Do we have a date when we might expect Mc Allister back in the starting line up? A couple of weeks back I thought I read he was back in training?

someone posted that the player had suggested he would be available for the end of this month? I assume the Blackpool/Carlisle game?

Possibly, possibly not but what I do know is that if PH would not have gone to Crawley and started with a 4 - 3 - 3 and maybe would have set "us" up much tighter than we have been in the last 5 games. Just before anyone comes back with PH would not have won 3 - 0 at Plymouth well again he possibly would not have but his away record was amongst the best we have had so who knows?
Bottom line for me is that Marcus is a really good appointment but as I said in a post earlier he needs to work on evolution rather than revolution as the latter was not really needed considering what he inherited. I am surprised that he appears to have tried to change so many things when we have a really tough run of matches and that has possibly exposed a lack of experience at FL level.
Overall though Marcus will get it right but we may just have to be patient for a couple of weeks more, which is much better than going to play away in the trophy or at Braintree on a cold foggy night in February.
totally agree - it's almost a bull in a china shop approach; too much change too soon.i could understand it if we were in a shrewsbury/newport position but we were doing doing pretty well. would have seemed much more sensible to change it bit by bit. have to say watching that crawley game it was like an end to end cup tie i was actually wishing we had kept some of hurst's defensive discipline, or at least played a holding midfielder

Marcus is trying to get the players to play his way
For the ones who can not adapt tells Marcus what he needs in the January sales,
It is right to do it now because it will be too late to do it later in the season,
We need some energy in the middle of the field,
Our present midfield players do not play like that imo,
Venney deserves a run in the side the few times I have seen him he fits the bill.

venney not big enough and Clifton not good enough is what I'm hearing , I think both should be given a go and soon.

I am probably one of the most negative posters on here, but at the moment I am still full of optimism and hope. I think we have a manager that really wants us to play attractive attacking football, but has been hampered with the quality of players he has inherited. I never agreed with all the happy clappers comments that Hurst could find a good player. Lets all stick together and at least give MB the chance to get in a few of his own players and see what happens then. After 4 years of Hurst and I wanted him out there was a strong contingent on here that wanted to give him more time. After 4 games you are giving MB a hard time. Give over.

I think that Dis and Venney will replace Sommerfield and Berrett on Saturday and that some on here are far to quick to defend what has become the indefensible regarding some aspects of our midfield, IMO to play both the ex York lads together in the same team will only end in tears, sounds harsh but its what message boards are about

A lot of people said Dave Boylen was not big enough when we first got him, How wrong was they ?

Agree, I think for every good player Hurst signed he got it wrong 2 or 3 times, Hence our huge turnover of players while he was in charge,

The best thing we can do is enjoy the ride. We are not expected to win every game, therefore criticism is all to easy. What we do have, is an honest and likeable manger that is working for attractive and attacking football. What we can do as mariners, is support the manger. Lets see what January brings.
