Thought he had a great first game here. Another shrewd signing.
Shame Gavin and him were not here at the start of the season.

Close to being our man of the match for me. At last what I call a proper non league centre forward.
Well done Craig for getting him here at last. Would like to see Johnson running off him up front as well.
He has pace to burn and that's what defenders in this league hate

Don't like to disappoint you GHM. Sounds to me as I was listening to the manager on the radio going home to Woodhall that he is as shocked and fed up as the rest of the fans. It also sounds as if several of the existing squad better start looking for new clubs!
Confidence is a wonderful thing, and for some reason it just seems to have left these players. Could just be a home thing as they seem to play well away from home, but these last 4 home games have been pitiful. Cant see where the next goal is coming from and changes must be made.
1 -- Everybody thought CE was the best thing since sliced bread last year and that the squad assembled this year was full of potential. Started well and now at home we look useless. Still think Craig is our best bet at moment, but needs to review tactics asap. Agree with others Davies has been best player over last few home games, we need an outfield captain, so make him captain. I disagree with OXO ( not very often but on this occasion I do) on Abbott and Thanoj, they have been very good up until now, but often get overrun in midfield because of other sides playing 3 in midfield,we need to do the same. I dont like players coming back to clubs, but short term Norris coming back could help that by playing those three in midfield.
2 -- We have skilfull players in the club, but play them in the right position, lots seem to be out of position eg Walker. Why we have to continually play the long ball down to oppositions hugh centre backs I shall never know, play diagonal balls to utilise the pace in the team and as I have said many times play it on the ground. Sides in this league do not like pace against them!
3 -- Loan players have potential, but in my view the current ones are not right for us in this physical league. Ernie and I were talking about this, dont know if the loan deal specifies they have to play 60 mins etc, but that is no good. I think they should all go back.
4 -- Re those sat on the bench that we all thought should be playing well for us-- we all know who they are, I would start them all for 2 or 3 games and if they still under perform or cant be bothered, then I would get rid of them straight away.
5 --Generally I do not like players coming back to clubs after they have left. They left for a reason, usually because we can get in better players. The current ones probably excluding Norris smack of panic and desperation. We know we need some new players, but why panic and bring in or back the wrong ones.
I still think the basics are right, but tactics must change, players that continue to under perform or disappoint must be shown the door, and we must support the manager and the team he selects 100%. If this all fails then we have to look to change it at the top but not before.

The B-Ark / Re: Nuneaton tonight...
« on: August 15, 2018, 08:48:17 PM »
Criticise me if I say something wrong, but total misrepresentation last night. It was people around me that had issues with things. So please dont slag me off for something I have not said.
For what its worth my views on last night are as follows..
-- poor first half we must play it more on the ground
-- they won nearly every header first half.
-- thought walker was outstanding in second half
--they tired a lot second half but we played some great passing football until the sending off
--I thought it was harsh, full blooded tackle, not off the ground, Jackson had to fully commit because he would had been seriously injured by the Nuneaton player if he pulled out of the tackle. Blame the linesman he must have said something because the ref did not see it.
-- Previously thought Amy had been OK in games, but I think she would admit she had a bad game last night. Where did the extra time come from.
Overall I think we look very encouraging, some shrewd signing by an excellent northern manager.
So those accusing me of various comments get it right in future
