    Could easily achieve, and hopefully he’s aware of it. Would be some feat

    I haven’t seen many games recently, only highlights. How does Beck do at corners because that’s a dead ball cross into the box situation – is he a threat at these or does the number of defenders around him nullify it? Roberts cutting in may irritate some but it’s been quite successful this season, putting the part time full back on his weaker foot gives him a very good advantage

    Why did you post the stat about top 7 at home. As soon as I saw zero wins it filled me with dread

    The guy couldn’t lie straight in bed, made up stories about his ‘hurt’ and fans throwing stuff at his car, turned the fanbase against each other and the club were days away from oblivions all the while this pathetic example kept pulling out the ‘look at me I’m depressed and hurt….’ he always has an excuse. 15 counts of illegal activity, driving the club into the ground, stopped paying suppliers, stopped paying staff – there was always a’look at me’reason….when it comes out, guess what….

    Some of those monthly losses will be Hilton decisions (decisions made for the sole purpose of driving the club into non existence). He appears to repeat the same nonsense wherever he goes. Let’s not forget he just stopped paying players and staff overnight, supply chain over a period of weeks.
    One of the crowd funders was banned from the club because at the time it was a dictatorship.
    If it walks like a duck talks like a duck…….

    He’s neither fluid fast or a forward. All very well winning a ‘flick on’
    But if that flick goes spooning out 40 yards then it’s not really going to work.
    Roberts being indulgent? He’s leading scorer and leading assists so I’ll accept his alleged indulgence when he gets us another win.
    I guess the manager has seen something in Beck so set the side up to what you supposedly saw because if Whitehall is a long term problem then we’re in trouble so we need that Plan B now

    The commercial management is a joke, we’ve gone from sponsoring sticky toffee pudding to mini Glastonbury. It must be like Phoenix nights working there.

    Mbappe wouldn’t have got to most of those flick ons, one spooned off his head about 40yards for a throw in. Rose also struggled massively against their lively winger (who was my motm) and they coped with our horrendous (and dangerous) pitch much better. Do feel for Rose though he’ll learn from the match and work on his positional play

    Do hope Whitehall is Ok because the reserve option isn’t going to help. Not too much damage done thanks to Fadeera.

    Pettiness aside, well done to Butler and Scunthorpe on a good result, could’ve been a banana skin but did well. It’s coming together nicely.

    Important we head into March with a run of form. A must win for me. Keeping pressure on Chester would also set up that home match to be a cracker – potential sell out with all the offers.

    We should be looking at league two squad player loans who are used to the more physical demands of lower league football. Done right we can add sufficient depth where needed. A substantial injury to Whitehall and/or Roberts and we’re done for.

    I’m assuming a lot of old debts kept coming out of the background thinking they’d lost their money and now they’re after it again. Not something Michelle & Co could liabilitise for at the time I guess.

    Season tickets must be 2,000 x £250.00 avg so £500k of the £1.2m turnover if we say another 1,000 from match day sales (assuming under 12’s free) then that’s another 23 games by £20,000 so £460k, the rest must be sponsorship, exec boxes (although they don’t appear to be fully utilised most match days) all in that would be another £250k – don’t know if that’s any good or not. If we have players on £2.5k per week you can understand the squad not being that deep, should use the loan market more.

    Interesting about the sale of GP. I assumed that it could not be sold as it was a community interest. Is it the case that if they have consensus they can agree to sell GP and the land? Does this have stipulations that it must remain a place of football (loosely speaking!)
    Selling GP is not mentioned

    March is the month – look at the run of fixtures. If we get through that month with a decent set of results then the top spot is ours to lose.

    Good result but a hard watch after the first 10 minutes.

    How much is the pitch playing a part for the players looking a bit ‘leggy’. It is an absolute disgrace and must be affecting the players. Some things you can’t go cheap on and the pitch is one of them.

    At least they now have a period of rest now with no game in the immediate future.

    Should change the back 4 and we’ll be quite solid,. I sense we are on the cusp of a championship run. We’ve got a lot of home games coming up and a few easy aways.

    When you say hostile takeover, of what? The business isn’t really a business that is investable right now so have the existing board split over something? Has the new CEO gone off in a different direction? Has Scunny Bunny instigated an MBO?

    Fitz was ‘enjoying a drink’ in a pub in Notts last night, hopefully he recovered in time. I don’t blame him mind, you need a coping mechanism in this league.

    He’s up there with one of the worst signings for the club. Unless he is given penalty duties (and even then it’s not guaranteed) I cannot see him scoring a goal for us.
