Title: Did we 'vote for relegation'?
Post by: Martyn Bishop on October 22, 2017, 05:09:26 PM
The New European had a tongue-in-cheek article from Alastair Campbell suggesting a correlation between football clubs' fortunes and how their supporters voted in the Brexit referendum. He suggests the more strongly they voted Leave, the more likely their team was to be relegated! He gave Sunderland, Middlesbrough and Hull as examples and now Torquay is in danger of joining them this season. (Torbay voted roughly 2:1 to leave the UK) Let's hope we're not on the way to providing another example.

Thanks for that Martyn ,  looks grim , we must get braced for the Glue League,  looked a scientific survey to me .
Seems as though another referendum would be a better option than changing the manager . :)

Looking at highlights it seems to err to the Glue .

 Boston defenders seem reluctant to tackle pushing up ..then run back..lose their marking ..and ..

  When was there last a decent defence ? :-[

Steer, Garner, Piergianni, Mills - that wasn't a bad defence. Not water tight by any means but seems a million times better than what we have now.

The stats show that defence to be no better than we have, The big difference then was we had the ability to fight fire with fire

Mckeown
Cannoville, Jelleyman, Murphy, Pearson

This was a solid GK and defence that kept a lot of clean sheets.

Man for man proberbly not better than Steer, Garner, Piergianni, Mills  but Green was an attacking manager and Scott and Hurst were defensive managers.

We had a great run of clean sheets in the league under S&H, until we got walloped at Droylsden.
