We'll get slated for our opinions as we're not at the game !  :police:  Joking apart, there can be no excuses we are shocking as our results since the start of the season proves.  I personally think we are more mediocre now than what we were under the previous managers term. The buck stops with the manager, he signed these players and he is responsible for training and tactics. Think extra training on defending set piece corners is a must !!!

First ten games this season and as it stands right now Nineteen goals conceded, compared to the very dreadful start of last seasons mediocrity where we see Seventeen goals conceded in the first ten games. Seems like we need to build our own version of the Berlin Wall to keep the goals out !

Title: Re: V Blyth
Post by: Artemis on September 09, 2017, 04:47:01 PM
Put Hawley in midfield.  He can pass the ball and experienced enough not to get rid of the ball as soon as it hits his feet. 
But with Murray saying Chapman is the best midfielder in the league he is hardly likely to drop him.  But he has to realise it will be Chapman who causes his sacking unless results start to improve.

I must confess I thought the reaction to Tuesday's win was a tad OTT......we were playing the bottom club after all......

This result is grim......I fear we will be in a relegation scrap this season.

Very disappointing after all the optimism pre season. The simple fact is the players are not good enough.

Adam Murray left Mansfield in 2014 with a win ratio of 31%.

This season his win ratio is only 30% - simply not good enough.

Adam stated when he took the job that the second half of last season would give him time to start building a team . Did he sign any better players than what we already had ? NO . Same result with close season signings .   How will he find better players now than he has in the last nine months ?

He complained players only put 60/70% effort in today ,   whose job is it to get 100% effort from the players ?       According to Rob Makepeace report  "Chapman gave up the chase to stop the last BS goal "
Not the sort of example from a captain to inspire team-mates .   Time to be ruthless Adam ,  its the only way with man management .

Just an observation,but why did you not comment on the North Ferriby win, but on this loss you are soon on here giving your opinion, is it because you want to see Adam Murray fail.
Or was it just an oversight, perhaps you only look at poor results. 
Title: Re: V Blyth
Post by: cup half full on September 09, 2017, 06:45:08 PM
Adam is a young manager learning his trade with a young team.  Needs to be given time good managers aren't made overnight, but he needs to toughen up and pick players on their performances now not 5 years ago.  Cannot fault the effort of some of the younger players, but they need leaders on the pitch to follow.  What has McGuire done wrong other than play the same position as Chapman.  Also would be nice to look at the teamsheet and think we are trying to win rather than avoid defeat.  Playing with 7 defensive minded players will win sod all.

No need for that drastic step just yet - although if he continues to put Chapman in the team Chapman will be the cause of his sacking.
Unless results start to improve - home attendances will start to suffer - if they haven't already done so.

It's Murray's team - so he is responsible for the way the team play.  If the captain on the pitch cannot be bothered he should be replaced.

You are correct to bring this point up chubby .  I was going to address it on the Ferriby thread shortly be I will do it here and now .

The reason I did not make a comment was because I genuinely thought that yours and another post on about the same time was trolling for negative comments .

Now I saw the match as value for money with two poor well matched teams producing an entertaining game .  But did not see how it could generate confidence in our team against what was relegation fodder .

Likewise with the Nuneaton game , again relegation fodder and  a 89th minute gaol was needed to avoid defeat on home soil  .     Today only generated negative views on the team .

Do I want Adam to fail ?  No.     Sadly the only thing he has consistently produced so far is poor excuses for poor results .

So what?? I thought this was a football discussion forum.
It has been obvious from quite a number of quarters that Chapman isn't up to the job - yet the manager continues to put him in the team.
Some say that Chapman had his best game so far against NF - so if strolling about on the pitch, shying away from tackles, arguing with the referee and doing the occasional good pass is acceptable then I fear for the rest of the season if he continues in the team.

As for accusing me of doom and gloom - I am stating facts.  The results speak for themselves.

