It was a rubbish touch and then a stupid over the top of the ball challenge, nothing unlucky about it. Stupid decision.

Just like a lot of these posts are assuming and like in an obituary, you have to be dead/gone. He is neither. He's still in charge and needs OUR support. He deserves every chance to change this run.

Oh for the love of... Can we stop treating this like some bloody obituary. He hasn't gone yet! Murray is still the manager and hopefully it stays that way for longer yet and I hope he is able to turn this slump around, with a bit of patience and support.

Let's give the man a chance to steady the ship, chopping and changing doesn't get you anywhere and doesn't help you progress. It just creates more instability. I'd just like to add as well, being down to 9 men, shouting for the ref to send off Chapman just because you don't like him is an absolute f***ing disgrace. He may not have played well to people, but hindering the team even more after being let down by other individuals just because you don't like him/he's the scapegoat is ridiculous. Support the team, not just the individuals you like.

Just having a look back at the start of last season, does anybody seriously think that this squad is worse than the squad that started last season?
The team that started the season losing 1-0 at home to Stalybridge - Dibble, Price, Maguire, Ngoma, Thomas, Marshall, Chippendale, Hilliard, St Juste, Colley, Rollins: (Roberts, Fairhurst and Adams as subs). I would only have two or three of those players is this seasons squad. Again this team needs support, I'm still looking at who I think's good enough and who probably isn't, but I'm not gonna go screaming at them during the game like some do behind me on Spayne Road, why? Because it isn't supporting the team, it brings lower confidence, it brings fear, it brings less expressive football. At the end of the day I'll still be supporting this team positively.
Coming back to these stats, I'm gonna wait until we've played more this season before concluding if this team statistically is worse, and if we are I'll concede that point. My comment about last seasons dross was mainly associated to that team that started last season, which for me has a lot less talent than the one we have that's started this season, I'd personally only have Ngoma and Roberts (fitness permitting for both of them because Ngoma looked solid in midfield) and Rollins, but he's decided he doesn't want to play football this season by the looks of it.

I will reiterate that this team needs support, none of them are perfect, I don't think Chapman is that great either but I'll back him when he's in the team, people criticising taking off Vince today fair enough that's your view but we needed height in the middle of the pitch. When he made the two subs we looked better. End of. Only conceded two more because we tried to equalise.
It may be that in the last 20 games he's picked up 21 points but 5 of them games are from this season with effectively a new team. Not sure how many players Spennymoor retained from last season but judging by their performance tonight I doubt that was a team made up of pretty much entirely new players? 15 games of your 'stat' were from last where he had the leftovers, just give the bloke some time and give him a chance, I get the feeling people expectations are far too bloody high. This team isn't a team of world beaters destined to win the league straight away, Murray's said as much. I'm just gonna be patient and positive. None of this doom and gloom b*ll*cks.
I'll be there Saturday to support the team, come on Boston!

It's a whole new team that's played 5 competitive games... He ain't a miracle worker! It's better than last years dross, I'm still gonna turn up and support them. That's what this team needs!

I understand this Vince getting subbed is annoying but for me it made sense, you're playing a big physical team and bringing on Broadhead gave us more height which helped and I get Chapman isn't everyone's cup of tea but he's Murray's captain. End of. You can't expect him to sub him solely because of that, he's that experienced head he wants on the pitch, he may make mistakes and annoy people but he adds something to a young midfield and is always vocal (sometimes not in the best way).

Beaten by the better team, concede just before half time when we weren't playing well, come out second half and play better when we went to a back three, didn't put away any of our half chances and conceded twice on the counter. Not a good day but for some perspective we aren't gonna win the league and we're not gonna get relegated, onto Saturday now and hopefully a better result.
