, AB and his boys better do their bit now after all this effort UTI.

[cassidystash]

Not if it won’t accept a valid password it’s not.
