Match Thread vs. FC Halifax Town 05.10.21 [NL]

Very sketchy reports on the Facebook page…not my own! Apparently due to the fracas with him and someone from their bench….did he headbutt someone?

Probably b0llocks!

No he didn't, but whatever he said to their assistant upset him as he went at him and had to be restrained from hitting Burch.

That was just rank bad management. Mitchell for Rodrigues sub was nuts, just get either Francis/Vincent on, pack the midfield a bit and see it through.

Nemane should have been off when he was injured, Mitchell was already on and has played on the left, bang on Francis or Vincent pack the middle, keep the ball.
JOB who I thought was MOTM shouldn't be expected to play 90 and would definitely have benefited from being part of a midfield solid 3.
I don't believe in Burchnall, I don't think he's going to turn this around and I don't think the players do either.

I think that there are a number with a similar opinion. He doesn't have the nous for this league.

We need to get back to the old fashioned scouting system. There must be players at lower leagues that can do a job at this level. Never mind stats or data, rely on eyeballs to find players.

He's lost the dressing room. Players need a shake up. Big boot up the ass. We need an old tough manager. No nonsense. Mad dog type

I think Burch can be questioned on a lot of fronts right now but not losing the dressing room.

Didn't the players run to back him up while he was squaring off with their assistant? That's not a sign of a manager who has lost the dressing room.

Good point. A glimmer of light perhaps.

Have to say, a fantastic commentary by Slater and Stallard, thrilling stuff.

They're summing up the result as "inexcusable". I feel a bit sorry for Burch though, he's not been brought in to be a manager in the traditional sense and probably doesn't have much say in who is brought in and very probably how to play.

Yep, great commentary for what sounded an absolutely pulsating match.

A glimpse into our future tonight. Halifax an average team that doesn't give up, in front of 2000 supporters,,,,,,,sad but a possibility if we don't get out of this league

Our players seem happy to stay in this league, why shouldn't we?
