Can also go stale I suppose, but we can enjoy it now for a change. Well done Keith Hill and Flitcroft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So? Which champions league winning manager were we getting? He and Flitcroft have some of the best lower league records around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I like the man, I like his coaching team now, I liked the team he had at Rochdale when him and Flitcroft divorced. I hope they are the most successful management and coaching team we have ever had. I don't think they are a golden ticket though because of how things ran at Rochdale, and that's from knowing people who played there and from seeing them as a neutral. Don't want to be being negative or appeat to be being so because what is happening is so hyper but can only give my opinion, that's what a forum is.

Gutted to concede that late goal, but i expected a defeat before the game. The atmosphere, the football, the feel good factor is so much better than the last few seasons. Parkys football bored me shitless, i like Keef Hills football and his attitude - it's such a refreshing change.

Site Supporter victor meldrew Posted September 21, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2019 the two games have been a breath of fresh air hopefully the start of a new era if we go down , as we might do , we will hopefully build a new squad of hungry young and experienced players, just need the lapsed fans to come back, if you know some one , tell them how good the feel good factor is, and they are a complete wanker for giving up on our team.

They didn't divorce at Rochdale or anywhere else for that matter. Hill got sacked at Barnsley and they chose to give the job to his right hand man Flitcroft after a spell as caretaker. So more of an unplanned 'uncoupling' really. It's also worth noting that they weren't working together when things started to tail off for Hill at Rochdale.

marple whites Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Great again today, really having a go, pressing and making the other team work their gonads off. penalty harsh, but they had a few clear chances (certainly 2 easy headers), couple of great saves from Matthews. So probably in hindsight a draw was fair, but a late goal always feels harsh. overall, real good feel factor starting to come back, forget the table, let’s just enjoy playing football and giving other teams problems. Once these strikers are back, we will win more than we lose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErnestTurnip Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Thats right because Beech replaced Flitcroft after doing his time with the youth, and Flitcroft was doing ok on his own as a manager. Would like to see what actually happened in WSL today, at one point a mackem was halfway across and was being followed by a young child and had to send him back. Looked piss poor but couldnt see what was going on in our side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ani Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 I do think in last 10 mins Politic or Buckley needed subbing they had run themselves into ground. I know we have little on bench but fresh legs would have helped. Just an observation the overall performance was great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buckley was breathing out of his arse last 20 mins, but he'd put a decent shift in. The young Stoke lad has visibly tired in the 2nd half in his first 2 games, but that will improve. I thought Bridcutt was immense today and Jay Lo had a great game too. I honestly think that with a decent pre season behind them, this side would have fared better in the Championship last season than the turds we had.

If they close East Upper next season then they should change the first block of toilets when you come in (towards the South Stand) back to gents. Otherwise happy with it - adds to the atmosphere.

Pretty sure that was because of the smoking, you still see blokes stroll in and out without realising. Now they just smoke in the next bog down.

Chris Custodiet Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 Why do goalies guess at pens? I don't remember Hoppy doing that and he saved a lot. Easy save for Matthews if he'd just stayed put. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true white Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 He was never saving that. Easy goal keeping when you are sat in the stand. Thought Mathews was very good today apart from minor mistake in dwelling on ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Site Supporter Biggish Dave Posted September 21, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2019 Not many penalty takers ‘place’ the ball these days. Yes, they pick their spot but hit it with pace. Make a guess or stay rooted and hope it hits you are the only 2 ways these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s just frustrating to get so close but the other way of looking at it, had they scored in their period of pressure in the second half we’d have lost. Every single player worked their socks off. I do think we must find a striker this week though. Somewhere somehow. We can’t keep playing without one. They would have to be unattached. I looked through the unattached list the other day and I'm struggling to think of anyone that would improve on Buckley to be honest. Be grateful for Buckley, we didnt even have that luxury at Rotherham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
