Today has looked rather more like an away team trying to play decent football. We’ll see what the 2nd half brings.

Hmm. Sounds like a draw.

If Beck does not get balls to the right place – he will fail. We are short of wingers. The right sort of crosses are missing …

Yeah. Surprise. I am now starting to get a little more optimistic that he may – perhaps – no longer be swimming against the tide.
If you give fans: ugly football; fail to see that your system ain’t cuttin’ it; get cross if many ordinary paying supporters mention it – you are riding for a big fall.
I predict that, from the furore caused by ‘that interview’, there will emerge a rather chastened figure. I do not think he dare ever be so sulky again.
As previously mentioned, I applaud him for making changes to a system that was not working.
(I rather hope that we see 3 – 5 players who are either not producing, or have fallen below acceptable standards, will leave in January. This may make space for a freshening up of the squad.)
After Alfreton – a game which will haunt me for the remainder of my life – we had reached rock bottom. Perhaps the only way is up.
Up to that point I had not wanted AB’s head on a spike – after Alfreton my attempts towards positivity had largely disappeared.
Let us hope to see a little more flexibility so that Andy can have a good Christmas. There may be some signs of improvement already – so let’s just forget the radio interview.
Fans hate negative football. Over decades it has probably caused as many downfalls as totting up the amount of points lost.
If your guys attack, attack, attack and lose against Hereford, Andy, you will see astonishingly little criticism. Most fans do actually try to be fair-minded but, do bear in mind, they are 100% correct to feel that they are entitled to be entertained. They pay your salary.1 user thanked author for this post.
Our last two wins both came from a changed formation.
At least AB seems to be finally recognising the need to change things around a bit.
I must admit that I was rather puzzled by the return of Nicholson and playing Denton on the wrong side of the pitch – but we won and must, hopefully, stand a chance against Hereford.
AB making adjustments has encouraged me somewhat.1 user thanked author for this post.
Shan’t be following your predictions, Rene.

He wouldn’t get opportunities to score under our setup.

I truly hope you are right Cass but I shan’t hold my breath.
Marine – how many defenders shall we have on the pitch?
Will ‘lumpit upfield as often as possible’ still be the order of the day?
Players played in their proper positions?
Our best 11 starting the game?
Humility or arrogance?
Flexibility or obstinacy?
Actually playing for a win or targeting a draw and hoping we win?1 user thanked author for this post.
We surely will not end 7th to 10th playing the ‘maybe avoid relegation style football’ currently in evidence.
