Who's now got the nicest hair/teeth combo at GTFC?


I think Pearson is in line for that accolade.

Thanoj and Neilson gone in less than a year. Arnold and Bore's salon won't do too well now.


What's Peter Till up to these days?

These players never think of the consequences for salons and cosmetic dentists do they?

After a brief bit of data mining (makes looking through Soccerbase sound impressive!), I came cross an interesting stat.

In the matches in which Neilson was an unused substitute on the bench, our record stands at played 5, won 5!

I realise there are lies, damned lies and statistics, but you can see why Hurst was never overly keen to bring him back into the team when we were on a good run of form!

Just a pity we couldn't have left him on the bench a bit more often.  

Overall, our points per game is only a little better without Neilson in the team than with. Not much in it really.

I know here in the Conference it isn't  exciting ,  It just seems now we haven't  go a flare player any more,  we have grafters  who do a job . Think I'm a bit disappointed  because Scott , on his day was a game changer,  Lincoln knew that and did a job on him here . Who knows , if he hadn't  got injured and had a prolonged run in the team things might have been different  .

Next 2 games are pivotal,  silly mistakes  have mapped our season , play off lottery again  all being well .

I sort of agree with this, but I'd also make the point that Hurst is also a tinkerer. I'd love him to keep a settled side when things are going well but he doesn't, not really. He rotates his wingers, inside forwards and strikers all the time, almost irrespective of form.

Take Mackreth as an example. He scores the winner at Macclesfield then gets dropped the very next game (home to Lincoln - for Neilson, ironically).

He only does it with the attacking players, though. He doesn't seem to fear that Pearson might get jaded, or Magnay, by playing them week in, week out.

Just for clarity, I'm happy that he doesn't chop and change the defence. It's what makes it one of the tightest in the league.

I just wish he'd stop chopping and changing his attacking players so much - I'd argue that it doesn't allow the players to understand one another and doesn't support little partnerships here and there. Maybe with a more settled front line, we'd score more goals.
