Quoted from MuddyWaters


How many Conference games did Southwell start? He started 3 cup games and scored 5 goals including 1 from the bench. I know he's not the same type of player as LJL but his strike rate was better than any other at the club.


I'm sure, if I had the time or inclination, that I could trawl this message board and find countless posts saying he wasn't good enough and very few saying he was. There seems to be a strange habit at the minute of looking back on ineffective strikers with rose tinted glasses.


Looking forward to a brighter future now Fenty has gone.

And those three goals were all against Coalville, they're three leagues below us ffs, I reckon I could score 3 past them.

Think thst this shows the frustration of all the fans seeing what we had and ehat we have now . No progression as we were promised . Players come and go we are here for life , we see different things to what thd manager sees . Unfortunately most fans can see where it's going wrong but the most important man can't .  To even have a contract as a professional footballer to many would be a dream come true . To be a professional footballer you must have had the skill and ability to be awarded one in the first place . It's the managers job to enhance the abilty and mentality of the player whatever division they are in . Some do it better than others ,  what camp are we in ?

I don't know how anyone can question the ability of the self-titled Goal Machine.

I think Pittman is an improvement on anything we've had since Hearn in his prime but predictably is injured.

Being an ineffective striker never stopped Hurst picking LJL.

Therein lies the real problem. Just reading this board there are countless opinions as to what is going wrong which vary depending on the latest result.As far as I know none of us are professionals. I wouldn't know where to start in installing a central heating system but I'm safe in the knowledge that there are people out there who can so I don't have to try. In my defence of him I've second guessed what Hurst was thinking tactically but in reality have no idea. It's not a problem really as this is just a message board that people use to let off steam but for me the problem comes when we do actually think we know the job!

I just think Hurst coaches good stuff out of the players. We have signed some good players on paper who seem to do well for a few weeks after they arrive then just seem to get worse and worse.

Nostalgia i.e. the pain of looking back (It's from the Greek) Bit like those who want this country to return to what it was like in the 50s

So you would say that this MB should pick the team?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.