Post by: Shrimperpilgrim on September 09, 2017, 07:24:48 PM
I think ill get told off for posting as well as I didn't want to join in the over the top praise given for just about beating a very poor side on Tuesday who took the lead against us with another poor goal.
Any how onto today..
Id like to try and fill your heads with perspective and facts.
Ive given up going to away games after travelling to Southport to witness another one of these non performances on the opening day so its home for me only.
So today I popped over to Kings Lynn to witness them win in a very attractive way 4-1. Ian Culverhouse took over at Lynn around the same time as Mr Murray did at York Street and I went to see Culverhouses 1st game in charge last year and Lynn were woeful.
But the contrast between how Lynn have turned things around compared to our lack of any positives in a same kinda timeframe are worrying.
Lynn would beat us by 2 or 3 easily they have a clear pattern of play and players have jobs to do and do them to the best of their abilities looking strong in every department and comfortable with the ball.
We are on the other hand now a team that is full of 'young players who should know how to play and not make constant mistakes putting their hands up time after time in the dressing room to say sorry'.
Not my words above but the managers words.
Well Mr Murray you have assembled this side, changed the dugouts, centralised the training ground, axed youth teams, got player analasys gps which many pro teams would be proud of, we have the best midfielder in the league, we were told we will be promotion contenders, signings were pinched from under the noses of other clubs, even paid fees for players, every signing was announced with over the top hype, you talk the talk and it sounds good but maybe like me the players are hearing it and not acting on it.
So its a two way thing as all the change makes us more professional but its how you use the data and if the players can act on instructions and finally are the instructions the correct ones being given to players that are good enough???
I cannot believe we will sack Murray as so much change has been made by him...it would then take a new manager to come in with no money to play with as many players are contracted for the season. The chairman has rightly backed him but he must be having second thoughts too.
Yes we will scrape a few wins but we will also lose a lot and as many Mansfield fans have told me we will never be entertaining as he always resorts to cautious negative football.
I do believe we have a few good players who need to be able to feel comfortable in their roles but these players need the ball in the correct areas and as ive consistently said we need to play with width.
So its a big effort needed by all Murray the players and us the fans.
Either that of give Culverhouse the job! ;)

He was interviewed this week and apparently thought it was a good idea that training takes place somewhere in the Midlands as it perhaps enabled AM to get better players.  But where is the evidence of that.  It also occurred to me that AM lives in the Midlands and wonder if that is the reason for moving the training location.

The facts are results aren't good enough but only one team get promoted as champions the rest fight for scraps and any team from 14 to 7 will always be in with a shout for play offs Look at the posts when we win versus those when we lose it's almost 2 to 1 when we lose. Ultimately Adam gives 100 percent he's a genuine guy does loads behind the scenes. Look at the teams in our league York. Stockport. FCUM and Salford Harrogate it's a league far tougher than I can imagine as a young lad with these big names years ago. So rather than give it the big I am football manager be constructive we are a young team ex pro manager positive chairman support the club instead of being the constant negative mouth.

I've backed the club and most managers 72 years and will continue to do so .   Seeing as play-offs have been achieved 3 times  in the NC in recent years, and with the 2 extra p/o spots this year it should be within our grasp .    In  fact Adam boasted he was aiming for promotion this season .  Their is still time to make the play-offs if Adam has signed the right players and makes the right selections.
He made the promise , he boasts of various additions to training to improve chances of delivery ,  time to start progressing .

Yes I must be GHM because you say so, and of course you are always right,how dare anyone contradict you.
I have found you to be most patronising, self centred, no it all bully on here, you don't bully people with threat's but you do it with clever words and ridiculous stats,just to make yourself look clever and more smarter than anyone else, you deliberately pull everyone's post to piece's, just to ensure you have the upper hand.
You hate it when anyone does it to you, and react in your self centred way.
I would love you to report this post because personally I couldn't care less, and believe me I have no problem repeating this to your face in a articulate grown up manner.
But I won't loose any sleep over you, but I will still keep spending my money at York Street as I have done for the past 40 year's, and if I have something to say to the director's, manager or players, I will continue to say to them in person, something I suspect you have never or will do.
Goodbye Sir GHM and I am sure you will take this as a victory, well you would, wouldn't you ??

Yes I must be GHM because you say so, and of course you are always right,how dare anyone contradict you.
I have found you to be most patronising, self centred, no it all bully on here, you don't bully people with threat's but you do it with clever words and ridiculous stats,just to make yourself look clever and more smarter than anyone else, you deliberately pull everyone's post to piece's, just to ensure you have the upper hand.
You hate it when anyone does it to you, and react in your self centred way.
I would love you to report this post because personally I couldn't care less, and believe me I have no problem repeating this to your face in a articulate grown up manner.
But I won't loose any sleep over you, but I will still keep spending my money at York Street as I have done for the past 40 year's, and if I have something to say to the director's, manager or players, I will continue to say to them in person, something I suspect you have never or will do.
Goodbye Sir GHM and I am sure you will take this as a victory, well you would, wouldn't you ??

Yes I was right chubby , as stated before you can't be arsed to refer to accurate stats .   Recently I mistakenly used a inaccurate stat , this was quickly pointed out to me by a fellow poster ,  rather than sling my dummy out the pram I thanked him for pointing out my error .
For clarification will you point out the "ridiculous stats " I have quoted

Hope you have your say to the directors , manager and players as I am sure they will be constructive . :laugh:
Can you reveal that you will advocate Chapman retaining his place .?



