Re: #together

It's not about misery or being positive, Eric. What I read on here are regular assessments of fact. Every time you read something you don't want to hear, you bite. Continuing Darryl's corporate lingo, I'd suggest he has three key objectives for the first year: 1) Grow revenue 2) Provide evidence of ...

Re: #together

"To me, life is about passion, commitment, enthusiasm, loyalty, fairness, trust, continuous learning, ambition, aspiration, friendship and camaraderie combined with perseverance, courage and resilience and finally, humility and a sense of fun." Funny that Darryl, to me, life is about three...

#together

I'm both a regular receiver and instigator of corporate cliched circulars, however, today's verbose message from the chairman takes some beating. Whilst well intended, no doubt, it confirms that the new regime are big on intent and lacking in substance. I'd assumed, naively, that our scouting networ...

Re: The U's v Cheltenham Town

MApp has been manager at four difference clubs, for a total of 109 games, equivalent to just short of two and a half seasons. His WDL record adds up to 117 points, which is 1.1 point per game, or 49 points for a whole season. An average of relegation. How much patience can be expected with such a po...

Re: The U's v Cheltenham Town

Or alternatively, patience may lead to an outcome that is not worth thinking about.

Re: The U's v Cheltenham Town

There is nothing to suggest that we are'nt going to be sucked in to the relegation battle during January. Once in amongst the mix, I really don't fancy our chances. Whilst teams below prepare for a fight with pragmatic, dull, lower league experienced managers, we continue to delude ourselves in the ...

Re: Meh

I'm genuinely staggered at how bad that was today. There's certainly never been an equal to that Boxing Day experience. I'm done with Appleton. Get him out before it's too late.

Re: Meh

Appleton is not up to the job. We won't see promotion under him, unfortunately. Ideals and intention are great, the execution naïve and lacking. All this talk of play offs is nonsense and worrying. We still have a relegation battle to win. Failure to recognise this concerns me. Meanwhile, the footba...

Re: Manor Memories Book - contributions invited

Perhaps your Uncle should have had a quiet word with "Pluggy" KY. He could conduct a good tune from up on the wall, encouraging many a classic (when he wasn't booting the ball off the penalty spot) ....... Na Na Na Na Na Na Naaaa, Kevin, Kevin Brock, Kevin Brock.

Re: Manor Memories Book - contributions invited

Yes, indeed. That was right at the back end of The Manor days, slipping out from The Butchers, for a quick kick around. That was special, as were my penalties as I recall :lol: Around the same time, I went up to the Manor to say goodbye, just me and my boy, whom was a baby at the time. No one else t...

Shite, that's an opportunity lost. Adams may well have been our 'get out of jail card'.

Appropriate for a league two relegation battle? Is this really a time for unproven inexperienced kids?

Re: I wasn’t there, Jerome.

Appleton has two games to save his career. If we were to go bottom, after fourteen games, and having been turned over by Wilder's team, there'll be no way back for him.

Re: I wasn’t there, Jerome.

Does anyone truly believe that Appleton is capable of turning this around? Are there any indicators that suggest we will improve? We're in real trouble.
