I doubt Burchnall has much say on how we play in general, nor the type of players we can bring in. There will be a blueprint that he has to stick to. I feel a bit sorry for him to be honest, I don't think he is to blame.

He started really badly and things only went right for him when the players decided to react over the Mo Ross situation.

This season we started reasonably well - results wise - largely thanks to a kind set of opening fixtures. We're now likely seeing a return to pre-Mo Ross sacking mentality, brought on by the return visit to the scene of the crime. Altrincham is our 'bitter lake'.
