Football is a public game, followed by millions who are financially and emotionally invested in their clubs. It is actually a multi-billion pound private enterprise in most cases. How many clubs / institutions are actually publicly owned? Don't pretend it is more romantic than it actually is. Again...

Especially at the top end of the game, managers and players have to come out after games to justify their decisions immediately after a game, but referees can walk away without any explanation, despite often having a major influence on a game. Not really true is it. Justify their decisions. How man...

darlo_baron

The Wheatley yellow card is never a caution or even a foul. If the rules of the game supposedly now dictate that a challenge of that quality is now "reckless" then we might as well pack it in and watch basketball. As mentioned earlier, there is also a complete lack of transparency over how referees ...

Campbell was deservedly subbed. He was very very poor.

Having said that, I do agree he is usually the first to be chopped which often isn't fair.

I also think we leave our subs far too late. We are constantly chasing games at the minute but wait an age to do anything about it.

Our delivery of the ball into the box was absolutey appalling. No wonder we aren't a threat. Did we even try to cross the ball? If we have it out wide we just cut inside and then pass it nowhere. Teams are happy for us to have the ball as they know they can easily defend our threat in the final thi...

darlo_baron

That was woeful again. First shot after 80 mins. We are not physical enough to compete against better teams . Nice tappy Lappy football is getting us nowhere. We cannot Cross and cannot shoot. Please don’t say it’s a one off because it’s exactly the same game every time we play a strong physical te...

Carbon copy of the home defeats this season. Poor goals conceded and good on the ball until we get into the final third.

If the opposition has a reasonable shape and gets an early lead, it's game over.

darlo_baron

Well I am surprised that the game is off given we were due to playing on the carpet of dreams.

darlo_baron

Don't really understand any negativity. The conditions were dire but we had the two best chances of the game and they created absolutely nothing. Reid is without doubt best at CB and looks very composed back there. Today's shape was blatantly more solid and we never looked in any danger. I would hav...

darlo_baron

Fuck them. At first I would have had no problem with them being awarded the points. But after the behaviour of their keeper, crying on twitter that it may have to be replayed, while driving his car, and just being a wanker in general, then fuck them. Fuck them. Would I be happy if it was the other ...

darlo_baron

You absolutely can question recent selections without questioning the competence of anyone. Are you saying we didn't have two fit CB's that could have played over Atkinson? Why do we continue to persist with Reid who is consistently anonymous in games? Why, when 6 nil down, did we not give Hudson m...

darlo_baron

Got to question the selection above form ???? Is there any point. Chances of it making a difference are slim. The odds were they would comfortably beat us. You think then Atkinson better in that position than Laing or Storey? Nope. Believing someone else could have played is different to "questioni...

darlo_baron

Don’t understand the formation tonight. Why go 4-2-3-1? Just put Atkinson in midfield, bring Storey in at CH and not play maguire or O’neill. The two with Reid doesn’t work, he doesn’t have the legs. Hoping for Holness, Hatfield and Wheatley on Sunday. Thought exactly the same when I saw the team s...

darlo_baron

No idea what we were trying to do tonight. O'Neill playing deep was bizarre and should have been canned not persisted with. Reid offers precisely nothing and our midfield had no energy again.

Unfortunately this is now 4 identical home performances which is a worrying trend.

darlo_baron

It's truly baffling how Reid appears to be the first name on the team sheet every week. I thought he had a good first half but don't see how he fits into our best midfield 3. As for the defence, what a car crash. Hunt is a massive miss and that was highlighted today. It is also worrying that in the ...

Given Mowden alluded to this investor, at the time the Sporting Village proposal seemingly collapsed with the council's withdrawl, I assume they have plans to rectify the concept, in some guise.

darlo_baron

You simply can’t ostracise a large proportion of your fan base by only allowing about a third of them in. And you cant kick off a football season knowing that every game you play at home will lose you money, and added to that, some of the fan base will feel unsafe standing around at Blackwell Meado...

darlo_baron

Fact remains that currently, as alluded to many times by DJ, we are not putting any further money into BM when the relationship isn't beneficial to the football club. DJ has also stated that, ideally, we need our own facility that wholly benefits the club. On the face of it, therefore, BM is not a v...

People have some very selective memories of Styche. The lad bagged consistently in a relegation threatened team and was a key reason why we stayed up. He then became the scapegoat for a poor start to the following season, where Tommy assembled a hump side. In a better side he would have been an unde...

darlo_baron

When Ty & Campbell played in the same side Campbell tended to be out on the left or right. My recollection was we had two up top when we had O'Neill. Campbell would generally play off him but don't remember him being played wide specifically - at Trafford in particular he was mostly central and was...

darlo_baron

I have been wondering lately has the fan owned model lost a bit momentum? I wish you'd lose momentum and fuck off. You make having Spen and polarbear hanging around here seem like a good thing. Charming. Someones rattled your cage. I was not have a dig just stating a fact. Has it flown owner your h...

I wonder how far off the lad is from full fitness. Did AA say it could be March time or have I made that up?

It will be interesting to see if he's going to be back involved with all the Love Island stuff that will come his way in the near future.

darlo_baron

433 for me too. Wouldn't mind seeing Martin given a go in the O'Neill role and Omar back in for Reid. The midfield, in my view, has been at its best with Hatfield, Wheatley and Omar. Would be nice to give Martin a go, in a system that worked for us previously, and see if he could bring Campbell and ...

darlo_baron

Apparently Styche has left today "by mutual consent" Gone to Bromsgrove Sporting in the league below before any of our fans start to get nostalgic. Not nostalgic at all for Styche. A bit of a bad penny by the look of it with a massive ego. The exact opposite of the players we currently have. Agree ...

darlo_baron

Neither. You can't change yesterday. However you influence tomorrow. When tomorrow comes you'll thank me . Do tell me what I will be thanking you for? So far, your life on this forum has involved spreading barely legible rumours, based on a clear grudge you have against the people running the club....