I have enjoyed reading your thoughts in this post ,   sweet dreams . :laugh:

jell Langley your posts are generally negative it's almost laughable.  We go behind and your posts are immediate. I'm guessing you don't see many games live. The facts are results aren't good enough but only one team get promoted as champions the rest fight for scraps and any team from 14 to 7 will always be in with a shout for play offs Look at the posts when we win versus those when we lose it's almost 2 to 1 when we lose. Ultimately Adam gives 100 percent he's a genuine guy does loads behind the scenes. Look at the teams in our league York. Stockport. FCUM and Salford Harrogate it's a league far tougher than I can imagine as a young lad with these big names years ago. So rather than give it the big I am football manager be constructive we are a young team ex pro manager positive chairman support the club instead of being the constant negative mouth. Whether we win or lose I might be pissed off but will always back our club

Fishtoft Crew - what makes you think i don't see many games live? without wanting to explain myself i spend alot of money at BUFC and this includes community activities so im probably more qualified than you to pass my opinion.

And its just that, my opinion - im passionate about the club, dont like losing like everyone else, but dont cast judgement on me and make assumptions!

Fully understandable due to long and tiring journey but no one who attended the match has given us their views on the performance .     Hopefully we receive a few in due coarse .

The highlights are up so you can watch this in all it's glory. My highlight is Chapman just giving up for the fifth goal

So you spend a lot of money it makes you more qualified that's a ridiculous comment and for the record I do my share.My point though was that your posts like about going one down against Ferriby they are just seem negative so often.  keep on spending

Yeah, it was embarrassing
I actually missed the first two goals as the corners were taken so quick and the ball went straight in via an easy header.... see the highlights, the first goal the lad had five yards free space in the 6 yard box to pick his spot....
The 4th was equally embarrassing with another hopeful punt completely bamboozling our centre back.

Thereafter when we had a go, we look alright and they looked less than convincing at the back too, but giving them a 4 goal start wont get you any points.

Then the way Chapman gave up running for the 5th, the lad ghosted past two like they weren't there and put a cross in....

Fans hard earned money getting pissed up the wall on overnight stays doesn't go with me either, even if we win, what are the long term benefits??? One point now in our last eight away league games, the home form is solid but be honest we haven't really played anyone yet and we're shipping goals for fun, what will $alford and Harrogate do to us?

Disappointing for the 50 or so others that spent a lot of time & money watching that first half hour

I'll still back the manager, the ideas brought forward can only be beneficial to us, but some of the players clearly aren't good enough to take on board some of the ideas.

Thank your response josh .

Like you I fear for the meetings with Brackley , Salford and Harrogate .

Give the away games a miss and donate money saved to your old mans pension pot  :)

The effort by the best midfielder in the league to prevent goal five about sums him up

Overnight stays, new training base/ regime, paying money for players, plus shelling out big wages but no better off than this time last season

To me, it looks like a talented bunch of individuals not playing as a team. Lots of arm waving shouting and finger pointing without any end product

Definitely won't go down but play offs seem a long way away. Like many I fear the blind faith AM shows in his skipper will cost him his job

The lack of positive results should already have him walking the proverbial tightrope in my book. Ignoring the skipper issue, my main gripe is AM talks a very knowledgeable game, interviews well, and to listen to him, you'd think we would be playing play-off football. He has belief in what he's doing, and how he's doing it. However, whatever strategies and tactics the current regime employ, the minute the players cross onto the pitch, they all seem to go out the window. By now the alarm bells should be ringing, even to someone with such self belief. Why are his players with his tactics continuously getting beaten?
When he took over he said he'd survive the season with players he hadn't signed himself. He did survive, but had many of his own players by the end of April, most of which were then released in the summer.
He had said during last season that when he had put together a team of his own choosing, he had the belief that we could challenge the play-off positions. Well, as promised in the summer he has gathered his own squad, excepting Smithy and Jay, but results over the first 10 games are hardly troubling the play-offs, quite the opposite.
So, he's now had 30 league matches, 20 last season, and won 6. 10 this season, and won 3. 9 wins from 30. Is this good enough? It shows no progress, irrelevant of who brought the players to the club, it's no better this year than last. Playing 4,5,6 and sometimes 7 defensive outfield players clearly isn't stopping to goals going in, so who AM has brought in can't be good enough, and this is a manager who's first thoughts are to block up at the back.
So, if the results are no better, the players are no better, can AM motivate his team to turn things around? If the skipper's example is to go by, then we may by sinking already.
The Chestnuts have stood by all the changes AM has imposed, but there's no progress. Are they happy with this? Is AM there to guide us to mid table ambiguity, make sure we don't get relegated, but also not get us promoted due to financial restraints?
I can't believe The Chestnuts are happy with the current league position, and I genuinely hope that things are not left to get worse before decisive action is taken. An embarrassing cup defeat wasn't enough to cost DG last season after a disastrous start, but maybe it should have been.

I think it came some time ago. Let's hope he does it, rather than just saying it.

Fair point. I'd start by getting some movement in midfield. Or maybe not playing a flat back 7
