Please go now, Artell

I totally agree about the midfield. We were unlucky to lose Wintle so quickly but now Perry and Ray are available again perhaps we can shore it up again. Put Walker and Perry as defensive miss plus either Barlaser or Lowery then Ainley behind the front two. This will mean 5 lines of formation and no wingers but without Porter we don't need them -we can rely on fullbacks getting forward.

We have been unlucky with injuries all season. I am not convinced Ray is fit. If he was, I would have expected him to be playing yesterday. Jones, Wintle (again), Porter, Dagnall and Ray could all be described as key players in our squad and to have been deprived of 3 of them virtually all season and 2 experienced strikers at the business end of the season could justifiably be described as rotten luck.

My latest thoughts on the Artell Out situation are these:
He is doing his best in a difficult situation at the club, having heard the latest about what is happening behind the scenes. We all knew that our problems ran deeper than team management. Injuries have been cruel to the cause too. Difficult games since the good win on New Year's Day, so now is the time to get behind the team and give the lads a chance to redeem themselves. Who would they replace Artell with anyway? Doesn't seem there is a massive budget available to bring in an experienced pair of hands anyway.
