Platt is an upgrade on Purver.
Sukar needs dropping, Lawlor is streets ahead of him.

If he was right footed he would be nowhere near the starting eleven

Who else applied when Gowling got the job? Anyone know ?

Maybe DJ has Steve Watson on speed dial ?

How long before the “Alun out” crowd start on Gowling then……

I’m not sure we are any better off to be honest

However, it appears that the 3 departed have done so of their own accord. Slightly worrying. Depends. I would suggest that most people in their position would have put their name out for new roles the moment Alun was sacked. Well...that is what I'd do in the same position. I literally pointed out t...

Hedley isn't/hasn't been injured.

Totally bizarre Windass was signed after one game + now we have abandoned the 3-5-2.

I don’t think Hedley is better than Griffiths or Mustoe in my opinion - I would have him on the bench though

What about someone like Lee Cattermole , Robbie Stockdale or Grant Leadbitter type ?

Up and coming young coaches with good links to the big clubs in the region

Time for Alun and Darren to go , take Ray with them too!

Let’s have a reset and bring some much needed positivity to the club

Just got a feeling AA might leave Nelson out with it being on 3G

A deserved point which could well have been 3 but for Sukars stupid challenge as we were well on top. Thought Lawlor had his best game for a while and as we thought, Hatfield led by example throughout. Have not scored from open play yet and am worried where the goals will come from. Thought it was ...

Hatfield has a good enough reputation to have options but in my view a midfield that included him and Platt has the potential to be a real handful for most of our rivals. Totally agree Lucan, we have the makings of a good side and Hatfield is just what we need. Sent from my moto g(6) play using Tap...

That was sort of my point - we might need to be careful what we wish for

AA is an established manager at our level, if we were to get rid it should have been at the end of the season! Time to back him in my opinion

If AA was no longer in charge who would be the candidates for the job do you think ?

I’m struggling to come up and any real solutions

What really matters is we have played friendlies with different formats and when it comes to the first league game a totally different scenario a system that wasn't played in friendlies or personal. Why the manager picked those players over the benched players only he knows. But I would like to see...

A.A. Mentions in his interview that he and “Daz” were isolated from the touch line - however who’s fault is that 👎 Unless AA is banned at the moment does he mean isolated from each other - as part of the new directives? Only one person may stand at the front of the technical area. All the rest must...

Judging from what I’ve seen so far I think we could start the season like this - (assuming no further additions) Taylor Griffiths Lees Lawlor Mustoe Moke Platt Liddle Felix Hazel Curry If AA does go 532 then I think you would see Windass in for Griffiths and then Felix to be replaced by Sukur

I went along and wished I hadn’t it was to blustery and not that good for football. Nothing gained here.

Totally disagree!

I thought we did well today and more than matched them for large periods of the game

Mustoe , Curry and Lees look like strong additions

AA stays as long as he wants to stay for me. With a mid table budget of course it's nice to aim for the play offs but reaching them would be an over achievement. I'm not sure I'd ever be comfortable with parting with a manager for not over achieving. Absolutely spot on regarding the playoffs would ...

Apparently Martin signed up several days ago, but Ray hasn’t got round to reporting it let. Well he would have done, but the signing was going to take place on a piece of scrap paper in the groundsman’s hut. There was also the issue of the white line marking machine in the way, so apparently Ray ha...

John Lufudu has rejected new terms at Spendy. I know we already have Griff and Hedley but I think John would be an improvement on these two and we could push Ben into Midfield. I really don’t think he’s the type of RB we need , for me if we were to bring in another RB I’d want someone a bit taller ...

I think he will bring in another young keeper as back up on really low money similar to Lucas Martin

So with a squad of 13 signed on I think we still need the following - GK CM x 2 LW CF Who do we think AA will be looking at? Wonder if there will be a loan player or two in there ? If Felix and Liddle both sign then the squad will be starting to take shape. Gk. Taylor Defence. Griffiths, Hedley, Mu...

Clearly he does read this board and social media because he references some of the gripes we fans have had recently, so well done to all those who have been banging the drum about it. Just this one mostly positive interview can make all the difference. The whole lack of communication was really ann...

Talk about being taken for granted

It seems a little strange that our Head of Media & Communications is on holiday during the BTB run-in. Perhaps there are scheduled posts such as contract renewals ready to be drip-fed to the fans - which has happened previously… Why is it strange that our Head of Media & Communications is on holida...

Another darlo97 has a bad opinion on. Is he for real.i dispair at some of the post by him. Jarrett has been a very good servant of the club suffering COVID 3 times taken an awful lot out of the lad a few nigiling injuries knocked him . But to publicly call him trash is beyond comprehension. You are...

Amble-based, so he could go to Morpeth or Hebburn.

That said, wouldn’t mind seeing him here if we can’t bring in Toby Lees.

Do you think Lees is physical enough ? Is he the dominant CB we need ?
