11 points from any 7 games leaves 105 points to play for so it would always be tough to say what would happen in the other 35 games. Just as 15 points from 15 games doesn't reflect what's gone on points wise in the previous 27 games.
For any team you would also have to consider it's opposition. In Murray's first seven games we played gboro twice & BPA. of the next 15 games we played the top 9 clubs in the league.
For me the shoring up of the team began when Batch came in at centre half along side Josh Rob with Gatter holding midfield. Gatter did well for half a dozen games then Murray went for experience & brought Chapman in.
I've never referred to Greene's dross or looked at the team as being composed of two parties: Greene signings v Murray's players. It's divisive but we all know it's going to continue.
As BUFC fans there are likely to be 3 camps: those who just want the best for the club. Those who are gonna to continue to be angry at DG's departure & The Murray fans.
We had 3 excellent seasons with DG. In that time he only had to replace 3-4 players each season & the signings were excellent. When he lost most of the squad last June he was tested. 13 or so signings & the budget pushed to the max. The realists saw it as a massive rebuilding job.
Many saw Greene as being hounded out. His housing benefits do turned fans against him & the knobhead slant. If he could have shunned social media & avoided personal spats with fans he may have got a fairer shot this season. But the social media war was ramped up by both parties & it was evident he was losing heart in the job.
I hope as a loyal fan base we can Unite behind the boys this season. Of course there's gonna be a comparison of managers. Murray is in a very similar position to what Greene was last year after another exodus.
A longish response Cny to my request on the performance of the team with v without Adam Chapman .
You have your opinion on the team DG left but I considered it dross compared to the teams he put out the previous 3 seasons .
I have no interest in , nor want to hear scandal about what managers /players do/or do not do in their private lives .
I have had much abuse over the years backing managers , if you refer back to AM arrival thread you will note he had my backing .
I only wanted a response to actual games played that I listed , not speculation on games that might have been .
Can you put your finger on why ?, in AMs first 7 games the team obtained 11 points , inc games against P/O candidates Stockport and Tamworth and Curzon who came to YS on the back of some outstanding cup wins .
Why after the arrival of AC did we only obtain 15 points in 15 games including home defeat against bottom club Alty and relegation candidates Nuneaton, other matches involved relegation candidates Worcester , Alfreton, and Telford and concluded with a good spanking from a now poor Curzon team . Doesn't look to me that he lifted the teams game .
