Re: Gloucester (A)

A point won't do - we really have to win this one, a six pointer if ever there was one. Think about the Farsley game, Darlo can do it here as well but we'll need at least two goals. Is this newbie finally fit - if he scores and we win we might just claw something together over Christmas? The alterna...

Re: New Signing - Sonil Vasileiou

If Josh said he was good, would he be called a LYRE ? Very good - let's hope this Greek comes bearing gifts. In fact some yule-tide fun might be to see some connections between Quakers and the ancient world. What about 'the last shall be first' - 'Am I my brothers (goal)keeper' and wasn't there som...

Re: Hodgy

We won't come back up anytime soon if we go down, some big teams in the league below with bigger budgets that us. It would be an absolute disaster if we go down. I think it would too. There's always a sense of shame when it happens and it takes a while to disperse. On a better note, if we do someho...

Re: They don't think much of our chances

Am finding best odds of us staying up & will put £5 on & my winnings into next season's BTB. Statistically we cannot be so bad for the rest of the season I'm sure Jovial Josh would endorse your last point - being so keen on statistics, and there have been some signs of improvement but the more tell...

Re: They don't think much of our chances

When I looked through the projected results I felt a bit better about our chances; 0-5 to Blyth. KL putting four past us, Scarborough too but holding Scunny at home. We'll do better than that. The 0-3 at Boston looks right though - it'll be a Hazel hat trick. A helpful feature really because it show...

Re: Darlington V Rushall

He knows the strengths and weaknesses of the players, hopefully would command their respect, and has a good knowledge of this league. Yes he lacks management experience, but always seems to conduct hi...

For Warrington read Gloucester - been a long day. I'll be happy to be wrong about Asante but why do we buy players who are still returning to fitness? It's seems to me to be part of a fantasy that it'll all come good eventually, I just don't have any faith that a proven goal scorer is going to do hi...

We're going down guys. We just fucked off a 20 goal a season striker and then play his replacement for 8 minutes today. And for all of the ins and outs in the last few weeks, we started today with just 1 JG signing. Admittedly Lindley is a good player. I'm not interested in hearing how unlucky we w...

I feel this thread needs pumping up because, in my view, reality hovers over some of the other threads, but leaves the building with others.

Re: Gowling MUST go!

I'm only guessing but I don't think it will cost a lot to get rid of JG - I think he will be on a monthly contract as we are still paying for AA - which is one of the reasons why he was given the job in the first place - it was his opportunity to impress while we pay the remainder of AA's contract....

Re: Darlo v Chester

Full marks to the management. A really encouraging outcome and I was glad to see Rivers getting a start, as far as I'm concerned he's a gutsy attack minded player who can score goals. If JG can live with the pressure as well as he seems to who knows what can happen next - six points out of nine whic...

Re: Reality

It's great to see AA continues to live rent free in your head. I agree it's time to let AA go to a deserved rest - he did a number of good things for the club and was the only decent manager out of three since our last successful one, but people fell out with him as well so what - realistically - d...

We really have to win it - anything less and I think that's it for this campaign. Farsley are beatable and if JG's elusive pattern shows itself it could happen b...

Also, what’s Danny Rose’ role in all this? He’s seen what the players we had were capable of last season with the correct additions, yet they seem to be intent on a total rebuild….. So they'd look half decent again if we added a Beck, Lambert, Dodds and Leesley? Good luck with that. Truth is a lot ...

If Gowling goes, sooner rather than later, could Hatfield be player-manager? Assuming he'd want to. We know and like him and I've lost a bit of faith in the board not to appoint another dud from outside the club. :idea:

I thought we didn't do too badly in the first half apart from their first goal, which should have been saved. We looked pretty poor in the second half and their second was from a really good move with a cracking finish. Robson made a couple of great saves in the second half, even their keeper appla...
