Sent you a DM, Pete. See if you got it, mate. See if it worked as well!

Replied gump

I know it's early days but we were warned that we would draw too many games under LW and it's beginning to look that way maybe. His win rate at Swindon was only just over 26% so a little worrying so far. The style of "destroying teams" as was promised hasn't shown it's face yet.

LW was asked about going to a flat back four y Charlie Slater in an earlier interview this season, and he didn't rule it out. We played two up top on Saturday, so that does seem to pop the balloon,that is we will only play one formation.

The recruitment team signed both Langstaff and Scott with the intention of playing both together. I'm pretty sure Williams would have been instructed accordingly..
if he doesn't adhere to the instructions given, then he will be collecting his P45..

I'd personally like a top midfield signing but that just isn't going to happen and we'll end up with another youth player that won't do much for us. We don't need a midfielder that has to develop, we need one ready made that is box to box, we have the money, go get one

Drawing games is fine but comes with the proviso so long as they are backed up with wins. What it does mean for a club going for promotion is there is more pressure on to win games and a run of wins as well. Simply because it’s only one point for a draw.

At the moment for the optimist we are unbeaten in four. It’s a little platform for us to build on. For the pessimist it’s one win in four hence being four points behind the leaders Barnet.

It’s still very early days. In three games time we need to be on 14 points to keep on track with the 2ppg. So ideally need to win two and draw one.

So we need to win the next three games which is unlikely. I can see us drawing Halifax, probably draw Solihull if not lose and draw Dagenham mainly because we have yet again failed to fix issues we have had for years. I want to know the role Richard Montague plays as he is supposed to be head of recruitment?

durhampie, if the owners want such strict control, why employ a coach and especially an assistant. Just pay someone to keep the players fit and instruct them to play to the owners formation.
Who on earth would take a coach's job on to not have any say in how your team play.

That's why Ardley got the sack, because he wanted to do it way and not the owners..

[Magpies1959]

Took them.long enough to sack him then.
