Re: GOWLING OUT
Does the next manager get 6 games if we don't improve under him immediately? We becoming a club ran by the lynch mob? Fucking exactly. Lately, this forum has become joke. What a great fanbase we have. 97 pontificating like some wise old sage because he’s subscribed to a monthly football stats packa...

Re: Parallels
Yep, the parallels are there. The main worry is that JG is not a proven manager and similarly so was Staunton when he was appointed. I think in the situation we are in the club has scraped the barrel and gone for what has been the best of those who applied - a punt on a young manager wanting to make...

Re: Kings Lyn
Just going to have to rebuild from the NPL, no sign that JG has got any significant change in performances, so these players are not NLN standard. The club has become stagnant at this level.

Re: Tamworth V Darlington
I have lost count of how many times I have worked with people over the years who have had a good CV (OK Gowling's CV would not be great - granted), can talk the talk at the interview but when it came to the job did not perform. I would hope DJ is experienced enough to see through it. However, for m...

Re: New signing
After a couple of matches and a handful of training sessions I would think JG will have had enough time to assess what he has to work with and whether they are good enough to fit into his ideas. I think now we're seeing him move more towards putting his own stamp on the squad and possibly a change o...

Re: Scarborough Fa Cup
Getting relegated to the NPL would not be catastrophic. Yes we'll probably lose a few off the gate but if we retain our core support we'll find our level again which I believe at this moment is actually the division below. We need cup runs as this is really only our other opportunity during a seaso...

Re: Scarborough Fa Cup
As I have stated many a time, the mid-table budget argument is a pointless stat. It's the calibre of players to put a squad together that we can afford that determines league position, we simply don't have the squad quality and in part that is because the budget doesn't stretch far enough - for this...

Re: Darlington V Gloucester
We are in a bit of trouble. Gowling needs to learn, and he needs to be ruthless, quickly. Moke needs taking out of the side. Weak in the challenge in the build-up to the first goal and then set-up a really good chance for Gloucester in the second half. Booked for the third time today (all down to p...

My reason for adding possible relegation(s) is that the club is being caught up and we are struggling to tread water with the finances we have.

I have a feeling that this season will go like 17-18. Seems like a manager and club going through the motions, like Gray after 'seat gate' and budget cuts. An opening day defeat, a thin squad and tough set of fixtures coming up doesn't bode well either. Wouldn't be overly surprised if AA is gone bef...

Optimism turns to realism. I think it's fair to say that the achievement this season is to stay in the league, forget about the playoffs. It's a case of treading water for as long as possible, with the real possibility of a relegation at some point. We have a paper-thin squad and with financial sque...

Re: D.J. interview online now.
My opinion is that we have reached our ceiling under our current model and I think the club are finally, without a direct comment, communicating this. We have since 2012/13 a core amount of supporters that turn up every season to attend matches (I'd guess roughly between 1,200-1,500) and from this a...

Re: Jacob Blyth new striker
The best teams tend to have a balanced midfield, especially those wanting to play football rather than being more direct or route one. As mentioned having a potent attack can help to impose your goal scoring threat but without the link up in the middle you are either left too exposed defensively or ...

Re: The Top 15, Saturday Mar 18th 2023
I'd suspect a total mid-70s should be enough, which roughly equates to 5/6 wins from our last 10. If we have any aspirations of achieving this then wins against Farsley, Kettering and Banbury are imperative, as beyond that we have tougher matches vs Chester, Brackley and Kings Lynn, amongst others. ...
