Another "inspired" signing from Level 4 Non-League Football? Would have thought the priority is another keeper. :dan

The B-Ark / Re: Colwyn Bay Today
« on: January 12, 2013, 10:41:57 PM »
Thought Mr Drury behaviour during game was that of a spoilt little child but at least the best team won on the day. Play off places are still up for grabs for whichever clubs go for it - some teams may shy away from progression to the next level due to financial reasons. Congrats to Jordan Nuttell on his proper (sorry, Craig, but LSS games don't really count) first team debut. :bunny

Let's face it - Colwyn Bay are an AWFUL team playing in at least a Division above their weight. Would expect 5-1 victory. .
If we fail to beat them, I am sure Mr Newton may be have a chat with Mr Drury on Monday so that the manager can demonstrate how his ideas for improving the team, which were given at interview, are actually being carried out?

Very poor performance against a bottom half team. Only played when we were down to 10 men and all realistic hope had gone. Not sure why Haystead has not been released from our Club - surely a more reliable keeper is required for the second half of the season? Young Sam Vince would be more dependable albeit inexperienced. 8)

Now need a new Goalkeeper! Afraid Haystead is too unreliable and Ricky Drury not good enough for Step 2 Football. However, who is available and wants to play for us?

Must admit I was half expecting to read today that Jason Lee had left the Club "by Mutual Consent". :bunny

Clueless, utterly clueless......
He starts with a target man and no width, then brings on two wide men and takes off his target man......
I'm not a huge fan of making double substitutions. Today, for example, we introduced Kallum Smith and Ben Fairclough at the same time. That meant we had two players still trying to acclimatise to the pace of the game, with nine others trying to work out how they fitted into the new formation minus its target man. Not blaming any of the players, but less than a minute later we were 2-1 behind. Coincidence?
On another point, I don't understand why we always keep the players on the pitch after the end of a game either. For all of today's shortcomings, our players didn't lack effort and it was an entertaining game, so I think the fans would have liked to have shown their appreciation at the end - at least towards the players. Confidence is fragile at home at the moment. Applause and encouragement at the end of a game will help address this; waiting for the ground to empty before the players leave the pitch is not helping at all. Whatever the manager needs to say, surely it can be said inside the dressing room? After all, the dressing room seems to be a good enough place for 99.9% of opposing managers.
I do think Jason Lee has been ignorant towards supporters in the last two matches. It took a lot of money and effort for me to be at Skelmersdale in midweek. It's not just the cost, but also the hassle of changing working arrangements at short notice. You would like to think that the manager appreciated the travelling support, but the truth is he didn't even acknowledge the visiting fans on the final whistle at Skelmersdale. I was disappointed by that. Same again today at home to Altrincham, and it seemed he deliberately kept himself and the players at a distance from the terraces. I know everybody was disappointed with the outcome of both games, but in the current climate we need to be encouraging support and not alienating it. David Newton is always approachable and has been a breath of fresh air for our club in terms of public relations. If Jason Lee is to succeed in management then he needs to learn some of those PR skills for himself.
