Plenty on the pay roll who could do a better job. Head says he’s going nowhere but with the squad we have to serve up this stuff, something’s not right

You can play 6 up front. If you’re going to piss around at the back, let the opposition walk back into their formation and then pump the ball into empty space makes no odds. The only thing Dean has left to hang onto is possession stats, and even that drops when Beestin enters the pitch

Something is clearly not right and Dean looks helpless.
Whitehall was particularly disinterested – maybe tired from the new born but very ineffective

Got to get it right / assume the budget is based on a number of season ticket sales and average attendances (probably 2.500-3,000) but if we keep serving up the dross that we’ve seen in the past few matches then the following season it’ll be 1,500 avg. which is still good for this pub league but our overheads will be a lot higher. If we fail to get promoted (and we need to play a lot better to stand a chance of going up through the playoffs) then I’d want somebody with a bit more footballing experience (as in league football) and that could be Butler – but do you give him total free reign for player selection? Or do you stick with Dean for another crack at promotion? If we’re looking at sustainability and long term then Dean isn’t the answer for me. But these are tough decisions ahead of us

It was shameless stereotyping I agree.
Some were postmen who worked the morning shift…. Sorry I’ve gone full John Motson.

The game plan, however boring had eventually worked, 1-0 up a few breaks up field straight into a corner to try and waste time against a plumber who’d grafted all day and then played footy.
That’s plain embarrassing. Why didn’t we go into the corner against Rushall? (We’re a bit more comfortable at home against 9 part timers rather than 11 part timers away from home?). Guess what? It doesn’t work because as every but Dean will see it took 30 seconds from their corner to our goal. It’s been bollocks to watch for a few weeks now. Butler needs to get more involved as he’s the one with league experience.1 user thanked author for this post.
My view is that it is vitally important for our long term survival (that we go up). The goodwill will soon dissipate when we slide further into anonymity. We’ll have a core of supporters but we’re not a mad passionate local football supporting town. We’re massively out of the spotlight, BBC updates, Sky Ticker, general coverage. Long term it means less attraction for players and fans alike. We’ve watched some great football in the past but a long term stay in this division is not something I would look forward to, the quality is just too shit. Don’t mind consolidating in NL for a bit but NLN is just shit, the refs, the away fan(s) the grounds. It’s quirky for the first season but going to these places for the next 2-5 years – we’ll be down to 1,500 in no time and then we’ll be part time just hanging around these leagues with fat immobile centre forwards who ‘put it about a bit’. I watched last night and thought it was so slow laboured and not very enjoyable, how we’ve fallen so far so quickly, and this squad are supposed to be full time professionals

He won’t fit with JD’s not playing a striker strategy whilst chasing the game

Said it enough times, thick as mince. No plan B and my god Beestin out wide- when will that ever work. Beestin isn’t worth a place in the squad. Torpey had it right on Humberside – bringing off Elliot and leaving Wilson and Beestin on the pitch was just bizarre.
When we need a plan B he just hasn’t got a clue. We looked aimless and leaderless in front of a bumper crowd

The old Mussolini made the trains run on time…. The last shelter of those desperate enough to defend the indefensible. He tried to destroy the club for personal gain, ending 124 years of local/community history – ‘yes but he employed somebody to do really nice burgers so it’s not all bad’

If his contract is up end of season then doubt they’ll get rid until then. He is very limited intelligence and tactical wise and there is no way we should be putting performances like we have been against players who have full time jobs in the day and this is their hobby. Dean and Beestin both worry me at the minute, both have competency issues – for one reason or another.

Dean went negative with his subs and paid the price. Hopefully he’ll learn. We won’t win the league by being ponderous.
