All Beck needs is 1 goal to get going, however as he’s not on a 4 yr contract we’re unlikely to see it here.

They said promotion is a must this season. Another season in this league serving up dross is going to be the death knell of professional football for the town.

Best first half performance for some time, the subs sort of put paid to any shape and attacking intent second half but the first half made up for it. 9/10 performance 1/10 pitch quality – looks dangerous to play on

We’re lacking goals and creativity, Roberts gives us both. Butterfield’s stats last season were remarkable (even when he slowed down)and Roberts this are good. I can’t see Williams being fit long enough to get any consistency and if we get £80k for him (just a guess) then another year in this league will cost double that when fans lose patience.
What I don’t understand is where are the loanees? We were told the squad would be supplemented with loan players, have we had any? Would be a bad move to let him go unless it’s silly money being offered.1 user thanked author for this post.
Hereford got a tonking, and were the better team v us last week. Curzon could have been well clear but now slip up conceding for fun. It’s a very poor league so there are still opportunities for us. We’ve played by far the worse football I’ve ever seen us play and we’re one win off top! We need to start scoring more freely and from other players to maintain our chances

I don’t rate him but then again half the squad should be playing on a Sunday morning not Saturday afternoon

The outside noise comes from pretty poor performances in what is a poor league, the voices of some of this outside noise parts with their own cash to follow (and save) the club. It’s a slippery slope to try and instil a them and us when the ‘them’ clearly weren’t performing (simple 5 yard passes as en eg) and the us the people who keep spending money and donating to the club.
At least OT does challenge and if Andy wants a career in football management at any decent level you’re going to have to get used to being challenged with questions you might not like answering.
Let’s see how they play v Hereford which is now a very important fixture.2 users thanked author for this post.
I can’t see him wanting to come back. I’m sure he’s chilling and enjoying life atm and does help out where he can – which he doesn’t have to.
I think we’re in such a unique position (and a dreadful one at that). It needs somebody who can get a tune out of this side, and at this level.2 users thanked author for this post.
For clarity I meant the OWS interview, I think Olly asks good probing questions (I didn’t make that clear enough) .

Those SUFC interviews might as well be a Nirth Korean press officer interviewing Kim Jon Il, offers no challenge whatsoever.
I’ve always supported Butler, it was getting harder by the day and listening to RH they were very damning of the whole situation. The players have to take some responsibility but everybody knows the movement out of the club isn’t the players it’s the manager. If he cannot see what is in front of his eyes then I feel for him because he will lose his job in the not too distant future. The players are an absolute disgrace btw but the tactics worse still.

That was a hard watch, really low on quality, the amount of misplaced passes and turnover of the ball was staggering – on both sides. It was proper village stuff.
I did mention about part time but not based on any insider knowledge but I can see a prolonged stay in this division with the current set up and part time looks more likely given the situation. It will put a fair few off.

Sometimes players are under instruction to do things which can mask as not being good enough or bothered. Southgate at the Euros was a classic example of players on the leash and off the leash (chasing the game when down).Most would agree when behind and a formation change has been necessary the threat levels we pose went up / so there is something there to work with. I just want Butler to at least try something beyond a 3-5-2/5-3-2 formation and see what it yields. Every footballer in the land, pro or a amateur can play a 4-4-2/4-3-3, I wish Butler would at least try it – for the sake of his job because I want him to succeed.
