Been a proven method for the last 30 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarddog73 Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 After just two point out of our last nine I reckon this game tomorrow needs to go our way, two or even three from twelve would be piss poor in my opinion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ground is about a 10/15 min walk from station/town centre. Loads of pubs in centre from Spoons to craft ale to real ale (Costellos). Nothing of note near the ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghost of Leonard Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 I see recruitment has fallen flat on its face again.. I'll always support the team but sorry to say ,the club is an absolute shambles and the fans deserve better ,much better than the dog shit they are served up week in week out since Frank saved the club. My sympathy is with Frank and the fans........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick26 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 Need to win today or there might be a bit of unrest on the terraces having failed (so far) to bring in another option up front. God forbid Alty's loan signing from Wrexham scores the winner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recruitment has been solid and is probably a striker away from being a good, competitive squad. The start to the season, whilst not perfect, has been decent with plenty of signs of improvement. Off the pitch catering aside the club is in the best place it's been for years and crowds are up As I said, histrionics 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyB2 Posted August 31 Share Posted August 31 These will be up for it today, will know we have weaknesses and won’t show any respect.

Off the pitch catering aside the club is in the best place it's been for years and crowds are up As I said, histrionics Recruitment has been solid if you look at the players Mellon knows and has brought in (Monthe, Caprice), I'm presuming Conlon recommended Charsley and Ogle has been on the radar over 12 months (yes we've been here before), that leaves Uchegbulam and Kay we've brought in who you'd class as 1st team starters, for me I'd have preferred if we took Haughton and Sinclair from those clubs but that's my personal choice. Everybody knows that on top of a solid foundation the one position you need to fill is the striker position yet in gameweek 6 we still haven't managed to get one in despite seemingly throwing all our eggs in one basket, at best that business can be described as naive at worst it's full blown incompetence, I've no doubt Micky has told the board we are light up top but yet again it appears that we can't get a deal over the line. I get it he was the No 1 target but the fact it's broke down after months and weeks of chasing without a conceivable back up plan just shows we are being run by a bunch of amateurs, sorry if that sounds harsh but since the Rothwells came in a recurring theme is the constant shitshow our 'Recruitment department' creates, from bringing in absolute raffle winners on inflated contracts to allowing 12 month contract extensions to trigger it's just one thing after another. I don't blame the management team one but, it's inherent at the club and needs addressing because we are being took for fools. I posted yesterday about us hemorrhaging points and on the face of it you could argue that it was a bit of an hysterical reaction but this game is dictating by small margins and not having that key player in has cost us points. There's clearly money there yet all our efforts have gone on a man who'd already announced his retirement and another who we've been told from minute one of pre season is unavailable and his parent club are keen to keep him and we've ended up with nothing. Laughable really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
