Anyway, it does suggest were not quite where we need to be, but that's no great issue for me. We're developing, and getting better each season. On a comparatively small budget, and living sustainably, I reckon a play off finish would be a decent achievement. We only have Evatt’s word/PR machine. It’s interesting that we have so many disgruntled if the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUREADY2ROLL Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 The main aim is creeping into the play offs and we need another CF IMO. Need a good win Tuesday and get something at Charlton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, but to be fair to them they only got promoted from the fourth tier the season before we did and their wage bill last season was only just higher than our wage bill in Evatt's first season despite playing one league higher.

Was fancying us today. Not sure if it was too much respect or just not being good enough. I felt we had to shut them out to win and when we didn’t, wouldn’t even arguing we were chasing the game. Gifted points imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc505 Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 (edited) Far too lightweight, and the direction of our signings doesn't make me think that's going to change any time soon. At best, at very best, we'll have to go back there in a night time play off semi final second leg in a few months time and fight like fuck to get anything. We need more than what we showed today to have any chance. Edited January 21, 2023 by Marc505 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take Hunt Off Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Williams was probably brought in to shadow Iredale , obviously he has been thrown in earlier & more than was planned. It makes the John situation a bit perverse but Evatt is the manager & has earned our respect particularly since we don’t know the circumstances of Johns banishment. Injuries to key players are definitely hurting us at the moment but we are a WIP .A sixth place finish in this league would be more than a satisfactory outcome. Fans need to show some patience, hopefully Evatt will be able to recruit a half decent striker in the window but it’s not easy with limited funds .

onefinfrandsen Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Table doesn’t lie we are where we deserve to be, we are as good as any one in the top four except when it comes down to playing the top four. Might need spending what budget we have but I think we are not far off cracking the top four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the impression he was brought in to replace Iredale more often than not. IE: "he has blistering speed and will give us a real attacking threat down that left hand side, predominantly he has been brought in to mirror what we are getting from Bradley on the right". If he wasn't ready presumably Beck would have played a bit more while he got upto speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it doesn't make Evatt a failure. The very point I'm making is that it can be done on a budget and we're more or less following the same journey as they have. They didn't have the same handicaps as we did but it's a matter of fact that they finished just outside the play-offs in the third tier with a very similar wage budget as we had when we got promoted from the fourth. We just need to keep doing what we're doing but we'll probably need another couple of transfer windows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
