Not that long ago we were discussing tactics employed in the League 1 playoff semi.

Chester were down to ten men, so not quite what it seems.

“Ultimately, he cannot keep hiding behind the ‘individual player errors’, and ‘we could have scored a couple more’ statements. He and his team are the ones who are coaching them all week, and we’re seeing no indication that things are improving”.

Don’t practice until you get it right. Practice until you can’t get it wrong!

Thought this might have been about losing at home to a works team rather than another conspiracy theory.

[Northumbiron]

That is poor. Perhaps a reflection on the competition. Wonder what the Alfreton attendance will be?

[Northumbiron]

Thought Police?

Like the inquisitions of the Counter Reformation?

You should write a dystopian sci-fi novel BPG. I’d read it.

Was expecting to see a sign saying North Kelsey.

Isn’t that what we were doing back in August? Letting the opposition have most of the possession and winning something to nil.

Aye, it’ll define whether or not we stay in the Trophy!

Well if Mr Lakeland changed things at Shields today it didn’t work!

Dominant CM remains the greater priority.

And I think we need a left-winger. So that’s three so far on the Christmas list.

It’s the hope that kills you!

I notice that according to the squad numbering we still don’t have the #11 shirt taken.

Were we after a left winger but it didn’t go through? We certainly could do with one.

“Statistically, we’re due to lose a home game… it could well be this one”.

Statistically, we’re due to win on a Saturday…!

If Butler thinks Carlton is a Centre Forward we’re in deep doo-doos!

I can’t quite believe we’ve end up with 7 Central Midfielders.

So why does he play the two who look like Under 11s playing for the 6th Form team?

Who are your seven WG? Am I missing someone?

If anyone is bored have a count of how many non forward passes we make.
So sideways and backwards.

I watched one of our defenders t’other night in 2nd half, had full endeavour at half way line to stride forward with the ball.
Got 5 yards or so about turn and ball went backwards 20 yards.
Not just defenders though is it.

Not sure I agree with that.

On Tuesday night the defence spent most of the time hitting it long into the wide areas hoping Beags and Cleveland were still playing for us!

Sideways/back passes came about when Moors were pressing us (which they did pretty well). Though there was noticeably less “to me, to you” at the back than of late.

Not to mention the ethnic cleansing of the indigenous peoples.

When our two central midfielders are built like Victorian street urchins putting us under pressure isn’t difficult.

Two in two games. Must be something in the air in County Durham!

Simply not good enough again.

If Whitehall is injured long term we are in big trouble.

Well Carlton showed that he’s no centre forward. He can’t head a ball and couldn’t trap a bag of cement. And when your two CMs can be pushed off the ball by a six year old, then you’re relying on the only two players with any footballing ability to work some sort of magic. Never going to happen tonight.

The Moors fans were right, “top of the league, you’re having a laugh”!

We literally gifted them two goals. What a shit-show.

Definitely need additions to freshen it up.

You say “given away a 9 point lead”.

Does he not deserve credit for getting that 9 point lead in the first place?

Yep! He got us a 9 point lead before the other managers sussed him out.

So those wise old heads like Johnson & Morley are able to bring their team of amateurs to AAGP and do a job on us.

Every fan wants managerial continuity but they want promotions and trophies too.

Prime example in the PL – Man Utd under Fergie compared to Man Utd since Fergie. All of those fans hoping the next appointment will be the right one. Isn’t that what we’ve been waiting for since Sir Nigel left?
