Ian Burchnall interview

[Elite_Pie]

The Burchnall Bandwagon was set up on Day One obviously prematurely as all bandwagons should be and it's not surprising to me that so many have openly joined and have been suitably impressed with the PE Teacher who has never played at professional level, and has no experience of the English game let alone the National League. Anyone still still undecided it's not too late to become a rider#choochoo

I'm one of those who is still undecided, and bandwagons and hashtags aren't my thing. I really like what Ian Burchnall and the owners are trying to do and it would be brilliant if it worked, but I have my doubts that it's the blueprint for gaining promotion from the National League. I'm enjoying the journey so far, but for all our attacking power I think we concede soft goals far too easily, and we have a lightweight midfield. On that basis, my glass is both half full and half empty. I would love nothing more than to be eating a big plateful of humble pie at the end of the season, but I'm just saying it as I see it.

You're right o have your reservations about conceding soft goals and lacking some bite in midfield but maybe we have to sacrifice these to get the exciting, flair players into the team?

Conceding soft goals isn't an issue if you keep out scoring the opposition regularly

Agree with that, I hate 'respecting the point' and I'd much rather watch a 4-3 win than a 1-0 win.

Absolutely, but not everybody agrees - being entertained by a 4-3, 3-2 is 'bad for your health' apparently. Some even sound serious about it! To those who say it jokingly, please don't Don't give any encouragement the boring instincts that sit on every bench in the country. Let's embrace the IB way and leave the guy who complains when we win but concede 2 to moan on his own

[SwalePie]

Oh goody. Fishing AND chips.

Must be Friday.
