Dire game of football as has come to be the norm at GP on a Saturday afternoon. The fact that the only positive is a marginal improvement on Alfreton, described by many as the worst game of football ever seen at GP, says it all. As always; hoofball, square pegs round holes (Whitehall as a 10 I ask you?), zero creativity, looking devoid of ideas and Fitz MOM saving us from blushes yet again.
Not sure on the accuracy of the attendance figure reported. Lots of empty seats and little atmosphere. Are season tickets counted even if the holders don’t turn up?
Butler’s ‘we’re not the finished article’ line is worn out. He’s had a full preseason, two cups and were half way through the league games so when do we expect to see the ‘finished article’? The last game of the season when we’re floating around mid table perhaps? We’ve taken a giant leap backwards from last seasons football and have fallen off a cliff results wise from our first 10 games so this analogy of us being a work-in-progress, as though we’re improving each game is more waffle. We still don’t know our best 11, we still don’t have a style of play (unless it’s hoof and hope) and we still don’t know our best formation or how to get a tune out of the best squad in the league. We’re on a downward trajectory under Butler and the board are merely prolonging the agony for supporters and decimating the goodwill they banked, with their silence and inaction.
Bang on 414
The fans goodwill is the only thing tumbling quicker than us down the league, on this form i will be amazed if we are in the playoff places post the festive period fixtures.
I read some fans bemoaning the clubs recent past of sacking managers but what is the alternative as anyone that thinks AB n Scoff are doing a good job must be deluded, sadly i think whilst in around the top 7 places the BovD wont act and get rid they should bite the bullet and pay em off now.
Im also not buying the squad unity BS .. IMO something isnt right and the players must be pissed off having to continue on ABs chosen path as its tantamount to destroying their careers as well as the clubs now slim chances of promotion .. a miracle we dont need just to become the cannon fodder in the NL ALA Boston.BAH HUMBUG

Beck has been a let down no getting round that but havent all the signings so far under ABs tenure? and rather worryingly if the BovD who seem set to give AB n Scoff the whole season receive funds from the sale of Roberts or others will this be wasted chasing to save his job.
The recruitment has been very poor and still lumbered with most of the over paid Hilton / JD signings who for the most part look like they dont give a toss ..
My oh my how we have missed Butterfield in mid field, his goals , free kicks and corners.

OT has the right to ask the questions he did. If not we just finish up with a one sided like the ows.
Wonder how the post match interview will go next week or will OT be waiting for 70mims again.
Pretty petty tbh. Still got to stay professional.Hopefully the win kicks the Iron on and things turn around.
2nd a playing so crap. Don’t think those shackles are on to be released unfortunately.Yes came across very petulant.. bearing in mid recent form its amazing we are still around the top let alone second all be it very tight and a couple of adverse results can change everything ..Curzon keep steaming on ALA Tamworth.

Glad what I stated is ‘obvious.’ Now we can all unite, relax and see what January brings without making premature calls for sackings or calling each other out. Glad we’re approaching the season of peace and goodwill to all men:)
Exactly .. peace n goodwill to all (except the Codheads (not all as i know at least 3 that are ok though they do limp, smell of fish and need a bar of soap for Xmas)

Blooming heck ..as Lou says to Andy ..this is a right carfuffle.
Opinions are what makes the forums tick and when it comes to football everyone has an opinion more so for your hometown club when its going through rough times, everyone is entitled to their opinion so if i wish to predict as i see things panning out i will do so regardless …
HOWEVER I DO HOPE IM WRONG as no positives its all a bit depressing.
Promotion is gone this season UNLESS CHANGE IS SWIFT.
AB will be here all season
7th to 10th if no change mid table at best finishing position as there appears to be several more consistent better performing clubs than us.
Attendances plummeting to 2000 to 2500
Fundraising will drop off
Many of the Hilton era over paid signings wont stay YIPPEE most dont give a toss, shame we will miss Fitz.
Moving forward another 2-3 years in NLN .. we arent good enough to go up to the NL hold are own or challenge just in a relegation battle ALA Boston this season.
Possible mix of Pro n PT next season.Calm down ..its time for a cuppa Yorkshire Tea and a digestive bikky

Lets be ruthless
sack LT
get in a football ball analyst …. to do what ??
lets keep a shit manager and his equally shit assistant after all its obvious its gonna go well and fans will leave in their droves .. why
After all has happened over the last 1-2 years with fantastic support across the whole spectrum its such a shame its come to this but its a ruthless bizz n AB n Scoff must be on really thin ice .
Never have i wanted my home town team to loose but if another defeat or two was to get rid of the current incumbents then i will take it.. sad but true.4 users thanked author for this post.
Players must be getting pissed off being forced to play a system that clearly doesnt suit them or is working, in fact its damaging the careers of some of them if anything and i would be a bit surprised if there hasnt been whispers and rumblings of discontent.
I do get the impression that quite possibly the players that came in during Hiltons brief traumatic reign and scatter gun approach to signings are just playing out a contract and most will leave in 2025, i think only Scales has extended maybe one other the rest will depart first being Roberts.

Am as unhappy as you lot ..but will be amazed if he’s not given til New Year. By then we’ll know if its coming right with new signings and returnees. It may well be that Curzon will be uncatcheable by then ..who knows. A big and expensive gamble to change it in this next fortnight. I don’t see it happening.
Agree .. IMO the BovD will give AB til new year and he will in turn stick to his / Scoffs chosen system yet manage to scramble a few points here n there playing woefully boring football be in the top 10 places thus be here until the end of the season at which point the board will act.
NOW is the right time to act but just cant see it happening.
Not be surprised to see Curzon do a Tamworth and create gap… alas that wont really effect Scunny as will be just fighting for the last play off spot or mid table obscurity and 2k crowds.
