Agreed, was he a first choice signing tho or a desperation signing and the markets running dry and close to what he ideally wanted. TM must of had the 343 as his chosen formation in early July so he could install it into his team over preseason. Recruitments clearly not gone to plan but with...

A manger picks the game plan, it's up to the players ability, desire and mental strength to get the job done. The fact we have no natural leaders is a major factor, and will prove even more so this year I fear. As for the teams you quote... Burton came up as champions and had a settled winning...

While I partly agree with you on the releasing of some players we should of kept in yours on my opinion. But how many wanted rid of the likes of Arron Phillips, John fleck who was a average league one player in most eyes on here. Did we also really want to offer new deals to Hunt, Henderson...

I cannot think of anyone else who would get the job done with what we have and situations delt. Just maybe he's struggling to sign player as people don't want to come and play for our club that's commonly known in football as going down the pan

He's the best at this level that's for sure. We had a great first half of season last year but yet again he needed backing to strengthen in January. It was clear from mid November the kids were faltering and needed support. He had no backing and had to get in free has beens. You say spent money...

If I was TM I'd say stick this shit job up your arse! I'm off!! He's had no backing or support simple. There is no manager out there who will do a better job with the tools to hand. He needs support from the board or he club will inevitably sink into league 2 at best.

Only need to look at where Barnsley were when we were top last season......There a championship club now.

I'm not going to this one, could be a quid to go and I'd still not. I don't agree with development sides being entered into the cup that's aimed for league one and two sides to compete for s final at Wembley. Happy to go watch v Accrington Hartlepool or Bolton... Not West Ham. I only hope low...

RCC - 6 Made a howler but sure redeemed himself by not bringing his man down for a pen. Willis - 8 living up to expectation, solid enough. Just that pass?? Ricketts - 6 not his greatest fan but did a solid enough job, not a captain tho. Harries - 9 looks special.. In the John stones mould and...

Yeah, hold my hands up. Preseason I thought he'd be ideal in a alternative forward line... He looks league 2 now at this stage of his career and you need to play a type of football to suit him and we clearly don't play that way. I don't think bury gave him much service but he managed to win a...

He will hammer Sam Ricketts all evening. I hope he's not Ricketts man at set pieces or were doomed

Yeah, strange. I think Thomas would benefit from the movement of Reid and JJ, Tudgay alongside him makes him ineffective. It's early in the season and Reid and JJ did not play a great deal and JJ has had a niggle already

I do fear Tom Pope, I think he's gonna cause us problems and will have the beating of Sam Ricketts all evening.

I don't see the idea on playing George Thomas with Marcus Tudgay. Too similar in style and pace. Plays into the haters hands.

That first half Saturday was very clear we need someone in the box, the amount of times we got in good positions but we had no one in the killer area. I've previously stated on the Tom Pope thread as being the ideal man to be waiting in the box but I really don't think he suits the formation...

Yes the lads came today too. Tho for the last 2 years they've not sent him a birthday card but did get a Xmas card. Both times I had to email the club. Anyone else has this issue?

Suppose that's what the sports science and fitness people are for. They must of set the programme for him to follow over the summer

Yeah that was me. Now he's bulked up its taken a bit of his speed away but the other aspects of his game are there he just needs fine tuning. It takes time tho. But playing him on the left of a slow front line don't suit him

What's us buy him in January lol

Seriously there is more knockers on here than a page 3 calendar!! Did he really have much chance on Tuesday? To be fair to George he had limited service, if the midfield are not playing you in and creating opportunities for you or your strikers each side of you are not creating space for you to...
