Match Thread v York

Quoted from sam gy

People don’t like to consider facts, or even bother with a slight bit of “research” ie watching videos and listening to interviews.

Someone on FB was moaning about the performance and squad and the fact that we’ve not been told anything about Rose’s whereabouts so he’s definitely leaving.

If he’d have listened to or read literally any interview he’d have known he’s coming back from injury, and if he’d have watched the training video he’d have seen he’s started training. But no, he’s being hidden and definitely leaving. Artell out, Stockwood out, Pettit out. Everybody out.

Correct, and if the poster who said we hadn't heard anything about the new training ground for 3 years had watched the Fans Forum, he would have heard JS state that there were legal issues holding it up that were out of the clubs control.  It's all out there, just some people are too lazy to do any research.

They are not outside the clubs control because they could find a different site without problems .

BUT.........

did DA see any York players who were good enough to catch his eye?

There Number 14 could do a job for us at Number 9

1. The legal issues ARE out of the clubs control.

2. Seeing as you are so knowledgeable re finding another site, perhaps you should volunteer to help them find and buy one!

That was a painful watch. It might have been hot. They might have trained hard for previous three days, but it simply wasn’t good enough by a mile. Less than three weeks to sort that lot out.

FFS, it was a 5 minute clip from 90 minutes of football!

Yes, but those were the ‘highlights’. Pretty clear that Artell wasn’t happy with it so no reason for us to make excuses. It was shìt.

Having said that it seemed to me that York were taking it seriously while we were treating it as an ‘extension of training’ to quote Artell. A few more friendlies to go including 2 against L1 opposition, hopefully we will have a more settled squad with a few quality additions and start to see some sort of game plan emerging.

If not, I’ll be worried.

York (T5)  had a dire game 3 days earlier against Whitby Town (T7) so probably had ringing ears  

By all accounts, we had a poor match, and it looks like York scored our goal as we couldn't, but in the end its a training game with U18 and trialists and as someone else said 1/2 the team is actually not the team so the result is what you get. If you're going to make mistakes, now is the time to be allowed and make them. We lost no points as well remember.
After last season's fiasco, I'm not too sure about DA, however, I am sure we must allow him to play sparring/training matches in any experimental way he wants so he can see better what he has, and needs. I see no point in standing at his elbow and hissing.

Finally, if the Yorkshire Slums song was to have impact, I'm not sure singing it in a modern stadium with all mod cons is a good idea when we have BP Retro Shabby Chic, soon to be a UNESCO World Heritage Site as our home. I happen to like BP and in time it will be modernised, but if you start throwing stones make sure you don't live in a glass house, with fragile thin panes, and a whole load of cracks, that's all. Here endeth the sermon.
